Research Project

I think my audience will be an ordinary person that is interested in how the world ended up in those problems that were so anticipated. I will focus more on why the politicians did not do anything about it before it was a serious issue. I hope to find out, at least brainstorm, around why these politicians did not higher taxes etc. before it was too late. To get to this point I will try to find personal opinions on how the they people did not want to do anything about the dept and why people thought they should do anything about it. Was it just a wild guess?

Research Question

I think my research question are questions that will raise more questions during the time I am working with it. During the project I know that it will be nessasary to narrow it down, but I will try to brainstorm some more to see if I want to narrow it down to people's behavior or the financial aspect of it.

Research

I think I will do some research about the financial problems we are facing now and how this can and maybe will affect our everyday life. My research question will be:
1. Over many years countries (i.e. Greece) have spent more then they have earned. How did we get into these problems when we knew the risk?
2. What are the biggest risks for an ordinary person in his/her everyday life?
3. What can we learn out of all this?

This is maybe one of the biggest problems we are facing and it affects innocent people. This isn't a new problem and that is what I will try to discuss as well: how we get into problems that we can see coming?
