Help with 2 Prompts: Significant problem in contemporary culture that goes against traditional norms

Please help me. I have been stuck on this prompt for two days and my brain just goes dead thinking about it. I have two prompts and need help with both, but the first one especially.

Essay #1: Identify and discuss one significant problem or issue in contemporary culture that challenges traditional norms: why this problem/issue matters, some of the varied perspectives on it, and what possible solutions you or others might propose to address it.

Essay #2: The arts, since the Renaissance, have been interdisciplinary in nature and we see this trend present in contemporary art today. How do you bring an interdisciplinary approach to your creative process? What different disciplines or areas of study enter your creative process and why is this approach important to you as a creative member of a global community?

I had a panic attack and have been staring at these prompts with no ideas since yesterday, i am brain dead. these are due by Oct 16th and must be no longer than 500 words. On Essay #1, I need help finding a good topic to write about, and how I should organize the Essay. On Essay #2, I was going to talk about how Playing music involves culture, history, and society but I also ran out of ideas. I dont know why but i am having a huge writers block. These essays are for Governor’s School and Essay #2 has to do with the arts since I am applying in instrumental music. Thank you very much please help me i am dying
