EPQ topic- history/politics/economics

I'm really struggling to finalise my thoughts on an EPQ topic. My current working title is considering the likelihood of another US civil war in the next x years but I feel this is a relatively basic question that could be too wide.

Another area I have considered is the ethics of social media CEOs or the idea that school produces employees.

I would like it to be on the topic of history, politics and/or economics as these are my main interests. Would really appreciate any advice or any potential ideas?

Please and thank you x

You can get A* with just about any totle but some are more interesting than others.
I would suggest picking one that is relevant to your chosen degree. The civil war one I am not keen on, unless you took it seriously and showed mastery of your subject. There is no suggestion of a civil war between states imo.

I think its a mistake to try and decide the title until you have done preliminary research of about 30 articles and just read what the issues are and making a list of things that would interest you in investigation and fit 5000 words.

When you have a list of about ten then read some more on each subject to try and find your top threee areas and then do an essay plan on 1 page as to what you might like to cover. You also need to check theres enough research. See if any of those 3 is your favourite and go for a detailed 2-3 page essay plan as to how you might write 5000 words.
