Developing a Research Question

In this post, I will explore questions that are posed in the business field. These will be a starting point for my research project. From these questions, I will chose one to write my paper on.

Current debates in the Economics field:

• Should we go back to the barter system rather than the monetary system we have today?

            I find this question really interesting because I believe that people should operate in what they are good in. SO when people barter, they are trading what they are good at for what someone else is good at. This could look like farming, welding, sewing, cleaning, making technology, or whatever it is that you are good at. 

• Should minimum wage be raised to $15/ hour?

         I have a very strong opinion that it should not be raised so I would be really interested to research why people think it should. 

• Should the government continue to fund welfare?

          I have opinions about the role government shold play, but I have not thought about this question very much. I would be very interested in understanding the pros and cons. 

• Should we get rid of the penny?

          This is a question I read online and it was something that never even crossed my mind. I don't know why we would get rid of the penny besides the fact they are annoying to pay with. But, I think it would be fun to see the reasoning behind even asking the question.

• Will a college degree or an apprenticeship benefit you more in the long run? 

          I love learning, but I hate school. I hate how it is run and they way of learning and assessment. I have always rather learn a skill from someone and be really good at that one thing. Kind of like how I talked about operating in what we are good at. I would be interested to see the pros and cons in the long run.
