For this essay, you are encouraged to use different types of sources of evidence from text and media, including

There is no prompt for this essay; it is up to you to choose a topic and create the specific focus of your essay.
However, the general topic of your essay should tackle issues you may notice going on in your community or
at the national level. Your topic and focus must also be timely (culturally, socially, or politically), and must
address possible underlying causes. In other words, connect your topic and focus to the bigger “picture.”
Questions to help you figure out what the bigger “picture” might be:
1. Are the issues you’ve chosen to address in your essay a symptom or effect of some larger issue?
2. How did these issues come about?
3. What do these issues reveal about our community? Our society? Our culture? Our country?
