There are many psychological and sociological theories that prove how people are persuadable join their adolescent years. This article explores away panel of children aged 13 and 16.

This article explores the different types of prejudices (homophobia, sexism, racism, xenophobia, etc) and how societal, economical, and political factors help create these prejudices. An empirical analysis was conducted by survey, and results show that the above prejudices are influenced by societal factors, political history, and other societal organizations. This article supports my need for research because it is a clear debatable argument that has empirical evidence to back up how societal factors indeed play a role in prejudices.

[Heading 3]. [Include a period at the end of a run-in heading. Note that you can include consecutive paragraphs with their own headings, where appropriate.]
