My Research Topic :)

Hello all! I'm so psyched about finally being able to "speak" without writing down words on a paper! Blogging is so much more down to earth and friendly, and I can't wait to finally have the time to think things through.

For my research topic, I chose Asthma and the leading factors that make it so popular, as well comparing that research to people who are born with it! In other words, I want to know the difference. Why is it that some people are born with Asthma, and other people get it later in life? I was especially interested in this topic because...I was born with Asthma and have met others who have just recently gotten it.
This topic is timely because there are so many things dealing with Asthma alone and there are tons of new books being written about it every day. I think it is important to know about the leading factors that cause Asthma because we need to start taking better care of ourselves. As a person who has had it all of her life, I for one can't really say I know what its like to live without Asthma, but if I could...I would!
I think there will be tons of information! There are so many environmental problems and I can't wait to "breakdown" that info. Plus, they are just now starting to come out with better inhalers!
After following certain scholars, I have learned that while many would agree that Asthma is caused by environmental factors, some say it deals with genetics. Apparently there is still much to learn! I would agree that Asthma is caused by genetics partially, because my brother had it as well as my great grandfather, yet have known people in their later years who seemed to get it randomly. Why?! And is this Asthma that they have as bad as mine? I've had it forever yet, can't imagine it being worse for people based off of the enviroment. For if so, what kind of place is this earth we so easily call home?

More to come
