Significant introspection and an articulate narration will be required to convey your messages through this usually long essay. Honestly think over the issue that really influenced you. Why did it influence you? Did it open a new vista for you? Or it confirmed your views, which you always held but were not getting the proof from real life? Why you thought what you thought? Was it due to your upbringing or you picked up this value in your college without being conscious about it. Even if you adopted some views consciously under a leader's influence and now, you find those irrational, you may still write about the same. It will reflect your honesty.
