Possible problems or things to avoid in controversy analysis

Having too many questions – task = determine which questions excite you the most, or find a data set that allows you to answer all the questions


Having too vague of a question or topic – task = ask yourself “What interests me about this topic?” or “Are there any events or phenomena that deal with this question or topic that interests me?”


Studying an excessively large data set – (problem) this leads to never finishing one’s report – task = avoid


Asking a data-less question – (problem) there is not enough data to answer the question – task = avoid


Asking an idea-less question – ([unlikely] problem) there are no sociological ideas that will allow you to address the question – task = avoid
