Guidelines on Question Generation

Ask yourself: What problem is there in my life/society/school/community and how would I propose to solve it?

The questions should invite sub-questions to the larger question. For example, ‘Are we all alone?’ invites the simple answer of ‘yes’ or ‘no’. But it also invites follow up questions such as:


Why do people feel alone?


How do people try to escape the feeling that they are alone?


What consequences come from the impression that we are all alone?


How can we try not to feel like we are all alone?

Questions should be arguable, which is the context of this project, means that the questions are too large to have a single correct answer. If asked, you should be able to give two answers to your Good Human Question. In some cases, this may simply be looking at both sides of the argument, or recognizing the many possible answers to the question. If you can only see one correct answer to your question, then it is not arguable enough or you should broaden your perspective on the issue.

Questions should be something that you can take action on personally. At the end of the quarter you will create a multimedia presentation that includes your research into this problem as well as a direct example of how you went out into the world and tried to fix it.
