Ideas on writing a first person paper about living ina different time period?

i have to write a paper from a first persons perspective about living in a different time period (futuristic or past). it says to include major political, social, or cultural upheaval and include two sense details and a vivid description of time and place. What would a good topic be?|||Why not write about your average day as a person from another time period? You can go through the routine from waking up in the morning until going to bed at night. It would cover many topics and give you an opportunity to explore the many different aspects of life in another time.|||Talk about something you do like going to school, taking a bath, playing a game, etc.


Now figure out if you want to be in the past or future. If future you have a lot of leeway with making up details, if the past you have to do research to see how they did it in that time period.
