Potential Areas of Research

5 Potential Areas of Research

1)      Effects of Tanning

http://www.aad.org/skin-care-and-safety/skin-cancer-prevention/indoor-tanning

I want to research this because I only hear bad things about tanning.  I’m not too sure which side I would argue on, if it was wrong or if it wasn’t.  Obama has made many news laws on tanning so I would like to explore what those are and use them in my research.

2)      Gay Marriage

I would like to research gay marriage and I would argue that I don’t think that it’s wrong.  I think it steals the rights of homosexual individuals saying that they can’t get married.  I wouldn’t want to be too biased so I wouldn’t take it from a religious stand point or anything.

3)      Eating Healthy

http://www.livelifewell.nsw.gov.au/healthyeating/

I would choose this topic because obviously America has a problem eating healthy and it’s resulting in higher obesity rates.  I would argue that people should take more time out of their day to sit down and have a home cooked meal.  Fast food restaurants should limit some of their marketing because their food is so unhealthy.

4)      The dangers of texting while driving

Texting while driving has led to a lot of deaths and car accidents, especially with teenagers.  I would like to research the topic and argue the laws about texting while driving and how strictly they are or aren’t enforced.

5)      Legalizing Marijuana

I would choose this topic just to see where the research took me.  I would see what the costs are to enforce keeping marijuana off the streets.  I would also factor in if we taxed marijuana, then we might help our economy.
