Erica1220 1 / 2 Jan 7, 2011 #1Hello I am rough around the edge with writing I have not been to school in over 20years, and I have my first paper to write personal bias on Juvenile gang and I am not sure how to start to write a bias paper on the intro of the paper. I appreciate any help not sure if I understand what to write on bias??
EricJ - / 48 Jan 7, 2011 #2Hi Erica,Can you explain the assignment a little better? What is the instructor asking you to do? What kind of bias are you looking for?Eric
OP Erica1220 1 / 2 Jan 7, 2011 #3Hey Eric A 5 page paper on your personal bias, 1 page describing the bias, 2 pages on where it came from, and 2 pages on what you've done or will do to become more open. ( This is a Mental Health/Chemical Dependency) so we have to address addiction in this population). I hope this help because i need help not sure how i should even struture this, for sub categories and ect...Thanks Eric

It was a busy month in January...I hope the paper went well, and I hope you give us another chance to be useful to you as you continue your class.When you have a project like this, start by reading a relevant article. It will give you ideas and inspiration, and then you can type up a little paragraph about it and quote it. Doing that, you will get maybe a few paragraphs.But after you have read something... for this project... you need to come up with some MAIN IDEA to share with the reader. How can you answer in a single sentence? What bias have you had about young gang members?So... step one... read something.Step two... succinctly write a basic idea that is the purpose of the whole paper.. an idea to share with the reader.Maybe that seems too simple, but if you have not been in school for a long time the hardest part sometimes is "beginning to do the work." Begin by reading an article you enjoy.Try to enjoy the writing, too!! :-)
