For guidance on the use of generative AI technology, review Ethical Standards and Appropriate Use of AI.
CopyLeaks Originality Checker: All writing will be checked for originality. Ensure that all references are credible and include page and paragraph numbers if the source is longer than four pages. If a source cannot be accessed by a grader, you might need to provide digital proof that you possess the source (for example, a photo of the print book). Text from any third party source is prohibited, including internet or chatbot searches, without proper APA-style citations. Focus on developing your own ideas and use evidence sparingly to support your own original claims, following the classical model of argumentation.
A. Directions
Step 1. Choose a Topic
Today, there are many different debates being had all around the world about topics that affect our personal, professional, civic, and/or academic lives. Some of these debates have been such hot topics for so long that it has become very difficult to add to the conversation with new and original ideas or stances to take. To move beyond this trend, we have created a list of topics that may not be written about for this Touchstone. This includes example topics that are used in Unit 4. Feel free to access a tutor if you would like support choosing a topic for this essay.
Please AVOID choosing any of the following topics:
• Abortion Rights
• Animal Testing (Unit 4 example)
• Climate Change (Unit 4 example)
• Belief in God(s) or Afterlife(s)
• Death Penalty / Capital Punishment
• Euthanasia / Assisted Suicide
• Fad Diets (e.g., Keto, etc.)
• Funding/Defunding Law Enforcement
• Immigration
• Legal Alcohol/Tobacco Age
• Legalization of Marijuana
• Legalization of Sex Work
• Paying Student Athletes
• Second Amendment Rights (i.e., Gun Control)
• Social Media’s Impact on Mental Health
• Universal Healthcare
• Vaccines
Choosing to write about any of the above topics will result in a non-passing score.
Step 2. Write an Argumentative Essay
Remember the word “argument” does not mean a fight in a writing context. An academic argument is more like a thoughtful conversation between two people with differing viewpoints on a debatable issue. However, you are required to take a position on one side of a debatable issue that is informed by academically appropriate evidence.
For the purposes of this assignment, expressing or relying on your personal opinion of a debate is discouraged. Rather, the essay must argue one side or stance of the debate using the rhetorical appeals (logos, ethos, and pathos) and be supported by academic or scholarly sources. These include physical sources in public libraries, digital sources in academic libraries, online sources (excludes unreliable sources like procon.org and wikipedia.org, which are discouraged), and published expert reports, preferably peer-reviewed by experts in the field to maintain utmost credibility. Consider revisiting the tutorial Finding Sources for more information on appropriate sources for argumentative writing.
Your submission must include an APA style in-text citations and a reference page following the essay. In your research, you will need at least 2 and no more than 4 credible primary or secondary sources to use as support in your essay.
• All sources cited in the writing submitted must be locatable by a grader; include hyperlinks to the sources in the reference page.
• The use of any source that requires payment for access is strictly prohibited for this assignment.
• Avoid using sources that exceed 20 pages in length, as they may be overly extensive for the purposes of this assignment.
• Including more than four sources may cause delays, and you might be asked to provide additional evidence of the credibility for each source.
