For this research assignment i wasnt too sure what i would fine when i started researching. I had an idea about the direction i wanted to go in. My biggest problem was i couldnt find alot of information regarding the opposing views for my topic. I ended figuring out how you could spin support into a bad thing. Usually when someone thinks about a support system they think of it as a good and helpful thing, but there can be cases where too much support can hinder your ability to be on your own. Parents who are over bearing and that do everything for their child cause them not to be able to learn on their own and make decisions based on what they think is right. I am still interested in writing on this topic after finding more information. At first i wasnt too sure if i still wanted to because i couldnt find anything but now i feel better about it. I think someone who has kids of their own, or someone who is going through a hard time accomplishing something could find it helpful. I might try to include tips and advice into my paper. I want the reader to understand that it is important to have a support system even if that just means one person, just to know that someone is in your corner, to help you succeed. But i want them to also understand that too much support can be harmful too.
Campbell, Marilyn. “Too Much Love: Helicopter Parents Could Be Raising Anxious, Narcissistic Children.” The Conversation, 2 Mar. 2020, theconversation.com/too-much-love-helicopter-parents-could-be-raising-anxious-narcissistic-children-116182.
This article is about “helicopter parenting.” In this article it talks about how over bearing parents control lots of aspects in their adult children’s life. They do things like contacting lecturers to ask about how their kids are doing in class, and sitting in on meetings. There is a fine line between wanting to support your kids in their lives but sometimes they can do too much and hinder their children’s ability to succeed on their own.
I think this article could be a very good asset to my paper because it is an opposing viewpoint for my topic. They show how parents can give their kids too much support and cause them not to be able to do things on their own to succeed.
This source could fit into my paper because it is an opposing viewpoint and helps shape the paper. This source was very helpful in determining what direction i want to take this paper in, and how i can write it. It gave me the idea of how too much support can be harmful. I will probably use this article in my paper because it helps support my topic.
Lehman, Janet. “Are You Doing Too Much for Your Child?” Empowering Parents, http://www.empoweringparents.com/article/are-you-doing-too-much-for-your-child/.
Back then, parents didnt feel the need to get over involved in their kids problems, but in todays world of parenting it seems to be different. Newer parents today tend to be over involved in their kids lives and make things worse. They talk about how we arent doing our kids any favors by being overly involved in their lives and doing things for them. We are teaching them that its okay to avoid taking personal responsibility and that others will fix it for them.
I think this article could be very useful in my paper because it gives so many valid reason in why overly supportive parents can be harmful to their kids in the long run. It doesnt teach them how to solve things on their own and that someone else will fix it if they cant.
This source would fit well in my paper because it shows how kids turn out based on how their parents act. It could be useful because it gives a different perspective in just how much support is too much. I think i will use this article in my paper because it helps support the opposing view of peer or family support.

This article talks about how if a parent hovers, and tries to anticipate their child’s needs, then the child will never learn to develop confidence in their own judgement and ability to do things. When parents learn to back off, and not be excessive, they learn to listen to themselves and make decisions on their own.
I think this article could be helpful when writing my paper because it gives alot of information and helpful ways that parents can help their children succeed. This article is credible in my opinions because it is written on Psychology today, so it is expert advice and opinions and that is very trustworthy.
This source was very helpful to me because it helps me gather more information on my topic and helps with the opposing view. I think i will use this article in my paper because i find it very useful and informative.

This article is about a program that the University of Melbourne created in order to train students grades 10-12 to know how to handle situations when someone they know is thinking about suicide. The program trains them in how to notice if something is wrong, asking if their friend is ok and telling them to talk to an adult. They said that those who took the training were 35 times more likely to report a adequate suicide first aid than those who didnt take the program.
I think this could be useful for the support factor of the paper because it gives data and experiments with kids so it can be seen as a credible source. I dont think it could be used in the opposing factor because it supports the idea of peer support helping success.
The source could fit into my paper for the reasons why peer support helps guide you to success because it shows how those who are trained and support can help the suicide rates go down. I, however, wouldnt use this in my paper because it doesnt go with the opposing side.

This article is about a program that the University of Wisconsin came up with, supporting those who are aging and helping with a smooth transition. The program connect older adults who are aging with peers in the community who are understanding of the community culture and and the neighborhood. They are also trained by local nonprofits to provide companionship and link them to integral social services.
I think this article could be useful for the support aspect of the paper because it gives a good detailed experiment that focuses on how support groups help those succeed in what they was to do. In this particular article they just want to help those who are aging transition better and stay where they are. It, however, doesnt address any opposing viewpoints.
I wouldnt use this in my paper because instead of addressing an opposing viewpoint it supports the idea of succeeding with a support group. It could fit in my paper for support my idea.

This article is about a peer support system for those African Americans who have Type 2 diabetes. They talk about their experiences with assistance with daily disease management, emotional support, linkage to clinical care and community resources and ongoing support. They interviewed 20 African Americans with Type 2 diabetes, to see what they experiences and background was with the peer support group.
I think this could be useful for the supporting factor of this paper, however i dont think it could work with the opposing factor. It is a credible source because they have conducted interviews with people who have experienced it.
The source could fit into my research because it gives you real life experiences of people who have experienced peer support groups and how they made them feel and how they made a difference. Even though it does a great job of using credible sources, it however isnt an opposing view so i probably wouldnt use it in my paper.

In this article it talks about how there was a mentor group at the University of Virginia for black students. Jessica Fowler, a student at the University of Virginia, and a future med student at Duke University, volunteered in a mentor group for African Americans. She mainly mentored a woman named Courtney White. Courtney explained in the article that not only was Jessica there for her for school help, but also things much bigger and beyond the academic part. The article goes on to talk about the stats of African American students and their success rates at universities.
I think it could be a useful source but not necessarily for an opposing view. I think the stats and the real life experiences help it be a credible source to use.
This source could fit into my research by showing that programs like the one used at the University of Virginia, can help students progress in their studies and be successful in the end. I don’t think i would use this article in my assignment because it isn’t an opposing view.

It changed the way i read “waking up and taking charge,” because when i first read it i wasnt looking for anything specific, but after i learned what case analysis and rhetorical appeals were i started reading it and trying to figure out how she was making her claim and why she did that. I was able to analyze her essay better by understanding it better because i learned what to look for
