Percent of Final Grade: 35%
Assignment: Incorporating many of the sources either documented in your annotated bibliography or found since then (**you must use a minimum of 5 scholarly/popular sources appropriate for your focus) you will present concrete evidence to answer your research question and support your thesis while also considering and challenging at least one differing perspective along the way. Effective use of evidence involves: 1. citing and introducing all sources appropriately, 2. supporting an argument rather than saturating the essay, i.e. ensuring all evidence is relevant to the argument, 3. using a variety of evidence such as facts, statistics, expert testimony, anecdotes, examples, and analogies.
Your thesis should appear in the paper’s introduction and give readers sufficient context information to place this main claim in its proper context. You should then develop your argument through paragraphs coherently edited and linked (use transitions!). You should also discuss alternate perspectives and address them, which will require you to incorporate different points of view. Finally, in your conclusion, you will need to make some kind of a proposal to your readers—suggest a way that the issue you have been researching can be remedied or improved for the wider world.
The bulk of this essay should emphasize the logic of your argument and how it is the smartest, most humane view in relation to the other perspectives you’ve examined. Think of the research you’ve done as concrete support that will make your argument engaging to your reader. Try to avoid using research as filler for your paper; rather, make sure that each piece of evidence is directly relevant to your argument.
Essay Requirements:

-Accurately outline and convincingly refute the counterarguments to the thesis;
