Thesis statement ... (one sentence)

Quick sense of what you would write on (~1 sentence)

# data[].attributes.body
Modern day superhero films are overrated and take away from original political nature of scifi for the sake of PG-13 audiences.

I would write about the disparities between the old Batman and the comic's critique of capitalism as compared to the glamorization of industrial greed (iron man) and meaningless story lines (shazam).

# data[].attributes.body
The concept of hustle culture, the idea that one must constantly be working hard and pushing themselves to produce results, is overrated.

Sucess can be achieved without having to reach your limits and burning out. By promoting videos that capture a person sweating or waking up at 5am, I feel the narrative that you have to practically be hurting yourself to achieve a relative greatness is false and therefore making the idea overrated.

# data[].attributes.body
Reading books that are considered "classics" in lower education English classes is overrated as the majority of them lack current world application and are unnecessarily lengthy.

I would write about my personal experiences from observing myself and my classmates. I also would speak on the differences between what appeases English majors and what appeases general high school students.

# data[].attributes.body
In an ever-growing social media culture, the impact and messages of social media influencers are overrated due to their artificial presentations.

For this essay, I would discuss the often artificial displays of success that social media influencers portray and their hidden motives of simply gaining money from their followers.

# data[].attributes.body
Paying an outrageous sum of money for private education and using that as a backdoor to bypass common admissions hurdles is overrated.

The richest of the rich New York City parents send their children to Horace Mann (use evidence from Kozol - Rye students and Author who mentioned parents suing Horace Mann for not letting their child start kindergarten early). They maintain alumni relations with colleges and pour in exorbitant sums of money in hopes that their child will get a free pass into college (Stanford Article evidence - student did not get in despite parents paying for buildings and renovation).

# data[].attributes.body
Resolutions and goals are overrated, as people tend to set unrealistic expectations for what they can achieve in a short time, ultimately failing to accomplish their goals.

I would write about personal experience and how I aim to do certain things every year and always end up doing 1 out of the 50 things I write down. Additionally, I would talk about the social media trend of glowing up and how influencers talk about glowing up and losing weight in one year, but they have already been working on this, because it is their job.

Ilhaam Attaar: Designer/ branded clothing 

# data[].attributes.body
Designer/branded clothing is overrated as it is easily duplicable nowadays with no noticeable difference.

I would talk about how there are clothing brands like Shein that make a duplicate of every popular branded style and you cannot tell the difference, except on person paid more money than the other.

# data[].attributes.body
Avengers Endgame is one of the most overrated films in the superhero genre as it exploits popular characters to appear more interesting than it is.

I would write about how other superhero movies have to have good plot, characters, etc. while Endgame (although having an interesting plotline) had a boost in rating from the fact that it brought every character from the MCU into a single scene.

# data[].attributes.body
In the world of sports, the term 'overrated' has become an overrated, toxic product of fan culture. It is used more to fuel rivalry and bias than to assess true performance, ultimately diminishing the accomplishments of athletes, teams, and staff.

Evidence:

On record, LeBron is the most dominant player of all time, but people are quick to call him overrated over personal loyalties compared to factual, analytical data–something that is a significant pitfall of any argument that deals with the "rated-ness" of a certain topic.

# data[].attributes.body
Homework is overrated and often leads to more stress and problems rather than the intended purpose of helping someone learn better.

I would write about how students already spend so much time in school and piling more work on for them at home can lead to burnout and make them more tired instead of helping them get better.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that is overrated is college admissions and the amount of money and time students need to put into the process just to possibly have a chance of getting into a program.

I would write about the insane expectations some colleges have and the amount of money that goes into the process while mentioning how it seems like colleges are just trying to make money off of potential students while not feeling like a place of learning and opportunity.

# data[].attributes.body
Designer companies are overrated. Owning designer products for the sake of the name or quality doesn't make up for extremely high costs.

I would write about how owning these products gives you nothing but bragging benefits. Even if some of these products are high quality, it doesnt necessarily mean the price should be so high.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that being an influencer/popular in society is somewhat overrated due to the potential lack of privacy and independence that it comes with.

With this thesis I would try to bring in specific people to show how being popular has specifically affected them in a negative way

# data[].attributes.body
The idea of multitasking is vastly overrated, as it reduces overall productivity, increases stress, and reduces the quality of work being produced.

I would write about the pressure of 8 different classes and maybe doing one's assignment in another, losing the value of the second class.

# data[].attributes.body
Luxurious clothing brands are overrated as not everyone can afford/enjoy them and people should not have to feel the need to own expensive items from those brands just because the general public idolizes them.

I would write about specific brands like Gucci, Prada, Chanel and how some groups of people make others feel as if they need to purchase and own items from them to "fit in".

# data[].attributes.body
Water is essential to survival, and should not be capitalized on; designer water brands like Fiji, Voss and Evian that sell water in shiny bottles for upto $50 are overrated.

Access to clean drinking water is a basic human right, and putting a price on a necessity is extremely out of touch. While someone takes a sip of so called "artesian" water, there are entire communities of people who still do not have access to clean water, even in developed nations like the United States. The water crisis in Flint, MIchigan for example, highlights the nations systematic failures in ensuring basic human rights. Additionally, I would write about how blind taste tests have shown people cannot tell the difference between brands like Voss and tap water. What really is the point of designer water?

# data[].attributes.body
Although college is often seen as essential for success, it is overrated because many valuable skills and careers do not require a college degree.

I would use successful people without college degrees to highlight my point. I would also use jobs that don't require college degrees like electricans,plumbers,mechanics that are nessecary for society regardless of having a college degree.

# data[].attributes.body
The concept of "the American Dream" is overrated because it encourages the illusion that success is solely based on hard work, ignoring the effects of inequality.

I would write about how economic uncertainty, social barriers, and overall "privilege" make the American Dream an unrealistic goal for many people.

# data[].attributes.body
The current Marvel Cinematic Universe is overrated as they have diverted their focus from producing high-quality films to exploiting their fans for money through shallow shows/movies.

I would talk about how the past MCU had a thorough storyline that lived through all movies, with a main set of characters as opposed to how there are newer characters that are being added to show 'new' superpowers.

# data[].attributes.body
Caring what others think is overrated. Why do we constantly live our lives wondering what others around us think of us, because it's not their life, it's ours. At the end of the day, everyone has their own different thoughts and experiences, and no one should let people define what they do or who they are.

I would write about sonder and how our lives would be less stressful if people were not so worried about other people's feelings of them all the time.

# data[].attributes.body
Political party leaders are overrated as they allow the mass population people to idolize one specific person and hold them accountable for the actions and result of the effort of an entire government.

I would write about how political party leaders, in many countries not just America, are often in a position where the entire nation is holding them accountable for something that occurred because of the entire government. Whether they are successes or failures, one person is placed on a pedestal of responsibility which isn't fair to them. For example, Hoover being blamed for Great Depression.

# data[].attributes.body
Social media is an overrated force, sometimes presented to show superficial issues and opportunities, yet in reality, it is distorted and misleading at times.

I would write about how sometimes there are perceptions being displayed on social media that may be far from reality, guiding someone in the wrong direction, such as reviews.

# data[].attributes.body
The concept of social media trends, which can coerce susceptible teens into doing activities or buying items that don't fit with who they are, is overrated.

I would give examples of different trends that have pushed students out of their comfort zone or that have led to kids getting in trouble, along with possible interviews or articles from the teens themselves or research on the subject to get more accurate evidence.

# data[].attributes.body
Famous landmarks, in major cities are overrated, and it takes away the significance of other historical landmarks.

I would write about the fact on how many people would only go to visit certain landmarks, while other minor landmarks in the same city aren't as known despite having a lot of significance.

# data[].attributes.body
The concept of trends, either it being a piece of clothing, shoe brand or a food, is overrated. As it favors the over consumerism of products by making people buy a trending product that won't be trending anymore after some time.

I would try to write about how trends are so integrated into today's society, it's understandable that it's because it's trending on social media. Some designers of these pieces make these pieces due to their creativity to create such unique pieces, but it will some to trend only for while. Once the hype dies down, another pice of clothing or a shoe brand will start trending. It could also be food, such a Dubai Chocolate, due to it's trending status, these products also increase in price.
