I need help...?

Question:I need help learning how to write essays, I know nothing about sociology, and i am not a very opinionated person, My teacher told us to write a 2-5 page essay on any two social issues in the world and how they concern me, and I don't know how...


1.Name two social issues that really concern you?
2.In naming these issues, how has your own lived experience influenced your assumptions, biases, beliefs of the issues? What influence does you age, sex, gender, race/ethnicity, religious affiliation have on shaping these issues?
3.What sources and/or people did or do you rely on for your understanding of the social world, either formally or informally?

I only learn good from examples, and she didn't help at all. and it was the second day of school : ( please help...

Answers:
Think about this-
1. What do you care about? What is happening in the world that seems important to you? The war in Iraq? Recovery in New Orleans? Immigration problems between the US and Mexico?
2. Why are these issues important to YOU -- because you have something in common with the people who are affected (you are one, you know one, you feel like one of them).
3. How did you find out about these issues?

Try talking to someone (a friend or family member) and telling them your answers like you are telling a story. Write notes when you say something you like on sheets of paper numbered 1,2, and 3 (to relate to each question number).

Afterwards, sit down and put your notes into paragraphs. This will be easier after you've already talked through it.

Hope this helps!
