Your instructor expects a balanced and responsible exploration and discussion of your topic. Of course, you will have to take a stand on one side or the other and then provide direct support for your position. Here is a list of examples of argumentative positions (these are just examples, not topics you have to use) that are appropriate for an argumentation essay: • The Federal Government should/should not allow oil companies to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge • In order to make our schools more competitive with schools in other countries, local school districts need to hire more teachers and reduce class sizes • Music companies should allow consumers to exchange music files over the internet without fees or legal penalties • State or local governments should put more strict controls on the marketing and availability of credit cards to America’s teenagers Research Requirements For this essay, you must use and correctly cite four different sources, three of which must be database articles (EBSCOhost Web, Opposing Viewpoints, etc.). The paper and the research must be formatted and documented in APA style. Other lessons this and previous weeks discuss how to document the research in APA style. For this assignment you can use any combination of quotes or paraphrases; however, do NOT have any quotations longer than 40 words.
