IP FINISHED!!!

Finally, the issues paper is finished. It is still a bit short unfortunately but I did all I could! I got a few new ideas talking about it with my dad and anyone I told about it gave me some ideas. It is not what I expected but I think it turned out alright. I guess we will see! :)

Issues Paper 3/4 of the way done!

I am almost done with my issues paper. It will be a relief to be finished! I have had a hard time with this assignment! I have had an especially hard time with the length. I usually do okay with length in papers if I am talking about something I like, so I thought this one would be the same since we got to choose our topic. I have enjoyed learning about my topic but I am still wondering if I would have had an easier time writing about something else. Right now I have 7 out of the 8 pages I need and have nothing else to write but I don't want to add a bunch of fluff! I want it to be good and show the work I have put into it. Hopefully I can think of some more things to write about so it sounds good.

Issues Paper beginnings

Finding a topic for a paper or project seems to be the hardest part. This one was particularly hard for me. I have a lot of interests, but I wanted to find something I truly have a passion for. I also had to make sure that it had to do with globalization. The day before my brainstorming of what to write about I had been talking to a friend about how bone structure and bodies differ in different countries or areas because of diet and surroundings. She is from Taiwan and was explaining the smallness of the Asian people. Nutrition intrigues me so I decided to base it around that. As I found that I needed to have some sort of argument I thought about humanitarian aid and how it can improve based on nutrition. I had a few ideas and brought it to my dad. He helped and came up with the idea of improving humanitarian aid by not just giving underprivileged countries food or water that will soon disappear once eaten or drunk, but rather teach them how to help themselves and make more of a lasting effect. Sustainable humanitarian aid is what we need. I decided to focus on that. It has taken me a while to get started and my thoughts in my rough draft are still very jumbled but I hope they will smooth themselves out as I continue to work.
