Comments on Books Research Matters

The Book Research Matters, was just ideal for the class. I am keeping my copy and not reselling it, because I am sure I will need it in the future. The book was very affordable especially as students are not very rich. The book has everything required for the 102 class.

#Reflections on Final Paper

I love my research topic. Social Networking, I am glad I chose the topic. Writing research papers is not my favorite thing to do, but after taking this class, I wouldn't have a problem in the future writing research papers. I have mastered MLA format and I know about block quotation now. This paper will help me in my senior year, because I know how to begin a paper, chose my topic, make rough drafts and final drafts. we learnt the differences with paraphrasing and coherence in a paragraph. Those were very important things we were thought in the class, and I am glad I know all those steps now. I give all credits to my English teacher Wendy Warren Austin for being a very good teacher of English language. I would take her again if I get another chance.

#Favorite Substantive Magazine

My Favorite Substantive was Wired. It took me a while to make this decision. But After careful observation, I realized that, the Wired magazine is based on science and technology. I have always been an electronics person. I love new technology, and being a Management Information Systems major, my interest has increased when it comes to technology. I love being ahead or at least up to date with the latest trend in technology. Wired happens to be the magazine. It is easy to browse through, the background color is user friendly, and it has a lot of news on science and technology. I have booked marked it as one of my favorite web magazines.

#Research Topics

For my research paper I had a couple of topics I wanted to talk about.

1. Democracy (Demonstration of craze)
2. Teenage Pregnancy 
3. Social Networking.

Democracy: For my first idea, I felt the need to discuss politics and democracy in the beautiful continent Africa. After Obtaining freedom from Colonial Powers years and years ago, some African Nations still have one leader or a group of people or tribe dominating and ruling the people. A lot of leaders hate to leave when they get elected to power. Corruption lingers within the cabinet of many African presidents. Money is being mismanaged and the masses are crying. Hungry for change and better leadership, people begin to protest, tribal wars and riots still occurs and persists in African Nations.

Teenage Pregnancy: Another issue I would have loved to write and research about is the rate of teenage pregnancy in our society today, especially in developed countries like England and United states of America. The rate of young females who get pregnant at a very young age is at a high. I would have discussed how this can be reduced, so our young teenagers can go to school and get educated, instead of being young mothers, babies having babies.

Social Networking: This topic was my final decision. I decided to write about social networking in organisations and institutions, because social networking changed the world and how people talk. On my paper, I highlighted the advantages and effects of Facebook and twitter and other social networks and how it have helped various organisations and businesses, giving them a new voice and how to reach out to their own targeted audience.
