My topic for this research paper is lowering the drinking age to 18. The reason I chose this topic is because it is a very controversial topic and can be viewed in many different ways. Some people feel really strongly
about lowering it while others feel really strongly about not lowering it. Then there are the ones who just don't care. My thesis statement will be the drinking should be lowered from age 21 to age 18.
For my research, I will definitely use the internet a lot. The internet contains facts about the subject as well as opinions of people. It also contains debates on the subject which will be very helpful to use in my paper. I also plan on using people in general for my research. I will probably conduct somewhat of a survey to see what most people seem to prefer. I will probably look up books on the subject and get sources from there or magazine and journal articles as well.
Because I believe that the drinking age should be lowered for many reasons, I may encounter many problems in dealing with people and opinions who don't think it should be lowered. I need to make sure I have enough research to back up my stance on the topic so that I am ready to debate well on it.
