When looking at the potential topics for my final paper, it's hard to decide which topic will produce a better paper. The topic on Technopolyis interesting because it deals with college education which I am currently experiencing; therefore I have a good idea of how to connect Technopoly to the modern-day college campus. However there is a warning to not to comment too much on my generation in general so that means that I will need to do some research and get some statistics on college education in the United States.
The second topic which connects Made to Break to the green movement also sounds interesting. I have taken an environmental class before so I can use some of that knowledge to write the paper. However, I will need to research for some sources so that the information on the green movement can be cited in the paper. The book Made to Break has some information on financial and social interests of the American society so that will be useful in the paper.
Overall, I think the essay on Niel Postman's Technopoly will be more interesting to write because it is on issues that directly affect me. The green movement is important to me but writing a paper on that does not sound as interesting as writing about a college campus. I am in college and so why not explore the intent and role of higher education? I have already got some backgound information on the green movement so Technopoly it is. I am ready to expose the college campuses of their technophile ways.
