Choose five topics that you think are potential research topics for your paper and briefly (in 2 to 5 sentences) explain why these topics are of interest to you.


Black Market
 (Underground Economy) The illegal selling of banned products such as smuggled animals from different countries or human organs/ body parts.

 The Black Market can be a bad thing for countries, the market can contain many illegal things from organs to animals. On the other hand the market can bring productivity to people and get them money to then use to help bolster an economy.But since the Black market contains many controversial things it is normally stopped by law enforcement.

Doping in Sports The use of PED's and other drugs that give an advantage. These can be in the form of HGH or other things such as steroids.

Doping in sports is a bad thing to almost all except the culprit, HGH can give an athlete an unfair advantage against others. The drugs promote healing and muscle growth that give more strength but can give side-effects such as weakened joints. Some may say it makes the game different and helps athletes heal faster, and some say that even if they are used it doesn't always create an  effect that gives positive feedback and sometimes was never found in some people.

Medical Marijuana This is a controversial topic that is in many views. medical marijuana is used to help treat patients for glaucoma to help ease their pain.

Medical marijuana is a broad and very debated topic that creates protest for some. Some people can create a positive with this because of the pain numbing effects for glaucoma patients. Some may argue and say this will be abused because of the many people that just use it for the effects which can affect the surrounding people.

Sports Mascots
 (Controversial Mascots) This is found in the last year with the logo's and mascots of famous sports teams. The Cleveland Indians and Washington Redskins are targeted for depicting a =Native american tribes men in a typical stereotype.

Human Smuggling people now smuggle people into countries to create profit. The people who use these illegal people are forcing them into cheap labor which is illegal. Police and border control constantly work to prevent these situations from occurring.

There are some annoyances and some things that just tick you off. When it comes to parents to friends family to neighbors stuff can just get to your last nerve. some things that will tick me off are the constant repetition of questions because people just don't listen. Another thing that will bother me is when people light up and smoke in front of you, i constantly avoid these people in public because of the problem with health they yield. Also what bothers me is the internet radios because you will listen for 5 sons then get interrupted by these commercials that seem to never end. Another thing is when you arrive on time to an event or meeting and then our friends show up 20 min later, this is because I could have left a little later or done other things. Finally another thing that bothers me is when a friend will tell you to do something and the don't go with it, they always will find a way to get out of it.
