Proposing a solution

 

For this paper, your first task is to identify some type of problem.  This can be a societal level problem — homelessness, famine, illiteracy, racism — or a problem found more with individuals — procrastination, depression, financial indiscretion.  Be sure, though, to select a problem (a) that you are interested in enough to do a lot of reading about and (b) for which realistic, well-founded solutions actually exist.  Please feel free to run your topic ideas by me this week as you begin writing.
