Community Profile: Research Strategy

 Will You Live or Die 

In English 001A, i am learning to do a research proposal where i talk about why i picked my topic and what i know about it, the many new things i learned, research questions, and research strategies.

I selected my topic about drunk drivers because it makes me wonder, why do people do it when they know there's a possibility that something may or may not go wrong? This topic seemed to interest me because I wanted to get into detail of the stories and experience that others had to say or how they felt, then if they even feel any guilt at all. This is what I know: those driving under the influence will not only go to jail but if they end up killing someone, they will be under vehicular homicide for THE REST OF THEIR LIFE! Which I doubt anyone would want. As I interviewed a Police Officer, I was told the most gruesome stories and the stuff he had to witness was just chilling. I hope dearly that my reader knows better than to drive under the influence and to always think before they do. 

I) What I Know Driving

 under the influence is not only dangerous but is in fact dangerous to others. I know this (as I'm sure others do) because I always hear stories of those drinking and driving and how some never make it to their family. Some people are likely to, but they are injured and those who were maimed say they wish they were dead instead which is very heart wrenching to hear. I wanted to hear stories from a good ole friend who's a police officer because he's one to know stories and has to deal with these drunk drivers to prevent something bad from happening which is why came and questioned him.

Officer Jose is possibly one we should thank because he does his best to prevent these horrifying accidents from happening and from people losing a loved one. Jose been an officer for some time and is proud for what he does because he stops people from doing something they're not supposed to and prevents most things from happening. Jose knows he can't save everyone and everything, just as a doctor can't but it’s the fact that he does his best is what matter and that’s what makes him proud. Jose deals with drunk drivers all the time and always on the weekends and holidays, that’s where he catches people from left to right. He believes that there should be no telling when there's a DUI stop, it's cool that they're helping people out, or so think. If anything, people are making it worse for other drivers, it's better to get a ticket than to kill someone's family son or daughter or themselves.

II) What I Learn 

How do you prevent someone from driving under the influence? Before anyone goes out and knows that they’ll be drinking should always think about how they're going to get home. There are many ways such as, to be dropped off and picked up, have a designated driver, spend a night at the persons place, call up a taxi, Uber or lyft. This doesn’t mean you can't drink, nor does it mean you can't have fun if you're not drunk. There's always a way to not drive under the influence so you won't get a ticket and a night in jail and so you won't harm a family. 

III) Research questions: 

1. Why do people drive under the influence knowing its bad?

 2. How do I know someone is drinking and driving? 

3. How do people get addicted to alcohol? 

4. What make it okay for people to drink and drive?

5. How do drunk drivers affect others? 

6. Do people not think of others when driving under the influence? 

III) Three primary questions:

 1.How bad is it dealing with drunk drivers? 

2.What are the consequences of driving under the influence?

 3.Who do I call if someone is suggesting driving while being drunk? how do I stop them from doing so? 

IIIII) My Research Strategy:

I used Proquest to search for any news about driving under the influence and how many people suffer each year from it which are more than millions of people. I also learn that there are one third of road accidents that involve alcohol. Theses websites included amazing information about my topic and made me more exhilarated to write about it and hope that it helped my readers understanding how it's not safe to drive under the influence and to help others prevent it from happening.
