Selecting Suitable Questions Research Questions / Titles Cambridge Pre-U GPR

Themes Remember that there are five themes that dictate our curriculum content: Ethics Economics Environment Technology Politics and Culture

Topics Select a topic that engages your own interest and that coincides with one or more of the themes: Ethics: Genetic engineering Medical ethics and priorities Standard of living or quality of life Ethical foreign policies The religious-secular divide

Topics (continued) Economics Environment Globalization of economic activity The economic role of women The impact of the internet Environment Industrial pollution Biodiversity and threats to the world’s natural heritage Global climate change: science and politics Urbanization and the countryside

Topics (continued) Technology Politics and Culture Alternatives to oil Artificial intelligence Online and interactive communities Politics and Culture The emergence of China/India as a global superpower Endangered cultures International law Integration and multiculturalism

Developing a Title “Title” refers to a research question that you will plan to study. A well-developed research title will enable you to demonstrate your newly acquired skills in deconstruction, reconstruction, reflection, and presentation.

Examples of Good Questions Theme: Ethics Topic: The religious-secular divide RQ: Is a fundamentalist view of Islam mutually exclusive with life in a 21st Century Western culture? Theme: Economics Topic: Migration & work RQ: If the U.S. gives legal status to illegal immigrants, will this hurt the economic recovery? Theme: Politics & Culture Topic: Transnational orgs RQ: Is it time to disband the United Nations?

How do I know if my question is any good? Does the question reflect a global issue? Does the question arouse your interest? Does the question open the possibility for debate? Will the question lead to intellectual argument? Does the question allow you to use skills from the critical path? Can the question be answered in suitable depth within the limit?
