Q: I have a politics essay tomorrow, and we haven't been given the topic. However, I made up a few of my own topics so I could practice.
What I want to know is, if you have a essay topic like "Australia is more democratic than the USA" Can you give reasons why it is and it isn't? Or is it better to argue from one point of view? I've just been arguing from one point of view, but I'm not sure whether teachers always expect a comparison.
And in cases like "To what extent to both countries uphold democratic values?" do I have to argue one point of view too? i.e. they both don't, or they both do? I just want to know the right way to do it so I achieve the highest possible marks.
I will rate. Thanks for your help.

I think you should pick one point to argue over, but bring up ways that the other point may be argued. For example, "Some might say that Austrailia is not as democratic because...((I have no idea)).., but this is not the case" So bring up opposing arguments and then refute them. It will make it seem like your position is the obvious answer.
The second way sounds a bit too complicated, just because you will probably find things that are the same with both countries and it will be hard to keep the paper going. But if you do choose this topic, I would argue the same point for both of them.
If you have any more questions, feel free to send them my way!

Q: Hey. I'm 13 years old and in 8th grade at the moment. Right now I'm registering for high school classes for next year. I'm definitely taking Latin 1. Since there aren't very many honors classes for freshmans, I think I want to take Spanish 1 also (it's not a honors class. I want to take it because I think I can use it a lot in the real world or w/e). My question is, do you think I should take 2 languages?
Thanks.

Taking up two languages at the same time might be a little confusing. If you can, take Latin 1 your freshman year, and then when you become a sophomore, take Latin 2 and Spanish 1. That way you'll be able to use your basic knowledge of Latin in learning Spanish, but you won't get the two confused. (Trust me, I tried learning Greek and French at the same time, and it can get pretty confusing, even if the languages don't sound that much alike)Ultimately, follow what you think will be right for you, but there's my input on the decision. Freshman year can be a little overwhelming in itself, taking two languages might just complicate things a bit more.

Hiya! I'm dwarp. A crazy 19 year old from Chicago with too much time on her hands.I started this column when I was about 14, I think and I keep coming back. My friends tend to come to me for advice, so I've gotten pretty good at answering most problems. I'm a crazy Greek vegetarian, and yes, I have seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding. It's exactly like my family, so I am really great at answering questions about insane families. I study political science and international studies and I like to learn languages. I speak English, French, German, a bit of Greek, and I'm learning Italian next semester. I've had lots of weirdo love/sex-life experiences, so I'm pretty knowledgeable in that area. Ummm.....ask me anything!
Peace!
