Pulling Questions

Why is Marijuana illegal? What aspect of the drug causes people to get addicted? Why is the drug dangerous to your health? What makes the drug so dangerous? What different types of chemicals make up the drug, if any? If the drug is so harmful why is it legal is other countries? Is there any possibility of the drug becoming legal in the U.S. in the future?

New Topic

I'm changing my research topic from the issue of civil rights to Marijuana. I'm interested in why Marijuana is illegal.
What aspects of the drug makes it dangerous and outlawed by society?
What aspect of the drug makes people get addicted to it?
What kind of chemicals make up the drug?
Why is it outlawed in the U.S. but legal in other countries?
It there a possibility of it becoming legal one day in the U.S.?

I wanted to change my topic to Marijuana because I believe I can research this topic a lot better. I'm also interested in what marijuana consists of and how it has made its mark on the world.

1-Civil Rights was a major issue in the 19th Century. How were minorities treated compared to whites during this time?
2-What started the whole transition of unequal rights dealing with each minority? What made whites feel superior to all other minorities?
3-This was a major problem of the 19th century because it involved the mistreatment of minorities regarding their right to life. Not only was their basic rights stripped from them but they were also isolated and seen as a race inferior to the whites.

Focused session

Research went very well today. Since the recent change in my topic I found a lot more information regarding how minorities were treated opposed to whites during the 19th century regarding civil rights. I found information on the civil rights movements of African Americans, Spanish Americans, and Native Americans. This information was very detailed with facts leading up to the cause of each revolution and the outcome each group achieved. Just from the fact that there were so many civil rights movements by different minority groups lets you know that civil rights during that time was a big problem. The unequal distribution of these rights led to some major reforms in which change needed.

"Change of Topic"
Physical: When I began searching for my information I went to the UNC library website and searched for information regarding minorities and their rights during the 19th century.

Affective: I feel great about the information I found because I think it will be vary helpful.

Cognitive: I feel as though there will be much more information that I can use regarding my new topic.
