EPQ help
I'm doing an EPQ and the main topics I'm interested in are politics and philosophy. All of my ideas seem to be very subjective (e.g. 'Is X a realistic or desirable political model?') I'm wondering how objective my project should be. I would use evidence to back up my claims but I'm worried my ideas are too subjective so I couldn't come to an objective conclusion. Is it okay for it to be opinion-based if it's backed up with facts and case studies?

Hi!
Its completely normal to feel subjective about these topics as everyone has a different opinion especially when it comes to politics and philosophy. With EPQ you don't use the word I very often, its more like a university essay. The conclusion is subjective as you reflect on your thoughts and how both arguments have possibly increased your beliefs already or made you have a change of heart. However, you do have to argue for and against evenly for it to be balance i believe!
Hope this helps!
