<p>for my global issue essay, does it neccesarily have to be directly concerning me. like can i just talk about a global issue and why its unethical and stuff?</p>
<p>I don’t know what you mean by your “global issue essay.” Are you talking about one of the prompts on the Common App? The Common App essay should first and foremost be personal. Talk about how the issue affected you, for example. The college essay is not meant to be an academic essay that you might write in school.</p>
