Issue Topic:

1. The study of history places too much emphasis on individuals. The most significant events and trends in history were made possible not by the famous few, but by groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten.


Argument Topic:

1. The following is a letter to the editor of the Waymarsh Times. Traffic problems here in Waymarsh are obviously reaching record levels. While just three months ago it would take me 15 minutes to get to work, it now takes closer to 25. Waymarsh should follow the example of our neighboring city Graysville. Last year, Graysville implemented a policy that rewards people who share rides to work with coupons for free gas. Pollution levels in Graysville have dropped since the policy was implemented, and several friends who live in Graysville tell me that their trip to work is quicker than it used to be. With the terrible traffic and high pollution in Waymarsh, we must implement a policy similar to Graysville.
