How Will YOU Change the World?

"If you want to make a better world, you have to make a better you".   ~ Bill Cosby


STEP 1 - Learn to do DEEPscholarly research

 

Scholarly/Peer Reviewed/Academic Level Research

FROM OTIS UNIVERSITY



Comparing Popular Magazines and Scholarly Journals
(From Joseph P. Healey Library, University of Massachusettes, Boston)


Reading Academic Journal Articles (From SUNY Brockport)


STEP 2 - CHOOSE YOUR TOPIC

What are YOU passionate about? 

What would you do, even if no one paid you to do it? 

Think about this poem by Fredrick Manfred

What about you, boy?”

Is your work coming along?
Are you still making candles
Against darkness and wrong?
The whole thing is to blast.
Blast and blast again. To fill the
Black
With songs, poems, temples,
paintings,
Anything at all. Attack. Attack.
Open up and let go.
Even if it’s only blowing. But blast.
And I say this loving my God.
Because we are all he has at last.
So what about it, boy?
Is your work going well?
Are you still lighting lamps
Against darkness and hell?
