why do athletes choose legal actions that jeopardize their careers: before research

I became interested in this topic because I am a big sports fan, I love playing sports, and everyone has a favorite team and player. Sometimes these players would do something to jeopardize their careers. Fights in clubs, possession of drugs and weapons, rape charges, and even murder are things that some athletes get themselves into. Sometimes the athletes are the ones that are being mudered. Many athletes has lost everything because of their actions that they have made. I dont know, the players need a rush since that team their tam sucks and cant really win anything. Yeah, that might be it, i'll just throw a 7.5 million dollar contract a year away so I can watch my dog fight to its death. Wait, dogfighting is a better way to get money other than being one of the most paid quaterbacks in the league? I think not. I'll tell you what though, I'll get him a new dog and take his job, throwing footballs for millions of dollars.
So speaking of this, this brings my question into play that I was wondering about, what causes the modern athlete to get into legal trouble? What can they do to avoid these problems? Why would they throw it all away for a party or smoking illegal drugs?

research number 1

I was in class in Mckinley high School thinking of a what title I should use to find answers for my essential question. I thought of one and type in key success for freshman year in college. Immediately results were shown. I picked one website that was about a book that tells you ways to sustain freshman year. It didn't obtain any information that I was looking for. So I was in class at McKinley high school thinking about where should I begin. I went to google how to be successful as a freshman in college. I scrolled down the page and saw a article that give you 25 tips to have success as a freshman in college. The article by Randal S. Hansen provided vital answers that I was looking for. My ideas that I had were pretty close to his theory. The first few weeks on campus are extremely critical for all new students. It is during this time that you make critical decisions that will have effect on the rest of the life (Randal S. Hansen). Based on the article R. Hansen is recommending that all freshman should be sociable, independent, and smart with his or hers environment. I strongly agree with this. Now my question is what is the ratio of those who survive freshman year to those who don't?

my essential question.....

One day was on the bus coming to school,me and a friend where discussing about her english class and how they were doin greek and latin roots, and how many their are and how hard it is to remeber all, and then i had a epiphany. I thought to my self where did ebonic come from and who made it up, and tha history of its lingo. In the urban community ebonics is use very offen all over the u.s. i know ebonics is used everyday,i know cuz i use it on a almost everyday bases cause where i grew up from, i live in a urban community ive been living in a urban community for all my life so far.

Intro Of Inquiry

The concern of my freshman year in college didn't hit me until I received my acceptance letter . I wasn't sure if it was the excitement of receiving the letter or the simple fact of me going away for college. I began to watch a movie called Accepted. It is about how a group of friends create a college and began to experience the college life. During the movie my curiosity of my freshman year began to gain my full interest. Different thoughts, question and ideas became an everyday process.

The introduction 2 my research

So Mr mally want me to explain how we became interested in the subject that lead me to my question. Its kinda hard to say because ever since i can remember i loved music. From the hanging baby hypnotizer in my crib at the age 1 to this very moment music has always be with me. So yes its safe to say I'm a music fanatic i enjoy all aspects of it from production to promotion to the final product. I think i get this sense of love from my pops who is a musician/producer and also loves music. so with my question i tap into my other love an that making money(not the paper itself). Taking your music to the highest level and making it a good career. All the time i hear what would you love to do as a career and get paid for. My response to that question is "MUSIC"

coming up around music i think i know alot about the In's and OUT'S of hows its made an produced. I know how to make my own beats and an add in voice over an edit tracks an record. The basic to producing a album its not very hard, you just have to know what u want and work hard to get it to you liking. There are many great artists in this world and so horrible artists. What do you think makes artist good or bad? This leads to my question (foundation question) that will better help me to understand more about music.

So by now you know what my question is right?? Well if you don't my question is "What steps would yo take in producing a platinum selling album". This question includes the love of music an making money. what are the steps you would take to make this a top selling album. Does it have anything to do with the person's image? What about the type of music they make and what they talk about in their songs? Is the songs on the album ear catching to the public? If you choose to rap about positive things would that effect your album sells? These are all questions that will help me later come to a conclusion about my question.

Im 100 percent Pueto rican and over the years i have heard my family members argue over the same thing "should Puerto rico be a state of the US". Since i was born in Puerto rico i kno the customs and traditions that come with bein "Boricua". I see my self seperated from the customs of the US such as lil things as common food that we eat here, music that we listen to, and the main thing is the language that we speak. I ask my self and my family members wat will change if PR is called a state. What would really be different...?? I think that the only mojor change would be to have a moyor of PR instead of a governor, or will they try thing like have all puerto ricans learn english.
