Global Issue Research Paper

I am writing my research paper on the harassment of disabled people in England. Lots of people have asked me how I came upon such a specific topic. The truth is, I am not even sure how I came to this topic. Our whole class went to a website with very broad global issues, and Disabilities caught my eye. My Parents are both doctors so I am interested in Medicine and Health. Then I went to another database and started to try and narrow my topic. That was the hardest part so far. I started out with disabled people in Ugonda, but I didn't like that topic. I kept looking, and found an article about the mistreatment of disabled people in England, and I knew that was what I wanted to do.

Finding sources for my topic was another challenge. But after finding 8-10 sources, It has been a lot easier. I have lots of good note cards, even though I am not using them all. I feel like now I can write a good paper with the information that I have. I have gotten off to a good start. I am in the process of writing my rough draft. I think that the hardest part of the paper will be (like most papers) the introduction and the conclusion. But overall, I think that it is going pretty well. Hopefully after monday, when we learn how to do the correct introduction, I will be able to write a good intro.

  1. I forgot to add how I spent my 150 minutes with my paper. I worked on my detailed outline at home for 2 nights, and I worked mostly on my actual rough draft part. That is where I spent the majority of my 150 minutes. I managed to finnish the body of the rough draft this weekend. (so everything but the introduction and the conclusion)
