If yes, include it in the proposal, but note where you need more information and/or what questions still need answering. How will your research be conducted? What databases will you use to find helpful sources on this issue? Who will be good to talk to ? What have you witnessed or exerienced that would serve as a source for the essay?

You’ve already begun to explore topics in recent discussion forums, so hopefully you already have a pretty good idea what you want to write about.
