Great examples! One of the tricks I use with my students to get them started is to finish this statement: "The trouble with the world today is...." It's a good brainstorming prompt.

Hi. I was wondering whether this is a good GI: "Children, growing up in war, struggle to find their identity". My texts are As long as lemon trees grow & Jojo Rabbit. Is this enough wordsmithing?

@IBEnglishGuys I am in DP2 and you guys helped me so much with my mock now it's time for the real one. I was wondering if this was a solid GI: How does the influence of extremist ideologies change one’s personal beliefs?
Cheers guys,
Thanks for everything.

Hello kindly assess this global issue, ’To what extent does political leaders perpetuate the cycle of poverty?

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I just had a quick question. Is it okay to start an IO with a hook, or is it better to get straight to the point?

[a.whisper]

In my two texts I discuss in 1. ignorance results in detoriation of identity and 2. ignorance results in unknowingly enabling others destructive behaviour. I can't seem to find a GI that would link these, I fear that my texts are too different... "The destructive nature of ignorance" I considered but is far too vague.

Thank you so much for the video, it was really insightful! May I ask if “how is aesthetics used as a bait of unhealthy consumerism ” a good global issue? (in relation to arts, creativity and imagination). Once again, thank you so much!

Hi! Thank you for all the tips! I had a quick question, would something like "war can lead to the displacement of one's self identity" be good? Would it be considered expository?

Hi I am in IBDP 1 and what are your thoughts on the global issue: “ How does the power of media contribute to the marginalization of certain individuals?”

[gannaelzablawy-sis]

Hi!!
Is the following considered a strong global issue (The negative impacts of patriarchal oppression on female identity in recultivating the definition of what women are.)?
thankk you!

[areebasaleha]

hi! i want to confirm whether one of the texts in IOA has to be a work of translation? It is written in the guide, but everything has been so confusing.

What do you think of
The effect of trauma on personal identity as a global issue
Is it too broad. What would be your suggestions

Hi, sorry this is a question about HL essay, I wasn't sure where to ask.. Should we include counter arguments? For my topic, there are clear counter arguments, but it's a bit difficult to include within the word limit. Is it okay to write a sentence explaining that there isn't time to elaborate on counterarguments, or should I include it? Thanks!

Is
How does Violence shape and alter the development of personal identity in children
Too broad for a global issues oral

Hi, i'm currently in ibdp 1 and im struggling with formulating a refined global issue. I was wondering if i could get some feedback on the global issue i've written: "war often leads to the suffering of innocent civilians caused by corruption and abuse of power"
