I think a good topic for essay 4 would be What America should do instead of going to war. This subject is current and is important, it may bring some students up to date on what is going on in the world because we are part of it.

I am also interested in the topic brought up by st-wwjd. I am a multiracial female, (my mother is white and my dad is black), and since I was little I have always had a problem when it comes to filling out the race portion.

A good topic for essay 4 would be what should be done about the ever-rising cost of tuition and parking permits.

I would be interested in finding out more about the idea of bringing back the draft. What would be better? Should we institute the draft if the war continues for more than six months or a year? What would that mean in terms of cost to our economy and would it benefit us as a country to have everyone contribute, this would possibly reduce the amount of protests against the war if you see first hand what is at stake....
