Soccers interest in the US

Beckham experiment begins By: David Leon Moore. USA Today, 07/16/2007; (AN J0E122789597907)

This article is about how soccer legend David Beckham made his way to the MLS. MLS stands for major league soccer, even though many people don't know that. It talks about how this was a huge joke to much of the soccer world, simply because of the lack of interest for soccer in the US.

research topics

My first choice for a research topic is going to be eating disorders. Our economy today is based so much on what other people are doing. There are many people who know more about their favorite celebrity then some of their actual friends. So then when some of the Hollywood stars develop an eating disorder other people feel like they have to also. The media is ruining this up coming generation of younger kids. Every celebrity is always seen as what his or her body looks like. Skimpier clothes and a lot of makeup seem to be the new trend. And now with a lot of Hollywood stars getting eating disorders to make themselves look better everybody feels like they should do the same. They look into the mirror and become a judge of themselves and they only look for anything that is bad. We need to somehow educate everyone to see all of the good things inside of them, not critique the outsides. There is no perfect body; God gave you what you have and you have to be happy with it. The only way to change anything is to eat healthily and exercise. Which both work if done properly.

Another choice for my research paper is soccer. If you were to go to every country in the world and ask them when their favorite or most popular sport is you would get almost one answer throughout the world. Except in one country, and that would be the good old USA. If you were to go up the average American and ask them what the most popular sport in the world is you would get a few answers. To most their first answer would be most likely American football. But actually in the United States the most popular sport is actually NASCAR. After those two answers the next would be either basketball or baseball. In a lot of the US, soccer is seen as a so called easy or non-difficult sport. But most people who say that have never been to a game, other than out of the YMCA league. There are no timeouts, or stoppage of play. The clock runs the entire time, with one halftime through the 90 minute game. Even if someone gets hurt and is lying on the field the clock doesn't stop. The referee will make a judgment call at the end of the game and add on a certain amount of stoppage time and tack it onto the second half of the game, so most games end up being about 94 minutes long. I just want everyone to be educated on the sport before they rule it out as uninteresting.

My final idea for a research paper is the way college major and general education classes are set up. Say that you are going into college as an art major. You are very good at it and are ready to do it for the rest of your life. Then you are told that you have to take a bunch of general education classes so that you can graduate. They make you take a couple History, Math, English, and other classes. Although it does make sense in a way to make everyone take them, some people are very bad at some subjects. Right now I'm a marketing major, but before I can take a single marketing class I need to take a bunch of accounting and economics classes first. I am not very good at either of them, and they will not help me at all with my actual major. So I am stuck taking a bunch of classes that aren't interesting and are very hard. I feel like a lot of people get discouraged about college because of this and end up dropping out or at least changing different major. There should definitely be some courses that everyone has to take, but there shouldn’t be so many.

preface

So... the English of research can be confusing to some people. Well actually me for one. So when it comes to this, I say we get to make up our own definitions and examples. For one you could say that the English of research could be the outline that you put it into. Being that if you have no organization you will be lost by the time you have to do something with all of your research. Or you could even say that it means that you strictly only look at things in the English language. That one may be a stretch but since no one ever talked about it before, who’s to say I’m wrong. Creating your own blog is like being an emperor, you make the rules and if no one likes it then they get the consequences. The problem here is that there aren’t any consequences. So in a sense you can just put in what you feel. I personally feel that the English of research is one of the leading causes of global warming. People read about it here. Get angry, and their ears turn red, and then that heats up the temperature of the world ever so slightly. So in a way peoples arrogance is causing global warming. And that is going to kill us someday!
