1. The most interesting source I have found so far is a website that talks about how many medicines in our bathroom cabinets are more dangerous than steroids. It explains that the main steroid, testosterone, is used world wide by doctors to help patients feel better and slow down the aging process when used at the right dosage. The title for this article is Steroids for Health, and the author is Cy Wilson. It is interesting because it explains that steroids should not be viewed in the same category as crack, cocaine, meth and other drugs because steroids can be healthy in the right ways and are virtually impossible to overdose on. The article explains that we should be aware that the drug Aspirin is potentially dangerous and could cause death and how politicians are doing their best to ban the drug.
2. My topic hasn't changed any but my question has. I am still not sure if I will be able to find enough information about how steroids can be healthy and help people or if I will be able to find enough medical proof that this is true. Narrowing my research will help me find more details about my topic and answer my overall topic question.
3. A challenge I am facing is finding enough information that is fact and not opinion, information that has been proved by doctors and professional trainers who have used steroids themselves.
Cody, where is your first post? Why aren't they on the same site?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this topic is interesting. I mean, doctors prescribe steroids when you have an allergic reaction. Last time I took steroids was when I broke out in hives in a reaction to amoxicillin. Steroids, in that sense, can save people's lives since allergic reactions can be deadly. My suggestion is to keep digging, and ask for help at the reference desk or via the library's online chat.
Also, this doesn't have to be a "black and white, right and wrong" topic. Perhaps you will come to some complex conclusions about steroids, and that is OK. Your challenge might be to make your topic worthwhile. If you come to the conclusion, say, that steroids are helpful when they're not abused, then maybe that's just common knowledge? What's your spin? How will you come at this?
ReplyDeleteI will go back and do the first blog
