Most of my English Teacher's comments on my papers are "contextualize topic" i don't get the idea.. what exactly am i supposed to do?
If it helps, the paper is a research about euthanasia and whether it should be legalized in the US or not

I suppose the comment "contextualize topic" means something like you need to relate your statements better with the context (or setting) of the topic. For instance, if you make a statement, support it within the context of euthanasia and legalization -- support it, rather than just making the statement.
I would also seek clarification from the instructor as well to make sure this is what he/she means. Some instructors mean different things in their comments.

the word itself means "To place (a word or idea, for example) in a particular context". So maybe your teacher would like you to add more quotes and textual references to your writings. or specific instances that you can cite.

to put (a linguistic element, an action, etc.) in a context, esp. one that is characteristic or appropriate, as for purposes of study.
