Racism

The main question here that I ask of myself and of my readers is whether or not my research accurately portrays my assigned topic of racism. Have I given enough evidence and factual information to prove my claim and ultimately persuade my audience to believe as I do and take such action as I see fit? Well I suppose that would be up to you, the reader. However, according to me, I believe that I have done extensive research and read from many different readers, receiving very different points of view about such a controversial topic.

In doing my research I stepped out of the required 10 sources by my teacher and found many to be of great help, using only the most prominent ones for my paper. I used all of the databases available to students at my high school, however, did not include all of them in my final draft. I took advantage of the public library as well as the one at my school. I found the databases extra helpful, because all of the articles that are written in them are dated. They allowed me to see how views and opinions evolved throughout time. In molding my own view of the topic, I compared the past with the modern and had much interest to hear what professors from Conn College thought about racism and what I had to say. I found it was good to hear other points of view, from those who had also either done extensive research or know exactly what they are talking about from first hand experience.

I have found many people to be of help to me on my quest to acquire as much knowledge possible about racism. I have found many local references as well as references to the topic from other continents, such as Europe. I believe that by making global viewpoints cue in my research I have been able to get a worldwide perspective of the issue at hand.
Having acknowledged the opinions of many different people, I feel as if I have accurately portrayed the range of proximity of my topic. I feel that I have chosen the course of action that I see fit and possible to eliminate racism from our society and culture. I felt in doing my research that there were many books and opinions from a wide variety of people who wished to have their feelings known to the public. In reading those opinions I developed many of my own, which I will portray in my final paper. I do, however, still have much respect for the opinions of others, who I feel are equally as important as mine. Having said that, I do believe that my research was a success and I am pleased with my acquired knowledge about this interesting topic which I have become ever more passionate about. As a person who has done extensive research about this topic, I feel that I am qualified to make such an opinion that I believe should be respected by others, as I have respected theirs.
