While hip-hop culture and music had its start in the United States, today there are just as many interpretations of what hip-hop is about in Third World countries. Write about how hip-hop artists in these countries utilize the musical style for social activism, in particular. To keep your essay concise and to the point, focus on two countries of a certain continent. Research this topic in nonfiction books, newspaper articles and scholarly journals.
Another idea is to discuss the influence that conspiracy theories have had on American culture since Sept. 11, 2001. Discuss whether the increase in conspiracy theories' influence has to do with the American citizens' growing distrust of the U.S. government's policies and promises following Sept. 11. In your introduction, start with a short background on the history of conspiracy theories in America.
Write an essay that deals with how Afro-Hispanics view themselves as a race in Latin America.

A final idea is to write an essay in which you discuss the increasing number of new college graduates who are struggling to find work in their field of study. Talk about factors that are contributing to this problem, such as the economic downturn and a change in trends regarding which careers are in demand. If possible, incorporate some real-life stories of college graduates who are in this situation.
