• Choose a current world event (in other words, not an event that happened in the United States or primarily affects the United States) and explain how an understanding of history deepens an understanding of that event.

• Or you can write about how/why studying history should be important to the global citizen.

• You must give specific examples from both history and contemporary or "current" events to support your arguments and analysis.
