Propose a solution to a problem that has an impact on a number of people beyond

Propose a solution to a problem that has an impact on a number of people beyond yourself. Depending on the nature of the problem, your audience may need to be convinced that the problem even exists; before you can propose a solution, you need to build a case for the problem. You will need to support your reasons with evidence that is both sufficient (enough evidence to prove that the problem isn’t trivial – statistics are useful here) and convincing (case studies and personal examples put a human face on the problem and create a compelling sense of pathos.)
The solution to your problem is the thesis of your paper. Obviously, the solution must show that it actually solves the problem, but it must also be feasible – poverty could be ended by giving everyone a million dollars, but is that even possible? If the solution is clear, specific and easy, the audience is much more likely to comply. You should also anticipate any counterarguments against your proposal: arguments that the problem doesn’t exist/is trivial, and arguments that another solution is preferable.
As you write, think about the nature of your audience – are they likely to accept your message, resist it, or both? Consider the information presented below about argumentation and scientific reasons why it is so hard to convince someone who is truly resistant to an argument. In order to be persuasive, we have to think carefully about what the audience likely to know, feel, or believe about the topic. How can you address their concerns – their hopes, fears and values? How can you establish common ground? What arguments are likely to convince them?
I do not intend for you to do a lot of research for this paper: I would prefer that you deal with solving a problem at work, school or home where your own experience is a factor and the information for the solution is close at hand. If you must do research, do NOT use a citation style such as MLA or APA format. Instead, use an informal citation style, mentioning the title, author, and possibly the date in the text of your essay. (“According to his 2018 article, “Penguins and You,” printed in Bogus magazine, John Q Smith said…”) If you consider most of the articles encountered through news sources, they use this citation format as the general readership finds formal citation styles boring and confusing.
