I have given a lot of thought as to what I should write my inquiry project about, and then it just came to me. I should write about the thing that I've grown up around my whole life, animals. My dad is a vet, and as a child I spent most of my time around animals that have been hurt in some form or anther. My topic could be cruelty to animals, meaning that I would talk about how it is the responsibility of the owner to take care of that animal. This would have to include some of the extreme and sad cases that I myself have witnessed the aftermath of.
Human rights are also something that intrigues me. I like this because it is so broad, but that is why I am hesitant towards dong this topic.
I am also very passionate about the war in Iraq, and that would be a good topic for me to do, and would provide sufficient details for this contract. Although this topic tends to be overdone, it is my belief that the only way we can end this war, is for people to speak out. My view on the war is that we set a time to keep our troops over in Iraq, and then we leave, but not until there is a stable system of government. If we can provide this, then at least they will be back on their feet. Some people have very different opinions of the war, and this is understood, so this paper will be based on what I think should be done.
I also am against our dependence on gas guzzling tanks of cars. Yes, I realize that i myself drive an SUV, but even I have made it so that my gas can last longer than that of someone else driving the same car as mine. The way we can become less dependent is to use less gas, and this is hard for us as a nation. But, if a car is driven the way it is supposed to be, then it will use less gas. We could come up with more hybrid SUV's, and they have quite a large selection on the market today.
So, basically my topic could be, against animal cruelty, human rights, war in Iraq, and against our dependence on gas.

I think your best bet out of the 3 topics is the one about animal rights. It is a topic that divides your audience and it would be an interesting read. I do think you would need to narrow down the topic and push it deeper. Are you against animal cruelty in the cosmetic departments or just in cases of owners behaving badly? Something that could really be strong for this topic is to talk about the recent case with Michael Vick and dog fighting.
Also the fact that your dad is a vet and you work there, you see animal cruelty first hand. That will be great in appealing to pathos and reaching out towards your audience.
I'm not sure you could do the same with fuel efficiently in vehicles because you own an SUV yourself. Your argument might get a little sticky in saying that you are for it, but don't have one. Although you could branch off and mention that hybrid cars are very expensive and in order for the United States to become more efficient, the prices will need to be lowered.
I'm excited to see what you choose!
