I chose to write an argumentative paper on whether Michael Jackson was a good parent or not.

Before Michael Jackson has passed away, the hugest scandal that was troubling him was the sexual abuse.The world has had prejudice towards him, but some of his closest ones have other sayings on this topic.

When I was young and living in China, the little I have heard about Michael Jackson was the sexual abuse scandal from my mom. Growing up in the States, news and articles have informed me people have wronged him and his children have loved their father from the depth of their heart. However, after reading the textbook for this course, I have realized how serious this problem is and could not help but feel grievance and anger for him. That's why I decided to dig deeper on this topic.
