    Professor said my essay topic is 'too broad'... but I don't know how to fix it 😭 Help?

    I'm taking this intro to political science class, and we have to write a 6-page essay on any topic related to American government. I was kinda excited because I actually follow politics, so I chose to write about "The Impact of Social Media on Elections." I thought it was perfect, right...
