Deadline # 3 HW #2 Research Question

After re-reading Chapter 3 from the Bedford Researcher and doing some of the activities, I have narrowed down my research question. I'm thinking my role for my research paper is an advocate. Advocates present evidence in favor to their side of an argument. This essentially fits me because I am writing about the hunting controversy in America today and trying to persaude people that hunting is not bad. I can also see myself as a reporter presenting neutral information on the topic. I would not have an opinion on the side. It could be either one, but i'm not totally sure yet. What helped me figure out my research question was pages 34-41. It helped me through choosing what my question is going to be formatted (Outocomes, Information, and Evaluation) and refining it by taking broad words out and replacing them with specific words. I narrowed down my research question to either of these two because they are both interesting and I would be passionate in writing either one.

Research Question: Although we know that the hunting controversy has been a heated debate. How effective are the hunting community's strategies in swaying the vast non-hunting majority of the American public.

OR

In the light of the hunting controversy in America. Could the assault by animal-rights groups and environmentalists abolish hunting in America.
