Research Proposal

Answering the 3 questions Ballenger asks when conducting a research proposal, I resulted with the following:
1. Why doesn’t the government put Polar bears on the Endangered Species List as “Threatened”?
2. Additional questions that intrigue me on the subject are: ‘why isn’t the importance of science, including Polar bears within that, being taken more seriously?’, ‘why can’t the government overrule individual governor’s of each state’s rules?’ My thesis is: Polar bears should be put on to the Endangered Species List as “threatened”. The theory that my topic is testing is that of Polar bears, and their living conditions, not being reduced to a minimal of none, and that not being important enough to help them seek refuge on the Endangered Species List.
3. Prior beliefs, assumptions, ideas, feeling, or prejudices that I had before beginning research on this topic were supporting my thesis. I feel no animal should be in harms way. I feel if a government goes through all the time to make up an act to save animals in danger, then they should follow the rules. Just because an animal has the coincidence of living on the same turf as one of our globe’s critical resource (gas/oil) shouldn’t be a reason to deny them life (i.e. putting them on the Endangered Species List). Also, I feel with me being an animal owner, it’s made my heart and beliefs of animals rights, sensitive to the well-being of whichever that specie is.
