I-Search Paper: Selection and Use of Information SourcesNicole T
This document is an I-Search paper that discusses sources used about the topic of sexual abuse of female veterans. It summarizes 5 sources: 1) a news article about challenges faced by female soldiers, 2) a database discussing sexual violence in the military and efforts to address it, 3) an email interview with an expert soldier about life at war, 4) a newspaper article questioning if women should serve in combat roles, and 5) a video interview with victims of military rape discussing the trauma's lasting effects.
The document provides guidance on choosing a topic and developing good research questions for an I-Search paper. It recommends narrowing broad topics to make them manageable to research fully. Good questions are specific rather than vague, and can be answered through research. Examples of both broad and narrow topics as well as good and bad questions are given. Key terms for research papers like reliable sources, citations, facts versus opinions, and purpose are defined. Students are reminded of previous assignments relating to their I-Search topic.
Nicole organized a Muscular Dystrophy Walk-a-thon for her senior project. Through donations and the success of the event, she raised $2,400 for Muscular Dystrophy research. One obstacle was changing the location from a track to the cafeteria due to weather. Despite this, she still raised a sufficient amount. Nicole plans to study pre-pharmacy and become a doctor, as the project reinforced her passion for medicine and helping others. She believes the project was beneficial for helping her community and solidifying her future career goals.
This student conducted research on the sexual abuse of female veterans. For their first research question, they found that women are more likely to be assaulted in the military due to making up a small percentage of forces and being seen as weak by male soldiers. Their second question looked at the impact of abuse, finding that victims often suffer from depression, trust issues, and feelings of betrayal. For their third question, they discussed recent military programs like I AM STRONG that aim to prevent abuse through education and ensuring confidentiality for victims. The student felt they created an organized online presentation through tools like Netvibes and was proud of interviewing an expert, though wished to interview more people.
The document discusses muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder that causes muscles to weaken over time. It describes the different types of muscular dystrophy and their symptoms, such as loss of ability to walk or sit up. While there is no cure currently, organizations like the Muscular Dystrophy Association fund research through events like telethons in the hopes of finding effective treatments and a cure. The association aims to support those affected by the disease and further public understanding.
Nicole Torralba organized a walk-a-thon to raise money for muscular dystrophy. She received support from her doctors, family, school beta club, fire department, and others. Through advertising and her efforts, she raised $2,400 for muscular dystrophy research and learned about making a positive difference through community involvement.
The document is a work log for Nicole Torralba detailing her work organizing a Muscular Dystrophy walk-a-thon. Over several months, she planned the event by meeting with the MDA National Chairman, reserving a track for the event, creating promotional materials, securing sponsors, and coordinating volunteers. Her work involved extensive coordination, outreach, and preparation to ensure a successful walk-a-thon to support those affected by Muscular Dystrophy.
This document is a speech by Nicole Torralba about organizing a Muscular Dystrophy Walk-a-thon for her senior project. She describes meeting Luke Christie, the Muscular Dystrophy National Chairman, who inspired her to help find a cure. Torralba planned the walk-a-thon over several months, securing sponsorships, advertising, and coordinating logistics. On the day of the event, it rained so she moved it indoors. The walk-a-thon was a success, raising $2,400 and bringing awareness to Muscular Dystrophy.

This summary provides an overview of the key points from the document:
The document is a research paper by a student investigating the sexual abuse of female veterans. It addresses three main research questions: 1) Why are women targeted in the military? 2) What happens to women who are sexually abused? 3) What has been done to prevent further abuse? The student relied on databases, news reports, and first-hand accounts to research the questions. They were dismayed by the mistreatment of women and lack of support for victims. The military has since implemented programs like I AM STRONG to address the issues and protect women. The student reflected on learning more about the trauma experienced by victims and soldiers at war.
Travis Williams is a veteran who served with the 1st Marine Battalion in Iraq. He is remembering and mourning 13 brothers from his battalion who were killed in action: Grant Fraser, Nicholas Bloem, Timothy Bell, Brett Wightman, David Kreuter, Michael Cifuentes, Christopher Dyer, Justin Hoffman, Aaron Reed, Edward “Augie” Schroeder, and Eric Bernholtz. Williams has joined groups honoring America and the Marine Corps, and is hosting a memorial for his fallen brothers on May 7, 2010 in Huntley, Illinois.
This document provides citations for research sources on the topic of women in the military. It includes 5 sources - an online newspaper article from 2009 about the challenges faced by female soldiers, a 2008 book chapter from an opposing viewpoints collection discussing sexual violence against women in the military, an email interview with a soldier about their experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan, a 2009 New York Times newspaper article questioning whether women should serve in combat roles, and a 1994 television program interviewing women about the effects of sexual abuse in the military.
The interviewee decided to enlist in the military after high school out of a sense of duty to serve the country that had taken him in. He served in the Marines from 1994-1998 and later joined the Georgia Army National Guard in 2006, deploying to Afghanistan in 2009. During his deployment, he helped train the Afghan National Border Patrol. He was initially nervous arriving in the war zone but became accustomed to it. His duties involved training Afghan forces. In November 2009, he was injured in a vehicle collision and suffered a traumatic brain injury, being sent back to the US for treatment. He now receives medical care and physical therapy through an Army program but is unable to return to full military service due to his injuries.

4. What has been done to prevent the abuse of female veterans?I have chosen these five questions as the basis for my research project. These questions take a great look into sexual abuse of female veterans. It is very specific and will produce great information. I feel that all of these questions are great in discovering the reasons of sexual abuse of female veterans. I have come to find that women are always treated as the weaker gender and I have no idea why. They have proven to the world that they are capable to contend with men and can manage the harsh realities of the world. <br />I came up with the first question because I was curious what exactly makes these soldiers quot;
tick.quot;
I know they come from great families and great backgrounds so why harm one of your fellow comrades. I find that this is a question that definitely needs to be addressed. I came up with the second question because I am inquisitive of why it is females that are targeted. What sets them apart from the other genders? I came up with the third question because I want to know whether the high ranking soldiers are more likely to abuse women or whether the low ranking soldiers are. I came up with the fourth question because I want to know how the women have coped after this encounter. How have they managed to move on and continue living their life? Lastly, that last question is very important because I want to know what the U.S. has done to stop abuse. Have they taken extensive measures to put an end to this occurrence or have they ignored it? All these questions are yet to be answered and I am quite excited to find the answers to all of them.<br />
