Tips for narrowing topics:
- Limit to a specific group or person, geographic location, or time period
- Limit to a specific aspect of the topic. What would you like to know more about? Or, what problem needs to be resolved?
Tips for broadening topics:
- If you have limited to a group and location, remove one of these limits (e.g. just focus on the group and not the location.);
- Go "up" a level. If you are focused on a city and can't find information, look at the state or country level instead.
- Add an additional aspect or perspective, such as social and economic factors.
