About my research process
Nicaragua has been a country heavily placed on my heart for awhile now, and it was a perfect topic for my research paper. I wanted to explore the struggles citizens in Nicaragua face daily, as a reminder of how blessed American citizens are. I found it fascinating how Americans travel to see Nicaragua's outer beauty as far as tourism, but never really dig deeper into the poverty issues the citizens are bombarded with. The hardships they face helped me find my hypothesis and later my thesis. I wanted to know how Nicaraguan citizens issues, like natural disasters or the impact of civil wars effect them daily. In closing of my research I wanted to explore how Nicaraguans overcome these issues and how they remain content.
Difficulties Faced During Research
One major problem I was faced with during my research process was finding individual sources that explained specifically what I was researching about Nicaragua. A lot of the websites I ran into didn't have the golden information I needed for my paper. I really had to dig and find what I needed. While looking for information about the hardships citizens in Nicaragua faced daily, I ran into a huge topic of tourism and volcanoes. Although the information was fascinating and I could include pieces of it into my paper, it was not what I fully needed. So finding what I really needed for my research topic was a huge difficulty. If I had any advice for anyone researching Nicaragua and picking a specific topic, I would highly suggest making sure you can locate lots of valuable information on the topic your trying to chose, because of the wide ranged elements Nicaragua has.
