Any topic of your choice can be overwhelming! You will need to narrow down all the possibilities to one specific topic.
Start by brainstorming what interests you. What are you passionate about? What would you like to learn more about?
Thesis Statement=your answer to your research question; your position on the topic; the main idea of the paper
A well-written thesis statement has two parts:

2.Your reasons.
