ReplyDeleteTopic= Is America falling apart
BIG QUESTION=Is America falling apart
You could look at this from a political, cultural or economic standpoint. You might start with one focus and then branch out as needed/desired. Maybe talk with Carlos so you don't duplicate too much.
DeleteCulture
ReplyDeleteIs America falling apart?

See my comment under Joel's post.
DeleteDoes music create violence?
ReplyDeletehttp://lizzethgallegos2017englishivblog.blogspot.com/
To answer this you'll need to explore music beyond this country and this generation. If it does create violence then it will also do so in other countries and in other generations.

DeleteOuter Space
ReplyDeleteCan you survive in outer space?
https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8197031188879045645#allposts
Ummm, ya. We know this because we've already been to the moon. Do you mean survive in deep space, live in space, etc.

ReplyDeleteWhat are the ethical concerns with gene therapy and gene research?
Great topic.
DeleteEducation
ReplyDeleteWhat teaching methods are beneficial to society?
http://eligarcia2017englishivblog.blogspot.com/
"Beneficial" will need to be defined. Do you mean what methods help students pass standardized tests, become productive members of society, grow up to be happy, etc. However, I think this will be an excellent topic (of course, I'm biased.)
DeleteRacism
ReplyDeleteWhat is the root of racism conflicts, we have started seeing in the US?
http://biancadelatorre2017englisghivblog.blogspot.com/
How far back are you going to go? "Started" is a relative term. This is a very timely topic and I think you will find a lot of information and differing opinions.

ReplyDeleteUmmm, it already is legal. That is why we have all the wells throughout the US. Do you mean "Is fracking environmentally safe?"
DeleteGovernment corruption in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteHow is the government corrupt?
http://BrandonHaroutuniansBlog.blogspot.com/
Are you looking into the different types of corruption or the amount of corruption? Will you be focusing on historical corruption or do you want to focus on recent history surrounding corruption (or concerns about future corruption)?
DeleteSocial Networking
ReplyDeleteIs social networking beneficial to society?
http://enrique551.blogspot.com/
You could look into how it is changing the way we do business and also how it is changing your generation.
DeleteBig idea question: Does society do enough to help our most at risk youth?

ReplyDeleteDeath Penalty
ReplyDeleteIs the Death Penalty really necessary?
https://eduardoyanez2017englishivblog.blogspot.com/
Necessary is a broad word. Does the death penalty prevent crime? Does the death penalty safe tax payers money? Does the death penalty provide justice to victims? These are all interpretations of "necessary"
DeleteVideo Games
ReplyDeleteDo video games cause violence?
https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7831148449302712546#reading
Interesting topic. This was a big issue around the Columbine shooting, so you might do some research around that.
DeleteSocial Media
ReplyDeleteCan excessive use of social media contribute to addictive behaviors (drugs, tobacco, alcohol) or mental health issues?

ReplyDeletehttps://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=77714984540315128#editor

ReplyDeletehttps://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=9007148711973343764#allposts
This will be an interesting blog. You might need to expand it to discuss some of the ways that video games are being used in non-traditional ways such as training soldiers, brain research, etc.
