    if ur stumped and u can choose anything you want... then choose something else :S
    also, a good essay is an essay that has a specific topic. this is TOO general.

    a specific topic is good for a short eassy... 10 pages is medium, so it should require a bit of a general topic

    atm i'm writing a 2 page essay on why free trade is bad (geography as my elective), but this is a little one, I have yet to write a 20 page essay due in a month (and i'm a biomed major, don't come across essays often )

    English has never been my subject, and I took geography as my elective (meaning an extra course) so I don't care whether I write essays amazing or not. So if you ever think of changing your topic, you can use mine ... here is my rough work so far.





    People these days are largely manipulated by the propaganda and the false media presented in our daily lives, but we also know that this is only to keep us from knowing the worst-case scenarios about those specific situations that are at discussions. Free trade sounds appealing when being said, but it’s not so pleasant knowing why it is so bad. It includes corruption of certain groups, the disparities of wealth, putting poor nations into debt bondages and causing instability.

    One of the biggest negative effects of free trade is the disparities of wealth and the partial cause of it, corruption. As the amount of free trading increases, the power and efficiency of the most powerful manufacturers grows even further. This is why small countries that try to profit from this, cannot do so, only due to the fact that they don’t have great efficiency, therefore not being able to compete. Ever since free trading began, the poor countries became more miserable then they were in the past. The rich countries buy up finished goods made by the poor countries, while the poor countries buy consumables in exchange. By this process of trading, it clearly depicts that the rich countries are controlling the poor countries. Hence the rich become richer and the poor become poorer. Every business, such as free trading, includes people who are willing to cheat their way into wealthiness, otherwise known as corruption. So not only do the big producers get richer through free trade, but they also have specific groups and people that get even wealthier by pulling a few strings in the administration of the company and getting a bigger percentage of an overall income.

    The rich countries usually loan immense amounts of money to the poor countries in order to assist the poor countries in the import of goods and services from the rich countries under free trade. When these loans that the poor countries received, cannot be paid off, the poor country enters a state of debt bondage, which is a form of slavery. Likewise, when the people involved in the process of the free trade, the poor villagers, have an unpayable debt that they pass on from generation to generation, this is also called debt bondage, which as we’ve seen before in history, is slavery. Therefore free trade only leads the poor countries to lose their freedom, wealth and honor, as they become slaves and humiliate themselves in front of the other nations.

    Through free trade, countries become tightly bonded, economically wise, which results in an overall instability at some point in time. If the whole world is interconnected through free trade and operates as a single economy, the whole world economy will either sink or swim. When the world trade decreases significantly, all of the countries that were dependent upon the trade will be severely hit, as they no longer will have the money to be taking imports of the resources they need, and as well as not having a national industry to produce them. Therefore this guarantees that the next global downturn will be very huge causing a vast amount of unemployed workers, and when this happens, rest assured, it will take the nations years to stabilize.

    Knowing the negative outcomes of free trade, will show people that those appealing words “free trade” aren’t so appealing knowing that they can cause corruption, the disparities of wealth, putting poor nations into debt bondages and causing instability.

    Religions are holding human advancement back for sure. Believing to paranoid people that lived 2000 years before me, makes me feel sick. All these old traditions are the reason why we are not flying in UFO's.

    you could go into the greek and roman gods, and how they were created in order to explain the unexplainable at the time. From there you could link the god of war to your religion is source of wars.

    the majority is supposed to be about loving thy neighbor, not stealing
    and promoting peaceful things. Yet if such large part of the world is
    religious how come the majority of the world is full of violence? Could it
    be the religion is in fact a “wolf in sheep’s clothing?”
    I. Religion has been the cause of war for centuries.
    A. The Crusades
    B. The “War on Terror” today
    C. The Thirty Year War
    D. The massacre of Indian Independence

    II. Religion is responsible for persecution, abuse, and even murder
    A. The Salem Witch Trials
    B. WestBoro Baptist Church
    C. Slavery

    III. Religion is responsible for suppression of science

    Well idk if ya know abt Cults...they are kinda of a religion but usually they would have a leader, and some of them are fundamentalist....idk where there was one of these cults which actually did lots of terrorist attacks on various places...so religions can give power to ppl (usually mad ones) through faith :S

    Well religion was one of the things that most hinder some scientific advancements and scientific theories...like Galileo and his theory that we rotate around the sun not vice versa...

    Ofc der is lots of good things that religion has done society wise but thats an off topic

    Hope it helps just things that came to my mind

    Edit: I've heard stories of circa. 50 years ago that ppl used to pray to the holy spirit to have a baby! Sad but true they didnt even know what to do once they got married...Imagine the shock they had when they told them lmao..so ye it leads to some ignorance and superstition too

    You should turn your topic argumentative/philosophical. By this I mean could you turn it into what's the nature of the belief in some type of religion and how this might blind humanity to the real truth.

    This might help

    Is Religion Simply A Security Blanket? INTELLIGENT Discussion With NO FLAMING

    There lots of points of view of people which makes it extremely interesting.

    Effects of religion on the goverment. The seperation of church and state was never fully completed. Such as religions, ie churches, funding propositions, bills, or election officials.
