Potential Research Topics

The five topics I choose are Abortion: Late- Term/Partial-Birth, Bullying, Cancer, Drug Abuse, and Teen Suicide. I choose these topics because they sound interesting and would like to find more information about it. I also choose these topics because there's things that I don't know and sometimes it's good to know things that we should know about, and might be useful later in life.





  • What is the topic you are reading about? The topic I'm reading about is Drug Abuse and the article is basically talking about how drugs are affecting many people. Some drugs are used for medicines and to help prevent diseases. But some people under age use drugs and it ends up affecting their health. When they start using it all the time they become addicted to them and hazardous to the health and safety of others.
  • What is the source citation? "Drug Abuse." Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection. Detroit: Gale, 2014. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 5 Oct. 2015.
  • Summarize the central idea of the overview in one or two sentence: The central idea of the article is too help others realize how it can affect them and how they can get a treatment if they want to continue a new life without drugs.
  • List two to four specific details that support the central idea : only a few people have access to drug treatment, if they can't pay for it.
  • Create an opportunity for further research by writing down two questions the text raises about the central idea: Why do only current people have access to treatmet?
  • Write down one word or phrase whose meaning you do not fully understand :  narcotics

    1. Jessica this is good so far. For some of the questions though, you didn't answer them completely.
