Assignment Description:
Your task in this formal, research-driven essay involves the following:
1. Providing readers with sufficient background or context concerning a social problem, one that affects a wide range of people—but, at the institutional, local, state or regional level.
2. Demonstrating your chosen social problem’s significance or relevance: an argument of value, with ample supporting evidence
3. Proposing a course of action to solve or ease the severity of the problem under discussion (argument t of policy/proposal).
4. Providing at least three supporting reasons or pieces of supporting evidence to substantiate your claim of policy.
5. Acknowledging at least one counterproposal or likely objection to your claim of policy; engaging at least one counterargument, and articulating that counterargument objectively and accurately.
6. Responding to that counterargument, challenging its critique of your claim of policy, ideally negating or disproving it (in terms of the classical format for argument, refutation)
7. Summarizing your overall discussion and striving to draw a broad or new conclusion from your discussion as a whole; offering a closing insight or reflection that connects your remarks to a larger topic, a wider conversation or a broader debate (the element of synthesis).
In essence, you’ll be…
• Highlighting or identifying a social problem—at the institutional, local, state or regional level
• Providing readers with any necessary background information concerning the problem.
• Convincing readers the problem on which you focus is sufficiently relevant or of sufficient importance to compel action
• Proposing a course of action to solve the problem, or at least ease (or ameliorate, or mitigate) its severity.
• Providing at least three supports to substantiate your claim of policy.
• Acknowledging at least one plausible counterargument.
• Responding to that counterargument, defending your argument from its criticisms.
