Asking Questions about Topic

November 28th, 2008

Today during class I was able to talk to Sir about my topic that I have chosen. Since it is a nationalism ‘ownership’ debate my topic is rather broad and I will need to narrow it down to a specific area of interest as the perspectives of both Macedonia and Greece are huge and their history goes way back. However if I did the influence of the greek culture and customs on Macedonia it is a small area to find information on and I am restricted from other sources.

So I have been trying to form questions about what I would like to investigate from the Macedonia dispute with Greece that have good evidence and sources. So far I have created:

  • What do historians say about the conflict?
  • Who owns the Territory?
  • What evidence do historians use?
  • The argument that Alexander the Great was Greek or Macedonian, how is that involved in the Macedonian Dispute?
  • Are there Greek Macedonians or just Slavic Macedonians?
  • Do Greeks still have a link to Macedonia with the Old Kingdom of Macedon?

I’m just forming questions which might help me choose what area of the Macedonian dispute I would like to investigate in.

I’m still researching my findings and Sir suggested that in a couple of days I might not find what I want and I might need to change my topic. I’m trying to persevere and hopefully I will know what I want to do. I have found a really good site which gives me information about what Modern Historians state about Ancient Macedonia relating to the Macedonia issue:
