35 Research Paper Problem Topics & Examples
Our society have plenty of problems to be solved, let’s admit it. But before we found the solution they should be thoroughly studied from the every side possible. If it’s your task for now, feel free to use our short guide. We hope it will help you to write a perfect research paper on your problem.
To get ideas for your topic just look around. Pick the scale at first: shall it be the problem of personal relations, your hometown, your country or the whole world? When it’s done try to search the problems that bother you personally – it would be much easier to write about something you have some experience about. You already know about the problem, maybe, you even did some personal research that can be useful for your paper and you have the determination to write it good.
To start solving the problem you should present it to the audience first. Dedicate the beginning of your research paper to the detailed description of the problem. What are the causes of it, when was it first documented? Let people know why it is, actually, a problem and why it is so important to search for its solution. Mix the statistical figures with case studies and even personal emotional stories if you have any. Hearing about personal experience helps the audience to get involved not only logically, but emotionally too.
The rest of the paper is the search for the solution of the aforementioned problem. This is the hard part. Imagine that you are writing this paper to the big charity organization to get funded, so you need to describe very precisely what and how you are going to do.
