My very first choice in research topics would be to investigate the discourse of families who adopt children of a different race. It is an interest of mine because one day I hope to adopt a child from Uganda after I have a few of my own. My reasons may be different than others and I want to know how a situation like that fully plays out. How does it affect the parents? How does it affect the child of another race? How does it affect the other children (if any)? Why did they choose to go that route? What are the benefits and what are the downfalls? I know a few people who have done this and I also know a few people who look at this idea and do not approve. I want to know why it is looked at negatively and why others are highly drawn to the idea. After all, I will hopefully be following in some of these people's footsteps one day.
My Second choice would be to investigate the "why" and "how" of the idea to run marathons or do triathlons. It amazes me how long it takes to prepare for something like that and what these people do to train for it. Because i have no interest in running a marathon ever, this would simply be a little investigation into their motivation and training habits just so I know. Like, how long does it take to train? What methods are there? How does it differ between a man and a woman? How does it affect the rest of your everyday life? Why would you want to run a marathon or triathlon- beyond "just to check something off a bucket list"? There are so many angles to play off of in this investigation as well. However, I would still stick to the first one because I have such a passion an actual interest in the Discourse.
