I'm looking for any websites that have various topics that we can use for the writing section. I know that this might seem pointless but I am absolutely clueless when it comes to examples of economics/international politics/leadership.....any ideas?

I dont know if you are aware of this, but the AAMC has some sample writing topics at the link below

Yeah, I believe the AAMC has a list of all the topics, although I imagine it would be a royal waste of your time to attempt all of them.

The link does take you to AAMC sample prompts, but it is not a "list of all the topics," so to speak. Do not understand the list to be something that a future question will be cut and pasted from. They are merely "official examples." But, some actual MCAT questions were very, very, very, very similar, especially on the April and August 2004 exams. Good source for practice, as I agree that it is very hard to find another set of examples that emulates the wackiness of the AAMC prompts. Plus, with 75 prompts, who would ever make the "royal waste of time" to go through all of them? Seems like it would be better to do just a few, get the format and technique down, and read the rest, because a similar one just might pop up (that's what I did, and it happened). I think I read somewhere that AAMC was going to take these down and put some new ones up soon.

My own example for your practice pleasure:
The Cold War was neither Cold nor a War. Discuss.
