I was fairly unsure of exactly what I wanted my topic to be before looking at the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center's webpage. When looking through the topics listed, political corruption caught my eye. I will probably have to narrow my topic further, but it was nice to get an idea of what I am going to write my paper about.
While most of the viewpoints hold that there is definitely corruption in our government, a few give legitimate arguments that the corruption is not as severe as others make it out to be. Many people have taken a stance on this, so I will be able to get a lot of information to help create my own viewpoint.
While I believe that there is undeniably some kind of corruption in our government, I am not sure that it is as widespread as it seems. Anything political I believe people should be interested in because it deals directly with our lives and how we live. Every decision that politicians make affect each and every one of us.

Oh I am POSITIVE you will have to narrow your political corruption topic down. I mean it goes all the way back to Andrew Jackson and his "presidenting" days.
I'm not certain on a topic yet either (yikes), but I might be trying out the corruption involving the Patriot Act.
