Thesis statement: Through the pressure of success, peers, social and education upbringing, and the wonder of technological use, many students have made cheating acceptable, but schools are finally constructing rules to punish and reward those within or out of academic honesty.
Topic sentence 1: When it comes to cheating, it seems as though every callibur of student has cheated at least once within his or her educational career.
Transition 1: While the act of cheating has become a daily event, the cheaters are not the only culprits within this troublesome habbit.
Topic sentence 2: It is to be presumed that the cheaters themselves should be blamed for their actions but the lack of parental and teacher guidance has given them a helping hand.
Transition 2: As the cheating is taking its toll and society seems not to care, colleges across america are finally starting to take action.
Topic sentence 3: Colleges across the nation are starting to provide students with strict codes of conduct towards cheating and their repercussions.
Transition 3: As colleges keep on succeeding with the academic honesty policy, many schools still do not have an efficient way of punishing or rewarding students actions towards other educational policies.
Conclusion: Many aspects of life have contributed towards the steady need for students to cheat. Thought the pressure of exams and the pressure to succeed constantly dwell upon a student's mind, there is still no accurate consenses as to how many students have actually cheated in their lifetime. As a society, all students, teachers, parents, and school districts need to work together in order to subsidize such an unrewarding habbit.
TOPICS WORTH ARGUING ABOUT...
1) Should marching band be counted as a 1/2 physical education credit?
- In my opinion, no.
A lot of high schools have football, baseball, and basketball teams, etc etc and they don't receive a half credit for gym.
While marching band is a physical activity, the type of games played in a gym class are tennis, basketball, soccer,etc,etc.....nooot marching steps!
A lot of students do marching band for a year just so they only have to take the 1/2 credit of gym. So i guess the band won't do as well, or such students will be waisting their time cause marching band IS very time - consuming.
2) Is scientology an ethical religion?
- In my opinion, no.
Many would believe that scientology is not a religion hence its based upon birth from aliens or somethine else.
I guess there is no physical evidence of such a religion
Certain media prospects have hindered our ideas towards scientology.
3) Should cell phone use be illegal while operating a vehicle?
- in my opinion, yes.
Many fatal accidents have occurred from cell phone use while driving.
like drinking, cell phone use impairs your judgement while driving.
4) should senior citizens take another road test once at a certain age?
- in my opinion, yes.
Not very important, but logical, most drive very slowly causing many drivers to perform dangerous maneuvers to get around the driver.
reflexes are definitely not as quick
Eyesight not as kean
The dangers of driving at night.

i loved the three topics you choose, i could argue about them all day. is scientology an ethical religion, i don't think it is anyones business to say if it is or if it isn't. it all depends on the individuals morals and values. you for example probably feel that your religion is the best and most pure, why shouldn't you, but islamic extremists feel that you are an infidel and deserve to die for your beliefs. who's right? obviously i think we are, but, it still applies to your question. is scientology an ethical religion, i think this topic is to broad and would be much bigger than what we are going to write.
I have to agree with the comments concerning choosing scientology, although it is a very interesting topic. The marching band idea is also very broad, but #3 is much more manageable.
Hi!
I'm SO sorry it took me so long to respond. I could NOT get myself logged into my blog after Thursday night for some reason. I love all your research topics. It sounds like you are very passionate about the marching band topic, but you have very good arguments to back up all 3 topics.
I'm sure your research paper will be great, hopefully I get to peer edit it for you!
see you in choir to work on "Hope Carol" forever and ever.... I am REALLY sick of "oohing" and "ahhing" haha.
