First One-Page Position Paper Topic

For those who were having trouble reading it via the calendar.

The Mahabarata, a religious text of the Hindu faith states:

"Truth, self control, asceticism, generosity, non-injury, constancy in virtue — these are the means of success, not caste or family."

Are these the components of success? Are there more than are on this list? Less? Are caste (social standing and upbringing) and family true measures of success or is it more what the individual does, and, if so, what does the individual need to have success?

In an essay of one page, pick a POSITION in this argument and SUPPORT it using relevant and specific information. Feel free to use your studies in literature and history, but also feel free for this essay to use personal experience. Just be sure that your personal experience is as specific as evidence from literature and that it truly supports your ideas.

As you conclude your essay, please COME TO A CONCLUSION about your own senior year and how you plan to make it a success. Of the components and reasons you have chosen, which will you utilize and how?
