Doing Work On Proposing
I have made great progress today. I have narrowed my inquiry contract topic down to two topics: "The morality of beauty pageants" or "The legalization of organ trade". I read a conversation on a website recently about whether beauty pageants are inherently positive or negative. A couple of the participants in various pageants gave relatively scripted answers about pageants being about confidence, being healthy, meeting new people, helping charities, and true beauty. I found it interesting that they claimed it's not about how one's looks but the confidence one shows. I find it genuinely interesting that participants and their defenders think that beauty pageants are not about the best looking person. I have a hard time believing that they really believe this. The other idea was given to me by my dad. It is no secret that there is fairly large black market for organs. Like the drug legalization issue, the major controversy is whether to legalize it so that the black market diminishes or to keep it illegal for "ethical" reasons.

I really like both of your topics. I think the idea of the beauty pageant would be really neat to research since so many pageants now a day are superficial even though they claim not to be.
