Curiosity fuels the mind
Inquiry
Both of the authors, Lynn Raymond and Mariah Olsen had questions that came about because of their curiosity, and these questions had such an integral part of their life because they both dedicated a substantial amount of time into doing their research on their questions.
I found something interesting as I was going through Olsen's article on boredom. She has to develop a question for her freshman writing class and while doing so she comes up with a hypothesis that the "[Default Mode Network] (DMN) activity is like homework for our brain -- it's unnecessary, but also (by definition) not stimulating." (Olsen, 2016). Her hypothesis was proven to be wrong by a scientist in the field, but she did not give up and asked more questions. She was so intrigued with the topic that she did her own research into the matter and came to a conclusion on the stimulation of the DMN.
Personal Experience
When my father was incarcerated I did a lot of research on the immigration system, and the types of relief my father could apply for. Also, as I was doing my research I wrote notes on different forms of relief and categorized them on the likelihood that my father would be able to win the forms of relief. I also did some more research on the amount of cases that were won with each form of relief.
I had one question that caused me to do research on multiple things to help give me a better understand of what I was asking. As my research went on my question kept changing, but I do not believe this was a bad thing because in order to get an answer you cannot just look at one thing.
