Let us now focus our analytical lens on the United States of America. Have you had personal experiences that taught you something about positives and negatives of American society? Have you experienced something that made you say to yourself, “This is why American society is so well developed?” Or, on the contrary, has there been an experience that made you think, “This is a major problem that undermines America’s development?” I want to strongly emphasize that this essay should be a personal one. It has to be about you and what you had experienced. Your essay should not begin with a statement such as “I think this is why America is well developed” or “I think this is a major problem in America.” Rather, start by being specific and personal: “I experienced this and I believe it is one of the reasons why America is well developed.” Or, you could start with “I went through this particular experience that led me to believe it is a major issue that American society must resolve for the future development.” Also, concentrate on one issue or experience. Please do not simply list the factors that you think make America strong such as (1) democracy (2) rich natural resources (3) high-tech industries….and so on for the strength, or (1) war in Iraq (2) racial tension (3) illegal immigration, for America’s weaknesses. That is nothing more than objectifying the issue.
