You’re an American living in the year 1939. Suddenly, you’re abducted by aliens and transported forward in time to the year 2021. Write an essay in which you analyze the key economic, social, political, and cultural changes in the U.S. since 1939. How is this “new” America different from the nation you left behind?
Try to focus on the big picture — major changes, not trivia.
The essay should be approximately 1000-1500 words. Use one inch margins and double-space or space and a half. Make sure the title of your essay clearly refers to the specific question you’re addressing.
In writing the essay make sure you have a clear introduction, main body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Make sure that you support all main points with specific examples. You should look at the General Guidelines for Papers to ensure that you’re writing the best essay possible.
