College Essay #8 - Important Issue

36) Select any issue that is of importance to you and discuss your views. (New College of University of South Florida)


Global climate change is the single greatest issue and we all are responsible for generating this. The changes are apparent: weather, melting glaciers, receding ice caps etc. Weather changes can lead to droughts or it can raise ocean levels. Animals are being affected- they can't adapt/protect themselves from the changing environment as humans can - to a limit.


Something has to be done but those in power, insist it should be done by someone else. Time has run out. It is now necessary for individuals to make change to the running world. It’s time for people to realize that Global climate change is a big issue, and that with their minor help, the world can change for the better for them and for the society.


It bothers me to stay in a place where it’s either too cold or too hot. My hometown is situated in the south of India, where the weather can get too hot however, while I am in my boarding school which is in Mussoorie, (hill station situated in north India) where the weather drops down to 0 degree Celsius. The difference in the climate change is big; this is where we humans come in control. We individuals should definitely take initiative of doing small things which can help control Global Climate change.


The age of limitless consumption and waste, is come to an end. We are entering an era of scarcity, something most people simply done understand. I believe that: Many hands make light work—same way as a community people should do the simple things, nothing is impossible. If one has their goals set high and is determined to achieve their goal, I am sure that they will strive to get to that particular point.


Lets all aim high and make a difference in this world.

  1. When writing about a very broad topic like climate, you really should try to make it specific. For example, here are two indications that Mussoorie is actually getting warmer: 1. It used to snow here quite regularly every winter, and now it snows maybe once or twice a year. 2.Mussoorie used to never have mosquitos, and now they are very common.

    Every essay needs specific examples.
