Research question: "Do the pros of cancel culture outweigh the cons globally?"

1.Does the question deal with a topic or issue those interests me enough to spark my own thoughts and opinions?

Yes, I have been an active member of most social media sites and have been following the recent trend of cancel culture, and therefore, I can share my insights and opinions on the topic.

2.Is the question easily and fully researchable?

Yes, many people have to work on this topic not only for the website and news articles but also for academic journals as well.

3.What type of information do I need to answer the research question?

For example, to answer the research question, "What impact has deregulation had on commercial airline safety?" will require certain types of information:

statistics on airline crashes before and after

statistics on other safety problems before and after

information about maintenance practices before and after

information about government safety requirements before and after

Information about the origin of cancel culture

Possible causes behind the cancel culture

Examples from the past about the magnitude and impact of cancel culture

4.Is the scope of this information reasonable (e.g., can I really research 30 online writing programs developed over a span of 10 years?)

Yes, I can find 30 online writing programs developed over a span of 10 years

5.Given the type and scope of the information that I need is my question too broad, too narrow, or okay?

As far as I think, the scope is okay, not too broad and not too narrow as we are discussing both pros and cons and then evaluating them.

6.What sources will provide the information I need to answer my research question (journals, books, Internet, government documents, people)?

Internet, people, journal articles, newspaper and website articles

7.Can I access these sources?

Yes

8.Given my answers to the above questions, do I have a good-quality research question that I actually will be able to answer by doing research?

Yes, I do have a good-quality research question that I actually will be able to answer by researching.

Good question! Make sure you present the counterargument too.
