GENERATING IDEAS BY READING AN ARTICLE

Reading what others have written about issues in your field of study can often help you to generate your own

topic ideas. An article on the rapid increase in diabetes among teenagers in the last decade could, for example,

generate ideas for your own paper analyzing why this significant change has occurred.

Below, you will find a short list of articles on various changes in the fields you are currently studying. This list is

not inclusive, so it may or may not contain a topic that interests you. Do not limit yourself to these topics or

articles. Find your own topic that interests you. You can also search for other articles in the PG Library or use a

search engine like Google Scholar.

Remember, your paper will not be about the article but about the change mentioned in the article. Your task will

be to analyze what you think caused the change what effect that change has had.
