research paper topic free write

For my research paper I am going to be researching in the field of public health. I haven't thought too much about what exactly I want to talk about, but in class the topic that came to mind was ebola. I would like to talk about the disease in general, but I would also like to research the effects of the name "ebola" and they way that people reacted to it when it came to America. Also how that had an effect on the views americans had about people from southern Africa where I believe it came from.
