Essay Topics
Three topics that I would be interested in writing about are how airplanes have affected the country, how is the present day economy effecting everyday people, and how much technology has changed our lives. I know there are many more topics that I could have chosen, but these are the topics that sparked my attention the most.
When it comes to airplanes I know quite a bit about how they fly and I even know how to fly them. I can also identify quite a few of the World War II fighters just by looking at them. But I never thought about how they affect our country, because when you think about it airplanes do more than just carry people to vacation spots. They transport goods all over the United States and the world, which has a big impact on our economy. I would also like to learn how they helped defend this country in World War II against the Germans and the Japanese, and how they still do defend this country today. I would like to write my essay on airplanes because ever since I can remember I have always had an interest in them and wanted to be a pilot.
Another topic I would like to write about is how the present economy is affecting everyday people. I know that the economy keeps going down, and from what I have seen it is showing no signs of coming back up soon. What I would like to know is, how many people have lost their jobs, because lately I have been hearing a lot of companies laying off employs and not even having enough money to give them there last checks. A few more questions that I would like to find out the answer to by righting this paper are how the current economy is affecting the housing market and the war. I would like to write my paper on this particular subject because I would like to figure out how the current economy might affect me in the near future.
The last subject that I would like to write about for this paper is how technology has changed our lives. I know about the obvious ways it has changed our lives like how I am typing this paper instead of hand writing it. But what other ways besides the obvious has technology changed us? That is what I want to find out from this paper, because when you stop and think about it technology has to do with much more than computers. For example the new materials and ways they use to make cars safer is technically new technology. I would like to write my paper on this subject because I would like to point out the less noticeable technologies that we all take for granted.
