Blog post P3

               I spent some time brainstorming what I would be choosing for my P3 topic on the day of class that was canceled. It took me a little while to pin point which one I wanted to decide on, but I realized that I had already done so much research and work into a topic inside of the Ethics in Higher Education. Rising college tuition costs is a seriously suppressed problem that needs to be tended to in today’s world. Staying inside the Ethics in Higher Education will help me by making my sources me easily attainable. Students are always so worried about the costs of college and suppressing those worries, I believe, would make students not only do better in their classes but increase their overall standing as a person after graduation.

               My research question is to the address the issue, why have college tuition prices risen so drastically over the past 20 years? Arriving at this specific issue is due to myself being a college student, I want to know the real reasons behind what has been causing college tuition prices to be rising so rapidly. The overall theme of my paper will be to inform and the topic is the reasons why tuition costs are still rising.

               Some potential stakeholders that the informative paper would be directed to would be undergrad students that are currently experiencing today’s extreme tuition costs. I know that undergrad students are the stakeholders that appeal to this topic most because they are all the largest group of people willing to consider informative information regarding current tuition cost issues. I am taking the direction of persuading an unconvinced stakeholder. I know that the best way to get more people on board with solving an issue, is to convince more people of how severe the issue is in their country and what is causing it.

               My concerns for P3 include that I am not entirely secure on my research question. I feel like I still have a good idea but I need other ideas and seeing how everyone else is starting their research process’. Once I have a clear sight on how my final product is supposed to look I will be able to direct my research the correct way and execute an effective and informative paper.
