Too much information?
Try limiting your topic to one of the following aspects:
Theory | Limit your topic to just one school of thought. EX: your topic concerns the effects of television on children-->narrow your approach to social learning theory. |
Sub-Topic | Explore a specific aspect of your topic. EX: your topic is human cloning-->investigate government regulation of cloning. |
Time Span | Choose a specific time period. EX: your topic is assisted suicide-->contrast public attitudes in the 1980's versus the 2000's. |
Population | Focus on a specific age, sex, race, occupation, species or ethnic group. EX: on a topic in genetics, examine specific traits as they affect women over 40 years of age. |
Location | Consider a geographic analysis. EX: if your topic concerns cloning, investigate cloning practices in Europe or the Middle East. |
