Where can I find the motivation to do my political theory essay?

I don't know how they expect me to fit in so much about political theory in only 3,000 words. It's such a broad field and I wouldn't want any aspect to not be represented. Do you think I'm trying to do too much?

Was there no specific title to the essay? Just "write 3000 words on political theory?"
@Aibhneacha the title is '"merely the ideas of dead white elite males" Assess this judgement on the history of political thought' so it's basically a two sides argument on the history of global political thought. I've planned it but it just feels like a drag

@WittyKittyfeelinShitty focus your thesis on how the left and right in america leverage identity politics?
@tenente I have the argument. It's just that because its global, I wouldn't feel like I truly explored the issue unless I gave evidence from every region and I've never studied political theory so it's all my own reading so I'm not sure if it's what I should be writing on. It's just all over the place but it's okay. I'll get it done when the "deadline soon" panic kicks in

@WittyKittyfeelinShitty sorry for being all over the thread. I understand this, but your role isn't to "truly explore" global politics.

Think of the field you're in like a party. There are tons of conversations at the party. Your role in this essay is just to join this one conversation about this one essay.
@SW-User yeah I feel you. I do have a specific argument but it's pretty broad and I tried to incorporate evidence from everywhere which is kind of too much. But I got this. Don't be sorry lol, thank you so much for the help! :)

I have a video I made about this if you want me to pm the link?

Being too broad at first is a really common problem, we can also talk about your argument if you need help.
@SW-User nah I'm usually fine with this stuff. It's just it's my fist time with political theory so I panicked. You make videos about this stuff? That's so cool!

@WittyKittyfeelinShitty yep! I realized that lots of people need help with it so I just started making videos!
@SW-User that's so cool! Link me and I'll share them with my friends
