Finally, a Topic!!!

Welcome back!! For this blog post we had to do an exercise on brain storming. I did not know my topic for which I would research. First, I had to brain storm under the following words: Places, trends, technology, people, controversies, jobs, habits, and hobbies. It might not make very much sense to you but that okay, as you read further it will be clearer. Then we had to answer these questions about something we brain stormed to find out what exactly would be good for a topic: Is this something that raises questions that research can help answer? Are they potentially interesting questions? Does this item get a something I’ve always wondered about? Might it open door to knowledge I think is important, fascinating, or relevant to my life? Finally, I picked my topic! I chose Love and what exactly the brain does when you “fall in love” or are “in love”. I have been really curious if the brain and heart have any connection or just what the brain functions are of “love”. Lastly, we had to ask questions about the topic. The questions are used to keep my curiosity going about the topic, so I can maintain being passionate about it.

            I never tried something like this before and I had no clue what I was going to write about. I have many interests but never really took the time to sort them out and if I would have tried to sort them out it would have been a complete failure. I would highly recommend this method if you are ever writing a research paper, even if you know what you want to write about. Just because it might spark multiple interests and you might be able to combine a few topics to make it an all-around full paper with great information.

Places: Beach, mountains, ski roundtop, Maryland, Delaware, liberty mountain, kenbrook church camp, Hershey, car garage, H2o international, barn, New York, Haiti

Trends: leggings, bandannas, tattoos, piercings, crop tops, boots

 Technologies: iphones, ipads, phone watch, droid, smart cars

People: famous, poor, talkative, boring, fun, friends, relationships, love

Controversies: Abortion, homosexual, gun control, pledge, religion in schools

Jobs: hard to find, part time, minimum wage, benefit, health insurance, unemployment, government

Habits: biting nails, smoking, drugs, unhealthy, ruining body, devotions, quiet time, concentration

Hobbies: horses, cars, knitting, friends, laughing, talking, driving, singing, band, guitar, worshiping

Are they potentially interesting questions?

Does this item get a something I’ve always wondered about? Might it open door to knowledge I think is important, fascinating, or relevant to my life?
