What is the title and introduction of the project?,
What is the problem statement and significance of the study?,
What is the research design and data collection plan?,
What are the timeline, literature review, data analysis, and resources required?

General Comprehensive Answer

A research proposal is a structured plan that lays out what you want to study, why it matters, and how you intend to carry out the study. Its purpose is to provide clarity, direction, and justification for undertaking the research.

First, every proposal begins with a clear explanation of what the researcher wants to do, the reasons for choosing this topic, and a practical outline of how the study will be conducted. This includes identifying the research question or hypothesis and situating the topic within existing knowledge.

The title and introduction play an important role by presenting the project in a memorable, professional way while also providing background context. A strong introduction explains the scope of the issue and frames the study in relation to broader academic or real-world problems.

The problem statement and significance section highlights the core issue that the research will address. Here, the researcher outlines objectives, defines the purpose, and explains how the project will add to existing knowledge. The emphasis is on showing the importance of the research and justifying its contribution.

In terms of research design and data collection, the proposal must specify the methodology to be used, why it is suitable, and how participants or data will be selected. The plan must align with the research objectives and be described in the future tense, since it reflects what the researcher intends to do.

A timeline is also required, laying out the start and end dates of the project as well as its major phases in chronological order. Alongside this, the literature review demonstrates familiarity with prior scholarship. It synthesizes what is known, identifies gaps, and positions the study in relation to previous findings.

Data analysis focuses on how the researcher will handle the information gathered. This could involve recording, transcribing, coding, or identifying themes, either manually or with digital software. The researcher should explain why a particular method is chosen and allow time to learn necessary tools.

Finally, resources required must be identified. This includes people, services, equipment, software, and even logistical needs such as travel or transcription. Recognizing these needs ahead of time ensures the project is realistic and feasible.

Overall, a strong research proposal is both a roadmap and a justification for a study. It demonstrates careful planning, situates the work in academic discourse, and shows that the project is worthwhile and achievable.

Activism and Agency

By Academic Wizard Blog

Activism and Agency

pare papers (they said X and they said y). They are argumentative persuasive essays. You must make an original argument by juxtaposing weekly themes together. You don’t have to compare themes equally; you can prioritize one and use it to discuss the other theme, but the art and skill of writing requires deep analysis and argumentation logic that weaves things together. college-level writing takes practice. Theme 1: racism, sexualiTY, internationalism racism, sexualiTY, internationalism Use the reading “queering the color line within the color” Use lecture slides “lecture week 6 on japan” Theme 2: Palestine, activism, geopolitics Use the reading “spirit in opposition” Use lecture slides “week 8 on palestine” Theme 3: coloniality, authoritarianism, aesthetics Use the reading “Enmeshment aesthetics” Use lecture slides “week 9 on coloniality”

● USE QUOTES FROM THE 3 FILES OF THE READINGS THAT I ATTACHED. ● REFER BACK TO THE LECTURE SLIDES AND USE IDEAS FROM THERE Activism and Agency

Lowering the Drinking Age Debate

By Academic Wizard Blog

Lowering the Drinking Age Debate

Should the alcohol drinking age be lowered from 21 to 18? Yes or no? Why?

A) has to be 3 – 4 pages long

B) It has to be double-spaced and one-inch margins on all sides

C) It has to be typed in Times New Roman Font (12)

D) Written in MLA format and it must contain a separate Works Cited page. Needs to have at least 4 citations from 4 different reputable sources.

E) No Wikipedia is allowed.

F) You must provide statistical and/or specific current or historical events or facts to augment your thesis.

Lowering the Drinking Age Debate

Questions:

Should the alcohol drinking age be lowered from 21 to 18?,
What are the key arguments supporting lowering the drinking age?,
What are the main arguments against lowering the drinking age?,
What statistical or historical evidence informs this debate?,
What conclusion best supports the thesis based on evidence?

Answer (Comprehensive, General):

The debate over whether the legal drinking age should be lowered from 21 to 18 is one of the most persistent policy discussions in the United States. Supporters argue that 18-year-olds, as legal adults, should have the right to make decisions about alcohol, while opponents emphasize health and safety concerns tied to underage drinking. Evaluating this question requires an analysis of both perspectives, alongside historical context, statistical data, and global comparisons.

Arguments Supporting Lowering the Drinking Age

One of the strongest arguments for lowering the drinking age is that 18 is the age of legal adulthood in the U.S. At 18, individuals can vote, enlist in the military, sign contracts, marry, and be tried as adults in court. Denying the right to consume alcohol appears inconsistent with the recognition of adult responsibilities. Proponents argue that lowering the age to 18 would align drinking laws with broader legal rights.

Another rationale is that the current age restriction encourages unsafe and secretive drinking behaviors among young people. Studies indicate that many college students under 21 drink heavily in unsupervised environments, contributing to higher risks of alcohol poisoning and reckless behavior. Allowing legal access at 18 could normalize alcohol consumption, promoting moderation and responsible habits.

International examples also strengthen this argument. Most European countries set their legal drinking age at 18 or lower, yet they generally experience fewer alcohol-related deaths per capita compared to the United States. This suggests that cultural norms and education, rather than age limits, may be more effective in reducing harmful drinking patterns.Lowering the Drinking Age Debate

Decolonizing Education

By Academic Wizard Blog

Decolonizing Education

Prompt: What does the debate over California’s ethnic studies curriculum reveal about how the United States decides whose knowledge is included or excluded in education, and how might this compare to global efforts, such as Australia’s push to “indigenise the curriculum,” to challenge Eurocentrism and promote the decolonization of education?

Background: California became the first state to require ethnic studies for high school graduation, aiming to challenge Eurocentric curricula and bring in voices and histories often excluded from traditional education. While many support ethnic studies as a step toward the decolonization of education, critics have raised concerns about its content and implementation. This controversy reflects wider struggles over how education systems determine what knowledge counts. A similar debate is unfolding in Australia, where the University of Sydney has begun a major initiative to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge across its curriculum, sparking both enthusiasm and criticism.

Guidelines: This essay should be 1200 words, double spaced, using 12-point font. This does not include your page of references. You must cite BOTH sources from class as well as outside sources. Outside sources can be academic or news related but must come from reputable sites. Include in-text citations as well as a reference cited page at the end of your essay using either Chicago or MLA style, but please choose one and be consistent. You should have 6-10 sources in total. Remember that citations are required for both paraphrasing and direct quotes from either texts or lecture (please keep direct quotes to one sentence). Please pay careful attention to spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Decolonizing Education

No use of AI is permitted. Use of AI will result in an automatic fail for the assignment. The goal of this assignment is for you to develop and use your own voice in response to this prompt.
