Here are a few ideas to point you in the right direction for this second paper: (By the way, if you have some ideas yourself, please add them to the list by hitting reply)
- any perspective on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict not offered by Said's "States"
- Iraqi or Afghanistan wars from perpective of native inhabitants or from the perspectives of Syria and Jordan (countries which are hosting most of the refugees from the war)
- modern immigration from perspective of an illegal immigrant or perhaps a legal one
- genocides in African countries
- Wet foot/Dry foot refugee policy from perspective of, say, a Haitian
- Deforestation of rain forests in Asia by British, American, and European logging companies from the perspective of indigenous peoples
- Fall of the Soviet empire from the perspective of the poor and children (Romani children, in particular, have had a difficult time accessing food, shelter, and education)
- Any seemingly negative consequence of the fall of the Soviet empire (we tend to hear about only the positives associated with this fall)
- The Georgian/South Ossetian/Soviet conflict--the US is supportive of Georgia in this conflict, but evidence suggests that South Ossetians actually want to reunite with Russia
- Sweat shops in Asia, South America and elsewhere from the perspective of a worker
- Chinese rule over Tibet from perspective of any involved party
- gang involvement, from perspective of a young member
- state of us agriculture from perspective of an American farmer
