Ethical Argument. There is the question of history and how it should be preserved. There is also the question of education, and what we learn by keeping or eliminating them. What purpose do they serve? How do they affect the community? How important are they? If removed, what, if anything, should take their place? There are just a few things to consider as you build your argument. If you find some of these questions compelling, address them in your essay. There are two (2) short essays that provide an effective template from which to follow and expand.
