How to narrowed the topic on children and technology
dsp73

It is natural to stand at the beginning of a research project and feel overwhelmed by the amount of published research that exists in databases, literature reviews, and reference pages. At the same time, each new research project brings the hope of discovering something new. Overwhelming though a project may be, starting at the foothills of a new thread of research is a great privilege, and is best approached as an opportunity to learn rather than a drudgery. As a researcher/writer, you have the chance to dive more deeply into less frequently encountered pools of knowledge.

Depending on the topic or scope of your research, it is also natural to spend many days and weeks - and in some cases months and years - searching. No matter how great or small the scope of research is, the serious researcher needs to reserve adequate time to perform a thorough survey of published articles. For an undergraduate course project, finding five or six sources might seem like plenty of material to review, but graduate-level writing projects typically involve up to 20 sources minimum.

Please note that the main point here is not to say that it is only the number of research articles matters most, but rather that having a broad spectrum of papers to choose from helps you choose your topic for at least the following two reasons: 1) a larger pool of sources provides you with a broader perspective of the topics within your scope of research and 2) along the way you will find many topics within your field that you DO NOT want to write about! So, one particularly effective way of viewing research is not finding the absolute minimum sources to "get by", but rather to find a variety of sources that you can use...like an artist uses negative space to "carve" shapes out of a dark background...to guide you toward topics that are more directly relevant to your topic.

The good news is that as you research you may find that some of your sources that were published in the same decade or so will cite and reference each other.

One of the joys and privileges of research is being able to follow your curiosity; if you are truly curious about your topic, and authentically driven to find out as much as you can, then even the articles you don't find interesting will be useful for a future project, and no energy will be wasted.

When selecting a person for a job, what do Lilliputians consider more important than ability?
faust18 [17]

The Lilliputians are the first people that Gulliver visits when he begins his travels. The Lilliputians have a system of government in which they do not appoint the most intelligent, or capable, person to a particular job. Instead, they appoint the person who can better perform rope dancing. This rope dancing is dangerous, as the ropes are a foot high (very high for the tiny Lilliputians). This satire exemplifies the way the government of England is not always ruled by clever people either, but only by those who do the most to impress the people in positions of power.

Can man or adjust Mars environment to make it more suitable for human habitation?How?​
andrey2020 [161]
Answer:
Reduce the amount of CO2 in the air. ...
Increase the planetary temperature. ...
Make the planet breathable. ...
Construct plants for generating super-greenhouse gases made of complex combinations of carbon,chlorine and flourine. To successfully make Mars Earth-like, we would need to raise temperatures, have water stably remain in liquid form and thicken the atmosphere. ... The only greenhouse gas on the Red Planet that's abundant enough to provide significant warming is carbon dioxide (CO2), they noted. Man cannot alter the environment in Mars to make it more suitable for human habitation. It is virtually and logistically impossible to do so for various reasons. For this to work, you need massive changes in the environment which is not possible with what we have today. Transforming Mars into a life-friendly world doesn't have to be a herculean planet-wide effort. Humanity could make patches of the Red Planet habitable relatively cheaply and efficiently by placing thin layers of silica aerogel on or above the Martian surface, a new study suggests. Proponents of terraforming Mars propose releasing gases from a variety of sources on the Red Planet to thicken the atmosphere and increase the temperature to the point where liquid water is stable on the surface. These gases are called “greenhouse gases” for their ability to trap heat and warm the climate. Scientists have considered placing Mylar disks, with a diameter of 155 miles and a weight of 200,000 tons, to reflect sunlight onto Mars and heat the surface. The idea is that over many years, the rise in temperature would release greenhouse gasses.

Refer to your Expeditions in Reading book for a complete version of this text.
Aleks04 [339]

The main idea of the biography is that Dorothy deserves credit as a pioneer for her accomplishments at NASA. The sentence that confirms this is:

“…Vaughan was both a respected mathematician and NASA's first African-American manager.”

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Dorothy Vaughan's biography wants to show why she was a scientist and someone so important to American society.
  • In addition to having contributed a lot to the work of NASA, Vaughan was a pioneer in that institution.
  • That's because, NASA was an institution dominated by white people, who had more access to higher education and administrative positions.
  • However, Dorothy Vaughan became the first African-American manager that NASA had, in addition to being one of the first women to occupy this position, which makes her a pioneer.

As the central idea of a text is the main subject that the text intends to address, we can affirm that Dorothy Vaughan's pioneering spirit is the central idea of her biography.
