SOC 2100: Modern Social Problems
Where do I start?
It all begins with your topic.
- State your TOPIC in terms of you would like to find out about: "I would like to explore ..."
- For example: I would like to explore attitudes toward corporal punishment in various countries.
- State that you are exploring this because you want to discover who, what, where, or why.
- For example: I am exploring this because I want to know if there are different attitudes toward corporal punishment in Japan and the United States.
- (More focused yet: I would like find out if attitudes toward corporal punishment in the schools are different Japan and the United States.)
