I reminded Katya that a research paper is organic. It goes through stages until it researches a final draft that needs to be carefully proofread. Shared with Katya that I found interesting that her research so far has given us many different answers to the question: What are the causes of divorce. The "experts" we've found do not agree at all on the top and most significant causes. That problem raises some interesting questions one of which is: How do we solve this problem? I justed an additional idea: Why not make this problem a discussion point at the start of her paper? Going back to solutions to the problem, I asked how do we validate a so-called expert? What qualifies a person to be believed and trusted? How do we distinguish between sources that are reliable and sources that cannot be relied on to give us fact-based, research-based statement? Going further, I suggested that any dubious quote might easily be used. First, by quoting the source and then proving that the view point being presented is really a misconception. Correcting misconceptions can be an interesting strategy and a nice piece of education for the reader, one which the reader should appreciate. Plus, you the researcher get praise for your insight. We discussed the bar graph Katya found and, second, how important it is to spending time "ingterpreting" the bar graph for the reader so the reader comes away with the key concepts in the block quote the writer wants to emphasize. To keep things "neutral," "unbiased," "objective," "open-minded" in tone (for the sake of the writer's image), I suggested two formulas: First framework: Some people say that....Other people believe....Still others argue that....Recent research has suggested....; or Second framework: It might be argued that....It might be argued that....It might be argued that... But recent research has suggested ...... Note: each element could easily get its own new paragraph, and each paragraph could be developed by completing the phrase "According to ....." which would be followed by a block quote.
