Introduction

The main idea of a research proposal is identification of important social issues, for which an additional research is needed to clarify them, and, in some cases, to justify the need of sponsorship and to describe the main ideas of an investigation. Among the most important of this academic and sometimes business activity are succinct, yet informative abstract and introduction with an absorbing narrative hook. This paper discusses the main elements of these components of a research proposal, as well as it speculates about irrelevance of rhetorical questions in academic and business research.

Both Pascal's and Silverman's wagers are logical. While, at some point, I find Silverman's position reasonable, it is such only if taking Pascal's position in a very simplistic way. Silverman makes the point that God would favor reason and intelligence over blind faith which is rather understandable. It is indeed better to develop own intelligence, progress and become a better human being than not to. But I do not think that it is all about going to heaven and talking to God. I think that God is rather entity than being. Pascal’s position, in my opinion, is much ...

Study

Abstract Juvenile transfer laws is one of the most controversial issue on the today’s criminal justice agenda of the United States of America. Thus, the policymakers vehemently argue that the possibility of being tried ‘as an adult’ is an effective general, specific and potential deterrent of juvenile crime.
