Sinopsis

Excerpt from A Guide for Writing Social Science Papers

II. How to choose a topic. In response to the frequently recurrent request: You suggest a topic for me to write on, the instructor will usually refuse. A student who is approaching maturity even though he has had only an introduction of a few weeks to social science - must have given a lit tle thought from time to time to a few, at least, of the pressing social issues of the day. If the in structor chooses a topic for a student whom he only recently has met, it may be a question en tirely outside of the range of that person's inter ests; if the student makes the choice, carefully guarding himself against selecting one that appeals merely to his passing fancy, he will have a prob lem for investigation that lies within the bound aries of his past thinking, and hence one upon which he will be able, probably, to do his best work. Furthermore, he will have relied upon and exercised his own mentality, rather than have leaned upon the aid of another.

Excerpt from A Guide for Writing Social Science Papers

There are three main classes of problems for papers: (1) library subjects; (2) field subjects; and (3) theoretical subjects, - these are not dif ferent types, but various stages on an ascending scale of difficulty and importance. (1) For a be ginner, the library topic is the most logical; the material is usually near at hand and easy to ob tain. The best data are to be found. In a few books and magazines; and the time of the student is conserved, because within a few steps of the study table in the library is the full equipment. In general, before one should think of doing field work, he must acquaint himself with the written studies on the particular problem, with the backgrounds of the problem, and with the technique for undertaking first-hand investigations. Towards this goal, library subjects lead.
