Choosing a Topic

• Before choosing a topic, review the Research Paper Instructions posted to Canvas.
• Then, think of an ethical dilemma related to your major or career goals.
• You can choose a topic that has been in the news for a while, such as climate change or gun control, or you may find it interesting to research a newly-emerging topic, such as cultural appropriation, artificial intelligence, or issues arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. It can also work to choose a topic connected to a specific job, such as how psychologists should approach ___, how real estate brokers should approach ___, etc.

• Questions

  3. What are a few key issues you hope to explore in your research?
