Blog Archive Monday Morning Essay Tip Tread Lightly with Hot Global Political Issues Although many MBA programs are interested in hearing about your international experiences, they are fundamentally  uninterested in your personal views on “hot” global political issues. Even when an admissions committee directly challenges you to discuss current events or global politics, you must take care to offer a point of viewâ€"not  a scathing manifesto. No clear rules exist as to what you should discuss, but as you consider ideas, “knowing your audience” is of the utmost importance. Never take risks by discussing an economic, political, social or cultural idea that you believe an “average person” might find extreme. Of course, “extreme” is open to interpretation, and this is why choosing the issue you will discuss requires so much careful consideration. As a general guideline, when you begin writing, keep in mind that you are not trying to win voters or recruit people to your cause, but are trying to show that you are engaged in the issues, can consider  them in a balanced way and are able to articulate your ideas persuasively.
