Title: “Exploring Potential Topics for a Research Paper: A Brainstorming Exercise” Topic 1: The Impact of Social Media on Mental Health 1. How does the use of social media affect individuals’ self-esteem and body image?

Topic Brainstorming (50 points)
Prompt:
List at least three topics that you would consider for your research paper. The possibilities are endless, but you might consider a topic relevant to school, work, or your own field of study. As the Field Guide text recommends, “consider your interests . . .. What do you want to learn? What do you have questions about? What topics . . . have you found intriguing?”
For each topic, choose three of the questions on pages 324-325 of the Field Guide text and answer each question in 3-5 sentences.
Finally, come up with a single question that could guide your inquiry on that topic. See p. 484 of the Field Guide text for examples of how this question should look.
When your project is ready to submit, you will have 3 entries that look like this:
Topic:
Question 1 (3-5 sentences)
Question 2 (3-5 sentences)
Question 3 (3-5 sentences)
Final, paper-guiding question
