Recently, I stopped being a strict vegetarian. I gave it up because I was going to study abroad in Berlin in July, and I wanted to fully experience German cultures, which includes their largely meat-heavy cuisine. I also felt as if I was no longer convinced by some of the arguments for vegetarianism. This made me rethink why I had become a vegetarian in the first place, and the nature of the arguments that had convinced me to make the change. I came to the conclusion that arguments for vegetarianism are largely based on how one feels about the arguments, not whether they are "right" or "wrong."
So keeping this class in mind, I thought that I might investigate the Vegetarianism subculture and explore why other people are vegetarians. I think it will be a good project because I was/am a Vegetarian, and it will keep my interest. I'm also interested to explore other peoples' reasons for abstaining from meat, and how they might differ from my own reasons. I also believe that there will be sufficient people to interview and talk with, where other topics I was considering were more limited in who I could talk to.
