Assignment 1.2: Conflicting Viewpoints Essay – Part II
Presenting and Evaluating Arguments
Due Week 4 and worth 100 points

The assignment is divided into three (3) parts.

For Part I of the assignment (due Week 2), you read a book excerpt about critical thinking processes, reviewed the Procon.org Website in order to gather information, and engaged in prewriting to examine your thoughts.
* Remember that in the Week 2 Discussion, you examined the biases discussed in Chapter 2 of the Webtext.

In Part II of the assignment (due Week 4), you will identify, present and evaluate two arguments, one supporting your own view, and one supporting the view that you don’t agree with.

In Part III, Synthesizing and Writing, you’ll write a research paper in which you’ll put all the work together.

Part II – Arguments

  1. Briefly introduce your topic (it should be the same topic you worked on in week 2). Identify your own position in the debate, and the position that you don’t agree with.
  2. In the first paragraph, explain what a logical argument is. Refer to reliable sources. Be detailed in your explanations.
  3. Based on the research you’ve done in week 2, and also additional research when needed, choose the strongest argument in support of your view.

Present the argument’s conclusion, and carefully list all of the premises. The conclusion, and each premise, should be formulated as a simple and complete declarative sentence.

Carefully explain what exactly the conclusion and the premises try to say. How can each of the premises be supported with strong evidence? Refer to reliable sources, to actual studies done on the issue, etc.

Evaluate the argument: are the premises well supported? Do they need additional support? Do they properly support the conclusion?
