The Research Process–Picking a Topic

These are some of the current news stories that interest me

• Gun Politics in USA Link
• This is a well known issue in USA and also a major issue considering the recent incidents. This has affected a huge amount of people and devastated their families.
• The most interesting part of the news story is the fact that the same constitution that's suppose to protect the American citizens, has contributed to this situations current status. The protestors against the Gun control laws are using the second amendment as a weapon in their protest. Sadly, the country consider the well being of a individual citizen more important than the well being of the entire country.
• Being a citizen of a country where Gun control laws are at a high level, I have a bipolar belief on this topic. Some of my friends get offended by my comments on this topic, which is not surprising when I think of how many firearms I have seen in Georgia. The opinion that I have is from a complete perspective and it will be hard to comprehend for some people.
• Obesity in America Link
•  The National Institution of Health defines obesity as having too much body fat. Its been described as the fastest growing public health issue for the US.
• In Sri Lanka (Where I come from) we walk almost everywhere to get our work done in the outdoors, but in USA almost everyone drives everywhere. Its very interesting that there are Drive-throughs for everything, even banks have Drive-throughs. Also the food here is mostly unhealthy junk food, which happens to be cheaper than the healthy real food. It is the small things that makes the big difference.
• In order to come up with a good research paper for this topic, I will have to go deep into a lot of other aspects of this story.
•  High Medical Bills Issue Link
• The medical expenses in USA is very high compared to other countries in the world. Statistics say around 15% of the population doesn't have medical Insurance. 
• It is interesting that In USA getting ill could end up bringing yourself to bankruptcy even with medical insurance. 75% of the people who filed for bankruptcy had health insurance.The fact remains that except for billionaires, every person who lives in America is one major illness away from bankruptcy.
• When writing a research on this topic I would be able to support the fact that a huge problem exists, but I will not be able to come up with a possible solution or at least something close to it.
