Acedmic paper in progress

To be completely honest, my paper is not going to great so far. This task appears to be a lot more difficult than I expected. Additionally, although I love my topic – Bears in the EU – it is rather hard to find interesting sources. I still haven’t decided on my thesis statement or my scope yet. I am not sure whether I want to focus on the legal aspect, the trophy trade or do a kind of snapshot of the conditions bears live in. This topic would be so much more interesting if it didn’t have to tie in with the EU. As of now I am seriously contemplating changing my topic to something like the debate about the United States of Europe.
