Paper topic
Is it possible to be perfect? Is perfection a valid pursuit? What impact does a student’s desire to earn “A’s,” in every class he takes, have on his acquisition of knowledge and skills? What impact does social media have on most people’s desire for perfectionism? Are people so vastly unhappy because of the false perception of “perfection” and the constant drive to be perfect? Consider these ideas relative to every facet of one’s life: college/higher education, relationships (family, friends, spouse, significant other, etc.), employment, hobbies, leisure activities, etc. What is more important, being perfect or being happy?
Whatever argument you create, make sure that it deals with a specific facet of your life (see short list above).
