CONCLUSION

Question 28

------aims to convince the audience that the opinion is valid and worth listening to by presenting credible evidence and addressing the existing counterclaims. Before composing a position paper, one should first know if the topic is relevant and that both its negative and positive sides are plausible. These are some of the guide questions crafted by Martin (2017) in choosing for an issue or a topic:  Is it a real issue, with genuine controversy and uncertainty?  Can you distinctly identify two positions?  Are you personally interested in advocating one of these positions?  Is the issue narrow enough to be manageable?  After choosing the topic, do some research on both sides of the argument, even if you already have an opinion or position on your topic. Looking at both the pros and cons will help create a list of supporting evidence and establish stronger counterclaims. The supporting evidence should include all or a combination of factual knowledge, statistical inferences, informed opinion, and personal testimony.  Next, consider the audience by asking the following questions:  Who is your audience?  What do they believe?  Where do they stand on the issue?  How are their interests involved?  What evidence is likely to be effective with them?

5 Steps to Writing a Position Pape

Answer 29

Select a Topic for Your Paper Conduct Preliminary Researc Challenge Your Own Topic Continue to Collect Supporting Evidence Create an Outline

Question 30

In a ---------- assignment, your charge is to choose a side on a particular topic, sometimes controversial, and build up a case for your opinion or position. You will use facts, opinions, statistics, and other forms of evidence to convince your reader that your position is the best one. To do this, you'll collect research for your position paper and craft an outline to create a well-constructed argument.

Answer 30

position paper

Question 31

Your position paper** *centers around a topic that is supported by research*.** Your topic and position have to hold up when challenged, so it's helpful to research a few topics and pick the one you can best argue, even if it may not reflect your personal beliefs. In many cases, the subject matter and your topic are not as important as your ability to make a strong case. Your topic can be simple or complex, but your argument must be sound and logical

Answer 31

1. Select a Topic for Your Pape

Question 32

------is necessary to **determine whether sufficient evidence is available to back up your stance. You don’t want to get too attached to a topic that fall**s apart under a challenge. Search a few reputable sites, like education (.edu) sites and government (.gov) sites, to find professional studies and statistics. If you come up with nothing after an hour of searching or find that your position doesn’t stand up to the findings on reputable sites, choose another topic. This could save you from a lot of frustration later.

Answer 32

2. Conduct Preliminary Research

Question 33

You must know the opposite view and know your own stance when you take a position. Take the time to determine all the possible challenges that you might face as you support your view. Your position paper must address the opposing view and chip away at it with counter-evidence. Consider having friends, colleagues, or family debate the topic with you to get alternative points of view that you might not have readily considered yourself. When you find arguments for the other side of your position, you can fairly address them and state why they are not sound. Another helpful exercise is to draw a line down the middle of a plain sheet of paper and list your points on one side, and list opposing points on the other side. Which argument is better? If it looks like your opposition might outnumber you with valid points, you should reconsider your topic or your stance on the topic.

Answer 33

3. Challenge Your Own Topic

Question 34

Once you’ve determined that your position is supportable and the opposite position is (in your opinion) weaker than your own, you are ready to branch out with your research. Go to a library, conduct a search, or ask the reference librarian to help you find more sources. You can, of course, conduct online research, but it's important to know how to properly vet the validity of the sources you use. Ensure that your articles are written by ASSH2005 05 Supplemental Reading *Property of STI  student.feedback@sti.edu Page 2 of 2 reputable sources, and be wary of singular sources that differ from the norm, as these are often subjective rather than factual. Try to collect various sources and include both an expert’s opinion (doctor, lawyer, or professor, for example) and personal experience (from a friend or family member) that can add an emotional appeal to your topic. These statements should support your own position but should read differently than your own words. The point of these is to add depth to your argument or provide anecdotal support.
