When trying to find a topic for your filed of inquiry, exigence might proceed your
dissonance. In my case, my discipline would be business and to find personal dissonance I would
go through the process of finding preliminary research. Through this process I would look up
what is needed to get a business major, go the articles, and then pick the topic of that article that
appeals to myself personally. After I would come up with question for that topic and break them
down so my focus on the inquiry would be efficient.
Next is to formulate your research. To do this you examine your information and break it
down into three, primary research, secondary research, and ethics of research. Primary research
involves working directly with people. Secondary research involves working with material and
working with the ideas of other people. Finally ethic of research is based on perspective and how
they change over time.
Research Question Heuristic
1. Business.
2. My exigence with business is that I am majoring in it right now because I can become an
accountant or join the FBI. As for my dissonance I dont know what my classes are going
to be about and what Im going to learn throughout my four years in that discipline.
3. I want to conduct inquiry so I could know if this is the right path I want to take for my
degree.
4. Am I taking the right path in choosing business as my discipline?
5. How are my classes going to be? Are they going to be difficult for me? What other jobs
can I peruse with a business/accounting degree?
6. Do I like business as my discipline?
