Research Challenge

A research challenge that I have had in the recent past was when I was researching a paper for my English class. The paper was on stem cell research. I started off great because there is a fair amount of information out there. The problem is that everyone publishes the same information and I ran out of info. I was unsure of how to find more and better information to lengthen my paper. 

Critical Thinking Gone Wrong

I recently read and article about a woman who went blind because she was a victim of an acid attack. If she gets her way, the attacker will receive the same fate that she did. I think this is a crazy though and she is obviously not thinking clearly. She realizes the suffering that she has gone through and she has to be crazy in order to want to put someone else through the same feeling even if they did do something wrong. 

Progress Report

Compared to last time I posted on the progress of my project, not much has changed. I have not met with the organization another time so I haven't made it any further. Sorry for the boring information.

progress

Just a quick up date on the progress of the project. I haven't met with my organization since the last time. I have been brain storming ideas about how to help them out and I'm starting to come up with some solid ideas. That's about where I stand at this point. 

Book Search

I recently had an assignment to find a book in the library that I could use for my research project. How I found the book is by doing a library search on the Miller Center home page. I tried many different key words but I didn't have a lot of luck. I finally choose the world discrimination to find the book. That search didn't show a lot of good results but I did find one selection that I opened up. I didn't use this this book but I used the key words inside it to narrow my search. In this next search I found a book that I believe is almost exactly what I should be looking for. 

Research Topic

My organization and I finally came to a conclusion as what my research topic will be for sure now. We have decided that they need to reach out to more of a culturally diverse crowd for join the fraternity. I know that this is not a serious issue that they have to deal with, but it will be nice for them to have a different group of people. They have not had any problems in the past due to a racial issue but they also have no had to opportunity. Not that they want problems but they struggle to find new members outside of the white race. I plan to help them find ways to reach out to new members of different races. Hopefully they can draw new people into the fraternity with my help. 

Meeting

Once again I spoke with the campus organization I am working with. They contacted me because they wanted to set up a meeting to discuss the project. They want me to describe the project in final detail and to answer any questions that they have. I still have not set up the date for the meeting. Ill be back with more information.
