An author has written that “Learning to live with ambiguity is learning to live with how life really is” (ambiguity includes a lack of clarity, or an openness to more than one interpretation). Write an essay that tries to explain what this statement might mean. It could mean many things in many different contexts, and you do not need to take up a strong agree/disagree position in your essay. Can you think of current or historical examples where ambiguity plays a role in our social or political lives? Why would someone make a claim like this? Use only your own mind to examine the issue. Do not do any research to find out what others have said on this topic, though you may engage with ideas from other authors or creators that you already know if it helps you to develop your own thinking. The strongest papers will show evidence of creative thinking, and express ideas in clear, structured, and interesting ways.
