Hi D-Block,
Comment here with your idea for an essay topic. Don't worry if you are doing something the same or similar to other students, that is to be expected.
If you are stuck for ideas think about Social Justice issues we've discussed in class.
Equality Rights
Democratic issues
Issues in media
Consumerism
Class struggles
Environmentalism
I'm looking forward to seeing what you are interested in.
Have a good weekend,
-Mr. Miller

Egocentric Celebrities: Celebrities could be spending their money on the hunger and homeless instead of having the world revolve around them. Example, Justin Timberlake has many cars that cost a lot of money. What else do you think he could've done with that money?
