Which of these most accurately explains confucianism's importance in china through the late 1800s? a) confucianism was the official religion of china. b) confucianism faded from importance following the death of its founder. c) confucianism was brought into china only after the invasion of the manchus. d) confucianism was the basis of political, economic, and social relationships

I think "D. Confucianism was the basis of political, economic, and social relationships" 

Not sure if it’s within 12 months, but you could talk about the spreading of alt-right hate speech and whether that is covered by the right of freedom of speech? or, cover how during the midterm elections in some states many native american populations were declined to vote because they didn’t have the proper id, despite being citizens? also, the death of that journalist last month, who spoke freely and reported about the saudi government and how corrupted it is and was killed because of that (lack of free press/speech). just some ideas for this prompt, i hope at least one of them : )
