Phase 2
I will be researching how anti-war and arms control groups will affect the United States weapons industry. I one day hope to go into weapons manufacturing and perhaps designing my own, so this topic is very important to me. Depending on how successful these anti-war groups are there may not be a U.S. weapons industry for me to go into. Researching this topic will allow to have a better understanding of the anit-war activists perspective and will allow me to incorporate things into the weapons that may lessen their protests. If I am unable to do this, then I will be able to refute their arguments because I will have already done the research on where they stand. I know very little about this topic but I hope to learn both sides of the story. As far as people who would want to follow this blog, it could be any number of people. It could be corporate managers in the weapons industry, potential employers, fellow students, or teachers.

Richard, like we discussed briefly after class, you've picked an interesting topic to research that has a direct impact on your future career. Also, I think it's good that, as you say, you "know very little" about this topic because that should help you approach the research you find without any preconceived conclusions or biases. This is an area of research that I'm interested to follow because many groups and organizations have strong opinions about the best course of action, and so I look forward to seeing what your find.
ReplyDeleteRichard, I think this is a very interesting topic and is a very hot topic right now in the media and politics. I think you are taking a pro-active approach to be able to incorporate potential future gun laws and standards into a future career. I have been following the gun debate because I think it could be a turning point in our society, and there are so many different viewpoints on it.
