Write your initial thoughts framing your upcoming Capstone research proposal.

Write your initial thoughts framing your upcoming Capstone research proposal. Include the following elements: an introduction or statement about the societal or global problem or issue being addressed, a goal statement of your intended research, your potential research questions, and a proposed methodology. In your next module, a full research proposal is likely to be required. Accordingly, in this assignment, though it is not finally binding, can serve as the early foundation that the later task may be built upon (4-6 pages).

An important reminder: This assignment content is NOT limited to the work or the subject matter of this 701 course. Rather the entire subject space across the multi-disciplinary spectrum of emergency and disaster management on the international stage is legitimate topic matter for Capstone research
