Research Topic

The topic I plan on writing my paper on is about the struggle and differences between the views of the younger Hmong generation and older Hmong generation. Not only the differences but also the conflict between the two. The main things I would like to know more about my research is the why and how of the reasons things are the way they are or how it gets started. This is related to North Minneapolis because of the struggle and rebellious attitude given off by Hmong kids. The result from this is marriage at a young age, gang life, and violence in the Hmong community. The way the two relate is the Hmong elders is the symbol of North Minneapolis. Not only is my research topic related to North Minneapolis, but it also relates to the site I am working at. Because the site I work at is mostly Hmong populated, most of my information will also be coming from there. The best source I have found so far is the forum where Hmong youths post some issues regarding family, friends, culture, etc.

I think that this paper will be very enjoyable to read, and very informative to a lot of people. I think it's great that you are doing something about your own culture. This will make your paper seem very personal and easy to identify with.
