Why Did I Choose This Topic?   
   When I had to choose a topic, I chose the Illuminati because I had always wondered about the history of them and why they are the "Illuminati". I had previos knowlege about the secret group, but I wanted to get deeper into the facts, events, etc. I enjoy researching secrets and mysteries that the world doesnt completly know about or is unaware of. The things the do and create in socitety infuence the people without them even knowing.
  
                  Essential Questions:
                  1.  Why does the Illuminati worship the Devil and not God?

                  2.  How can knowlegeble people acknowledge thoes who are unaware?

                  3.  Should the government try to investigate and stop the Illuminati?

                  4.  Which groups of people are mostly involved in the Illuminati?

                  5. What would you do about it if your family member was involved?
