Brainstorming+2

Phase 1:

TOPIC #1 One topic of interest to me is __humanitarian efforts__. There are two reasons that __humanitarian efforts__ are significant to me. The first reason that __humanitarian efforts__ are significant to me is because I think that there are people in need in the world, but the general public does not recognize this. The second reason that __humanitarian efforts__ are significant to me is because I want to make the world a better place for everyone to live. There are two reasons for which __humanitarian efforts__ are significant to community(-ies). The first reason that __humanitarian efforts__ are significant to the community of __Springfield__ is because if we are able to hold a blood drive, we can help the community by making blood more available for anyone that may be in need. The second reason for which __humanitarian efforts__ are significant to the community of __Springfield__ is that by educating the audience about the importance of humanitarian work, I can convince them that humanitarian work in high school will help build strong character.

Phase 2:

__TOPIC #1__ Why does society care about __humanitarian efforts__? ... I anticipate following the __Community Service__ project option. While conducting my research, I will be asking several questions. However, there is one overarching question which drives or compels my research and project. My overriding investigation asks: __How can humanitarian efforts not only help the group benefited by the work, but also the person or people conducting the work as well__? I identify two short-term goals (during the next two weeks) and two long-term goals (at the start of April 2010) my project: Short... 1. Research humanitarian work/efforts. 2. Speak with Mrs. Ward about the Blood Drive (planning, recruiting, training, scheduling, etc.) Long... 1. Recruit students for blood donation through advertising. 2. Write a paper about how humanitarian efforts can affect both the people being helped, and those helping. The point of my project is to demonstrate how humanitarian efforts can affect both the people being helped, and those helping.
