Black lives matter: does racial
systemic violence ever ends?
My topic fits into EPQ requirements as it involves a lot of independent study, by exploring historical
figures, journals, books, and harvard refering.
My idea is appropriate for EPQ as it meet the objectives of when it comes to choosing an EPQ
project topic.
Time
How much time have you planned to
dedicate to your EPQ?
Have you chosen a topic you can complete within the available time?
Think about your ‘Current knowledge’, the‘Ease of finding information’,
and the project's ‘Achievability’.
My achievability is to dig into the root of when racial systemic violence first started and what has kept it going till today.
I think my idea is convincing enough for people to get interested as there migh be a lot of people out there who have heard
about racial violence but they lack knowledge on how it really started and came about.
In other words, is your idea both big
enough and small enough to make a
convincing project within the word count?
Personal interests
You will be spending a lot of time on
your EPQ, so choose a topic that
interests you!
Help available
How much help do you
need with finding out
about the topic?
Are you certain that there is
enough support for your choice
of topic?
I got my motivation from a recent event that occured in the African American community about the
death of its individual.
This is to enhance my UCAS personal statement as the course want to do is a similar thing to this when it come to independent
research, figures, analysis, etc, In Psychology with cognitive nueroscience.
I will be finding information using: journals, books, articles,
the internet and the library.
From the source of the internet, all the resources I need in this project is easy and accessible,
including journal, articles....there are tones of them.
Any current coursework that I am doing is not the same as my
EPQ topic although is a similar thing to what i am currently
studying when it comes to the research aspect as i take
psychology.
Ethics
My project is ethical by it might also involve some
historical figures mentioned throughout my project. In
relation to this i will make sure eveything i say about
them will be respectful and polite
Current knowledge
You may find it easier to choose a topic that
you already know something about.
This will allow you to get a head start by
brainstorming what you know and
deciding what you need to find out.
Think hard before choosing something completely
new because this may involve a lot more work!
