    From the sources gathered, the researcher proposes to examine whether the negatives of shark fin soup outweigh its cultural significance, which has lasted for over 1,000 years. Most research concludes that shark fin soup has more negative effects than positives - it severely damages shark populations, is linked to neurodegenerative diseases in humans, and cultural traditions surrounding it have died out in many places. While it is historically and culturally important to some, evidence shows the practice is environmentally destructive and should be regulated or banned to protect shark species. Through this paper, the researcher aims to expose the many downsides of consuming shark fin soup and evaluate the importance of culture in this issue.

    Research Proposal

    From the sources gathered, I propose to research if the negatives of shark fin soup
    outweigh the cultural backing it has maintained for the past thousand years. Based on most
    research, there appeared to be one clear conclusion; shark fin soup tended to have more negative
    effects on quality of life than positive. Not only did it cause detrimental destruction to the sharks
    themselves, but evidence supports causation of neurodegenerative diseases in its human
    consumers. The counterargument to these propositions is that it is rich in historical meaning and
    culture. Almost every single source I used stated that the cultural tradition has died out, and new
    environmental laws should be implemented to protect the species. Through my paper I plan to
    expose the multifaceted negatives behind consuming shark fin soup, as well as the level of
    importance culture plays in said issue.

    SLO Connection

    For this SLO the composing process played a huge factor in the proposal. In order to
    understandably create an idea of what I would like to write about I needed to brainstorm ideas. In
    this brainstorming process new ideas and questions needed to present themself in order to
    coherently evaluate my research. This assignment also used rhetorical knowledge. In able to
    write my proposal I needed to be able to understand the backbone of all the sources I obtained.
