Im supposed to be doing an investigation on a topic in history it can range from prehistory to the present, im stuck of what to do. i have an idea, How religion influenced the rise of civilization. however my professor mentioned that the topic was too broad. and at the moment i cant seem to find any useful information on the topic and how to narrow it down. SO if anyone has any great ideas for a paper, please let me know or any suggestions to for the topic which i mention that will be great also.
Whats a good research paper topic for a upper divison college course in history?
Yeah, that one is waay too broad. Actually, you can still do that topic, but you've got to narrow it down. You could do something like How did the rise of Christianity change the empire of Rome as an example. You've got to pick a certain time period and a certain group, so that way you can actually get a good, specific paper.
Reply:If you want to do something about religion in history how about doing something on:
Ancient Egyptian Religion(s) - how it influenced them and their power (if at all)
The Crusades
Reply:United States Involvemt in Pan American Conflicts During the Cold War
Reply:1. Go to: "Research your answer" on your question page. 2. Type in: Religion/Civilazation/2000-2008/Informat... 3. Go to: "Aztec religion--Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia," the first page of topic headings.

What constitutes a research paper source?
Okay, well, I've got some sources for a paper, but in order to claim them as sources I do have to actually use a quote from them right? I can't just put them in my works cited and claim them as a source.
Reason I ask more specifically is because my English teacher requires 6 sources, but I'm not sure I can actually find 6 sources to quote.
What constitutes a research paper source?
It doesn't have to be a book, you can use the internet, a person, an article from the newspaper, a magazine, I bet you can come up with 6 if you branch out a little bit. Your teacher would like to know where you found that info and how it pertains to your work. Endless quotes that are not connected to what you are saying are not going to impress. Surf the net and find some of your sources there too.
Reply:Not if you aren't going to use them as a source for your paper. Otherwise it doesn't make sense. Sources are anything that you use to put in your paper. Now if you have the source and you do the research and find it doesn't work for the paper, then don't include it in the works cited. But if you quote from a website or a newspaper, you can do a seperate sheet from the Bibliography, to be sure and tell the teacher where you got that information from. And also make sure that the website is updated, because you may have pulled your source but it might have been updated since then.
Reply:NO you do not have directly quote the source. As long as the source help you gather information about your topic which helped you right your paper
And also try
www.ezbib.com for your works cited page good luck
Reply:yeah, i think if your techer wants proof from online sources or even books, you put a quote. if its(the quote)from a book, dont forget to put the page number.
A works cited is a bibliography.
If you just need to include just your sorces, do a bibliography.
If you're not sure which,(to do a bibliography or just do quotes) ask your teacher.
Reply:Yes you have to actually quote them in your paper. That is what makes works cited different than a bibliography.
Reply:No you don't have to actually include a work to use it as a source. If you used any of the ideas in a work then it is considered a source.
Reply:I would say A source would be anywhere you get A fact from. If I new what the paper was about I might be able to help find A source.
Reply:A source is any written material from which you gathered data to create your paper. It does not have to be a quote, just a source of information for your paper.

How, after a quote in a research paper, would I cite something from a book of short stories?
In the paper, how do I cite a quote that is from a short story from a book of short stories?
Example:
(Smith 24) would be a normal citation..
The book of short stories is composed by someone other than the author (all the stories share the same author). I want to cite what the actual author, Ambrose Bierce, says in one of his stories.. I can't really go by page number, can I? It is many stories in one book, that is composed by Edward Wagenknecht.
So, do I still say:
(Bierce 95) ?
Thanks.

Reply:yes, you would do that.

Can someone help me with my research paper?
I need a good introduction for my research report on rust. I can't think of anything to write. My whole report is on how rust forms and what rust is. I also need a conclusion for my report. If anyone can help me please do.
Can someone help me with my research paper?
Well, I am not going to do you homework for you. Since I don't have access to your outline, or to the body of your paper, I will make these general suggestions:
1. The introduction tells the reader what you are going to do in the rest of your paper. Explain the basis of the paper, you should also have thesis statement- what point(s) about rust are you going to make?
2. The conclusion should be a summary. Restate your thesis and then list the points you made regarding rust in your paper. You should summarize and conclude with a statement regarding your thesis statement.
That's very vague, but it's the best I can do without seeing your paper and doing your homework for you.
Reply:Think of an attention grabber to start the paper. Maybe you can compare rust to hungry mice who nibble away at metal until it is full of holes.

What are 3 or 4 good main points for the Salem Witch Trials to put in my research paper?
I can think of like, 1 or 2. But there really isn't much too it, I need a bit of help. I don't want many details, but as long as it's a point that has details so I can research it. Keep your rude childish comments to yourself please :) and thanks!
What are 3 or 4 good main points for the Salem Witch Trials to put in my research paper?
Read the books "the crucible" and "witch child" if you haven't done so already, they are both centered around the Salem witch trials if you have already read them then put this as an additional comment on your question and then i will see if i can help you further.
Good luck.
Reply:there is also a book just recently published titled " The Witch Trial Judge " in which the Judge's papers are accessed to bring new information to light. Although I have not seen or read this book this might be of some assistance to your project.
Reply:The Salem Witch Trials were a case of mass hysteria. It began when the daughters of a minister were playing with a family slave--they were playing a game where you crack an egg and put it into a bowl water to try to predict who your future husband will be. Suddenly, they went into hysterics and claimed that they had been bewitched. At the time, it was believed that children were not capable of lying (yeah, right), so what they said was taken as gospel. They accused person after person of being witches, and there was no such thing then as being innocent until proven guilty--you had to prove you weren't a witch--how do you prove a negative? When the defendants would come into the court, the girls would moan and convulse on the floor as if bewitched, so obviously you had to be a witch. If a cat was seen running down the street, or a cow lost its milk, that was seen as witchcraft. Consequently, many people were condemned as witches, and either burned, hung, or even pressed with stones. My favorite story was that of a man condemned as a witch--if you confessed to being a witch, your property was seized as well. He was pressed to death with stones, but he wanted his family to keep their possessions, so his dying words were, "More stones!"
There was a political component to the trials, too--there were two factions within Salem, and most, of not all of the persons accused of being witches were in one faction. Those who were outsiders, such as older women and loners, were especially vulnerable to being accused. The madness finally ended when the judges accused the wife of the Governor of Massachusetts of being a witch. At that point, the governor had enough, and put a stop to it.
Reply:Tyrannical rule by a governing body:
There was the church's fanatical obsession with the Devil that could be seen as a contrivance to elicit fear in people to get them to follow their edicts and be dominated by their dictatorial authority.
Tactics used by tyrants:
To exaggerate fear, the church would validate any accusation of Devil possession in which they would kill the accused to further instill even greater fear in people.
Gullibility of people in fear:
Young girls in the town were used by the church using the justification that young girls are pure enough to possess spiritual insight to see the Devil in others.
Personal ethics and integrity:
A married man was accused by one young girl because of unrequited love, but he wouldn't compromise his integrity by admitting to being possessed and working for the devil and subsequently was murdered by the church.
Reply:I recommend going to CNBC website, and searching for "Salem Witch Trials". The host of their noon daily program, Power Lunch, has just completed a brand new book on the topic, and stated he is sure, after doing his research, that the prevailing reason for the trials was the taking of property for personal wealth. That's a new perspective, and if you do the research through his new book, should provide a strong platform for your paper.

In a research paper, how do you make a reference to an article?
Is it italicized? Or in quotation marks? Please give an example too.
This is for the body of the paper, not for the references.
