<p>"Choose an issue of importance to youthe issue could be personal, school related, local, political, or international in scopeand write an essay in which you explain the significance of that issue to yourself, your family, your community, or your generation."</p>
<p>When it comes to issue of importance, is it asking to mention a specific issue that is considered widespread or universal (ex. discrimination, global warming, animal cruelty, etc.)?</p>
<p>I wanted to write about stereotyping and how people should not socially (and blindly) accept others based on their looks/appearances. Would you consider stereotyping as an issue of importance?</p>
