When in school an assignment is given to write an essay for academic writing, the topics are either many to choose from or a topic is pre-allotted to a particular student irrespective of his choice or whether he is comfortable with the topic or not. If you ask my opinion it is usually better if a topic is pre-allotted because it relieves you of the problem of coming up with your own topic. If writing interests you and penning down your thoughts in words on the paper does not overwhelm you then you will not hesitate to choose a topic that interests you and on which you are sure you can freely right.
But if you are a person who is not a natural with words and someone who is not able to write what he feels or thinks, it can be an altogether different story.
Choosing a topic for an essay is not an easy job. Apart from being interesting enough for you to write about it, you should also have the knowledge about it to make it interesting for your readers. Also it not need be a serious topic or even a philosophical one where you just go on blabbering without making sense. You can also take the help of essay writers online to get ideas about the topics that you can write upon. The website is also very helpful and informative about ideas on topics for essays.
But if you want to write an essay of your choice and want to decide for yourself, following are some topics in the form of pointers and prompts. The pointers suggested can be used just the way they are or they can be manipulated according to the tone of the essay that you are supposed to write.
