<p>Hey I just wrote my SFS essay about Darfur. But I was thinking, is that topic really cliche??
Thanks.</p>
<p>I'm sure there won't be a shortage of Darfur essays, but as long as your approach was unique and not just reiterrating what's been said and reported the past year, you should be ok. Personally I did mine about spreading democracy in Central Asia.</p>
<p>hey guys i dont want to steal your thread, but i was just wondering if you could help me out a little bit, are your sfs essays more analyitical and fact oriented, or more personal? because originally i was going to write about something more personal to me (somewhere along the lines of being arab-american, muslim, specific things that have happend to me and then tie that in with conflict in the middle east etc.) but, not only is that essay too long, but i feel like it isn't really detail oriented and specific... do you think i should just pick a diff. specific topic and stick to it? any help would be absolutley amazingg, thanks so much!</p>
<p>I wrote mine in a more analytical sense. I think they're looking for your knowledge and grasp of world affairs more than information about yourself (which the other essay should be about).</p>
<p>k, thanks!</p>
<p>I wrote mine on tobacco abuse. i wanted it to be intense and a major issue, but also soemthing few other people would think of, and an issue that is not given enough attention.</p>
<p>I think alanstewart's advise is good. I think the SFS essay is supposed to be more analytical. My son (who is at Gtown SFS now) wrote about cyber crime. Any issue you choose is fine, just make sure you write a thoughtful essay. Good luck to you all!!</p>
<p>ahh! i wrote about darfur too!</p>
<p>I really don't think it matters what topic you write about, as long as you bring up new and interesting points ABOUT that topic that will stand out to the readers.</p>
<p>ahhh i'm getting really worried about my essay. i'm so nervous!!!!!</p>
