This paper is broken into 3 main parts: In the first part it is a description of the research question, which is: How parenting styles differ in practices and effectiveness? This section can also include a pop culture resource if necessary. Also discuss topic choice being due to an interest in how different parenting styles have different outcomes. The second part is summarizing academic sources that must be reputable scholarly articles, and there need to be 5 articles from academic journals or books used. These must be properly cited in text, and on the works cited bibliography page. I did find one of the sources that I would like to be used: http://www.des.emory.edu/mfp/302/302ParentingStyles.pdf The final paragraph is for conclusions and should include an explanation for the conclusions. I would like it if in the second part, which is the main part, there is a paragraph for each of the four parenting styles: Authoritative, Authoritarian, Permissive-Indulgent, Permissive-Indifferent, and that each of those paragraphs includes an explanation of the style, and in text citations from an academic resource for each one as well. Double spaced, 12-point Times New Roman Font. No cover page necessary, just a heading on the first page left top corner with name: Brittany Tokar class: Sociology 361 - The Family class meeting time: Tuesdays/Thursdays 9:30am. Also, a header with name: Brittany Tokar on each subsequent page. 7 pages plus works cited/ bibliography page
