Can someone offer a good thesis?
Cyber bullying it's just more to talk about. Start off by saying ''A serious issue has come to the attention of Americans today. Than say how kids cyber bully other kids blah blah blah. Look up Cyber Bullying on Google and read about it and use stuff from the articale you read to put in your research paper.
I really need to get this research paper done. Funny enough it#39;s about internet addiction. I think I might have a mild addiction to the web ...
I have a POSITION PAPER due tomorrow for my english 100 class, my first position paper ever. So im somewhat confused, somewhat. I do know that this position paper will list my sources and how i plan to use them for my final research paper. The paper is on internet addiction/obsession. Where can i get some good sources for this topic? My teacher barked at me for using WIKIPEDIA on my last paper and now i know why and will never use it as a reliable source. I need 4 sources. Tips? Help? Advice????
There are probably more Government findings that make good source to quote from, but hard to read ...
for a list of the obsessed, check out the leader board in Yahoo Answers ... LOL

Is it considered plagiarism to use the definitions from the website? or should i site them?
I would cite them. What else are you going to do? Say "well marijuana is Mary Jane and cocaine is Blow so you know what I'm sayin' don't cha'?"
I'm being facetious. You could rewrite in your own words but citing would be easier.
bInternet Addiction/b - Is there such a thing as being too well read?
I agree with Dilbert that it can be hard to pull away from all the news stories that flash up on my desktop from politics to technology to satirical cartoons. It's just too tempting not to click. To a certain extent newspapers must be losing ground. I tend to read newspaper articles online throughout the week, whereas 10 years ago I may have taken a Sunday newspaper. To answer the original question I don't think there is such a thing as being too well read; learning and the quest for knowledge is fundamental to the human experience.
For once we agree on something!!
I should have also mentioned newspapers along with libraries – both are on the death list or at least they will move fully online. Whilst people may be nostalgic for printed information I guess in a way it coincides nicely with the fact that we need to stop printing so much in combating climate change (no, I don't want to argue about that now!).
Hey you don't get to chose when we argue :p. I don't think we'll see the end of printed material any time soon. It's so much more comfortable to read than present display technology. Let's see what electronic ink does for it though. On the environmental side young trees sequestrate carbon dioxide at a high rate, so if you grow a tree and turn it into paper you're taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and capturing it in the paper. I imagine this is good if you're worried about CO2 levels?
