Pick three topics for your Concept essay , and fastwrite about them for at least ten minutes each. When you fastwrite, yes, actually set yourself a timer, and don't let yourself stop before it goes off (but do keep going if you've found a good writing groove!). If you can't write about it for 10 minutes, you probably can't write an entire essay on it. Don't worry about sentence structure or spelling errors, or anything else superficial at this point; just focus on capturing your ideas on paper or the computer screen. I will check them off on Wed., and you will turn them in with your final draft. If you can't write about it for 10 minutes, you probably can't write an entire essay on it. EXAMPLE: 1. Nature vs Nuture. Nature, an unforgiving phenomena of the physical world, that usually includes plants, animals, and landscapes, and other features or products of Earth. Nuture, to care for and encourage the growth and development of. People are raised and nurtured from birth, and from that usually grow up with the logic they learned as a kid. Animals, some are raised until adulthood and others given natural animal instinct by mother nature to fend for themeselves and survive. Two totally different concepts that could explain human behavior in the world today. Even if people are raised and nurtured to hopefully one day possess certain qualities, it is possible that by some natural instinct, we prefer a lifestlye that society cannot teach. For example, ask yourself what type of landscape would you prefer; the beach, the desert, or the forest? If you grew up in a forest, you might choose a forest because that is what you are most comfortable with, you were nurtured there. 2. What is love/happiness? two words whose definitions people tend to think have the same meaning but in reality have some differences. For some it can be said that you can be happy without love, but can you love without being happy? In a dictionary definition, Love is having an intense feeling of deep affection. Happiness is the state of being happy, in other words feeling or showing pleasure or contentment. People all over the world can have many different opinions of these two words. Some will say they are the same because in a sense, it is what people strive for in life. Is it not the common childhood dream to grow up, have a career, find your true love, and then ultimately live out your life and be happy? 3. Music. Vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. There are many different types and genres of music. There are different sounds made electronically, by instruments, or even man-made. All of these factors are important to music, for it all makes different impacts to those who listen to it. Different genres can include Hip Hop, Country, Rock, Soul/R&B, Pop, Raggae, Jazz, Classical, and so much more. Even with every distinct genre there is some kind of sub-genre to choose from.

Even with every distinct genre there is some kind of sub-genre
to choose from. Music truly is an important concept in todays
world. As humans, sound is one of the most important of the 5
senses. We use sound to identify things that make noise, to
respond to command, and interact/conversate with others.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE:
1 Politics:
Politics was once a great thing in our nation. Helping those with
education, housing, and making sure jobs were available. Not
only that but medical advances on helping those who needed it.
Now look at it, just a word that people use to show they have
power. It's almost as if they are fooling the people into believe
they no longer run the country but the politians do. What sense
does that make. You can never see what new petition or law or
rule theyre going to come out with next. Once these laws helped
us as a society believe in one other despite our differences. But
now look at us. They allow people to burn, step on, and
desicrate our flag. They also are going into the court system
about how stolen valor is protected by the first amendment.
Preposturous. These are now the polotics that run our country

3. were there was a time were there was no controversy to what
desicrating the flag meant by consquence.
2 Military:
No know here knows more than those who have and are serving
for our government what itis truely like to be completely held
by a piece of paper that was signed years before present that
you must and will obey without question. You cannot leave
until you are given permission or your time is served. In all
though it gives you a set of skill that you would not have had
otherwise. It gives you discipling that you rarely see in poeple
in their teens to late twenties. not only that but It also gives you
the ability to not worry about attending schools in which you
couldn't afford before. The physical demand, the mental
stability, the emotional steadiness that you endure is something
you keep with you. Also in my experience I found those I call
family.
3 loyalty:
What is loyalty now? It's something which was once a valued
trait. Now it's hardly found. People are so focused on becoming
the next big thing or they use others for their own personal
gain. It sucks that you look at a dog and that dog will stay with
you forever. People on the otherhand well they turn their back
on you because you said something that "offended them" when
back in the time of need you were there for them. Funny how
now loyalty has become a concept in which people have to
question actions and words instead of trusting through
experience.
