The topic for my research paper is democracy and I don't have a specific direction at the moment. Lately, I've been researching more about democracy in general and not something specific. One specific direction I might go into is, "Is America a true democracy." The kind of resources I've found are articles. They mostly talk about the real definition of a democracy and the history of it. Some talk about democracy in America specifically. So far, I think I'm most proud of two websites I've found because they really tell me what I need to know for my project. I'm most confused about whether or not I should keep doing this topic. I feel like later on while working on it, I wouldn't be as interested. Therefore, the paper wouldn't be as good as I wound intend it to be. The next step I'd like to take on this project is finding better websites, specific to my research question. Another step would be finding a resource other than a website.
For the last several weeks, I have been working on my research paper. So far, it's been kind of hard. It's been a lot of work and it just had me question whether I wanted to continue doing it or not. In the end, I continued to do it and decided not to give up. One skill that has strengthened while working on my research paper is evaluating my sources. After I read a website throughly I realize whether I should use the source or not, whether it's reliable or not. For the first website I evaluated, I realized I didn't want to use it. I didn't find enough evidence and everything they talked about on the website wasn't something I wanted to include in my paper. I hope I continue to use this skill later down the road and continue to find better websites for my research paper.
