For my essay topic for our third and fourth essay assignments, I think I’m going to focus on competition’s role in college, and how it is a necessary evil. There are many forms of competition on college campuses, including social and academic pressures. This competition starts before one is even accepted to college and will follow them when they are well out of college in their career. While many students do not appreciate the stress that this competition may provide them, it is necessary as it prepares students to be able to deal with other forms of competition they will face for the rest of their lives. Competition drives students to do better and work harder, and I believe that if taken constructively it can be a very positive motivator for students to be the best they can be.
My second idea for this essay topic would be crime on college campuses. I’m still a little wary of committing to this topic because I know it’s very broad, but I feel that there is a lot I could talk about regarding this topic. I don’t yet know what my thesis would be, but I could talk about the different forms of crime, how it affects student offenders, and the various degrees of severity of crimes on college campuses. I would need to research this topic a little and come up with a thesis before I would commit to it though. I feel I could do a lot with it but it’s still too broad.
