Rant Topics

Rant Topics

In your rant, you will need to pick a topic that allows you to:

• defend a position on a controversial issue after considering a variety of perspectives
• analyse roots of present-day regional, cultural, and social issues within Canada

We will develop the requirements for the rant over then next couple of weeks. At this stage, you should be doing some basic research on areas of interest to you.

• You will be picking a modern regional cultural or social issues within Canada (may also be worldwide). 
• You will need to find information from both sides of the issue and some background about the deeper historic roots of the issue. For example, if you want to do women in the media, you will also go back to look at the history of women's rights. 
• You should be looking to see if there is good information about the topic online (more than Wikipedia or ask.com). 
• When you find a good source, paste its URL in a doc in your NLC folder. 

Over the next couple of days you will be asked to pick a topic that you think you can research and argue well based on your preliminary searches.
