Decisions...

The due date for a topic is approaching, and I have been thinking about the ideas and suggestions that need to go, and the ones that should stay on or be added to my list. To start off, I have lost interest in the topic of war and its effects of society. I did some research on it and I did not find much that intrigued me. I am not leaning towards corruption either. Good news is that after hearing that I should not give up on a topic because of its lack of appearance in literature, I feel that my choices are much more vast. 
Space exploration is again on my radar. If I chose this topic I would want to not only talk about actual human and robot expeditions, but also scientific discoveries and breakthroughs. I would want to track mankind's gradual increase of knowledge about what lies beyond earth. This would include theories, expeditions, and discoveries.
Nature versus nurture is also a possible topic. It interests me because I could delve into the fields of psych and history to come to a conclusion about this debate. I would also use religious sources regarding man's nature.
I read through a few Blogs, and I saw the topic of dreams mentioned twice. This subject has intrigued me for a long time, and I might want to research it if other people don't claim the topic.
I stumbled upon a topic online about how technology, specifically cell phones other ways of connecting, has changed society. This new topic would be fun because I could track social behavioral patterns, and technological development. I could include reports on Apple's influence on the world, the invention of the internet, and the role of social media in connecting people. For example, Twitter allows fans to actually interact with their heroes and idols.
Unless I think of another topic, it seems to me that my paper will be written on one of these ideas. Next step, the final decision.
