Exercise 1.5

1. What is the relationship between eating disorders and genetics?

2. A.What are the differences between anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa?
    B. Do members of the same family suffer from the same eating disorders all of the time?
    C. Can children of parents with eating disorders not have them?
   
I believe that genetics is not a factor in eating disorders. I believe that where you live and your surroundings play a factor, however genes do not. While family members may suffer from the same eating disorders, it is not related to genetics, but the surroundings in which the members are in.

3. All that I am bringing to this project are questions and inquiry's. I tried to think of a subject that I knew the least about. My cousin suffered from an eating disorder, however she received help and now is completely okay. I was thinking that this is a good way to know how to help people with these disorders. I also think that it's good to know about things that are affecting many people today.

Exercise #1

I believe that you really shouldn't use experience and observations in a research paper. It doesn't seem like the kind of thing that a teacher would say. They just want facts and logic and data. That may be because everything that I have written in a research paper has been something that I do not care about. I remember having to write one about the symbols in to kill a mockingbird. It was the worst 7 pages of my life. I do agree that you should know your thesis before you start. You need to know what you are trying to argue/write about. If you do not have a good thesis, your support will not fit in correctly. I think there is logic in what I say because it's what my high school teachers taught on how to write research papers.

I think that there is a big difference between facts and opinions. On the one hand, you can gather data and answer cumulative questions with facts and opinions are based on thought and have merit to the people who did the thinking and people who agree. Facts have a place in research papers that opinions never will. If I say a statement like the shark is grey, that is a fact. If I say that grey is the best color, then that is an opinion and it's something that can be disagreed with. Facts are types of information that are basically like laws in science. They are proven to be true one hundred percent of the time no matter what. People can have billions of opinions but that doesn't mean that any of them are true or solid information.
