Hw 55

Part 1:
My question: "Is therapy as effective as medication for treatment of stress and depression?"

Yu-Xi: Your question is interesting, but potentially difficult to investigate. In order to make it easier, you may want to chose one specific aspect of bonding to investigate in depth. For example, you could ask 'What are some common situations that lead to deepening romantic relationships?' You could also try to make your question easier to research by making it more scientific, so that there would be more concrete evidence available.

Devin (section 1) :
This is a really good question. The only room I see for improvement is in the word 'qualities', you may want to tighten that up a little. On the other hand, I think it would work just as well as it is if you then define specific aspects in the thesis of the paper itself.
