When researching any topic that I decide to chose, I feel as though I could bring new things to the table. I would use hands on methods that would attempt to get inside the people’s minds that I chose to interview or survey. My questions would be unlike any others, in the sense that I will attempt to make every question have the potential of making any person somehow connect personally and have them interested as well. No matter what topic I chose, I will make my research paper an informative one that will allow anyone who reads it to connect to the topic and to feel as though they have learned something new or to feel as though I have broadened their ideas about certain topics.
If I chose music as my research topic, I would like to know more about the history of music and how the messages in music affect young adults in their every day lives. Music is important because it is a huge part of my life. Being a dancer, I have always felt really connected to music and it has had an overwhelming influence on everything that I do. My research question would be, “Why does music have such a powerful impact on individuals aging from 18-23?”
If I choose young adults who have a parent with a debilitating parents as my topic, I would like to learn how it affects the children in all aspects of the phrase. This topic is important because my mother has a chronic pain condition and I have been taking care of her since I was fifteen. It affects my everyday life and I would love to see how other young adults cope with such a horrible, life strengthening event. My research question would be, “How could a young adult be affected if they’re parent had a debilitating condition?”
If I chose the affect that media has on society I would hope to learn more about the sometimes devastating affects of the media and why it is that society feels so obligated to conform to what the media has to say. This topic is important because I am planning on getting a job in the media field, therefore, this topic directly pertains to my future career. My research question would be, “Why does society feel so obligated to conform to society?”
If I chose the double standard that lies for women in society with emphasis on relationships, I would hope to gain knowledge on what the opposite sex thinks as well as how it differs from that of women. This is important because I myself am a female and I think this topic affects many individuals just like me and it gives women a bad name. My research question would be, “How are women affected by societies double standard, with emphasis on relationships with the opposite sex”?
If I were to choose the topic dealing with what parental methods are most effective and why, I would like to get feedback from other young adults whose parents have used different methods of raising their children and how do they think that it affects them. This topic is important to me because I myself have very strict parents, and although I hated them at the time, their method of raising me has affected me in a very positive way. My research question would be, “How do parent’s parenting method affect their young adult children?”
Do you think that parents who are not strict with little rules have the same affect on a child with a strict parents?
From my experience with people that I know, I have noticed that people whose parents are not strict, the children are prone to different life styles that sometimes gets them in trouble. I am not saying that that is the case in every situation however. In some cases, children with strict parents act out in rebellious ways as well when they break away from their parents rules.
I think you choose some very personal topics that could all be very interesting to research. I can relate to the very strict parents topic. I would be interested in how you would approach it. In my past experiences, children may lash out at their parents but that may not mean they are going to be rebellious for the rest of their life. I think having strict parents more of instills certain ideals and prominent life lessons that a person can be taught at a young age and sticks with them a lifetime. Good luck choosing your topic!
Yea, I can agree with you. My parents are very strict and I feel that if they weren’t like that with my brother and I, we would have gotten in a lot more trouble growing up.
