Here's the true story of how I approached your assignment:
- I looked at your textbook for broad ideas > I settled on genetic disorders > I narrowed it down to single-mutation disorders > I narrowed it down further to sickle cell disease.
- I did some googling on sickle cell and came across this page on the stigma around sickle cell disease in Uganda > I decided the best way to fight stigma is to provide facts.
- I read about sickle cell disease on Wikipedia > I learned that the sickle cell trait is actually protective against malaria.
- I learned more about sickle cell's relationship with malaria by finding a primary research article on that topic.
