 Why is the sky blue? Why is there a sky? Why can't we touch the sky? 

3 questions all requiring different resources to answer 

Why is the sky blue? this is a reasearch question to explain what has been done. 

Why is there a sky? This is a question that requires a belief, backed up by evidence to support that belief. An answer that will cause debates for hours on end, then there is an actionable question of why can't we touch it? Well, can we? literally? metaphorically? 

I decided to lay the foundation of the questions we ask because not every question has an answer, and some questions require a foundation of beliefs gained through life's questioning. Anywho here are some questions I am asking myself ot help guide my capstone project and guide the trajectory of my lifes work of Youth Development.
