Research project
I plan on writing my research paper on how the important role that sports plays in the healing process after tragedies. I will start by grabbing the attention of the audience in my into by talking about some of the tragedies that my paper will pertain to. I will be talking about 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, the Bluffton bus crash, and the Virginia Tech shooting. I feel that this topic is controversial because of the fact that many do not believe or understand how important sports is to people in heling them heal. The fact that people come together at games to unite and remember and honor those who were lost in the tragedies. Sports also gives those people a chance to get away from reality if only for a few hours. This helps them heal because they start to understand that's it's ok to laugh and have fun again. In my research paper I have quotes from people who feel the same way. I plan on giving other solutions to helping people heal in which I will agrue that sports is the most effective way for people to get on with life or at least get away from reality for a bit.

I truly think that redifining your research topic on how sports helps heal after tragedies is great because it is so true! I can still remember 9/11 and how the game of football and baseball helped people escape the harsh realities of such tragic events and were able to bring their lives back to a sense of normalcy if only for a few hours.
