Write a persuasive essay that uses first-hand experiences and observations to illustrate your points on a social issue; instead of relying on information gathered through research. This essay aims to convince a general audience to perceive and/or act on a specific situation or widespread problem as you suggest they do. So while your paper can take a problem/solution approach, a solution may not be necessary depending on your writing.
Examples of social issues:
Types of prisoner rights violations
Can vaccinations be mandatory?

Online education as a cause of obesity
The economic effect of rising sea levels
The results of the gender pay gap on the economy
Ways to stop racial discrimination in schools
