Help with a prompt for English!!! I need two paragraphs on either describe some of the challenges facing the American people during the late 20th and early 21st centuries or explain the effects of cultural diversity among the American people during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. I don't want someone to write it for me i'm just having trouble getting started...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

what is your choice?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I mean what topic did you choose?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried both but I got stuck on both...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Lets do the first topic. ~~~~~ People have been facing challenges throughout all generations, however as technology has grown; although it removed some challenges, it has also led to many new ones. ~~~~~ this is how I would think to begin, but I was never good at writing introductions.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

then I would expand on: 1) How media and internet has bad effect on people. -- computer games -- inappropriate adult content 2) How people (esp. in US) become fat because they are lazy (due to technological investments of comfort that the (now) have. (I mean not walking when close enough-- this is a personal health concern) 3) Use of counting machines to count and do other brain work for you, which leads to generations becoming less and less intellectual. this is what pups up in my head right away, for a thought.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

My essay is a start is already narrowed to technology. if you want, we can make a better start that would include all types of challenges. As it is now though, I am talking to myself, lol, so see you, hopefully.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry @SolomonZelman My dad travels out of the country for work and he just called

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am not upset or anything of this sort. I was just trying to let you know why I left.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay thank you. My biggest problem is that I have to "cite textual evidence" in my writing from two poems- One Today and On the Pulse of Morning

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because of that I was trying to write about the conflict with Iraq and other middle eastern countries for the conflict prompt

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Oh, I haven't read that story ...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I would look online and see what topics do discussions about this story tend to approach, if you have to relate this story.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um basically On Pulse is about looking to history to learn for the future and striving for peace

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One Today is about how we are all the same regardless of race, religion, or class

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

this I would guess is an American book written in the middle 20th century then? I mean the topic is so "anti-soviet" I mean I can't help you going on from what the book says, but if you need ideas about a particular topic or theme, I will try to help to the best on my ability.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just need a theme, something to get me started. I'm usually really good at English assignments like this...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

unlike me:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are poems btw

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Well, I tried to start off about challenges, since you proposed that as the topic you want to work on, but, as a again, i can't help you if this help should be based on the book. I simply haven't read it -:(

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I can revise my initial proposition: ~~~~~ People have been facing challenges throughout all generations, however as some old challenges have disappeared, new ones came along. ~~~~~ (a more general start)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

If English was my first language, then I would have been much more knowledgeable to help you. As it is now though, do you have any other concerns? Maybe I should throw more ideas about the challenges (asides from the aforementioned ones, about technology)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You were plenty helpful. Thank you. I think I can get it from here.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Nice to hear that! If you have any other questions, I can help with Math, History (many times), Latex (especially) and some others... don't be afraid to tag me even if I won't know how to help... yw:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright Thanks again!
