Proposed topic: After talking to Dr. Irvin in the conference. I just decided my topic to be the hijacking event which occurred in Philippines involving the Philippines police and several Hongkong travelers killed. This event is a really serious event which arouse great attention internationally. The event itself is not controversial but there are a lot of different opinions coming out about it. Hongkong government and mainland government of China and Philippines are all so concerned about this event since it causes a lot death and it is an issue that would break the relationship between these two countries if not taken good care of.
Primary sources: Since it is an international event happened in Asia, there seems to be not enough report about it in English version. However, due to the specialty of Hong Kong government, there are reports from Hong Kong in English, such as Apple Daily and SCMP.com(south China morning post). Also, I have realdy found some report from WSJ(Wall Street Journal) and NYT(New York Times). To make the statement or the analyse objective, I think I might need to look for some report from Philippines local newspaper or magzines.
To do the research, I am going to research Philippines polocy about gun possession and other things involved in the library or library.tcu.edu
Why I chose this topic?
1, This event is really a big international event which arouse great attention from all over the world.
2, One side of this event is my country, my people and someone just got KILLED! I am not just interested but concerned about it. (However, I will remain objective to this project.)
3, Doing research such a topic will help me to do better in analysing big events in the future when needed.
