The Problem
A problem-solution essay identifies the causes of a problem and then argues in favor of specific solutions. Unlike our previous essays, this essay requires you to develop a topic on your own. You must choose a specific problem, figure out what has led to that problem, and offer realistic, helpful solutions. We've already brainstormed the big, general topic choices below, so you need to narrow down and focus the specific problem within your topic choice.
