Choose a topic that is simple if you wanna message me a couple of ideas I can let you know which one I would prefer

Often the hardest part of beginning a research paper is determining an idea. Sometimes that's because we second-guess ourselves about whether our idea is a good one. In this Discussion, you will submit your Argumentative Research Paper Proposal to get some feedback on the direction of your research. However, before you submit your proposal, you will communicate with your peers in this discussion to share your ideas about what you might like to investigate. An argument is an issue that can be debated; therefore, select a topic that would provide a foundation for some controversy. For example, butterflies are not controversial. However, a proposal that green spaces should be set aside from public lands to aid in the conservation of butterfly species might be. The level of controversy should also be a well-balanced. Do your best to avoid a highlycontroversial topic - especially if you lack perspective about it. It is very difficult to write a credible essay when you feel very strongly about a topic that you are unable to acknowledge the counter-argument. If you end up relying too heavily on emotion, and not credible sources to make a point, then you run the risk of alienating your audience. You do not want to take this risk since your audience is not going to be persuaded to see the validity of your claim. Consider the following when choosing your topic: 1. Choose a topic that you care about enough to sustain your interest throughout this course. 2. Develop an argument based on quantifiable (or measurable) reasons. Though you can still appeal to emotion, you need to base your argument on facts and concrete evidence. In other words, you can't argue, for example, that smoking is wrong just because you grew up with a parent who smoked and you hate the smell of smoke. You can, though, argue for a smoking ban using reasons based on fact, such as the healthcare costs of secondhand smoke or the reduction in litter since in cities that have banned smoking. 3. Choose a topic about which you can be the expert and one that really lets your active voice be the dominant tone among the source material. You may wish to choose a topic related to your field of study, for instance, about which you wish to know more. 4. Here are some topics that rarely work well. Avoid these topics: • Abortion (for or against) • Issues surrounding gun ownership (for or against) • Capital punishment (for or against) The above topics often fail because the students who choose them are unable or unwilling to consider other perspectives and because they often plagiarize. There are hundreds (thousands?) of free papers online that address these issues, and sometimes the temptation to use these is too great for some students to resist. Please Read These Directions Carefully! For this Discussion, compose an initial post that includes the following: 1. The topic you have chosen 2. Five questions that you will want to know about your subject that might guide your research 3. A few ideas about where you will begin looking for the answers to those questions 4. Ideas about other materials, including media, you might use to support your project You should pay attention to your classmates' questions and responses as you refine the elements of your proposal. When responding to your classmates, be sure to provide suggestions about how they might improve or narrow their topics, additional questions they may want to research and additional ideas for sources that would be useful.
