I am studying vaccinations because I want to find out why there is an anti-vaccination movement and what scientific evidence lead people to be an activist in that community in order to help my reader understand how it affects them and what they are able to do to get a better understanding of the topic.

In terms of your audience, are you really writing to anti-vaccers? Or are you writing to those in the medical community, to let them know how they might more effectively communicate with anti-vaccers? Or are you writing to politicians, to let them know the importance of passing legislation to counter the rising anti-vac movement? Those are two really different papers! And they require different research (one into the anti-vax movement itself–what it says, and why it distrusts science, the other into the history of politics and medicine, showing other occasions in which the government has forced vax and medical procedures).

While question 7 offers a more specific argument than question 6, I think you need to reflect on the purpose of your paper a bit more–what change do you hope to make in the world.

I am studying the election results because i am trying to understand what happened in order to help my reader understand how to win the presidency next time.

I am studying The fall of Donald Trump because I want to find out which steps caused him to fail, In order to help my reader understand how we can avoid a loss again in four years.

In both cases, I think you can be a bit more specific.
I am studying Trump’s performance in the three presidential debates because I want to demonstrate how he failed to articulate policy, missed opportunities to undermine Clinton, and came off like a creepy stalker in order to show how, with better training and focus, Trump might have won the White house.

I am studying news coverage of the Republican primaries to understand how the party nominated such an unlikeable candidate in order to prevent the party from making the same mistake in 2020.

I am exploring raves to show that they are more than just kids taking drugs and listening to loud music because I want to argue that there are productive and valuable dimensions to electronic music culture. I have identified two primary valuable dimensions X and Y. Of course, this isn’t to say that there aren’t issues with drugs in raves. However, mainstream media exaggerates/focuses on drug issues and utterly ignores the other, more positive, dimensions.

I am studding what players have to mentaly do to improve because I want to find out how they progress from not knowing much about the game to being a seasoned gamer, in order to help my reader understand how to be better at the game and progress.

The quality of this paper will be directly tied to the depth and quality of the research you do. You really need to find a variety of other player guides so that you can craft a compare/contrast guide.
I also think, because you are playing a MOBA, that you might want to develop a section that addresses MOBA’s biggest issue–the perceived jerkiness of the players. Beyond gameplay, what can new players do to ensure a positive social experience that makes them want to stick around and play. This means doing some research to show that this is a perceived problem, and looking into things other people and the LoL developers themselves recommend for addressing it.

Homework

This week is the last weekly report writing. I want you to be strategic. No matter what you read this week, make sure it is something that will show up in your final paper. I have office hours today (1:00-2:00), Wednesday (1:15-3:00), and Thursday (12:00-2:00). I will not be on campus Tuesday because I am giving a presentation and then have to vote.
