  2. A subject is a large category of which you are going to research, and a topic is a narrowed subject, which is more specific that people can make a reseacrch about it. I am planning to write about animal test. My research question is should animal test be banned for protecting live animals. The stakeholders would be cosmetics developers, drug developers, retailers, customers, APA (animal protection association), vegetarians, etc.

  4. From the definition, the topic is a subject of conversation or discussion and also a general field of considerations from which arguments can be drawn. It also called theme. It is different from the subject. Subject in grammar is that part of the discourse that indicates who does the action or who is target.
    My potential topic is about natural resource. I will focus on the effect of natural resource about the economic. So stakeholders could be people who use natural resource to make money , people who support no more use natural resources.

  5. A subject is not something you can write a research paper about. It is too large to cover. Topic is a smaller thread of inquiry. We need to further the subject into topic. I want to talk about the harm of sweets. My research question might be any heavy metal in chocolate. The stakeholder could be the factories of chocolate.

  6. Subject is a field that to study and topic is one of the branch of subject. So we need to make sure which "tree" we want to study and then we can decide the branch we need to research. Personally, I want to choose Exoplanet as my research question, so the stakeholder are those astronomers.

  7. Subject on a whole is a collection of topics. It is vast and we cannot research on it, where as we can do the same on a particular topic. football is the potential topic and the potential research question would be, "Who is better, Messi or Ronaldo?". i couldn't think of possible stakeholders for this topic.

  8. Subject is a large scale of field to study with. A research can not based on a subject. However, topic is a more specific item which researches can be made about.
    The topic I choose is environmental protection. I want to identify the effect of the methods we use to protect the environment. So the skateholders are those who developed and used the environmental protection method.

  9. Topic looks like the theme of the article. Subject is the resouses that people will witten in the paper. They are diferent. Subjects need follow the topic. When we choose subjects we need think about the topic at first. I want to written about the envirement, identity the effect that enban influence the nature. The stakeholder would be people people who builds the cities.

  10. Subject is what it contains, have lots to research it. Topic is what it covers for the subject. I choose welfare be my research topic. The stakeholders could be the people who get help from welfare, people who do charity to help people, people who use welfare to make money.

  11. Subject is a collection of topics. It is too huge that we cannot research on it, while it is possible to do some research on a particular topic. racing is the potential topic and the potential research question could be, "What car is faster, lamborghini or Ferrari?". The stakeholders would be the engineers and designers that created these cars in this topic.

  12. Topics are part of a subject, a piece of a large chuck that we could conduct a brief research on. My potential research would be " Are video games becoming more sexist?". The stakeholders would be the video games designers and the video games critics.

  13. Subject contains the collection of topics, it is like a greater range field. But for the topics, they are more specific. My potential research is "Is stereotype for people from different countries good for the communicate?" The stakeholders would be the people who has the opinion of stereotype or suffer the pain of stereotype.

  14. The collection of topics is a subject. We can't research on the this. One major example is sports in the olympics. Theres always a debate on what sport is suitable to qualify for the olympics.

  15. Subject is a big area that cover the scope of the essay. Topic is the specific point that the essay talk about. The potential topic for me would be international students circle of friend. The potential research question is should international stundent make friend only with the students who come from the same country or local students.The stakeholders is the international studen like us.

  17. Topic is including in the large area of subject, and is a important part of subject, topic is a point and we can make a conversation or an article to talk about it. My potential topic is "Should we allow the students and teachers smoke cigar on campus?"

  18. A topic defines a particular aspect that will be covered in conversation or in any written form, whereas subject is used in context to a wider aspect of knowledge.My potential topic would be if students are allowed to carry guns on campuses? and the stakeholders would be the teachers/management and students.
