Question

I am trying to pick a motivational speech topic where I have to convince someone to do something (i.e stop shopping at a store, join a particular organization, etc). However, we have to have 5 credible sources, one of which has to be a peer-reviewed article. So, this limits the number of topics I can pick, based on what research I can find. Even finding research with a general relation to any topic is difficult. Also, I am an IT major, so would prefer a topic in this area.

So, any suggestions for topics?

How about the pros or cons of social media?

You should be able to find peer review articles in this list.
