I am finding it hard to pick a controversial topic that hasn't already been done and one that I am truly passionate about. I posed the question to some of my co-workers and they were able to give me some good ideas...like child discipline and allowing gays to serve openly in the military. Since I don't not have first hand experience in either of these, I don't have any children of my own nor do I know any that is gay that is offended about the laws restricting them rights. I pondered so more, because I feel to do my best work I would have to be truly passionate about it. So then I went out and searched the world wide web, it has everything right?
Well it did help me, the web that is, because I think I have found my topic of discussion/debate. The Pledge of Allegiance, the whole debate with removing it from our schools and the opposition to "Under God". My next step is the library to find my sources, this should be fun. I already have a head start for my argument after taking a history class this past spring, with talking about the documents written by our Founding Fathers that so clearly intertwined religion with law. Lets see where this takes me...I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be an exciting journey and hopefully a shift of paradigms.
