Common Debates
You may write on one of these common debates, but the focus should be on finding a unique point of view that is explained in terms of where it fits among other arguments on the same topic. A few examples of common debates are: gun control, Roe vs. Wade or climate change. Make sure to include counterarguments as well but then revert back to your original point that supports your original point and why it wins.
Select a problem and analyze its causes and effects. Make sure that you consider:
The immediate and hidden causes of that problem
The logical sequence of your argument, your own credibility (establish your credibility)
Details that affect that cause
Sources that will support your argument
A bibliography in MLA format (a work cited page)
Any objections or arguments against your points
Be sure to consider the needs of your audience.
As noted in M10, historical events are often the subject of causal arguments. In addition to the list of topics available, you may select a historical topic for the causal essay. It is worth noting that you will be continuing with your topic to work on the next critical essay, the proposal essay, as well. Therefore, it is advised that you pick a subject that you can create a causal essay for and then go on to write a proposal argument about. In some cases, you can request the option to work on two difference subjects for each assignment. Contact me by email to discuss if you wish to choose this option. This assignment meets the course learning objective to be able to describe, analyze and write contemporary arguments.
The essay should be 5-7 pages in length.
I have chosen for my essay to be relating towards health and how obesity is a leading problem for society in
America, if you would be able to write about that.
