People get body piercings and tattoos because the like the look and want to express themselves. Though this has caused alot of stereotypes. Where I live no one will like you if you have a piercing or a tattoo (which sucks for me because I have my eyebrow, 4 on each ear, and 3 tattoos) Body Mods are for people who enjoy art and want to be a living art form.(there are other reasons too just there is no way to say them without them sound stupid though they are very good reasons) Never judge a person by their tattos or their piercings!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
