I have an assignment coming up to write an argumentative essay. Does anyone have any unique or interesting topic ideas that could make my essay stand out? And of course, it should be something debatable.
Sure, I can definitely share some thought-provoking argumentative essay topics. Remember though, the best topic will depend on what you are deeply interested in, as your passion and knowledge will no doubt come through in your writing.
1. "The impact of universities adopting test-blind admissions policies": This is an evolving space in higher education and there's lots of debate around equity, the efficacy of standardized tests, etc.
2. "The role of AI and automation in the future job market": This is a contemporary issue that could be explored from many different angles, such as the ethics of automation, the potential impact on the labor market, and the mitigation strategies.
3. "The effectiveness of universal basic income": This is a concept that's been tried in various capacities and lends itself to a rich discussion about the merits and downsides.
4. "The influence of social media on mental health": This is a pressing issue especially among teens and college students. You could explore the psychological effects of social media and whether regulatory changes are necessary.
5. “The ethical implications of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)”: Biotechnology is a field that's progressing rapidly and the ethical implications of GMOs continue to be a hot-button issue.
