In your paper, you must address the various “sides” of your chosen issue and draw conclusions based on your analysis of the issue. Note that this is not a persuasive paper: your primary focus is not to advocate for a particular side of an issue. Your paper should discuss two or more viewpoints, pros and cons, etc. This demonstrates an understanding of the complexities of your chosen topic.
In your paper, you must present an informed evaluation of the evidence and the different viewpoints surrounding the topic. Compare and contrast the different viewpoints of the sources cited. Analyze and question your sources’ assumptions. College is about learning how to question assumptions, and sometimes, your sources may have limitations of faulty logic.
