1. Should models be required to maintain a minimum weight to be allowed to work in the modeling industry?
Models should be required to maintain a minimum, healthy weight because of the effect it has on society, especially pre-teens and teenagers.
2. Should cell phone use be illegal in the US while driving an automobile?
Cellphone use in today's society is out of control; the use of a cellphone while driving in an automobile should be made illegal because it poses as a safety hazard to everyone on the road, and is a distraction to the driver.
3. What is the effect of the violent video games on aggression in children?
The popularization of violent video games in today's society has been cited as the reason for increased aggression in today's youth.
I could not come up with the other two, as I am still trying to decide what would be other appropriate topics for the research paper.
Any three of these topics would be acceptable.
ReplyDeleteThe first one may be hard to find data on (i'm not sure though). You would probably be looking at sources in health and nutrition. When you say "has an effect on society" that will be important to clarify and to be supported with research.
Cell phone use should be illegal is contestable, but again, I'm not sure what type of sources you'd be looking at. Perhaps accident reports due to cell phone use? You would have to be careful on this one to not repeat the same argument and really think about/refute arguments against you.
Violent video games is also an option--you could look at psychological studies. Again though, you will have to think of/address counterarguments in order to create tension in your paper
