Problem

Writing About a Controversial SubjectIn the discussion forums for this course, you've had the opportunity to read and respond to a variety of controversial topics: immigration, stereotyping, and civil disobedience. In this assignment, you will write an argumentative paper based on any of these topics.

Take your own premise--whatever premise you offered in our discussions throughout the course--and expand on that idea throughout this piece of writing. Or, you may develop a new premise, tying all topics together, and using the articles as supporting evidence.

Note: If you used a previous response to inform your Researched Argument Paper, you cannot use the same topic again.Your essay should contain the following:

A clear thesis and introductiontwo or more points supporting your positionat least one point of contentiona refutation of each opposing viewpointand a conclusion.

You can review the articles from the discussion forums, but no external sources/research should be included.

This essay will be evaluated on the strength and completeness of your argument, not on formatting or your grammar/usage skills (provided they do not affect the clarity of your thoughts).
