A good argumentative essay topic is debatable: reasonable people can disagree, and both sides can be supported with evidence. Avoid topics that are settled fact or purely a matter of taste.
Education
- Should schools limit smartphone use during class?
- Is homework still an effective learning tool?
- Should financial literacy be a required subject?
Technology
- Do social media platforms have a duty to moderate content?
- Should students be allowed to use AI tools for research?
- Is remote work better for productivity?
Society and health
- Should sugary drinks be taxed?
- Is a four-day school week better for students?
- Should voting be compulsory?
