Argumentative Synthesis Paper

General points

In this assignment, you're going to have to develop a solid argumentative thesis based on an ethical question (i.e. Should we allow Syrian refugees into the U.S.? Should we reduce the U.S. prison population? Should we make efforts to raise boys and girls so that neither feels limited by gender expectations?), and support this thesis with sound claims and documented evidence. You need to use at least 5-8 sources (at least one should be from a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal or book), but of course you can use more than this if you'd like.It is absolutely essential that you take the time to think about a good, workable thesis for this paper. In order to test whether or not your thesis is acceptable, ask yourself these questions about it:

  1. Is it arguable?
  2. Is it specific?
  3. Is it manageable in the length and time you have?
  4. Is it directed to a specific, intended audience? (this may be implied)

If you answered 'no' to any of these questions, then you need to think about how to revise your thesis. In extreme cases, you might have to change topics, but please remember that small adjustments can sometimes make really big differences. In other words, don't give up on an idea too soon.

Good luck!
