...of your research plan, you must first draft a research question for your research paper that will guide the rest of your writing. A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that your research paper will be answering. For example, if your general area of interest is social security, a possible research question might ask “How can low-income families save more money if the United States had a reformed social security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?” As you develop a research question, keep in mind that you will need to research sources to support your topic. Do not pick a one-sided question that will limit your research. Instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate—a question for which you genuinely want to know the answer. Try to pick a research question that is neither too broad, which covers too much, or too narrow, which covers too little. It should be broad enough to be discussed in a short research paper. |What is your general topic or area of interest? |Animal is the topic of interest that I have chosen. | |What is it about your general topic of interest that interests |The reason I chose animals as my topic of interest is because I | |you? |have always been so passionate about animals.

...The Superior Race Prciliana A. Gonzalez Communications 172 March 10, 2012 David Kindman University of Phoenix The Superior Race Animals have ruled the earth far longer than humans. Some even believe that humans actually evolved from animals. Since humans have been created, they have become advanced and superior to the animals. To many people, this change in roles is uncertain. However, humans are superior to animals because of their advanced communication skills, their mind, and the curiosity that only humans have. Humans Communication Skills Animals have been here longer than humans, but humans’ advanced communication skills prove to make them superior to animals. Steven Pinker (1994) explained the human’s capability when he wrote, “The first is that each one of us is capable of producing new sentences never before uttered in the history of the universe.”(Para. 1). This quote is explaining how humans are the only creatures on earth to introduce new forms of communication. They have the power to create new words and express feelings through these words. Having the ability to express feeling through communication is a powerful thing. It takes great creativity to detach oneself from their surroundings to see the irony in the meaning of the words. Humans are able to produce communication, but what makes them special are the different ways they communicate. In today’s society, people use five basic forms to communicate. First they use body language as a way of communication...

...Women in Psychology Paper Rex Little Psychology 310 History of Psychology 8/19/2011 Donna Allgood Women in Psychology Paper The woman I choose in psychology is Margaret Washburn. Margaret was well known as the first woman ever to be awarded a Ph.D. She was a great teacher and that alone would have made her worthy of the elevated status necessary for mention as a great woman in the field of psychology but she is also known by many contemporary psychologists and social science related people as an eminence whose works in the field are of extraordinary long-lasting importance. Margaret Washburn was born in Harlem, New York, July 25th 1871 and was an only child. She developed some of the most interesting theories about the relationship between motor development and mental activity. She worked with animals during her early schooling during some of her controversial studies wrote her book The Animal Mind (1904). She stated that “All psychic interpretation of animal behavior must be on the same analogy of human experience…Our acquaintance with the mind of animals rests upon the same basis as our acquaintance with the mind of our fellow man”(541). This was at a time when women were not supposed to express higher reasoning. One can only imagine the scrutiny she must have endured at hands of her peers and those in administrative positions with schools she was working from. There were many researchers around during this time who would have...

Dr. Croce has turned his decades-long pursuit of cancer remedies into a research empire. He has been the recipient of over $86 million in federal grants. He has also earned more than 60 awards.

Dr. Croce has been fending off allegations of data falsification and other scientific misconduct. An anonymous critic contacted authorities with allegations of falsified date in Dr....

...8 Week Treatment Plan using Expressive Group Therapy working with children who struggle with insecure attachment. What does insecure attachment look like? Attachment can be defined as “an emotional tie with another person, shown in young children by seeking closeness to the caregiver and showing distress on separation” (Myers, 1998). Early bonding experiences have a significant impact on the developing child and achieving a positive bond is essential to the child’s overall well being later in life. The relationship formed between caregiver and child acts as a template for all subsequent relationships. There are four different patterns of response that are considered to be indicative of child attachment to an adult caregiver; secure, insecure-avoidant, insecure-resistant/ambivalent or disorganized /disoriented. Theorist such as John Bowlby, Mary Ainsworth and Erik Erikson proposed that during the 1st year of life a working model is forged based on the caregiver/child relationship and lays the groundwork for future interactions. If the child is unable to form a secure attachment to his or her caregiver it can result in problems such as, relating to people, problems accepting care, problems with transitions, lack of conscience, emotional immaturity, and problems with trust and self-esteem. Children who have been severely maltreated, abandoned, raised in orphanages or placed in multiple foster homes exhibit...

...Chinese lady guest reading them a book about Chinese New Year. Peter as usual was sitting (not really sitting, moving his body around, and sometimes lying) in the first row listening carefully to the story and being engaged in it by giving comments about the pictures and answering the questions. When the guest asked the children to tell about their animal of the year in which they were born (the book was about Chinese New Year 2015 animal), Peter quickly raised his hand and answered that “mine is cow”. I checked it later at home since I knew his birth year and he was correct. He also claimed that he knew his mom and dad’s animals but I do not know if they were really correct. When the reader asked them to make the notices of animal pictured in the book, Peter eagerly made notices and seemed interested in doing this activity. After reading the book, the guest provided each child with a fold triangle shaped paper and asked them to cut the fold papers with scissors on the drawn marks to get a beautiful snow flake out of the paper. Children were asked to go to the tables to make their craft. Peter quickly ran to the table and took the scissors and started cutting the paper on the assigned mark. While his friends and other classmates constantly got help from the teachers to make sure which line they should cut the paper, Peter carefully but quickly cut the pattern out of the paper with no help from teachers. He was the first one to cut the paper and opened it as a snow flake. When he...

...Species Manifesto: Dogs, People, and Significant Otherness”, I found the paper very intriguing to read. Being an animal lover myself, I can understand from where Haraway was coming from in this paper. The fact that she decided to use “companion species” instead of just the simple “pet” term signified so much, especially since she focused this paper mostly on one of my favorite animals, dogs. By attempting to explore the unique connection and history between the different species that is dogs and humans. With that being said one of the goals she wanted to achieve in her study was break down the core bond that we have with dogs; our ideas, mutuality, and our use of primal urge with them. This brings up certain questions such as why we keep animals as pets and why it is important to study how they have evolved and grown with us over time....

...GOD MOTTO: My motto is to help people, plants, animals and birds to live a happy and healthy life without polluting the environment but save more for the future and make it brighter. NOTE: Without tree there is no life. A mother gives us life by giving us birth and a tree is even greater than a mother as it gives us birth every day, every second to numerous living beings in this earth. IDEA: The idea about my plan is regarding a social service that is helpful to the environment in reducing pollution in the atmosphere by planting saplings and making sure that they grow into big and health trees. It is important for me to mention that this is totally a non-profitable organization and the main motto is to give life to birds and animals as trees are considered to be a shelter to living beings. This organization is named as, ‘Tree God’. This name is inspired because a tree gives us life every second and everyday just as God does. Without trees, there is no life on Mother Earth. Plant trees to save the life of all living beings and mother earth. Save your lungs. Do not pollute the environment. If you do, this is what you will go through... Without a tree it is not possible for a human being to even survive for even a second as trees breathe in carbon dioxide that we release and breathe out oxygen that we inhale. This oxygen is very essential to human beings or any animal. The beauty about a tree is that, it absorbs poison that we release and...

...4/16/2015 Reaction Paper Cycle 3 Topic B Thesis The topic of this paper is David Hume’s belief whether or not nonhuman animals are rational. David Hume has a belief that is in contrast to that of the Cartesian view of humans possessing a unique ability to reason. He believes that nonhuman animals do have this ability to reason but not one in the same as humans. In this paper I am going to defend Hume’s beliefs but also point out some of the downfalls to his arguments. Exposition Hume believes that nonhumans do have the ability to reason because to suggest that they couldn’t would be implying that humans are radically different from animals. This is not good reasoning because humans and animals behave and have a great amount of similarities to each other. This is not to suggest that humans and nonhumans are completely alike because humans do possess differences on their ability to reason. Humans reason using analogy, linking similar causes and similar effects. Animals do not possess certain cognitive abilities and cannot engage in demonstrative reasoning, or the process of becoming aware that one idea stands in relation to another and is connected by a chain of ideas. The major distinction between humans and animals Hume suggests is that animals cannot improve their reasoning. Hume is not suggesting that there is not difference only that it would be incorrect to say that animals do possess the ability to reason. His first reason to suggest that animals have the ability...
