What I Need to Write?

Question

im working on a piece for my high school paper and i need help choosing a GREAT topic for an opinion piece HELP

Answer 1

Ideally the topic should be something you know about, and have an opinion about. Then, the amount of research is limited as you will have personal experience of it. There is no really "great" topic as such. It is your treatment of it and the way you are able to express yourself that makes it.

Avoid the lame or well worn routes. Be a little unusual. Some of the answers around here contain the sort of creative thinking (as well as crazy) that I consider off the beaten track. Read them a bit. Might spark off ideas. eg. the US democratic elections is a choice between two people. Why only two? Shouldn't there be a few more to make it really democratic? And why these two? Do we call this democracy? etc. etc.
