Reaserach In Daily Life
Reflection
Jhon Paul Pinote
Having completed this
project, I have learned how to better argue a point in a paper.Using facts and
examples, my arguments become that much better. A reader takes my argumentsmore
seriously when I have facts to back them up, especially facts researched from
crediblesources. Getting all these facts from different perspectives helped to
form my own points. WhenI use these facts, the paper itself changes completely.
It no longer seems like it is just somecollege kid writing. They were still my
arguments. But they were backed by well-known,credible sources.My Tskills also improved a great deal during this project. In previous research
papers, I stuck to using a few main sources to quote or get information from.
But now that I use alarger variety of sources, I can better understand the
topic that I am arguing about. Understandingmore about the topic helps me to
make a better argument. In addition, using this large variety of sources also
allows me to get information about my argument from many different
perspectives.With these different perspectives, I can create a conclusive
argument that sets the tone for theentire paper. This conclusive argument was
not only stated in my conclusion. It also helped me torewrite my thesis
statement and entire introduction. It also made the argument apparentthroughout
the entire paper.Before doing the actual research, I only had an idea about
what I was going to be arguing.I did not have a solid, conclusive argument.
During my time researching, I was able to develop this topic.

To be honest, I only started the paper with one solid point
to back up my argument. Allthe statistics and Congressional meetings about this
was what led me to my other points. Manyof the viewpoints of other authors
helped also. These authors gave me an opportunity to let thestatistics and
arguments swirl around in my head so that I could develop my own viewpoints
onthem. It was then that I started looking up points from credible sources that
supported my own.

This paper, in my opinion, was one of my best research
papers. The grade that I get on itmight not show it, but what I learned from it
will. In all my other research papers, I spent aboutone day doing actual research.
I used that formulaic approach to writing them and, in turn,learned nothing
about argument from them. The topic alone made this paper. My past papersmerely
discussed the history of some broad subject. This topic forced me to do far
more researchand, most importantly, made me think about the facts that I
researched. It helped me to apply thething that I was researching. This way, I
would learn more about the topic. Knowing more aboutthe topic made the paper
far easier. It helped me to develop more points and come to a good
