Research Paper Topic

This is sort of a basic run through of what I will be talking about in my research paper.... open to all suggestions!


Provide background for the issues:
The Italian Mafia is best known for their fancy lifestyles and violent background. However, most people are unaware of their brighter and much more sophisticated side.

Summarize the purpose of your project and how you will accomplish it:
This paper will explain how the mafia, although highly illegal, was a very smart and organized crime system. If there were colleges for gangs, the Italian mob would have graduated from Harvard.

Include a "working title":
The Mafioso: What Most People Don’t Know

Indicate questions to be answered:
“Did any of the Mafias actions benefit society?”

“Were they caretakers? Or simply violent criminals?”

“How is the Mafia different from gangs in our modern society?”

First blog post

What up! I'm mark and this is my blog. I am doing this for my english class. I attend Purdue North Central in Westville, Indiana. I recently got a new job at Best Buy! Super pumped for it. Other than that I like to play guitar and hang out with my friends in my spare time. And as far as a problem myself and others are facing in the community goes, I think people in Valparaiso really need to learn how to use the simple thing we call a "roundabout". It's meant to help traffic flow by not stopping, therefore you don't stop on the roundabout! I know for a fact i'm not alone on this issue. That's about all I have to say... enjoy my blog!
