During the first meeting with my mentor for my EPQ, we went over the basic ideas of my topic and discussed any further additions or changes that needed to be made.
Within this meeting, besides further discussing the topic in detail and the types of things that I could write surrounding it, my mentor advised me to narrow down my topic from other countries within the West, such as the USA, and focus solely on the UK to allow a thorough and perceptive argument on my topic.
As well as this, my mentor and I:
- went over my PPR and looked at how it could be improved
- looked at my blog posts so far and how these related to the topic
- talked about the primary research that I planned to conduct and the types of questions I could ask
- looked at ideas for secondary data to allow me to gain a more in-depth knowledge of the topic chosen.
After deciding to narrow my focus on the UK only, I plan to use the ideas given to me by my mentor to widen my knowledge on the topic and see both sides of the argument to create a more just and unbiased view.
