Reflection of Research paper

When it came about that we were supposed to write a research paper, immediately I knew what I wanted to do. The APA ethical guidelines have been changing since the 80's in order to regulate experiments that were preformed unethically and written off. However, I see these experiments in a different light and although unethical I knew I had to share that I believed they were some of the greatest experiments of all time due to everything that was discovered about behaviorism by preforming them.
When writing this paper I found it extremely difficult to write. Unfortunately I'm not very good at writing an argumentative paper where you technically aren't allowed to choose a definitive side. If it was the type of paper where you could choose a side, and defend that side, that would have probably been a lot easier for me.
Firstly I found it difficult to write non definitive statements in my text, and when I did in the beginning it was corrected. Also I found it hard to write about a topic that not many people have knowledge about because when they read my thesis, not being a psychology major, they don't understand much about the early experiments in psychology and although they were unethical how they uncovered so much about behaviorism and it's relation to human reaction it was necessary. Many didn't understand my thesis so it was hard to explain since I've been learning about these things since high school and others haven't even seen a psychology textbook.
Secondly, it was interesting to research about these experiments in depth since I have been interested in them for a long time. I tried as much as I could to connect them to text and explain what about them was unethical all the while trying not to pick a side too much, but "explain" both of them. Even though my paper probably sounds pretty one sided since I don't really know how to write an argument paper without fully picking a side.
The research based paper compared to the informational paper differed in basically what we were supposed to write about. They both needed sources and they both took quite a good deal of time to write, but the research based paper was supposed to be written about a controversial topic that you are interested in that explains both sides of the argument. The informational paper was written about writing in your major. It used interviews and sources where as the research paper was entirely sources from the internet. The informational paper wasn't really two sides being argued, but just three pages of basically stating how something is done or used.
