In this assignment, you must select a topic the public may fell strong about. The stronger the feelings, the more likely you will find interesting material in your research. Then, you have to find actual data from surveys about that topic. You should structure your project addressing the following points – and in the same order.
Introduction of the topic. Describe the issue you are going to talk about, why it may be controversial, and why is interesting for you.(10%)
Show raw/general data of the public’s feelings and opinions about the issue. (20%)
Break down the general data using demographic characteristics (gender, income, ideology, education) to better explain the distribution of the public opinion. (30%)
