Prompt 7: Topics
Choosing a topic for my research paper is a difficult task. I am really interested in different religions and what they believe in. A topic that I am currently considering is whether extremist groups and cults should have religious freedom. In the media, we hear about these radical groups and the harmful things they do. I would also like to analyze how extremist groups, like ISIS, gain seemingly harmless followers that participate in their radical actions. I would like to research more on this topic and the possible reasoning behind their actions. I think this research topic will have some challenges with finding information. Avenues of inquiry I will research could be the library and trustworthy online sources. A source I could analyze would be the extremist group’s websites or books they have written. Another topic that I have always had interest in is abortion. I have always been a pro-life supporter and would like to look more into the statistics. I know that this topic will have a pleather of information I can look into. I can use many trustworthy sources to back up my reasoning of both pro-life and pro-choice stances. I can also reference stories of people who have had abortions or anyone who had experiences with abortion. I went to the Pro-life March in Washington D.C. last January so I could use my experience as reference also. I think this topic will be easier to write about because I am already passionate about it, and I know there will be multiple sources to take information from. I have never written a paper on being Pro-life so it would be interesting to put my thoughts together into a paper format. I think both research topics are interesting, but it will come down to which topic offers more information.Â
