Illegal immigration is the biggest topic right now as far as border control. So is the bill passing through the senate about English becoming the official language of America. \n\nThe NSA scandal is mostly conspiracy theories at this point in the media. \n\nYou'll cover more ground on the immigration issues. I am giving you links to the most well-respected media outlets.\n\nGood luck on your paper :O)

By narrowing down what you want to talk about. There was a lot that happened in the 19th century, and a lot's going on right now. What in particular would you like to compare? Politics, business, fashion, science, religion? Just pick one of them, and be specific. Otherwise, you'll write a book!

Be unique and let your writing speak for itself. Write a paper giving your opinion on a controversial matter or a hot topic in your school or community. Then either hang it up or pass it out at your school - campaigning with something like "Vote for me - School Journalist" or something similar to that.  Good Luck.

Anything that has to do with politics or religions will be a good topic, but becareful these topics can turn into anger and violence.  \n\nA good topic should be one that people usually have strong and mixed opinions on.

I can't think of a topic since you say you're not interested in politics. Here's a website that might help you though:\nhttp://vos.ucsb.edu/

There a lots of great ways to start this paper.  If I were writing it, I would probably start out with some interesting statistics and maybe even tell the story of Governor George Ryan (IL) commuting all the death sentences in Illinois before he left office a few years ago.  Or you could open with a couple of stories on both sides of the argument.  Good luck writing this.

how about concentrating on stories of the 'little people'.  ordinary, everyday folk who aren't famous or infamous, just folk doing what they know to do.  like a teacher, a baker, a grandmother, a street sweeper?   try to find beauty in the ordinaryness of life and tie it in with a faint reference to new york.  write your paper so that it is up to the reader to decide the 'value' of the life or dynamics of the person / place interface.  i think too many people are obsessed with ideas about ' dark', 'funniest', 'best', 'worst', . . . it is boring and meaningless.

Try writing on the travel industry's come back since 9/11, what precautions they now have to take, which are practical, which are crazy, airfare prices, how many people travel now and what different races encounter when at the airport.\n\nOr try writing about the death penalty and how it's screwed up because so many innocents are put to death.\n\nOr write about kids "cartoons" and how they affect their actions...I'm talking SpongeBob Pokemon, crap like that.\n\nBetter yet, talk about World of Warcraft, how Blizzard created it, got psychologists to make it addictive, etc and talk about the effect it's having on American Families.  There's an article on MacLean's...it's a canadian mag in the january issue.  Just search from their site for World of Warcraft.\n\ngood luck with your paper!

I once wrote a compare and contrast essay on romaine lettuce and iceberg lettuce. It was actually quite interesting, and I hardly had to do any research! \nOther topics: apples vs. tomatoes, written book vs. audio book, laptop vs. computer, US vs. Iraq, pen vs pencil...just look around the room, pick any two objects, and write about them!

Please specify the topic.

Find a topic to write about, somthing like current world events, or some historical event. Go to the library and look up information (Facts) about that event. Then write these facts in a report. Basically tell a story of the event and use these facts to support your story. Remember Facts are "true statements" that can be supported with referenced data. So when you use any of the facts you find in the library make sure you reference your sources.\n\n...something the current news media has forgotten....

It really depends on you. The best topic would be any topic that you are really interested in... something that you know about, and something that you think is important and that would be relevant for your audience.

So the topic is your choice I'm assuming since you did not state your topic. Truthfully I would go with you are passionate about. Poverty in america, The stereotype of the nuclear family, Why sleep is necessary for societt's students, etc. If you need help please contact me, I would be glad to help you.

Try to find some sort of controversial topic, this way, you will be able to find lots of info. But try to avoid overused topics; abortion, capital punishment, etc. Good topics (that do need to be narrowed) might be UFOs, conspiracy theories, free speech(I did one on protests and why they should be regulated). But most importantly, pick something of interest to you. For example, I know someone that likes fantasy books, so she wrote about witchcraft references in Harry Potter.\nYou can get a lot of GOOD info on civil liberties from things like Supreme Court decisions.
