Hi, I have an assignment to write a research paper of my choice. I chose september 11th but I need to come up with my own prompt.
I came up with this one
To what extent did the tragic attack of September 11th effect our nation as a whole, as well as terrorism around the world? Were there any changes to our nation after the attack, And did America do or could have done anything to deal with this issue or to prevent any other future attacks?
its not specific enough, can you please help me shorten it and make it more specific? I need a stronger question...
thank you
Yes, it's way too broad a topic -- unless you plan to write books, I guess!
Try this:

Read through the article and watch the video. Then go through the steps and narrow the focus of your idea.
Let us know what you come up with.
Certainly! Here's a suggestion for a more specific and stronger research question:
How did the events of September 11th, 2001 impact counterterrorism strategies and intelligence cooperation among nations, particularly in the context of preventing future terrorist attacks?
With this revised question, you can focus on analyzing the specific measures taken by the United States and other countries in response to the 9/11 attacks. This includes exploring changes in national security policies, intelligence sharing agreements, and technological advancements to detect and combat terrorism. By narrowing your focus, you can delve deeper into the specific impacts of the attacks on counterterrorism efforts and assess the effectiveness of various strategies implemented post-9/11.
