Discuss The purpose of the Persuasive Essay assignment is to choose a topic that has some debatable issue. You will then take a position on that issue and write a 2 full-page Persuasive Essay trying to influence you to accept or agree with your position on this issue.
The following topics are considered Off Limits for this paper. Not because I approve or disapprove, but because they have been discussed at great length in the media and, in many cases, without any new or interesting arguments being made. Pick a topic that is fresh and interestingone that hasnt been debated for years without much hope of resolution in the near future. If you submit one of these topics listed below for the Research Proposal, I will send you back to the drawing board for a new topic.
o abortion
o gun control
o legalized marijuana/drugs
o euthanasia/mercy killing
o death penalty/capital punishment
o stem cell research
o global warming/climate change
o smoking/tobacco issues/vaping
o Vaccinations
o COVID-19/coronavirus/Vaccinations of any kind – since this is such a new issue, there just hasn’t been enough time for actual academic research.
o 2020 Election/Black Lives Matter/Blue Lives Matter/Defund the Police/Unrest at the Capitol or any related topic to the current issues around the country. One reason I am limiting these topics is since it is so recent, there really will not be enough academic research to use. Additionally, these are such emotionally charged issues that may hinder objectivity and focus on the process of learning how to conduct academic research.
