3. Question

3.1. What Is Reality?

3.1.1. To broad not a narrow enough topic, therefore the research would not be specific enough.

3.2. Is reality Tv a true representation of society?

3.2.1. Not very interested in doing it about TV and the affects of it, therefore i would find it hard to go into detail about it as i would get bored by it.

3.3. Which of fundamental philosophical theories provide a true description of reality?

3.3.1. I like the idea of this question as it would allow me to argue i provide strength and weaknesses of the theories and therefore i think it would enable me to write a well structure essay and give an interesting presentation.
