Not as easy as it sounds when you have to make it as narrow as possible. During this past week I have centered mine around piracy and copyright law. Yet it is a wide subject and filtering and changing the question down to something specific is like looking at a deck of cards and guessing which one is the queen of hearts. Still it indicates to me that this process is not something one pulls out of a hat. Careful thought and reason goes into choosing the path you will walk to answer the research question you ask.
