Write an argumentative essay based on evidence that is supported in the textbook, scholarly articles or books.
Even though the position you choose will undoubtedly be influenced by your opinion, there is no place for it (your opinion) in an academic essay.
This is not about what you think; it is about critically reading the material, choosing a side and defending it with sound evidence from the course text, lectures, and other scholarly articles and books. Provide facts, not your opinions or beliefs.
