Dave has some new questions for me!
Dave: Hey you, I think you can't really say that one opinion is better than another one. Don't you agree?
Me: Well sure, my opinion is no better than yours or anyone else's. But because of research, my opinion is formed and sides with the way it does. I think that because I have so much support to back up my opinion I can say mine is better but only because of the back up that I have to explain why I think this way. Plus it's proven that I am not the only one that thinks this way, therefore I'm just entering the bigger conversation with my opinion.
Dave: Ok, well there's all this stuff in the book about research as a process of discovery. What did you discover?
Me: I discovered a whole knew culture and the discrimination associated with it when it comes to the children with this culture of Deafness and their educational and social development. I also discovered that there are things that we can do about it. Even a small action of just spreading awareness can do this and inspire a teacher or school enough to take action in this issue.
Dave: What do you figure was the most challenging problem you had to solve while working on this research project? How did you solve it?
Me: I think the most challenging problem was really finding out what way I was going to approach this subject in getting a clear thesis and structure and to be honest what I did to help me sort this out was going to the LBC writing center and getting assistance and then doing further research in order to have an even clearer major question to be answering throughout my paper.
Dave: After all this work, what do you take away from this experience? What have you learned that you can use?
Me: I think that in general I know how to research for a topic and letting that guide my thesis and main point of my paper. The deeper the research the deeper I was able to sharpen my point. And I feel like with this I can basically use everywhere. If I have a main question or what to spread awareness about something but not sure how to approach it, I'll know how to research and with what keywords in order to get the results i want and sharpen my point.
