My Research Proposal

My research topic will be about geisha and the cultural history of it to the future of geisha, what and they do as geisha, and the questions of why women of Japan wanted to become geisha to begin with and what their purposes are to their family. This is my first topic that I choose for my research and I hope you approve it.

Reasons for choosing topic
I am choosing this topic because I wanted to learn more about why women in early history make this choice of being a geisha, and even though I know from some reading that it was sometime a bad choice to make. I also choose this topic because I was interested in the outfit that they wear, how they perform for the guest and the makeup that they wore.
The topic is going to be about the background of geisha, from the beginning to the present. Do they still have geisha going on today? What is the purpose of all this performing and how they do it?
How does it affect other people today?
Do I disagree or not about having women becoming geisha today?
Why they do it?
Is there a male geisha?

Is there anything similar to geisha that is from all over the world or Asia?

The keywords I am using:
geisha
women
Japanese women
Japanese cultural
performing
makeup and hair do
white painted face
Japan

my second topic

My second topic choice is going to about one-child law and why they have this law in China. The thing is about this that the couples are only allow to have one child during their life time. What if they have this law in America as well?

Reasons for topic
I was interested about one because of the terrible law they have in China for married couples. I don't like it a bit. I heard that if people had more than one child , the Chinese governments wouldn't help them. But if they have one child, they will get all the help the couples need and want which is the opposite of what we do in America. If the family have more children than the amount of money they make , the government will surely help. The questions I have for this topic is why do the Chinese started this law and who?
What will happen to the children being born as a second child?
When did the law became a law and how?
Do other people in other countries agree to this or not?
Is this even a right thing to do?

my third topic

My third choice is about me being a model or not. Even though I can be good at posing like a model, but I don't like to get my pictures taken by anyone other than myself.

Reasons for topic
Even though I'm too short to be a model, but I am actually good at it when I try it. But sometimes I wonder is there any short models around that actually posing for a camera. And it would be interesting for me to find out about them. It's also take a lot of effort to become one too. I would like to find out the step on how to be a model as well as the rules we all have to follow when becoming one.
The questions I would use for my research are am I worth becoming a model even if I don't want to getting my pictures taken?
What do I have to do first to get accepted as one?
Where do I go to get started and where is the popular place to be in?
At what amount to they pay for taken one good picture?

first post

My experience with research isn't so bad. The first research I have done was in middle school ands it was about picking the president of the U.S. I had to research from my middle school library and write interesting facts about him. I did his background, past and what he did during his terms. I did good job with it because I finish it and turn it in on time.

I still have troubles with research because I cannot write more than 5 pages and have problems writing more than what I can. Sometimes I have hard time of thinking what to write. Other time I have hard time writing the topic that was given me. I always have problems with researching the subjects and try to write it in my own words. I mean I can write but it's just hard for me to do more than what I can.
