While I was looking through the websites and articles a few of them seemed to pop out and interest me. One of the stories that interested me was about how parking alternatives at the University of Houston had benefits. This was an interesting article for me because this is a topic of frequent discussion on campus. Another article that got my attention was about how kids reviewed cafeteria food. This was interesting because I am curious to see the kind of foods that kids are into these days. One more article I found interesting was an article about the race for the Houston’s next mayor. It interested me because it talked about the vast differences between the different contenders.
My favorite article out of all these would be the one about how kids reviewed the cafeteria food. It talked about all the foods that are and aren’t popular with kids these days. If I used this story as the starting point for my practical proposal paper, my research question would be the following statement. Should kids have better tasting and more nutritional cafeteria food? The information I would need to answer my research question would be nutritional values of the current cafeteria food, the opinions of the kids on the food and an overall review by an adult audience. The main people I could interview for this topic would definitely be kids that eat cafeteria food and the adults that experience it too. Also, I would have to look at healthy nutritional information for growing kids on the internet and medical publications.
Another local issue that I am considering talking about for my practical proposal paper would have to be all the pollution in Houston. This topic interests me because I care about the environment and also because Houston is one of the worst polluted cities in America. Proposing a change could lead to a better environment for Houston’s future. Another issue I am considering writing about would be increasing the number of homeless shelters in order to help the less fortunate. This interests me because I like to help others that are less fortunate than the average citizen. Another possible issue I could write about is traffic in Houston streets. This is an interesting issue for me because I have to endure it every single day. This is a heated topic that people all over Houston tend to discuss routinely.

Hi Elvis -- I think any of these will work for topics. The cafeteria-food one seems less well-defined, so if you want to do that one, have an email conversation with me so we can work on it a bit. The pollution topic and homeless shelter topics both sound interesting, and both are big issues in Houston.
