Eric Bailey. "Doctors Urge Easing of Marijuana Ban." Los Angeles Times (Los Angeles, CA) Feb. 15, 2008: n.p. SIRS Researcher. Web. 05 October, 2009.

The American College of Physicians, the largest group of internal medicine practitioners in the nation, released a 13 page position paper on their stand on the legalization of medical marijuana. Their stand on medical marijuana usage is contradicts the statement made by the Bush administration. The medical community embraces the usage of non-smoked forms of Marijuana.

Scuffi, Pierro. “A brief summary of Jamaican music.” Scaruffi.com. Pierro Scruff, 2003. Web.
2009. http://www.scaruffi.com/history/reggae.html.

This article was written by Pierro Scruffi. It does not only include reggae music in the article. It includes many various types of Jamaican music. The article gives a brief summary of the history of reggae music such as origins and founders. In my paper I may be able to use this to disprove the popular belief that reggae started in Jamaica.


NEW PARAGRAPH
Piero Scaruffi, a cultural historian and critic, wrote this article in order to clarify the different styles and origins of music associated with Jamaica and discount the popular belief that Jamaica is the birthplace of reggae music. Through this he identifies the true origins and founders of reggae music. I will be able to utilize this article in a research paper by discussing the state of the area it was created when it was created which would show the effects of reggae on the society and the influence from society on reggae.

Old Annotated Bibliography: The online article is meant to bring the unhealthiness of Girl Scout cookies to the audience’s attention.

The source will be used to support with facts that the cookies hold no nutritional value.

Hanson, David J. Ph.D. “We Would All be Better off if the Drinking Age were 18.” Alcohol Problems and Solutions.(1997-2007.) Web Document.

Hanson’s article offers an honest opinion on whether or not the drinking age should be lowered back to 18. He brings in very important points and reasons to back up his opinion. Dr. David Hanson agrees on the subject that the drinking age should be lowered back to 18. He finds it silly that an 18 year old is supposed to be categorized as an adult yet they cannot buy alcohol. Hanson says, “if they can fight a war then an 18 year old should be able to drink.”

This source is a somewhat reliable source. Hanson has a Ph.D. and is a professor at a well-known university. The article he has written is biased because it is written on an alcohol based website, but it is a reliable source.

This article is the base of the research topic of lowering the drinking age back to 18. It is the epitome of the idea and argument that people have been trying to make since it was raised to 21. It explains probably the most important fact that people bring up. The idea that if you can fight for your country, that you should be able to buy alcohol, is the biggest idea that people bring up. It is very relevant to the topic of lowering the drinking age.

Robert Bruce Mullin, both author and accomplished professor at the General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church, writes about the history of the Christian church including its downfalls.

One of the sources that I am going to be using for my research paper is this website, posted by the Universtiy of Michigan. The author, Kayla Bosye, is a very credible source because she has many degrees and she is and RN. This website gives me a lot of numerical data and good explinations of how obesity is started. It gives me many guides to other resources and offers other websites for more information. The article goes through and defines obesity and talk about some of the percentages of the population that are obese. Then it talks about medical concerns, how child obesity gets started, preventing obesity in your child, and offers books that help with child obesity.

Active Euthanasia: An Annotated Bibliography
Young, Robert. Medically Assisted Death. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2007. Robert Young looks at the form of active euthanasia, or “physician-assisted suicide,” in this 12 chapter book. Young does a good job remaining neutral in this stance, and even dissects all of the possibilities of euthanasia in different parts. He even looks at the possibility of non-voluntary euthanasia in a separate chapter (11), a chapter that I will read closely in search of counter arguments for the “fear of non-voluntary euthanasia” position that seems to be one of the major positions against active euthanasia. The book includes court cases and other citations that will come in handy. There have been developments in the use of active euthanasia even since 2007, developments this book cannot help with.

            The main point in this article was the author displaying the fact that Rhode Island wanted to get illegalize prostitution. The writers’ stance was credible. It didn’t display any opinions, only facts. They also didn’t appear to pick any sides. This will offer a key argument in my research essay. It talks about a woman who says she does it to support her family. She doesn’t like to do it, but it is out of necessity.

Young, John. “Failures of Our Age: Communism versus Capitalism.” 31 March 2007. 27 September 2009 .

This article spoke on how capitalism today is strikingly similar to communism, and is merely masked by a web of lies. It talks about how an individual can’t really own much of anything due to the ease at which the government or a single lawyer can take it away. This argument contains a credible opinion, but as with any discussion of this subject, it contains bias as well. It is clear that the author is blatantly against government interference in the lives of Americans and that we would all be better off without the rules and regulations we have in place today. I will use this article to point out areas in which our economic system and government are corrupt and show a side of the issue that is being debated within this paper.

“Surrounded by a coastal plain of sparkling beaches, spacious marshes, and palmetto trees...Set in the center of the Carolina Low Country, like a single jewel on a golden chain...Welcome to Charleston, South Carolina, city of history, mystery and preservation”
This quote off the website will help me in my paper as it tells the reader what Charleston truly looks like through a pedestrian.Through the Low Country there are many beautiful places and locations one can go to experience all South Carolina’s outdoors has to offer. It ranges from the beaches of the low country down the coast to the historical district of Charleston, which hold some of the most important history in the south. Utilizing this in my paper allow the people who disagree with the idea behind preserving such a beautiful place. The main idea behind South Carolina is how it is like a "single jewel on a gold chain..." which is the main point im trying to convey in my paper and how we need to keep tourism alive. Therfore we can have charleston so beautiful.

“Global Warming Fast Facts.” National Geographic News. 2007. 26 Sep. 2009. .

This article from National Geographic News outlines the causes and effects of global warming. Statistics concerning the issue of global warming are included as well. The article explains that humans are in fact the cause of global warming, and that we must take action to prevent it. The article explains what global warming is; it describes how the greenhouse gases created by humans are causing the overall temperature of the earth to rise. It is stated that many areas of our planet are being affected from our pollution: from the glaciers and poles, to the coral reefs in the oceans. The article then goes on to explain that global warming is having an impact on our planet; unusual weather events such as extreme droughts and large, powerful hurricanes are becoming more frequent. It also states that some species of animals with become extinct, and explains that low lying areas of land will eventually be submerged if we continue to ignore global warming.
Although a specific author is not listed, National Geographic seems to be a reputable source. This is evident in the fact that the statistics shown in the article have been obtained from various government organizations such as the UN Panel for Climate Change.
I will be able to use this source in my paper, as it seems to be a reliable source and includes many useful statistics to back up my argument that we must utilize new methods of sustainable architecture to reduce our emissions of carbon dioxide. The statistics are stated simply, so this will be an ideal source of statistics for my paper.

Claiborne, Shane. Jesus for President. Grand Rapids, Michigan: Zondervan, 2008. Print.

Using this book, I will delve into what has gone wrong in the history of the Church, specifically with the Roman Empire, and with what has happened to culture in America today dealing with politics and the Church. The writer, Shane Claiborne, is a Christian activist for service to the poor and nonviolence. He offers bias towards changing the Church, but backs up his arguments with facts and rational thinking, making him a credible source to use. The source will be used to both develop my argument of how the Church has fallen away throughout history, and how the Church in America is also far from where it should be.

Sacks, Oliver. “How Music Can Change the Brain.” The Music Instinct: Science & Song. PBS. May 21, 2009. .
This source is trustworthy being on the PBS website. The interviewee, Oliver Sacks (CBE, FRCP, MD), is a British neurologist, well-published in the area of neurology. The PBS program itself is directed towards educational purposes. This series is geared towards an intellectual audience, probably those interested in music, neurology, or anyone just curious. Oliver Sacks is interviewed many times in this series on the topic of music and the brain, covering topics like “Are Humans Wired for Music?” and “Parkinsonism and Music’s Ability to Heal”. This work is useful in that it directly answers general questions about the brain functions vs. the abilities of music, in comparison to reading an article or book, which pours over every detail of the subject. Interviews, like this one, can also be very informal, making it easier to follow along and stay interested. This series hits on a lot of the topics I might cover in my paper.
