I think it's just about having certain feelings for local or national issues and maybe providing anecdotes as to why you feel that way.

What are you thoughts on doing a [slightly] contraversial topic for this?

my topic is {highly} controversial. I think that it's always about how you write about the topic, not necessarily what the topic is.
