Question: Have you ever tried to do a formal piece of writing about something you felt passionately about, especially something that had personal impact on you? What impact does your emotional relationship with the topic have on the effectiveness of your argument? What are the benefits of writing about something you care about? What are the potential problems?
I have written papers about subjects that I can relate to myself. The emotional relationship to the essay topic facilitates the writing of it, because it is important to the writer. It's so much easier to write about something you care about than something you have no opinion on. The words come into your head faster, and more examples come to mind, as if the paper is writing itself. An issue with that would be that the person might get carried away or too emotional about the subject, leading to nonsensical or harsh sentences.
