Need help on my paragraph

Shadow:

Post. I will get to it once I finish this game.

zarkam21:

Okay.

zarkam21:

Honor Killings In my research project, I want to do research on honor killings. I know this is not as much common here in the United States but in Middle Eastern countries, it is really common. It is unfair and needs to more known about. I want to research what circumstances push individuals to kill their own daughters or sisters. It is so hard for me to even grasp this idea that for the sake of honor, someone is willing to do something like this. My plans for this research project is to highlight and inform on why these types of killings take place. I want to educate at least one person

zarkam21:

Basically my task is just to identify my plans for your project; my tentative thesis statement; and at least 2 questions to discuss.

zarkam21:

Its all under the category of honor killings.

Shadow:

In my research project, I want to look into (don't repeat research twice, use other words) honor killings. I know this isn't (or do 'not as common') common here in the United States but in Middle Eastern countries it is quite (really doesn't sound good here) common. It is unfair and more people need to know about it (needs to more known about sounds off). I want to research what circumstances push individuals to kill their own daughters or sisters. It is hard so hard for me to grasp this idea that for the sake of honor, someone is willing to do something like that (not this). My plans for this research project is to highlight and inform on why these types of killings take place. I want to educate at least one person.

Shadow:

@zarkam21

Shadow:

It is can be written as It's

Shadow:

so -> quite

Shadow:

Just to change things up

zarkam21:

What else would I add as being part of my plan of research?

zarkam21:

I;m having a brain freeze. I can't think of anything else.

Shadow:

I mean it seems clear to me. You want to explore the variables that induce people into killing women

zarkam21:

And would I base the questions around the research?

Shadow:

uh yes

zarkam21:

OKay i will figure that out. I am having trouble with the tentative thesis part

zarkam21:

@Vocaloid

zarkam21:

it needs to be an argument regarding honor killings

Shadow:

Yes so have you done research?

zarkam21:

no. im just supposed to present a thesis statement for my professor nothing else

Shadow:

Yes but a thesis statement is an argument, and you don't seem like you know what you're arguing

zarkam21:

I am arguing the difference between homicides and honor killings?

Shadow:

Are you asking me?

zarkam21:

I don't have an arguement so i am asking if that would be a good one

Shadow:

Yes but we already know what that is. People kill to maintain honor.

Shadow:

An argument means you’re trying to prove something to be true.

Shadow:

Think about honor killings and what you’d like to prove about them.

zarkam21:

Well it needs to relate to trauma which honor killings does

zarkam21:

what about honor killing is not the same as murder. The intent is different

zarkam21:

@Shadow

Shadow:

Well both have the intent to kill. Honor killings just have the additional modifier of maintaining honor.

zarkam21:

Ugh why is this so hard

zarkam21:

what about proving that how much honor means to them?

Shadow:

It seemed to me that your original argument was that honor killings are a prominent issue in the Middle East. You points could be the widespread practice of it, the consequences, and how the culture perpetuates it.

Shadow:

Your*

zarkam21:

OH so would this statement be an argument: Honor Killings are prominent in the Middle East?

Shadow:

Yes
