In this blog post I will be writing about my research project. As we just have started to work on our project, the information I will be able to share with you will be very broad. I have decided to do my research project on a question that I am very interested in which asks “How does social media animate toxic behaviors in teenage girls/boys?” To narrow down and focus my research a little more, I only picked boys. This way I can provide more of my own experience to the project. The genre I chose to do is “Op-Ed”. This genre is basically providing an argument and proving yourself by providing information to back it up. This genre requires me to use the citation style “DMC” which stands for Digital Media Citation, which I prefer over MLA style. The primary audience I am targeting will be America parents of teenage boys, and my secondary audience is people who visit my website and are not aware of the research project.
My introductory so far "However, the technological advancements have also had a negative impact on teenagers. It took a big part in reshaping teenage boys behaviors and what their parents think their behaviors should be. Social media influences toxic behaviors in American teenage boys by presenting them with bad role models, negative actions, and false expectations of life." has been introducing and preparing the reader with background details or points to smoothly understand my points throughout the research paper. I plan on narrowing down each paragraph to one point to keep the reader entertained and to keep my writing simple, persuasive, and informal. Also, since I am writing an Op-Ed, I have to have a counter argument. I plan on writing about the counter argument mid paper to break the difference between the two sides as it is a controversial topic. So far, this is where I have reached to in my research project.

I did something totally different in my post. I feel maybe I didn't properly understand it. I like your style of the project I am doing the same style.

Hey Mustafa, This blog provides good me with a idea of the direction your research paper is going in. I like that your choosing "Op-Ed" its an unique style of writing and will show your flexible with your writing. Having a teenage brother I look forward to “How does social media animate toxic behaviors in teenage girls/boys?” Great job presenting this information.
