                                               Research Thesis and Detailed Outline

Thesis:  Since it was first discovered, HIV/AIDS has left a lasting turmoil upon mankind. This disease has not only affected the people’s health, but has left a hole in their pocket, labeled them as outcasts in society, and forced them to receive backlash from media and religious places.

Body Paragraph #1: Introduce what HIV/AIDS is and how one can get this disease. I will describe the science behind how HIV/AIDS can attack a person’s body. 
Body Paragraph #2: Describe how society views or viewed people who has HIV/AIDS and what kind of treatment they receive. (use article “the Impacts of AIDS on People and Societies”, from this I will give a story of someone who has gone through the hardships of living with the disease in their community.)
Body Paragraph #3: Discuss the economic impact having HIV/AIDS can have on a person such as paying for treatments and how this leads to long term economic issues. (use article “Poverty and the Impact of AIDS on Older Persons: Evidence from Cambodia and Thailand”)
Body Paragraph #4 : Discuss the economic impact HIV/AIDS can have on a country, how their can be a decline in a country because HIV/AIDS requires a lot of research. (I will use the report “The Long-run Economic Costs of AIDS: Theory and an Application to South Africa”.) 
Body Paragraph #5: How media has portrayed HIV/AIDS through history, describe the negatives and positives of media towards the issue. (Two articles “Popular Media for HIV/AIDS Prevention? Comparing Two Comics: Kingo and the Sara Communication Initiative” and use the TIME article “The Photo That Changed the Face of AIDS”.)
Body Paragraph #6: This is a counterclaim paragraph that depicts the clash between the church and use of condoms in order to prevent HIV/AIDS. They believe praying will solve the disease. (will use article “Thirty years after AIDS discovery, appreciation growing for Catholic approach”).
Body Paragraph #7: Treatment currently available for HIV/AIDS and what kind of research is being done to find a cure.
Body Paragraph #8: Wrap up report and give precautions a person can take in order to protect themselves from getting this disease.
*  The remaining paragraphs are similarly structured and developed in meaningful manner: claim followed by evidence in parentheses.

Journal #6

Esmeralda Santa English 21003, Section M Professor  Matyakubova 18 September 2017 Journal #6                                                            A Second Chance for the Convicted             In both Michelle Jonas and Stanley Andrisse cases, they face difficulties continuing their  education after they are released from prison. The difficulties they face are unfair and unjust for a set  of people who want to change their lives for the better. The criminal justice system needs to help  people like them because they proved themselves to want to do better and actually make a  contribution to society. The system should help them by providing career programs in the prison, so  they can be well prepared once they leave the prison. Besides thi...

This article opened my eyes to the big mistakes many upcoming college students or  undergraduate students are making when it comes to choosing their major. Also the article discusses  the myths that many upcoming upcoming college students believe as they are about to enter school.  The myth that surprised me the most  was “choice of major matters more than choice of  college”( nytimes.com ). This myth can be related to myself because I also focused more on choosing  my major than ...
