SFS global issue essay

<p>Briefly discuss a current global issue, indicating why you consider it important and what you suggest should be done to deal with it. (1 page)</p>

<p>Is the essay supposed to be analytical and well-researched or more of a personal essay? Should I use personal pronouns? thanks</p>

<p>Also.. if it's supposed to be analytical and you use facts to support your arguments.. do you need to source that?! Please help</p>

<p>it should definitely be more analytical than other essays (like the autobiography one).. but it can also be about something you experienced, so you can use personal pronouns.. and about the source, it wouldn't hurt to site it, or you can just paraphrase it and not site....</p>

<p>Im applyin to MSB but this could be a could topic...</p>

<p>-The influence of communism principles and its economic implications in Post Soviet countries?</p>

<p>Ummm, that's way too technical. Be analytical, but have a heart too. And keep in mind, you are just a high school student...your essay can be smart without being cocky. </p>

<p>Last year we had a pretty exhaustive list of topics on here, you can get an idea for the extent of the essays people wrote. It's only a page, so you can't really go that in depth.</p>

<p>What do you think would be better (or more appropriate, I guess): an essay on the disappearance of languages and how that leads to a lack of cultural diversity + different perspectives, ways of thinking, etc. or an essay about UN reform?</p>

<p>I would definitely say the former. I applied RD, but got in ED to Princeton so I will never know what Georgetown would have said. I wrote about MNC's and their oppression of Latin America, and how I relate to Latin America because im hispanic. The former has more heart in it. UN reform is kind of cliche.</p>

<p>thanks "dude," and congratulations on princeton!!!</p>
