When asked the question of what I am contributing to the question that was posed, the answer is a process. In the beginning when I selected this topic, I realized that we were supposed to go into with an open mind. If you don't do this, your paper is going to be controlled by biases that you have created and presented to the reader. So when asked this question, I think I have contributed a new opinion on the topic.
I didn't just write a ten page essay on what I thought was wrong with the voting system in America. I took information that was being present to me and formed my own opinion. So, in essence, I created another piece of work that could be used for someone else to form a new opinion on. I took the individual ideas on individual topics rather than reading essays that looked at everything that they found wrong. So by doing this, I was able to get a more in depth look at arguments rather than a limited view on the problem as a whole. By doing this, this allowed me to take all of the information that was presented to me and form an entire argument on the whole situation.
Not only is my essay creating a new opinion on the topic of voting in America, it offers a large quantity of information that is able to compare. When I am giving the reader a look at the argument from both sides and then a summary of my idea on those texts, I am giving them the choice to make their own assumptions. If I were to present this topic and then only look at my side of the argument, the entire essay would be a biased look at the voting system in America. If the entire essay is a biased look, I am not meeting the goals of an Academic based research paper.
