Research papers, every college student has to do at least one throughout their college career. For me this will probably be one of many that I have to do. I haven't done a long research paper since freshman year of high school so I'm going to have to clear out the cobwebs. The first stage and honestly the hardest (for me at least) is choosing a topic. There are so many topics out there and variations of certain topics its hard to just narrow it down to one. There's also an added pressure of making the topic original so that the teacher doesn't find your paper boring to read because they already know so much about it.
So far, after taking the easy route of googling possible controversial issues to write on, I've come across four or five that stood out to me most.
"Do we pay to much for college education?"- this topic especially interests me because I'll be the one paying for my college debt in four years when i graduate and when my future kids go off to college, I'll be paying tens of thousands of dollars for their education too. So this really strikes the topic of is it worth paying a university 30-40 thousand dollars a year to attend their classes?
"Should we pay college athletes?"- Another topic that interests me. While I am not a varsity college athlete, I am a former athlete and still love playing sports. However, I don't think paying college athletes would be fair which is why researching this topic would interest me a lot.
From researching, I've also been able to eliminate some topics that I really couldn't care less about. For example, any topics related to politics or most of the environmental issues doesn't interest me as much. After running into some of these questions, I was able to eliminate them from my list of possible project ideas.
