Title: Making a Position Statement
One of the first steps in writing a long research paper is taking a
stand on an issue or problem. Of course, it is true that in a purely
informative paper, you will want to present both sides of an issue
equally. In a persuasive paper, however, like this position paper for
Project Part 1, you need to choose one side of an issue or problem
and persuade the reader that your position is the best one.
In Project Part 1, you will articulate a position on the problem that
you have been exploring since Module 2 or another topic off the
list provided below:
Health, Food, and Global issues
o
Are there risks with genetically engineered foods?
o
Is there a connection between poverty and obesity?
o
Is it socially responsible to market unhealthy food to
children?
o
Obesity—genetic, environmental, emotional, or totally
avoidable?
