Healthier lifestyles: newspaper
Pros and cons of owning your own business: small business management class
Tax returns: newspaper
Housing market: news
Crime in big cities: conversation
Bomb threats: conversation

I find the healthier lifestyles topic that I read about in the newspaper most intriguing because I think that being over weight is a big issue in America and a lot of Americans do not find it a problem. Being overweight causes many health problems that many people do not realize. Such as high blood pressure, heart attacks, cancer, clogged arteries etc. The topic that I find least intriguing is probably the crime in big cities because that is something that has always be a problem and I do not think that it is something that is going to change anytime soon. It is a big issue but there would have to be some major changes in the world for that to occur.
