Essay ideas?

I really feel like I need to become more educated. I'm pretty sure (maybe this shows my lack of education) that if you don't use certain parts of your brain, the neurological pathways don't work so well. I'm feeling like my brain needs some more stimulation. So I have idea... I may be setting myself up to do something that sounds like a good idea now but is really foolish. This will also test if people actually, 1) look at this blog, and 2) care what I write.
So here's the idea. You, the reader suggests something for me to research and learn about. Having made myself educated, I'll then post a synopsis of my findings. Basically, I'm asking for essay ideas. It can be something that you're interested in or just anything that you think could be good to learn about. It can be about current affairs, historical events, people, places, faith and religion, just to name a few.
If you have suggestions, please leave a comment with your idea.
Thanks in anticipation.

hi Brad!

How about you 'read up' on Globalisation and especially perhaps in regards to poverty.

Tomorrow is Blog Action Day (google it) and you can sign up to post about poverty in some way shape or form. Really good opportunity to boost awareness.

I will be reading,
Cheers

Hey Bec.
Good idea about globalisation. Not sure I'll be able to write something up by tomorrow though.. I'll see what I can do.

Keep the ideas coming in!

Define, discuss and compare the strengths and weaknesses of the penal substitutionary and the moral influence theories of the atonement, defending one or the other using biblical and theological sources. A bibliography is required for this assignment.

Bakes, that's cheating!! Although I thought about asking Brad to write a bible study - again 2000 words and based on selected passages from Hebrews would be great!

Nice try Luke. I should have known someone would try to get me to write their essay. I do actually still have a heap of old essays from back at Tabor. I'm prepared to sell them at a price.
I am working on a port about globalisation. I've been too busy at work to be able to do non-work related stuff though. Hopefully I'll post soon..
