text: what is a good topic to write for a research paper? i am trying to find a topic to write about for a research paper. i can't decide what to write about. any suggestions? choose something that interests you. you're more likely to do better research and not get bored with it, than if you randomly pick something only to find part way into it that you couldn't be less interested in that topic. make it somewhat fun...no reason you can't learn about something you are curious about, while also getting your paper done.
