Research Proposal for Arguement Essay

For my topic i have decided to write on gun control. I do not think there should be regulations on what guns you can and cant buy. Three reasons for my side is you have the freedom to do and buy anything and you should not have to be told what you cant buy. They are not illegal and as long as you know who buys the gun it should not matter. If someone wants to buy a gun for the wrong reason they will find a way to get that gun. Some reasons on the other side is that it might help reduce crime. Help keep track of guns. Helps the police do there job without fear for their life. Whenever things become illegal people like to rebel and do what is wrong, if they are not illegal people tend to not be as hasty to get it. If guns would not be illegal they would not be bought as much and not used in crimes reducing the crime rate.

Field Research

1. What are the effects of steroids?
  • Skin rashes, body acne, hair growth, mood swings, cancer, death.
2. How often do people have to be admitted because they are addicted to the drug?
  • If they think that they are addicted they will come in to go through treatment but over 90%of people usually do nothing.
3. Why would someone take steroids?
  • To increase their athletic ability in order to increase their wealth. Also many people take them to gain a better body physique and to gain strength.
4. Is their other natural and non illegal ways to end up with the same outcome?
  • No. You can take protein and creatine and other stimulants to help with muscle growth but they do not have the same effects as steroids.

Brainstorming for the Application Project

  • A steroid user in baseball
  • A drug user and how it affects my family
  • A person running for president
  • The decisions that cops have to make
  • Abortion either side
