Choose one of the following topics as a prompt for an essay. Remember, an essay doesn't have to be a 5 Paragraph Theme, but it should be a well organized and reasoned discussion that includes an introduction, body, and conclusion. Use the statement you choose as part of your Introduction. Be sure to tie the topics into what you've learned from the real-world information you read in this unit as well as the book (quote examples from both texts and make sure to cite the article(s) you include). Each time you transition into a new topic make certain that you are starting a new paragraph.
