Choose five topics that you think are potential research topics for your paper and briefly (in 2 to 5 sentences) explain why these topics are of interest to you.


1. Obesity- I find this a great topic for my paper because it is crucial to discuss the unbalanced nutrition most of the individuals in the US are consuming. 

2. Eating Disorders- It is important to discuss the issue involving eating disorders like Anerexia and young individuals who die from this. 

3. Child abuse- It is significant to discuss this topic in the paper because it is important to be aware of what type of cruelty is in the world.

4. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder- This is also a great topic to talk about in the paper because it surrounds the issue on what some veterans faced during the aftermath of war. 

5. Animal abuse- Animal abuse and neglect occurs everywhere around the world. This plays into many types of situations and cases.

What cases can be made for or against X?

Obesity- I am for the involvement of government in controlling obesity because it seems that it is the only way that individuals will cut down on sugars and other unhealthy products.

Eating Disorders- I not am for the idea of how society promotes tin bodies as ideal which causes anorexia. I think this because insecurity is a major issue for females which triggers them to want to loose weight in an unhealthy fashion.

Child Abuse- I am for the case about violating privacy from the abusers to protect the children because if any individual is being hurt the police have the right to interfere to guarantee protection of the pupil.

Voting Fraud- I am not for voting fraud because it isn't fair to the electoral system. All individuals should be asked for some type of identity.

Animal Abuse- I am not for animal cruelty. Individuals who use them for entertainment and gaming causes them to suffer because of the force to interact with other animals more than usual.

2) What "ticks you off"?

Make a list of four or five things that "tick you off." Explain why. (Choose significant things that others might experience as well. For instance, your little brother might tick you off, but there is little chance that this annoyance will yield a possible paper topic). It is possible that one of these annoyances can be transformed into an interesting, engaging, and researchable project.

1) Something that ticks me off is when i get home from school and i check my fridge and theres nothing for me to eat. This annoys me because im starving and theirs nothing for me to consume. 

2) It ticks me off when i pour my cereal in a bowl and when i get the milk, my family leaves only two tablespoons of milk left. Like why not just finish it are you psychotic?

3) It ticks me off when my mom is very nosy and obnoxious to me. I will never keep a secret from her so she doesn't need to worry about anything. 

4) When people take my food without asking. I dont like people not getting permission to touch my things including food. 

5) When theres no wifi or it stops working. This means i have to use my data which is bad. 

6) When i am waiting for the bus for like half an hour in the freezing cold and the bus is running late. This ticks me off because i catch a cold most of the time as a result. 

7) When you bang your pinky toe on something. 

8) When you bang your hip on the side of a table. it feels like you got shot.
