What Are These About Anyway?

I. One possible subject that would be interesting to look into would be many people's hesitation to delve into philosophical texts. Philosophy sadly is the target of more than a few jokes and seems to have received a reputation as "useless" from many people... why is this? Why do people not become more involved in philosophy and all it has to offer?

II. Another topic that might be interesting to examine would be the question of why do a great many students seem uninterested in their studies? From personal experience and seeing everything I have going through school to this point many people exert the least amount of effort required in order to squeeze by. Education is something vitally important is it not? What causes students to be uninterested? What processes are at work here?

III. A final topic that seems appealing and relevant would be looking at the impact of new technological advances and how they will come to impact our lives. Looking to the work of Ray Kurzweil brings thoughts of technological advances and their impacts to light. Is important to stop and "reflect on teh effects and outcomes of technology," says Ray. A paper doing just this might be successful.
