Research Question : Should the American educational system follow Finland’s educational system? Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore, 2015 In the documentary Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore visited the Western countries to take the things the Americans need from them and bring them to United States of America and convince fellow Americans. Through his journey, we found out how America is different from the world. Among the facts he provided, he persuaded his viewers why America should follow Finaland’s educational system by interviewing the teachers, principals from Finland. He mentioned that kids in Finland are ahead from the rest of the world, which is why, they have more recess time that means they have more time to enjoy being kids, and to do other things. Finland has the shortest school days and years, but still their students are ahead. We got our research topic developed from this documentary. Thus why, this is the primary source for my research question. Effects of Stress on Brain Development, Better Brains for Babies, 2017, http://bbbgeorgia.org/stressEffects.php In that website, it showed how the stress interfere the brain development and physical growth. As cortisol (a stress hormone that is released to help our bodies deal with threats) is produced during stress response (the heightened state of arousal that our body goes through when it perceives a threat). It can damage the developing brain and negatively affect the immune system. Due to the standardized tests, students suffer the stress, which slower the brain development and physical growth. It can be useful when I prove the negative effects of standardized test.

10) Where to Invade Next? An Argument. [Categories: Where to Invade Next, Research Paper]: Please complete the following:
In this post, I am going to choose three topics from the documentary, Where to Invade Next to represent my arguments and create the research question for each question. To know more information about the documentary, please check the Summary of Where to Invade Next.
Topic: School Cafeteria in America. Research: Should America provide more nutritious and healthy food for its school? Argument: America should take care more about the nutrition and diet for the school cafeteria because students are important for its country. School cafeteria directly deals with not only the health of children but also the knowledge of how to eat to be healthy. Once they get practice from school cafeteria, they can maintain the good habit of eating. Topic: No homework education system Research: Should American schools give any homework and less school hours to its students? Argument: American schools should not give homework lower the school hours to its students. The reason is that they can enjoy their time as kids, children to their families not students for their school. Giving homework is like blocking the curiosity of children. If schools give so much homework, students have to spend their time doing them at home. They can’t go outside and play with other kids. They can’t discuss other things with their parents. The result is that their brains cannot develop as much as they can. Giving homework is like blocking the curiosity of children. Topic: Death Penalty Research Question: Should American continue the death penalty? Argument: I believe it is the right thing for the people who deserve. Everyone only get one life to live with their beloved ones. If someone is killed and died, he cannot be alive and enjoy his life anymore as he wanted. It is really unfair for the one who was killed if we release the killer who may be enjoying his life like nothing happened. Or, he may kill people again if he is released from his sentence. The surrounding people will not feel safe if they know the serial killers are still out there. We cannot take back our lives once they are gone. Thus, we should respect other person’s one and only life like we value ours. |
