THE TOPIC IS THE IMPACT OF DIVORCE ON CHRISTIAN CULTURAL/TRADITIONAL VALUES A course of action to defend traditional family values must be included comparing and contrasting the significant aspects contributing to the argument of the topic as well as practical applications to family, faith, and the future. Here are some points to consider for your topic development:

• What is your topic?• What is your thesis statement?• Have you framed a problem or simply given an editorial opinion?• Why does this framed problem not meet the traditional values of family?• What are the defined traditional values of family related to the problem that has been framed in your topic and thesis?• How is the topic selected relevant to the course and its application or contraction to current family, faith, and the future?• What data based research validates the claims you have shared?• Be sure that you are not pulling lines of what someone else says to validate claims as someone else’s opinion is not generalizable from person to person.• Be sure to find research that studies a number of people and the data drives a conclusion.
