Thesis Topic and my Research Question
So, I’ve had quite a lot of trouble with finding a topic that I felt I could write about. My first idea didn’t really have an opposite side. In general, people would agree with my topic so therefore, I didn’t really have an issue. My other ideas were boring and I wouldn’t have had enough information to properly asses my argument. Finally, I decided to write about something that I’ve been involved with for years now. I wanted to write about suicide prevention. SO, my research question is going to be, “Is suicide an issue that we can do something about or is it something that is totally up to the individual to resolve?” I looked through the assignment sheet and couldn’t find any problems with my question. I could effectively answer all of the questions on my handout using my research question. I have plenty of background in this field to know where I stand and then to effectively persuade my audience to agree.
