Exploring Topics for My Research Paper


Hello!

The following are some topics that I have been considering for my English research paper:


Technology may be considered a new movement in culture, causing a new way of thinking.

This is one of the topics that I am considering writing about for my research paper. We touched on this topic when we had a debate about technology in my English class. When I heard this idea I became very interested in it. We also read an article for class that involved this theory. The theory discussed how people think that our brains are being rewired into working differently due to the advancement in technology and our dependence on it. This topic interests me so much because I think it is very true. I think that all generations go through their own types of changes in society, and this one involves my generation. I also believe that there is a lot of information available that could help me support my opinion about this topic. Some things I am looking to research about this more is the psychological differences that have occurred in the brain due to this new technology. In my opinion, people are becoming more efficient with this new technology making us great multi-taskers. I would like to see if there are signs of this being true.



The implementation of technology into college courses increases their skills and makes them more marketable in finding a career.

This is another topic that I came about throughout discussions in my English class. This is a topic that I have always agreed with, but I have never given much thought in backing up my opinion. This topic is highly debated within people that use technology and support it and people that don’t use technology often and are not in support of it. Where this debate interests me is when people that use technology often, but are not in support of it increases learning come involved. My interview with my Dr. Wilkie is what really gave me a strong opinion on this subject. The article that she suggested for me to read discussed strong signs of this topic being true and helping students tremendously. I would like to find out the new statistics of BTST students that are getting jobs with the new digital career portfolios, discussed in the article, over BTST students using old fashioned resumes. I would also like to hear the business perspective on this topic.

WISH ME LUCK!!
