1) My research question is "Is sex a stress reliever?"
2) I settled with this question because I thought it was interesting. Were college kids and everyone is experimenting and wondering if this actually helps with stress.
3) My topic is timely because there are a lot of resources in the library and studies performed by universities all over the world. It is important to address the topic because everyone has some stress some with more than others and most people have sex. People should care because stress often refers people making poor decisions and everybody thinks about sex.
4) I expect to find experiments done, surveys taken, and other necessary research taken by the different agencies involved in the study. I have typed in Google and the library website and most of the sites were from universities.
5) Yes, I have come across scholars and Ph.D. that have studied this question and have written reports about the subject pertaining to sex and stress. They are finding that are it is a stress reliever and a lot of people are using this as a stress reliever according to some surveys I have looked at on Google posted by universities in their studies. There are a lot of different viewpoints. I'm writing in my view point and in my viewpoint only. If the reader does not like what I am writing about then stop reading it! I stand on the issue that it does provide stress relief and incases make a person more relaxed. I honestly don't know if my mind will change later in the semester, but honestly I do not think so.
6) The only question I have is about how exactly how to format the paper.

Neal, I admire your fortitude but we are not writing for ourselves; we are writing for an audience. In the next few weeks, I'll ask you to figure out who your audience is and how you'll appeal to them. Perhaps you WANT to directly address people who disagree with you; then your purpose will be to persuade them that sex is a stress reliever. And to do that, you won't want to offend your reader in anyway; you'll have to compose and intelligent argument. Also, since our "job" now is to see what's being said about our topics, you'll want to look for research by people with whom you disagree. Understanding their points of view will help you better argue your point: you have to know your enemy, in a sense.
ReplyDeleteAlso...what type of sex are you going to focus on? Not to be too graphic here, but are you looking at healthy, monogamous relationships? How do issues like one-night stands come into play here??
