Progress #5

Today I did some more research and started to decide what sources I wanted to use and the ones that I did not need. I also started working on how I was going to construct my paper.

I think I have decided on what my audience is going to be, although this was a difficult decision because it affects my whole paper. The audience I believe I will direct my paper to is expectant parents and parents with new born children because they will have to make the decisions to get their child vaccinated during the early few years of life and that is when the child could be affected by the vaccines.

It is interesting because I need to find more articles that show an actual connection between autism and vaccines. Most of the websites I have found disprove the idea yet there is still a controversy. For tomorrow, I plan on doing a little bit more research and then I will actually start writing my paper.

I really like that your audience is the people that this will effect the most. These parents have to make the decision whether to give their child vaccines knowing that it could cause autism. I also am still interested in the fact that there is no actual connection between autism and vaccine, yet this controversy affects a lot of people.
