Having trouble developing a research question ....can you help?

This is for a sociology class called research methods. We are to develop our own topic but I am having trouble finding a good topic for research. I failed this class last year waiting to long and then developing a bad question that I found later not to work out. Last semester I did how walmart contributes to poverty in communities. I have been following the washington post "Being a black man in America" and would love to do something with that but am having problems coming up w a question for that too! This proposal is due next tuesday and I have already been working on this since yesterday. What would a good question to kick off the research writing process?

I suggest narrowing your topic to a specific aspect. What facet of "being a black man in America" are you interested in? Don't worry about narrowing your topic too far. Once you think it's too narrow, narrow it some more, and you've got it.





Good luck!
