Research Paper

The essay is research papers in some way, they are really to focus on the critical thinking component. In other words, you’re not reporting anything. You are exploring the process of things, why you think what you think, and how that thought process happens.

This essay will be about race/class/religion. You have a very broad spectrum from which to choose your topic. For example, you may want to explore the specifics of a label of any of the three subjects (rich, poor, black, white, Christian, Islamic, etc,), trace the rituals or practices of a religion and find the roots and purposes, explore a ritual you practice (such as following the Gregorian Calendar) and follow it to its roots and outline the effects, explore the class system of a culture, and so on.

Another path you may take is exploring something that you are involved in, such as a career or hobby. For example, the hiring practices of the place you work or the filed in which you would like to work. You could also examine the hobby in which you participate. For example, the music scene/industry, Surfing (or any sport) and it’s politics of race/class/religion, how a subculture is classed and/or how there are levels of status/class among that group, and so on.
