Research Paper

I very much enjoyed class today. I felt very confident and able to be open with the class for once. I very much liked the activity that we did to figure out what we should do our research paper over. Some of the topics I had to choose from were: racism, driving age raised, healthcare, cancer, divorce rate, smoking, and countries debt. The two I came down to were racism and the driving age being raised. I really wanted to do racism because my boyfriend is Korean and I see many steriotypes and labels that he gets. Today, no one sees who a person is anymore and just judges them. I also really like the driving age being raised as a topic because I have a lot of experience with that. I worked as a volunteer in the ER for a year and I saw so many young kids die, being brain dead, and critically injured all because they aren't mature enough to be behind the wheel. I decided on the driving age because I have more personal experience with it and I really would like to learn more about it. The class gave me some solid questions: why is the driving age so low in South Dakota, how many deaths have been caused by the young driving age, who put the driving age to 14, and how much would it cost to raise it. I believe I have a good solid background on this topic and will be able to write a great research paper.
