I have to admit, I have always hated
doing bibliographies. As much as I know it is extremely important to
cite, and acknowledge the hard work of those you are referencing in
your academic papers, it also always feels like an all expense paid
trip to the dentists. The anointed bibliographies is the bonus round
of suck. I think it is because, despite how many times I do either, I
seem to frequently forget the required format. Outside of my
pointless complaining on the subject, I did enjoy reviewing some of
the information while preparing the anointed bibliography
1)
Are there still aspects of your research question that remain
unanswered or that you feel requires further research?
A)
The question that still remains the most prominent in my mind, after
so much research, is why do we, as a nation, continue to pretend
these studies simply do not exist? Time, and time again, I have come
across papers, by various researchers, sociologist, psychologist, and
psychiatrist, explaining what is best for the fundamental development
of our young people, but politicians seem to pretty much ignore this.
They on, and on, about helping the American family but it is all just
lip service.
2) What are some aspects of your research that you feel would be most interesting to a wide audience?
A) I think most readers would find the results of these studies, concerning youths, crime and the court systems, to be the most fascinating of the paper. If written in a more digestible, less profession vernacular, then people would be able to fully comprehend the magnitude of this problem. It is not about race, religion, or economic status, as much as it is about securing the future of our country by helping youths reach their full potential now.
