Our first blogging homework is to think of five possible topics, related to this semester's main topic, namely the EU, which we would consider writing a paper about. Also we are expected to explain why we chose that topic.
These are the topics I chose:
- The path of the Gaelic language into the EU
Why did Gaelic become an official language of the EU? This is the question I asked myself when I learnt that this language got official EU status a few years ago. So, I'd like to answer this question, mainly for myself.
- Why did the EU receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 2012?
Last semester we had to write a text for MuK regarding the EU. I stumbled upon an article about why so many people do not understand (and do nor appreciate) The EU receiving the prize. I found that interesting but unfortunately I didn't research on the topic any further.
- European Union of the Deaf
As my second language is Austrian sign language it is obvious that I'm interested in deaf culture and so it probably would make a interesting topic for me to research about.
- European Union of the Blind
When I was googling the European Union of the Deaf I stumbled upon the European Union of the Blind and thought that this topic could be interesting as well. Maybe there is even a chance to combine these two topics somehow.
- EU symbols- flag, anthem, motto, Europa and Zeus, Europe Day
How many stars are there on the European flag? Who composed the anthem? And what has Greek mythology to do with the EU? Well, I these are a couple of interesting questions which are just waiting to be answered.
I think that both, the European Union of the Deaf and of the Blind, sound like great topics to research. Still, these topics, as they are, seem too broad for me as you could write millions of words about them. Maybe you could concentrate on their history, the present situation or their future. Or every other aspect you find particularly interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you, that is a great idea :D
ReplyDeleteI think "The Path of the Gaelic Language into the EU" sounds like a really interesting topic, because I'm very interested in languages and Gaelic is a rather exotic one. There are probably many people who don't even know it is still spoken today, so it's time to tell them! ;)
ReplyDeleteMaybe I will tell them :D thank you
ReplyDeleteDid anyone notice that 99% of the comments has word "interesting" in it?
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting observation! ;)
ReplyDeleteI am really happy someone decided to write about the EU getting the Nobel Peace Prize in 2012. I still don’t know what to think about it. Did they really deserve it? I think it would also be interesting to compare former winners of the Nobel Peace Prize and their impact on the world with the EU. Good luck with it :)
ReplyDeleteSame here. Many poeple think that the EU getting the prize is a fake and that the EU is supposed to improve ist policies in order to really deserve it. Thank you, I'll probably need it ^^
