help me out!

What could be very good topics, for a research paper?!?
I did one on the effects of violent video games on kids/teens. I liked that topic because there's a lot of evidence in both directions (some say they are harmful, and some say they are helpful...and in a good research paper, you should present both sides of the argument anyway).
Reply:What do you teach? Do you want to work with any of your fellow teachers? If you teach English, you can team up with the history dept. and allow them to pick subjects while you grade form, they grade content, same with science. If you teach social science, try putting a flat statement on the board and have the class support or reject it--great arguments both ways. It doesn't have to be a popular , controversial topic, just one that is readily researchable. Do violent video games breed violence in players or do violent people choose violent games?
Reply:Give us a further hint, please!
Reply:Definitely do something a little different! As important as Ghandi, the evolution of rock music, and the change in the environment ARE, your teacher would probably appreciate something a little different. Teach him or her as well! Let me think here...I'm super bored so I'll just throw out some ideas. :)
