Today I am going to discuss what I have selected as the topic for my research paper due later in the school year. Choosing a research topic is never easy especially when it seems like you've covered every topic that interests you from research papers in the past. However after hours of hard deliberation and soul searching along with some Internet searching I've finally found something to spark my interest enough to write a thousand plus words on it.
Advertising is the topic I will be concentrating my research topic on. I want to focus on the morality of certain advertisement strategies and decide if some ads are so immoral (ie. cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, etc.), that they should be banned. I want to focus on this topic because I want to decide for myself if advertising companies have gone to far. I also want to see if there is any correlation between advertising and corruption in the society we live in today.
The reason I feel that this topic is important is because it's a topic that interests me. The say what separates a good paper from a bad paper is difference between having to say something and having something to say. I believe that with this topic I actually have something to say by focusing on a topic that deals with marketing and being a business student I feel that marketing is an area of applied interest for me to begin my research on.
Hi Cameron,
ReplyDeleteThis topic might actually be a little too big. Maybe just focus on one type of advertising (cigarette ads, for example). That might make it a little easier to handle. Or pick one issue and discuss it in relation to different types of ad. Either way: focus.
