What is a good research paper topic?

Answer 1

First of all, what do you like? Maybe you're a dancer. Research how some dancers are pressured to be pole-thin, and how some develop eating disorders. Do you like video games or movies? Research the effects of violence on little children, and the purpose for ratings. I personally had a TON of fun discovering information on whether Roosevelt knew that the attack upon Pearl Harbor would occur, and just didn't do anything. Maybe you really like language or math. Look up how either of them were developed. You can discover how explicit lyrics affect young listeners. If you really like different cultures, look how one particular culture would live an ordinary day, or some of their rules. A hot topic could be debating about what makes a law a right, and who gets to decide what makes a law fair. You could study the corruption of the legal system. A fairly easy topic would be whether or not the death sentence should be allowed. I doubt that a school would allow this topic, but you could also look at abortion. It really depends on what you like. Make it interesting, so that you will be interested to look up more information on whatever topic you choose. It will be MUCH more enjoyable to write if you write about something you're passionate about or interested in.

That's what I did in school.
