Remember the word “argument” does not mean a fight in a writing context. An acad

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.
