In pursuit of "Kids Voting" program we need to explore the rational reasons of why we
vote.
Propaganda, stereotyping, and over-generalizations are factors we need to be aware of.

LESSON 5 - How to Write a Research (Term) Paper
The three elements of writing a Research (Term) paper consists of: 1) Thesis (or Introduction), 2) the Body (mid-section of the paper), and 3) Conclusion.

I will give you an example of a thesis statement: The arrival of foreigners in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries created an impact upon Hawai'i. The political, social, and economic factors introduced by western influences had an adverse (and a few beneficial) effects upon the natives and Hawaiian institutions. Whalers, traders, explorers, and missionaries came to Hawai'i for various reasons and forever changed Hawai'i.
The body of the term paper is where the supporting statements and examples are placed. The following is an outline of the body:
I. Social
A. Foreigners brought diseases to Hawai'i.
1) Diseases killed thousands of Hawaiians each month over many decades.
a) Leprosy, smallpox, tuberculosis, etc.
B. Introduction of Christianity

Definition of "institution" - an institution is any structure of social order governing behavior of a
