Brainstorming for topics for the Issues paper


When writing this paper I am still confused why it is called Issues paper. I think I am missing something! What is the issue? This is the idea that instantly came to my mind during class.
Keep in mind that these are totally ideas for the paper. Nothing is final!

Reality TV and Globalization:
This relates to globalization because through the TV and Internet societies have become integrated on different levels. The Bachelor for example is popular not only in our nation but is also popular abroad especially in the UK. It connects us with those in other countries besides our own. Other TV shows such as American Idol or So you think you can Dance have an American version and then there is other versions in different countries. Australia has a So you think you can Dance. Because the TV shows are shown in different countries they integrate our society. People also know across the world who differently celebrities are because of reality TV.

I don't know if this topic is good or not!

  1. Hmmm that seems like a good topic to me! Just make sure you have enough information/sources to potentially give you 8-10 pages. But it sounds like it could be a good paper to me!

    PS: I totally LOVE your picture...haha ;]

  2. This sounds like a great topic! I am interested to see how you argue it. Are you saying that reality tv as a bad affect? Goodluck!

  3. I agree, reality T.V. can be so ridiculous! I'm writing about teen pregnancy and one thing that CONSTANTLY is showing up in my research is that show 16 and Pregnant. Reality T.V. is just insane and I'm almost positive you can find views and opinions that'll help your own. Good luck!
