Choosing a topic can be a hurdle. Here are some ways to make that decision.
Use these databases to scan a list of current controversial topics. Links with each essay may lead you to some articles (both scholarly and popular) as well. Most of the resources listed are NOT scholarly articles and many are opinion-based, but these can be useful for sparking your own ideas and forming your own arguments.
A few minutes invested in "pre-research" can make your entire research process more efficient!
Pre-research can be done by reading a few encyclopedia articles about your topic idea. Why?
