So after looking over many of the topics on procon.org, I think I have chosen to write about teacher tenure. I had created a list of different topics I could do, some on the website and some not, I was thinking that my decision would be based on something which could be influenced by religion. I was thinking about researching the debate about people being gay at birth, taking the side that yes in fact, some people are born gay but can overcome it, just as God gives pretty much everybody else difficulties which they could overcome, like a tendency for heterogenic immorality, pornography or drinking and drug problems. However as I further researched the idea I realized that I would not have as an enjoyable time without quoting our modern day prophets as experts in moral issues. Without the religious element, I do not think I would have enjoyed and learnt as much as I desired from studying this topic.
So I kept looking and thinking about what kind of topic I would like to research. I decided that I want to research a topic where there might not be that strong of feelings, where it might not be that much fire and emotion on either side. I now expect to write with a lot of pathos, which will hopefully take the reader aback by the comparison of the emotions of all other players in this debate. I think that this will help establish my paper and make it stand out.
As I looked over topics I thought about writing about teacher tenure. My big fear however is making it interesting enough to last for 8 pages, it’s like Sister Elliott said if I get bored of it before I’m done, my writer will definitely have a hard time.
So now that I’ve chosen this topic, I am already second guessing myself. I’m now thinking about researching the debates: 1) Should America switch to Nuclear Energy? 2) Should America have the 2 party system? 3) Under God in the pledge? 4) Death Penalty? In the next few hours I hope that I will be able to choose from among these 5 worthy topics.
