Argument
People argue all the timeover what movie to see, what to have for dinner, who to vote for. People generally have strong opinions, and many dont hesitate to express them. Your friend doesnt want to see the same movie you do because he doesnt like gory horror. Your partner wants to eat at a restaurant that serves healthy food. Your coworker wont vote for any candidate who doesnt support universal healthcare.
Your argument essay is an amplified version of those types of arguments you have with family, friends, and coworkers each day. The difference is that youll be conducting research and using the information you find to explain a problem and then provide a solution.
The argument essay is 1,6001,800 words and must incorporate a minimum of 4 secondary sources.
There is no graded prewriting assignment for your argument essay. However, your Journal Part 3 entries are designed to help you write your argument. If you would like feedback on your topic, reasons, or research, you may submit Journal Part 3 before you submit your argument.
Assignment Objectives
Use prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing to write formal, college-level essays
Distinguish between different patterns of development
Apply an appropriate pattern of development to a specific purpose and audience
Write effective thesis statements
Develop paragraphs using topic sentences, adequate detail, supporting evidence, and transitions
Employ responsible research methods to locate appropriate secondary sources
Quote, paraphrase, and summarize secondary source material correctly and appropriately
Use APA (American Psychological Association) citation and documentation style to reference secondary source material correctly and appropriately

Topic
Choose one of the following topics. Each topic focuses on a current problem that many students face.
The high cost of college or student loan debt
The lack of proper nutrition
Low minimum wage
You may narrow the focus of your topic as you see fit.
Purpose and Audience
The purpose of your essay is to identify, define, and analyze the problem, and then provide a solution to address it. You will use the third-person point of view.
Your audience is made up of your fellow Penn Foster classmates. Many will agree with you, while others will disagree. You need to present evidence to support your analysis and solution, and convince your audience through the strength of your argument and the feasibility of your solution, to side with you.
Research Requirement
You are required to use a minimum of four secondary sources in your essay. Use the Research Writing and Citation and Documentation webinar, Journal Entry 16, and the Argument Essay Research Worksheet to help start your research and organize your essay.
The required secondary sources are
At least two articles from Penn Fosters digital library database, Expanded Academic ASAP
At least one non-profit or government organization (online or print). Look for website domains .org, .edu, and .gov.
One source that you choose.
Remember that all sources, no matter where they come from, should be evaluated for accuracy and validity. You may use more than four sources, but you should avoid using more than six. Borrowing too much from too many sources will overwhelm your voice in your essay and negatively affect your grade. It could also lead to plagiarism.
Process
Once youve chosen your topic, use the Guided Writing Assignment in Chapter 20 in your textbook to help you begin prewriting. As you begin your research, review your reading from Chapter 22, Finding Sources, Taking Notes, and Synthesizing Ideas, to find and evaluate secondary sources. Required Journal Entry 16 will also help you to narrow your topic, write a working thesis, identify your reasons, and start your research.
Use the Organizing & Drafting section of the Guided Writing Assignment of Chapter 20 to develop your thesis statement, choose a method of organization, create an outline or graphic organizer, and begin drafting your essay.
Review Chapter 23 in your text, Drafting, Revising, and Formatting a Research Project, as you draft your essay to ensure that you are incorporating your sources accurately and responsibly. Remember to include the sources you use in your essay on your list of references.
You will be using APA citation and documentation style to give credit to your sources. See the APA style section in Chapter 23 of your textbook.
Use the Revising flowchart in Chapter 20 to revise your draft. As part of this stage, review the purpose and requirements for this assignment to ensure that youve fulfilled them.
Follow the steps for editing and proofreading included in Chapter 20 to correct and polish your essay before you submit.
To help you write your research paper, review the sample argument essay, Pull the Plug on Explicit Lyrics by James Sturm located in Chapter 20 of your textbook. The essay is annotated to help you see how the student crafted his argument and incorporated his sources. The sample APA-style essay Schizophrenia: Definition and Treatment in Chapter 23 in your text illustrates in-text (parenthetical) citation and a list of references.
Identify specific public organization that has recently undergone a major change or reform.
What do you think has the greater potential: the media as a cause of crime or the media as a cure for crime? Why? Make sure you show you understand and explain the social construction of crime and justice. And please use as many examples as possible. Include a discussion and analysis of both sides of the issues, any theoretical explanations applicable, and why one side is more potent than the other. How and what would we change in the future, to minimize and/or maximize the impact of the media? Please go into as much depth and detail as possible.

Final Essay Question:
Truth is the key to making good and well-informed decisions in management. However, criminal justice organizations in some jurisdictions do not practice the ethics of truth. They do not create trust in their ability to deal with their citizens and fellow criminal justice organizations with truthfulness in a court of law. Many years ago, some folks said, if we dont clean this mess up, someone else is going to clean it up for us. The article you are reading for this essay was written in 2007, about three years after this old issue came back with a vengeance. It, too, will cost money, if you do not have a decisional policy point and procedure in place before that court date arrives. Do not ever think that it cannot happen here, because it always does. Two very key cases here: Brady v. Maryland and Giglio v. United States.
The writer poses the true question in his title to be answered in full using the format as layed out below, Should Police Officers Who Lie Be Terminated as a Matter of Public Policy?
As you strive to answer the overall question, use the steps below to arrive at your final answers in route to the last one:
It is simple, but is it fair?
Is it possible that you could lose some really good personnel who only messed up once in their whole career?
What effect will such a drastic measure have on the personnels families?
If you keep them, will it affect the overall credibility of your agency?
What conclusion does the writer reach? Why or why not?
What policy would you recommend for your chief, sheriff, warden, state police commissioner, and/or any other affiliated executive with whom you may work?

The U.S. EPA defines environmental justice as the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies (http://www.epa.gov/environmentaljustice/). Too often, major sources of pollution are located in or near predominately poor and/or minority communities. These problems represent a type of social injustice.
The goals of the assignment are to help you learn about topics we dont have time to cover in lecture, to improve your independent research skills, to connect course material to real world problems, and to improve your communication skills. The assignment consists of a research paper.
Each student will examine a type of pollution that impacts predominately poor and/or minority communities. Students will then write a research paper on one specific case study of an environmental injustice within their broader topic.
The paper must have the following sections:
Introduction a brief description of the environmental injustice issue and the specific case study that will be discussed
Scientific Background This discussion should general, not specific to one location or event.
Basic Information The type of pollution and how it is released into the environment
Environmental Fate How long the pollution persists and how it moves through the environment
Environmental Impacts How it affects plants, animals
Human Impacts – How it affects humans
Solutions Possible methods of remediation
Case Study This should be a detailed discussion of a specific example of community impacted by the pollution
History Explain how the pollution occurred and what has occurred since it happened, including any legal action and remediation
Key actors Name and describe the community, legal, governmental, and corporate organizations involved
Demographics The racial, cultural, and economic makeup of the community
Impact the impact of the pollution on the community as a whole and on individuals; includes quantitative data such as how many individuals affected, lethal dose of pollutant determined in studies, etc.
Reaction the community reaction to the pollution
Resolution Discuss any resolution to the problem and/or ongoing efforts by or on behalf of the community
Conclusion Give your recommendations on how the community should proceed and discuss how the problem can be avoided in the future.
References List all articles and websites used as sources of information for the paper. Cite where the references are used within the text using numbers or an author, year format.
