Introduction!!! Research paper here we come!!

Welcome back!!! For this exercise I had to write 3 introduction paragraphs for my research paper, picking which one is the strongest. I never wrote 3 introductions for one paper because I always just went with the one that came out first. I think this is an excellent exercise because I tried to place my thesis statement in different parts of the paragraph so i could see where it fits best. I think the second paragraph fits best because I focus on everything I want to in the paper and it gives the audience a good strong into into what my research is on.

We also had to ask one of our friends or peers to see what they thought about the paragraph and a few question pertaining to the paper. :
1.) What do you think this paper is going to be about? Friends answer: Families with children depression due to lack of a healthy parental relationship.
2.) What might be its focus: friends answer: How children interact with their parents and how issues can be fixed.
 3.)Can you guess what the central question is that I am trying to answer? Friends Answer: Why do children develop mental and physical issues in a single family home.
4.)How would you characterize the tone of the paper? Friends Answer: Very informative, direct and focused.

1.) My children don't seem upset, so why should I worry? Many times in divorce the parents do not know that their kids might be fighting with many mental and/or physical issues. You have probably ofter heard that many times children think that the divorce is their fault, which can be a possibility, but not always. The child might not even know they are feeling depressed or maybe not even eating correctly, they are too young to notice signs of their own heath concerns. Parents also might not even know that their children are feeling a certain way because they know their parents are going through a rough time so they dont want to make matters worse. When children with non divorce parents, the kids might develop mental and physical issues due to the way their parents act around them, but scientifically the life of a child and their habits comes from the way their parents raise them; or whether or not they are still together. Based on the study of children with divorced parents, the evidence strongly suggests that children are developing mental and physical problems opposed to children of non-divorced parents.  

2.) Many adults can relate their life issues and the way they think back to their childhood.Based on the study of children with divorced parents, the evidence strongly suggests that children are developing mental and physical problems opposed to children of non-divorced parents.   If the child is from divorce parents they can develop many mental and physical issues. The mental issues can differ from depression or physical issues such as the body weight of a child. The child also might keep his/her feelings or thought from their parents due to they suffer from communication because they never saw their parent communicate properly, which caused a divorce. Divorce is mainly caused by the couple not putting positive energy into their relationship. If no positive energy goes into the relationship, it slowly goes down hill. When the child does not understand or have an example of how to cope with stress or how to properly deal with a conflict, the child may suffer in school and with other relationships.


3.) Based on the study of children with divorced parents, the evidence strongly suggests that children are developing mental and physical problems opposed to children of non-divorced parents. Children with non divorced parents mainly understand how to cope with difficult situations and understand how make decisions in tough trials. Non divorced parents show their kids that even when there is a conflict and they might argue they talk things though; this teaches the child how to communicate with others and have healthy relationships. Many children are unaware that they might be feeling depressed or not eating as much, resulting in an unhealthy habit. Children need other adults to talk to when their parents get divorced, even if it was a healthy divorce. Children will not communicate how they are truly feeling to their parents due to the fact that they are scared to make matters worse. Children do best when talking to another adults like counseling or someone at a local church. Parents many times think that their kids are emotionally stable without realizing it, which is normally the case.

  1. Of your three introductions, I like your first option best because it starts with an interesting question. As a parent, I'm already invested in knowing the answer to this questions. This introduction also effectively describes the significance of understanding how and why children of divorced parents are affected. Which introduction do you think you're going to use?
