Topic 1
"The arts (painting, music, literature, etc.) reveal the
otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of a society."
Topic 2
"The chief benefit of the study of history is to break down
the illusion that people in one period of time are significantly
different from people who lived at any other time in history."
Arguement
The following appeared as part of an article in a health magazine.
"A new discovery warrants a drastic change in the diets of people
living in the United States. Two scientists have recently suggested
that omega -3 fatty acids (found in some fish and fish oils) play a
key role in mental health. Our ancestors, who ate less saturated fat
and more polyunsaturated fat, including omega -3 fatty acids, were
much less likely to suffer from depression than we are today.
Moreover, modern societies—such as those in Japan and Taiwan—that
consume large quantities of fish report depression rates lower than
that in the United States. Given this link between omega -3 fatty
acids and depression, it is important for all people in the United
States to increase their consumption of fish in order to prevent
depression."
