This week we learned about the importance of a strong research question. Please cite your research question followed by some background information on your topic. Provide at least one reference that was used to develop your research question.
You could pick a topic you already know something about and build on that knowledge over the course of this class
You could pick a topic about something that you would like to know more about. It could be a country, event, person, or group, for example.
You could pick an issue that is debatable within the homeland security field about which you cannot speak with sufficient knowledge.
You could pick an issue that people outside the homeland security field misunderstand or debate, like the importance of transparency in a democracy when intelligence analysis and collection is based on secrecy, for example.
You could pick a topic area on which you intend to focus, so your research will deepen your understanding and prepare you for other coursework. For example, if you are interested in domestic terrorism, you might consider framing a question about the role of education, culture and demographics on an individual's motives.
