I want to write on a topic that is at least somewhat controversial in an effort to maintain the audience’s interest. At this point, I have no idea what I could write about. I think that it would be much easier to write on a phrase or issue as opposed to a single word. A few topics that I am now thinking include the definition of the word “indie”. Of late, the word has become more of a description of a person’s appearance and attitude. Few people understand that the word originally was intended to describe different, almost taboo art forms, including movies and music. Many “indie” people now aren’t really all that independent. They just believe that by dressing a certain way, they are unique and cool. Another avenue I could approach is definition of American. To the outside world, Americans are typically rude, over weight idiots. Most other countries assume that we sit around and eat McDonalds all day. I’d like to redefine the term American as other societies few in an attempt to shed light on what it truly means to be an American. Possible subtopics for this essay could include noteworthy American people that have contributed to the world, events that have distinguished our people, and the pros of American society. I also could write about the definition of a man and a woman. Over the last century, the idea of a man and a woman have changed drastically, and not for the better. I think it would be very interesting to define both a man and a woman in their original light, and compare it to the modern day definition.
