10 Unique School Essay Writing Ideas
Sometimes coming up with an essay topic for your school assignment can be very difficult. You want to make your essay interesting but you don’t want to overwhelm yourself by taking on too great a task.
Here’s a list of manageable and unique essay writing topics that you will find interesting:
- School Discipline
– How do we foster effective school discipline? Do we need to rethink school discipline in terms of equitable application as it pertains to race and class? Do schools resort quickly to exclusionary discipline even for minor offenses?
- Becoming a Millionaire
– If I were to become a millionaire overnight, how would my life change the following day? Would my life choices differ if I found that I had been given the money but could not spend it for another 5 years? How about 10 years?
- National Patriotism
– What does national patriotism look like today? In what ways has it changed in the last 50 years? Is it still important to foster national patriotism among citizens and our nation’s youth? And what needs to happen in order for national patriotism to come to the forefront?
- Child Labor Around the World
– Is child labor malpractices around the world a global concern or one that our nation should have limited political and social investment in? If child labor laws in other countries were stricter would global poverty increase in scale since children will no longer be able to support or assist their families?
- Are Some School Subjects Are Becoming Obsolete
– With many subjects falling out of fashion, and more colleges needing to have remedial courses in order to accommodate for a lack of certain skills, is it time we look at redesigning curriculum to account for the new topics such as sustainable development and technology application?
- Working mothers
– What differences, if any, are there in children who are raised by stay-at-home mothers and working mothers? Do employers still discriminate against working mothers who seek to have flexible work schedules?
- Obesity and Weight Loss
– Should thin or seemingly healthier people have to pay Medicare and other related health costs for the health problems of obese people? Should clinically obese people have to pay higher premiums?
- Prescription Medication
– Should there be a national database to track recipients of controlled substances? Is this a state issue more than a federal one? Are there privacy concerns that could lead to additional problems?
- Workaholics
– Do people work too hard? Does working more hours per week actually reduce overall productivity? Should we rethink our work-day / work-week to encourage more rest and leisure time (e.g. 10 hour work days with 3 weekend days or 8 hour workdays split with more leisure rest-time in between)?
- Cheap Labor
– Large U.S. companies that move manufacturing factories to undeveloped countries barely pay their oversea employees a living wage. Is it unethical to pay cheap wages or are companies doing those employees a favor?
Of course, there’s a lot more out there to write about. The important thing to notice is that each topic presents you with an opportunity to answer in several different ways. Hopefully, this list gets you started with exploring and coming up with some of your own ideas.
