meth research paper examples/ideas? I am having trouble picking one topic.
Question Posted Sunday March 17 2013, 7:41 pm
what are some good examples/ interesting ideas of thesis statements I can make about methamphetamine for a research paper? im having trouble zoning in one one topic. any advice?
Most of my working life has been as a first responder with the fire department. Meth labs are probably one of the most dangerous buildings for us or the police to come across. If one should explode or the building catch fire the meth lab creates a host of new problems for us in fighting that fire and protecting other properties.
You may want to choose for your topic "Meth Labs and the problems they create for Public Safety and the community."
You would interview Narcotics Detectives, Fire Fighters and in some communities even the Bomb Squad gets involved in dismantling a Meth Lab. From there you work back up the chain to the Patrol Officer and the problems Meth creates for them. You can even go further and interview Juvenile and District Court Judges for their views and the problems they have in adjudicating meth users and meth lab operators.
This could make for an interesting paper especially if you can find a rehab center that will allow you to interview a recovering meth user to complete your paper. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

What I will often do for research papers is work backwards, starting with my supporting arguments and ending with my thesis. I'm not sure what level of schooling this is at (a post-grad research paper is very different from a high school level one), but it's worked for all of my standard reports in the past.
Write out the major points you've found, trying to sort them under common categories. There will likely be a few that stand out as being stronger than the others. Then, take those points and come up with a thesis that ties them together. This way, you're not stuck desperately researching, trying to support a thesis you've already written, and your arguments will be the strongest possible.
