What should my research topic be?

  I am stumped once again.  I don’t know what I want to do for my research topic, and not even one thing comes to mind.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks!

Its all about the Myspace.

  So as young teenage kids begin to explore the world, they find things a long the way that can help express themselves.  For instance My-space.  They can post their favorite picture, play their favorite song and even have the coolest background that best represents who they are.  But is this really who they are as a person.  I am no one to judge my-space, I will admit I have an account but in all honesty I am not all that interested.  I find myself just liking that I can have a glimpse on what people are doing with their life.  For instance the ex-boyfriend, or maybe even his new girlfriend that you can sit and stare at until your face turns blue contemplating whether or not she is prettier than you.  Or even to just be noisy on someone else that you don’t know.  We all want to know what we don’t know.  I think that the pictures the people put on their my-space represent themselves well.  I mean you have the people that show off how skinny they are or how big there abs are, or what sexy face they can pose next.  But you also have the simple who have just a simple picture of themselves trying to look their best, or have an icon so you don’t know who they are at all.  Or even better, block you from seeing past their picture.  The people, including myself post these things just to say here I am see what I am all about and tell me what you think.  Insecure?  Maybe.  But I think its just knowing that you might think your better than the next person who comes along to look at your my-space and that makes you feel ten times better.  I plead guilty!

Is It a sloppy website?

   Today  in class we discussed what websites would be good to use when looking up research.  We came up with many ideas, but how do you know if the website is a 100% with there accusations; the facts the show in the paragraph.  This is a list of things that would represent it is a sloppy site:

1. First the author; do we know who wrote it. Was it a fourth grader or was it a 4 year college student for example.

2.  Who is the publisher?

3.  What does the website look like?

                    *is there any spelling or graphic errors?

4. Does it have a date?  How long ago was this information processed.

So when you are out there doing your research, this is a list of four things that will help you decide if it is a sloppy site.
