Major Research Paper Topics
The first topic I chose is medicinal anomalies. A new movie on Netflix called “Brain on Fire” came out recently and I was interested in it so of course, I watched it. In short, the movie is about this happy girl who has a job she loves and a supportive family. This girl begins questioning her happiness and starts having seizures. Doctors cannot figure out what is wrong and soon the girl cannot walk, talk, or perform other basic tasks. After a while of all good readings on blood work and testing for every disease which wasn’t present, the doctors found that half of her brain was inflamed. This topic was intriguing because the discovery of this one anomaly ended up being something easily treatable and saved many lives. If this one story is so interesting, I can only imagine what else there is out there. I haven’t taken it upon myself to look into these cases so I do not know much about them. My topic question might be something around the idea of “Should we be funding medical anomaly research?”
My second topic is insane asylums. I am intrigued by this topic because I find it amazing how the vast majority of people in today’s society would be considered mentally ill, or crazy, back when insane asylums were at large. I don’t know too much about this topic except that there was mistreatment to inpatients and they did not live in too healthy of conditions. I think because it is a weird topic, it would make for good research and possibly enlightenment to readers.
Lastly, my third topic is holocaust experimentation done on people in concentration camps. This topic is literally so hard to wrap your head around and what I know about it is the reason I am so intrigued by it. From my knowledge, German physicians did crazy experiments on thousands of prisoners that usually ended up in death. The most deranged thing of all was the fact that the United States literally gave the physicians an option. They could either keep the research and receive reprimand or they could hand the research over and the U.S. would fully let them go! I would love to research into this because I genuinely am curious what else went on.
