Given these problems, what could citizens do to address them and restore Mandela’s vision?

A Research Project is a piece of academic scholarship that requires a critical level of innovative inquiry. You must take a debatable position in relation to your topic. Come up with that position by asking an important open-ended question about the topic (remember, your question may emerge and become more focused as you perform your research). For example, based on all of the articles we read about Democracy in South Africa, we might ask this question: Given these problems, what could citizens do to address them and restore Mandela’s vision? Obviously, this question evokes different answers, and, thus, is open to debate. A less productive question would be: How did South Africa make the transition into genuine democracy? This question tends to reduce your response to a simple “report” or “history” of facts. While you might be able to stir up debate with your answer, you would more likely succumb to mere reporting. Therefore, your most important priority is to pose a provocative and focused question: your position on this question must be arguable, researchable, and appropriate for a 2000 word analysis.
