FOR EXAMPLE (do not use this for the paper, just to get an idea): finding a newspaper editorial that says we need to get tough on crime by increasing punishment. the author therefore wants you to believe that increasing punishment will reduce crime. then you would have to clearly say that this is what the author is saying (question 1) and then find your research that examines whether increasing punishment actually reduces crime. your research question would be “the author of the news article says that increasing punishment will reduce crime. is that true?” finally you would find research that talks about about why harsher punishments do or do not reduce crime rates.
