Naming My Paper

In a research paper, one could argue that the title of it is as important, if not more important, than the abstract. This is because the tile of your paper is your first impression. Whether your studies are respected and admired depend a lot on the title. There is a misconception in the scientific community that the more confusing and verbose the tile of a paper is, the more credible and honorable it is. But the fact is that some of history's greatest studies had short, succinct titles. For example, JJ Thomson (renowned chemist) named his study, which was published as a book, Electricity and Matter. His title was brusque and straight-to-the-point. On the other hand, one mustn't risk having a title which is too vague. 

Here is my dilemma. I want a concise, brief name for my research paper, which will be studying the differences in schools in different countries and cultures, but I also want it to be informative. As I said in yesterday's post, I have yet to fill out my Intent To Participate. I have many ideas for the title of my paper:

1.) Dissimilarities in Education Among Individual Cultures & Communities
2.) Key Differences in Schools Among Individual Cultures & Communities
3.) A Cultural Theory: Dissimilarities Among Schools of Different Countries and Communities.
4.) (A) Theory of Culture: Dissimilarities Among Schools of Different Countries and Communities.
5.) How Does Culture Effect Education Systems Across the Globe?
6.) How Different are Schools in Different Countries Across the Globe?

I intend to pick a name in the next few days. Feel free to give feedback on how you believe I can improve the name of my paper. Constructive criticism is welcome :)

Remember to participate in my study if able to.

Adjustment on Focus of Paper

As the title states, I've decided to alter the focus of my research paper. Originally, my paper was to highlight the differences of schools based on culture. But now, I've decided to shift the purpose. Now, I plan to have a paper (name to be decided) on the question " Do more difficult schooling systems result in more successful people ?" For example, South Korea has a notoriously difficult education system. Does that mean South Korea produce more successful people per capita in comparison to other countries? America, on the flip side, is known for its mediocre school system. But, does that mean America is less likely to be home to intelligent people? I disagree. My hypothesis: Countries with more difficult educational systems are not more likely to have more successful people per capita. I believe success depends heavily on personal willpower and how you grew up. I intend to begin researching my paper tomorrow. My timeline looks a bit like this: December 17th...
