I think I want to do my paper about how the government help the people that have AIDS in Africa.I want to know what the goverment is doing to stop the spread of AIDS and how are they providing treatment for those who have the Virus.Also I want to know what the goverment has planned to do in the future.

MIdterm topic

I am still unsure of exactly what I want to write about for my midterm paper. I am pretty sure that I wanted to do something related to health care. I researched several broad topics about pharmaceuticals and medicine. I found that health for refugees was an interesting topic but then I started looking into the AIDS/HIV medicine and the issues that are resulting from it. The medication is so expensive that many individuals in Africa, who need it most, are not able to pay for it. I still need to decide what to write about, but those are the strongest leads so far.

My Midterm Paper Topic

The topic I have chosen for my midterm paper is immigration. I plan to specifically focus on immigration into Texas. I want to discuss the personal lives of these immigrants in order to have an emotional affect on the reader. When individuals come from Mexico to Texas, they know their lives will change for the better. Since immigration brings about heated debates and strong opinions, I feel it is important to discuss the personal lives of the immigrants themselves.

Rap and Globalization

So it might be a little weird that I am focusing on globalization (hip hop is my main focus) on culture.

My topic is a little misguided right now, but I have this great article on American rap's influence on japanese youth culture.

so I guess my topic is going to be on American rap's influence on youth across the globe- specifically their take on values, morals, ethics, dress, authority, etc. 

Do you guys think this is a good idea? any suggestions would help.

YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!! i love all your topic ideas. :)

Topic for paper?!?!

I think I will write my paper about the Toyota Prius. Specifically, a very large percentage of Prius buyers are getting the cars for the wrong reasons. This happens because the idea of 'being green' is highly regarded nowadays and many individuals want to make sure that they are doing their best to express their love for the environment (while they may not be doing their best to make sure they are actually being environmentally friendly).

Topic

For my midtermn I wanted to focus more on a cultural aspect of globalization. I want to do my midterm on the unification of all cultures due to globalization. I was thinking about focusing on either media and how global corporations advertise on an international scale or focusing on McDonalds and how it is present in many contries and contributes to the fact that different countries are starting to have similarities. So far my research on McDonalds has gone well, I've found some articles arguing that every country will lose their unique cultural identity if this pattern countinues. They've been really interesting and elightening.

Midterm Paper Topic

For the midterm assignment, I have decided I wanted to research ExxonMobil. The reason I chose this topic is because it is the second largest company, behind Wal-Mart and my dad works for ExxonMobil. As far as what to discuss in my paper, I want to cover how Exxon plays a role in each of our lives. Exxon provides jobs for many, but also it is one of the largest in the refining business which effects every nation that uses oil. I am wondering if this topic is too broad. Should I get more specific?
