Topic is too narrow

How can I broaden my topic?

Examples

You have chosen as your topic the effects of television violence in Canadian programming on children from single parent homes in Montreal. You may be able to find one or two studies that could be relevant, but you will likely have a hard time locating useful material.

Rather than covering many aspects at the same time, try to broaden your topic by being less specific

Here are a few examples:

  • Exclude geographic locations such as Canadian and Montreal: The effects of television violence on children from single parent homes
  • Think of other relevant issues that may provide more information: Television violence in Canadian children's programming. The Role of television in single parent homes
