Asia,
You’re off to a good start on your topic of spirituality and religion — it sounds more like a research paper that is going to compare and contrast spirituality and religion in terms of what they both offer practitioners. Be careful how you define spirituality to make it distinctive from religion. You seem to be suggesting that religion has an organization and that spirituality does not have any formal organization. Your topic is a bit broad because you’re dealing with philosophy but also raising questions about perception according to age and social events. You should limit the topic focusing more on your comparison and considering how to turn the comparison you raise into a thesis (topic question). This will help with your focus.
Okay, Thank You Professor.
