Directions: Choose one of the following topics and/or form your own topic (must be able to debate it) to create a well-developed argumentative essay supporting your point.
• After watching the movie, The Upside with Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston, one could argue that opportunities can be life changing. You can either argue does money really create happiness. Is being rich/successful really the ultimate goal in life to achieve happiness? You could also create another argument, can an opportunity, rather than experience or knowledge, be more beneficial in growth/success.
• For decades, the educational system relies on standardized assessments for student placement, achievement, etc. Are tests like SAT, ACT, FCAT, FSA effective/reliable?
• Visit the website deathpenalty.org, and research some criminal cases that resulted in the death penalty. Write an essay using these accounts to support your arguments either for or against the death penalty. Be sure to document your sources and to include a works cited page.
• Over the years, technology has expanded and enhanced the lives for many individuals in hopes of bringing us together with means of providing better communication. However, does technology really bring us together or does it make us more alone?
• Usually, kids are starting school around three-four years old, and in the United States, students are provided a free education grades Pre-K to 12th grade through taxes. Nowadays, parents have many types of schools to place their child in to receive an education. However, usually the better education one receives comes at a costly premium that many may not be able to afford. This brings up the concern: should an effective/good education be provided for free for everyone in college?
The essay must consist of a minimum of five well-developed paragraphs and no less than two typed pages. Since you are arguing/debating a point, you must use facts, as well as opinions, to support your topic. As a reminder, you do not want to present a biased argument. Therefore, at least two body paragraphs must support your thesis, and then you must have a minimum of one body paragraph negating your thesis. The facts and support for your argument must be cited in MLA format, and the paper must contain a work’s cited page indicating the sources used (must have a minimum of two sources). The thesis statement must be stated and the paper must be written in third person point-of- view.
