How to Write an Essay on Social Issues?

Your professor or teacher will ask you to look for an interesting social issues essay
topic or problem solution essay topics for your upcoming assignment as part of your
course work. Such assignments allow teens and young adults to express their opinions
about the trendiest topics of 2019 that affect everybody. Your classroom is a safe
environment where you can talk about what you think without being judged, and this is a
chance that you shouldn’t waste.
In order to write a perfect essay, you will have to follow a few steps:

 Choose your Topic Wisely

Your focus on choosing a relevant social problem topic of 2019 will pay off. It should be
something that will cause some controversy and keep your audience interested. It
should also be something that you should easily research so you should find enough
evidence and proof to support your ideas. Check with your teacher or professor to make
sure that your topic is acceptable for 2019 and can be discussed at school or college.
You can refer to trending hashtags of 2019 on media platforms or check your daily
newspaper for news. Pay attention to international news as well. It is a good way to
understand what is going on in different parts of the world and how they affect
Americans living in the States.
Some relevant global social problems are as follows income inequality (poverty),
corruption, the rise in authoritarianism (erosion of democratic values), criminality,
unsustainable development, bullying in schools.

 Spend Time on Research

You should always look for academically proved and reliable sources that you can cite
in your essay. It won’t be acceptable to list your opinions without using enough logic
proof.
Some students simply rely on the media for examples to include in their tasks. This is
risky because the world of the media industry is affected by political influence and can
be biased. It is recommended to rely on academically approved sources to find relevant
examples.

 Support your Opinion with Examples

Stay attentive to find relevant examples. Since you are talking about a social topic of
2019, you find relevant examples in daily life, and media trends. Use your example to
support your opinion and explain it. It should be easy to understand.
 Keep it Simple:

Your essay is a chance to express your opinion and say what you believe about a
current social issue or situation of 2019. This is why you need to make sure that you
have used the right words to express your point of view. Use simple and relevant words
to explain what you mean that won’t confuse your audience.

 Revise and Edit:

Before submitting your assignment, you need to make sure that it is flawless and error-
free. Complete spelling and grammar check to revise your task for spelling, grammar,
and punctuation mistakes. Such errors should alter the meaning of your sentences and
confuse your readers. Always use a plagiarism checker to make sure you're submitting
a plagiarism-free paper.
