International students have in recent years come to constitute a large proportion of the worldwide student body in the higher learning institutions. There is hardly any country that is unaffected by the presence of international students in its institutions of higher learning (Paige, 1990) (As cited in Lackland, 2000). As a result, this leads to my two research topics. The first one is “Do international students feel difficult to adapt into school social life with locals?” and the second one is “Are most of international students more hardworking than the local students?”. Why is it so important to study these topics about international students?

Interviews can be a time-intensive evaluation activity because of the time it takes to conduct interviews, transcribe them, and analyze the result (Boyce, C., & Neale, P., 2006).

The major limitations are the following: - ‘All’ studies had a small number of enrolled COPD patients, ranging from 16 to 92 participants. A fact possibly due to the strict criteria for patient inclusion and the severity of the disease of the patients evaluated. It could be that if the sample size was larger many papers could have confirmed greater differences. - 3 studies (Knowles et al., Lewis et al. & Rogers et al.) were +20 years old.

Gun control laws have been a hot and controversial topic for some time now. Many different parties have argued with each other about applying laws that will control firearms in the U.S. I chose to write about this debate because I do not have a personal opinion on the matter, I do not own a gun or am an enthusiast, neither do I argue for gun restrictions. Many argue with points that it is written in our constitution our natural right to bear arms, while others argue that if we remove the ability to use a firearm or a weapon that is designed to kill someone, we will ultimately reduce or remove violent crimes in the U.S..
