Describe some trend, belief, craze, or product that is currently in vogue and discuss in detail what you believe to be two causes of the phenomenon and two effects. You could, for example, talk about the iPad. What caused the need for us to have a tablet for playing games and music? What caused your need to have such a device? What item existed in the past that did approximately the same task? What do you predict will happen to us, or to you, as a result of it?
Writer and Audience:
To make this assignment more personal, you might pretend that you are trying to persuade a friend that the newer item is better (or worse) than the old item. If you are writing about Old vs. New, for example, you might tell your friend why the new town that you have moved to, or the new car you’ve bought, etc., is better than (or worse than) the old town, or the old car, that you and your friend once lived in or owned together. If you are writing about the Latest Fad, then try to persuade your friend that the new phone, or the new TV, or the new style of clothes, is really going to change how we view or interact with the world around us.
