I have no idea what to write about....

In this Issues Paper the possibilities are endless.  My problem is thinking of one.  Especially one that can somehow turn into 8 to 10 pages!
I could possibly write about....
...how globalization is ruining historical and sacred monuments and sites.  For example: a Starbucks has recently been built in the Forbidden City in Beijing. Picture below:
 
...how the globalization of instant gratification (through communication, entertainment, food, money, media, etc) is destroying the world and ethics of humanity.
These are just a few ideas, what do you all think?
