On Friday in my Family Relations class, we were talking about research, and how to discern good research from bad research. Towards the end of the class, our teacher asked us to decide on a topic regarding families that we could research if we could.
At first, my mind was blank. It was the end of a long day, my last class of the week, and my brain was just done with all things scholastic. After rolling a few mediocre ideas around in my head for a bit, my pen was on the paper ready to write one of them down, and my idea struck me: What are the long-term affects on children who have a parent who regularly views pornography?
This is definitely a question born of personal experience. It's not experience I'm going to get into much right now (though I guess I'm not quite leaving much up to the imagination).
My teacher asked us later why a person chooses to research something, so I thought about my reasons. To spark a change... to bring an awareness to others... to help. Because of my own experience with this sort of thing, it's something I feel passionate about.
I realized after the class that I felt inspired. I want to actually do research on this. I want to bring it to people's attention. I want people to know what an issue this is. I want to make people aware of the problems that this sort of thing does cause. I need to look into what to do to make this possible.
