Help with a certain type of essay?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>So I have read a bunch of different articles and posts about how to write a good SAT Essay, including the famous "How to get a 12 in 10 Days". However, the one type of essay prompt that still troubles me is when the prompt asks something about the world TODAY or MODERN topics. For example, "is creativity needed more than ever in the world today?". This also applies to questions involving technology and the internet or other modern ideas. </p>

<p>How do I connect academic/historic examples to these types of prompts when they do not seem to be relevant?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for the help.</p>

<p>You can also use recent news articles, journals, scientific research, etc. to support your claims, which, in my opinion, seems more relevant than 18th century literature when it comes to these topics. I’m not an SAT essay expert, but that’s what I would do if I had to write another one.</p>
