Final Paper Topic

For my topic on the big paper, I would like to talk about the current issue of need versus want. After hearing from Dr. Reed, I have thought a lot about what he said and the current economic situation in America. My hope is to highlight certain aspects of life that are merely a want instead of a need and how the confusion between the two is hurting our country. I will come up with solutions for how to decide between a want and need and the upside to establishing between the two before making a decision that could be costly. I don’t have a working thesis yet but I have come up with a few sources I would like to use.
