Answer 1

Without knowing what sort of field of study you are doing it's hard to advise you, but it looks like a social science angle to me. So, here goes:

You can consider social change events, like the amendments to the US constitution in respect of the Bill of Rights, suffrage (here meaning women were given the right to vote), Prohibition (and its effects in helping the Mafia to grow), allowing people to vote regardless of their race or color, and reducing the voting age from 21 to 18.

All these amendments were driven by social/political pressure and led to significant changes, and there is a lot of information available on them. Just the effect of lowering the voting age has been very significant.

Other social change issues include the end of the Draft, the effects of the various wars throughout your country's history, and women taking high positions in government. (eg Secretary of State Dr Rice.)

A lot of people may choose 9/11 and its effects on society, and there is sure a huge amount of material you can draw on there. But if you decide to take on that topic, I'd suggest that you try not to focus too much on what has happened since then in terms of changes such as Code Orange Alerts, the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns and so on. Why? Because that is what most people will do.

Instead, you could analyse the mind set of the American people prior to 9/11 and compare it with their reactions to events on that day as they unfolded -- when they realized they were being attacked -- and then finish with a balanced report of how people see themselves now. For example, there are regular surveys these days asking people if they feel more safe or less than on 9/11. Nobody asked such questions before 9/11, because people would just look at them like they were nuts. Attack America? Impossible!

See what I mean? It could be a really good analysis, actually.

Whatever topic you decide to do, concentrate on maintaining a balanced perspective. Discuss positives and negatives, look for and include solid evidence of cause and effect, keep focused on the key point -- to analyse HOW the event affected people -- and try to avoid political bias.

Good luck. Hope this helps you,

Answer 2

You could analyze why the urban student is often left behind. Although there isn't 1 event to support this topic I would still write about the economy and why so many kids in low socio economic areas are falling behind... show statistics and use quotes to support why so many kids fall into this same cycle... for example single parent homes, teen pregnancy, sex, drugs, hunger for money, inner city public school system.... basically use different topics that support why so many urban students end up in prison or dead....Hopefully I gave you atleast an idea....

GOOD LUCK !!

Answer 3

"historic Egyptian Transportation and communique" works for me. Titles of essays do no longer would desire to be catchy and in particular shouldn't you will desire to be stunning or humorous, in basic words descriptive of what's contained in the essay.

Answer 4

The effects of the Iraqi war on our society.
