Thinking About A Research Topic

            Hello everybody. Before embarking on my journey as a blogger, I would like to briefly introduce myself. My name is Kevin Calixto and my majors are Elementary Education and Liberal Studies (with tracks in English and Economics). I am still unsure of what exactly my research topic will be. However, being that I am planning to become an educator I think it would be appropriate to research a school related topic. An issue I have been thinking about researching, which I am bound to encounter as a future educator, is school violence.

I realize that school violence is a broad topic which can include: bullying, cyber-bulling, hate crimes, gang-related crimes, sexual harassment/assault, verbal abuse, and school shootings. As a result, I think it would be best if I concentrated on one or two specific acts of school violence. Perhaps as I conduct my research, I will be able to find a connection between both acts of violence.  Within the next few days I will do some research in order to narrow down my interests, and consequently narrow the topic of my paper. In addition, I will try to come up with specific questions I want to target within my paper.
