Topic 3

The last topic I’ve considered for this I.C. essay is personal. I believe there is something seriously wrong with the way Child Protective Services runs. It has been my personal experience that no one wants to get his or her hands dirty when helping a child. It is probably easier to just write the child off as someone whom cannot be helped. I can’t imagine how many children are turned away from the doors of CPS agencies simply because f the fact that their problems are just not “bad” enough for CPS to step in. This is a topic I am extremely passionate about and actually is something I am considering turning into an occupation. I want to somehow help abused children by either joining the government or making a change within the CPS agency. I could easily write about this topic and form proposals on how to make a change.

Topic 2

Lamags asks, what are you passionate about. Saving the world I answer. How lame is that and yet that is honestly my goal in life. I’m pretty realistic about it considering I don’t think I’ll be able to do it. Question one is down; I want to save the world. I don’t think I could write only about saving the world though. So I’ve questioned what part of our world needs the most saving. Africa came to mind. That is definitely a topic I am passionate about. When I was a child I wondered why the U.S. has people pissing in gold toilets while Africa has millions of people dying of HUNGER and AIDS. Both could be somewhat prevented by other countries and humans. The issue of Darfur only compacts my sympathy toward the country. I first learned of Darfur when I read the book “What is the What?” Ever since I have wanted to do something for Africa. The I.C. could be that something.

topic 1

Upon first hearing the intended goal of the inquiry contract assignment I became incredibly excited. I could write about whatever topic I found interesting. This will be so easy I thought to myself.
Then I sat down and tried to think of a topic I was truly passionate over. I drew a blank. I considered abortion but I found the topic to controversial and an issue I’m a little on the fence about. I have already researched the issue and know it is incredibly complicated. To me there are two factors to take into consideration when deciding whether or not abortion should be legal. The first factor is to Research and decide when life begins in the womb. The other factor is to decide that even if you believe abortion is wrong, should you be making the decision of abortion illegal for everyone else to decide? The whole topic is messy and incredibly complicated. My argument would be weak and I really have no first hand experience with the subject.
