"what we find changes who we become" -peter morville how does this idea relate to the research process? write a mla paragraph explaining the significance of research and what you believe it will or will not do for you as a student and as a person.

Research can be described as investigating a topic with the use of different materials and sources in order to reach new conclusions and establish facts. There are some steps to follow to be able to conduct a research, some of them being: defining the research problem or topic, review the known information, formulate a hypothesis, collect data, analyse data and report.

"What we find changes who we become" relates to the research process because sometimes we start this process with something in our mind and a set conclusion but during the process of research we will be able to find more facts than we already know and this will change our thoughts and previous conclusions. After discovering new information and back it up with more sources that come to the same conclusion, we will change our ideas and come to new ones, that maybe, were different than we always believe. Research will be able to expand our view of things and add new facts to our ideas. We will be able to create new conclusions and back them up with the new facts we discovered, that in a way, changes us.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
