Make Your Essay Topic Based on Social Class Norms
Make Your Essay Topic Based on Social Class NormsThe introduction of the SAT writing part was a blessing for most students, as it created an open space for them to use their creativity and put their creative talents to the test. More so, they are allowed to write about social classes in American society, in their own words. However, not all students succeed in writing their essays in social classes as the essay topics are poorly chosen.To the best of my knowledge, there is no recognized criterion to determine which students can write about social classes and which cannot. For example, the criteria may be given in the introduction to the exam, which the teacher will read to the students before taking the exam. However, judging the quality of the essay based on the essay topic is wrong.My personal view is that if a teacher gives the students a 'list' of topics (testicle) they must discuss, then that testicle should be based on well-known social class norms. When a topic has more than o ne topic, a student who is in poor social class should try to come up with topics for the first or second topic, even if that topic is embarrassing.Of course, I can't actually say which topics are socially inappropriate for any given student because the social class norms are subjective. If a teacher declares that 'all teachers are equal' and his or her students behave badly, that would have nothing to do with the student's ability to evaluate his or her writing skills. However, my point is that it would be a wrong choice of essay topics if it is based on politically correct ideas.In fact, I would say that the very concept of putting a topic on the essay does not make sense. There should not be a topic that only an 'equal' teacher can judge and those who behave badly could not.Sociological study of classes is not an easy task, as some teachers make students commit a sin by asking them to prove their knowledge of social classes. You can always find an exception, but in general, that will be the rule. The students are free to choose their topic for their essay, but they shouldn't make the topic taboo.Also, I have seen so many test takers who didn't know what the essay was for, while those who were in good social class could identify the test questions. Most test takers do not know the exact reason why they failed and they have nothing to blame except themselves. For these students, their essay topics shouldn't be based on social class norms, but on the topic of their course.
