Need help with this--
"In this exercise you'll write an essay supporting a generalization you've stated about some topic."
Any ideas for generalizations?
"a generalization you've stated..."
What generalizations have you already stated?
Republicans favor business.
Teenagers are seeking their own identities.
Top students work hard.
But I don't like where I can go with any of them, and I can't think of anything more!
Since the assignment reads, " ... a generalization you've stated ... " I don't see that you have much choice unless you can remember others you have written.
Any of those three could become a good paper, no matter what angle you take on it.
Certainly! When it comes to writing an essay supporting a generalization, it's important to choose a topic that allows for a broad statement that can be supported with evidence. Here are a few ideas for generalizations you could consider:
1. "Technology has transformed the way we communicate."
2. "Education is the key to personal and professional success."
3. "Climate change poses a significant threat to our planet."
4. "Social media has had a profound impact on modern society."
5. "Physical exercise leads to improved overall well-being."
6. "Diversity fosters innovation and creativity."
7. "The pursuit of happiness is a fundamental human right."
Once you choose a generalization, you can begin gathering evidence and examples to support your claim. Remember to consider both sides of the argument and counterarguments, providing a balanced perspective in your essay.
