Mind is Might

I am still a little tentative about my topic, but so far I am choosing to research how the mind works, especially when different kinds of people are put into different situations. I am fascinated by the way different kinds of people react to different things. I searched the web and found a website that explained pretty generally how the brain works. Here are a few things I learned:

- The brain weighs roughly three pounds, and is estimated to have 100 billion cells.

- Most of these cells are neurons (on and off switches) which shoot electrical impulses down a "wire".

- The brain is approximately 75% water.

It is great that you have an intrest in your topic; that will make this paper much easier to write. Your topic is way too broad and will be very difficult to address properly in one hundred pages let alone eight to ten. Perhaps pick one specific stimulus and how that affects a specific population.

I think this is interesting information that with more research could be a very interesting paper.

I know you said that you are still a little shaky on your topic, but maybe something that would help your research is to come up with a more specific idea to research. If nothing else, this will spark different ideas and lead you to your final product.
