Reflection Questions

Learning how to perform research is important because this skill will help you in both your academic and professional life. It helps to improve your power of critical thinking and it assists you in gathering information for yourself.

One of the most challenging tasks that I faced during this research was time management how much time would be consumed to gather information from different sources. Then, I have to carefully analyze different sources to determine whether they give appropriate information as needed and to determine their credibility. It was also very time-consuming ton read out all sources to collect information useful for my essay. I thought that this research would take only one to two hours but this research has taken almost six to seven hours to end it up.. Now, I have realized that if you want to carry out research work, merely a quick web search would not be enough; you will have to carefully read all the information about the topic, and then relevant information is extracted.

A working thesis statement is a stated answer to the question asked in research. It should clearly show a debatable topic and participate in the position of one side.

A working thesis statement is one sentence that gives a relevant and debatable topic. Moreover, I have tried to keep it precise and eye-catching. Instead of saying that early abortion is wrong or right, I have stated that it is morally wrong to have an abortion or a fundamental right of a mother. I have tried to explain that it is a major issue in all countries because some think it should be allowed, and most of society is totally against it without considering the mental and physical health of a mother.

A detailed outline is an effective tool for laying out the progression of an argument. It allows you to consider the arrangement and organization of your ideas, as well as choose places to incorporate outside source materials.

In a detailed outline, I have justified that if it is considered that abortion is morally wrong, then it does not mean that a woman can’t have an abortion even if her life is in danger. So when there is a danger to a mother or the developing fetus, then in such cases, abortion is allowed.

On the other hand, if it is considered that abortion is a fundamental right of a mother, then it does not conclude that a woman must undergo an unnecessary abortion. Abortion can be considered as a right if it is an unwanted pregnancy due to rape or due to poverty and due to financial issues. But in such a situation, early abortion is the best option because, in such a situation, a fetus is not alive.

The same topic will be used in three of the remaining touchstones in this course. What kind of feedback would be helpful for you?

I assure you that the information that I have provided in my research work is reliable, but I want to know about the structure of the essay that would be based upon it. My outlines would be very clear to most of the people of society because my research topic is a very common and sensational topic of society. Moreover, I have tried my level best to follow APA format, I would be pleased if you give me some more guidelines on it as I m not as familiar with it as you are.
