On Writing an Ethical Argument Evaluation Paper (PHIL 302)
Topic is Racism between social Classes
Before you begin writing, it is crucial to pick a subject, topic, or a specific argument that interests you. Your paper will be a critical evaluation of the soundness of an argument. If you already have an argument, then you can go on to the next step. If not, you may choose to discuss one from an author you have read, or you may formulate your own. In some courses, you may consider a case study for your paper. In that case you will formulate an argument that purports to defend a resolution to the case. You should note that it is not crucial that you pick an argument with which you agree. It is about equally difficult (or easy) to write a paper opposing an argument as it is to write one supporting it, so you should probably choose an argument that is interesting first.
Your paper will have seven parts:
I. Introduction
II. Position
III. Argument
IV. Justification

WRITING ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAYSFor most people, the true testsarantatersall
WRITING ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAYS
For most people, the true test of their critical thinking skills comes when they write an argumentative essay, one that takes a stand on an issue and uses logic and evidence to convince readers. When you write an argument, you follow the same process you use when you write any essay. However, because the purpose of an argument is to change the way readers think, you need to use some additional strategies to present your ideas to your audience.
A)
Planning an Argumentative Essay
1) Choosing a Debatable Topic
Because an argumentative essay attempts to change the way people think, it must focus on a
debatable topic
, one about which reasonable people may disagree. Factual statements—verifiable assertions about which reasonable people do not disagree—are, therefore, not suitable as topics for argument.
Fact:
First-year students are not required to purchase a meal plan from the university.
Debatable Topic:
First-year students should be required to purchase a meal plan from the university.
Your topic should be narrow enough so that you can write about it within your page limit. Remember, in your argumentative essay, you will have to develop your own ideas and present convincing support while also pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of opposing arguments. If your topic is too broad, you will not be able to treat it in enough detail.
In addition, your topic should be interesting to you and to your readers. Keep in mind that some topics—such as “The Need for Gun Control” or “The Fairness of the Death Penalty”—have been discussed and written about so often that you may not be able to say anything new or interesting about them. Instead of relying on an overused topic, choose one that enables you to contribute something to the debate.
2) Developing an Argumentative Thesis
After you have chosen a topic, your next step is to state your position in an
argumentative thesis
, one that takes a strong stand. Properly worded, this thesis statement lays the foundation for the rest of your argument. One way to make sure that your thesis statement actually does take a stand is to formulate an
antithesis
, a statement that takes the opposite position. If you can state an antithesis, your thesis statement takes a stand.
Thesis Statement:
Term limits would improve government by bringing people with fresh ideas into office every few years.
Antithesis:
Term limits would harm government because elected officials would always be inexperienced.
To make sure your argumentative thesis is effective, ask the following questions:
Is your thesis one with which reasonable people would disagree?
Can you formulate an antithesis?
Can your thesis be supported by evidence?
Does your thesis make clear to readers what position you are taking?
3) Defining Your Terms
You should always define the key terms you use in your argument— especially those you use in your thesis statement. After all, the soundness of an ...

You may not use I believe, I think, or In my opinion anywhere in your essay!
Essay Specifics:
Before you begin writing your essay, it would help if you created an outline to follow. The type of outline you create will depend on whether your readers primarily agree or disagree with you. Below are two examples:
Readers Primarily Agree with You
Strengthen their convictions by organizing your argument around a series of reasons backed by supporting evidence or by refuting opposing arguments point by point.
I. Present the Issue
II. Provide a thesis statement -
a direct statement of your position
III. Present your most plausible reasons and evidence
IV. Concede or refute opposing reasons or objections to your argument
V. Conclude:
Reaffirm your position
Readers Primarily Disagree with You
Begin by emphasizing common ground, and make a concession to show that you have considered the opposing position carefully and with an open mind.
I. Present the Issue:
Reframe the issue in terms of common values
II. Concede:
Acknowledge the wisdom of an aspect of the opposing position
III. Provide a thesis statement
- a direct statement of your position, qualified as necessary
IV. Present your most plausible reasons and evidence
V. Conclude:
Reiterate shared values
Whatever organizational strategy you adopt, do not hesitate to change your outline as necessary while drafting and revising. For instance, you might find it more effective to hold back on presenting your own position until you have discussed unacceptable alternatives. or you might if find a more powerful way to order the reasons for supporting your position.

2. What is an Argumentative
Essay?
The purpose of an argumentative essay is
to persuade the reader to accept—or
seriously consider--your opinion on a
controversial issue
Has five parts: Thesis (Claim), Reasons,
Evidence, Counterclaim, Rebuttal
(plus Introduction and Conclusion)
3. Consider your Audience
Whom are you trying to reach?
What do they already know about your
topic?
What is your relationship with your
audience and how does it impact your
word choice and tone?
4. THESIS/CLAIM
Your opinion or position on an issue
Must be supported with reasons and
evidence
Evidence can include quotes, facts, and
data
Evidence MUST be explained
5. REASONS
Your reasons support the thesis and form
argument with your evidence.
Typical supporting paragraph structure
goes like this: topic sentence (A reason
why your thesis is correct), then
evidence/support of that reason. Finally,
include an explanation of the evidence.
Be sure to repeat a similar structure with
every body paragraph
6. COUNTER CLAIM
Consider the opposite side
Argues against your claim
Turn against your argument to challenge it
Then turn back to reaffirm your position
7. REBUTTAL
Turn back to your original position
Responds to and refutes* issues
presented by the counterclaim
*Refute-prove (a statement or theory) to
be wrong or false; disprove.
8. The Opposing Side
Ask these questions:
1. Who might disagree with my position?
Why?
2. What reasons do people have for
disagreeing with me?
3. What evidence would support an
opposing argument?
9. Counter Claim
Key phrases to use:
One might object that...
It might seem that...
It's true that...
Admittedly...
Of course...
10. EXAMPLE
CLAIM: “More Americans are choosing
low-carb diets because the media
promotes low-carb diets as the new way to
a skinnier body.”
COUNTER CLAIM: “Some Americans
don't watch television commercials
because they own a DVR or Tivo, but
most Americans are exposed to other
forms of advertisement in magazines,
newspapers, and highway billboards.
11. Where to put it?
Introduction w/Thesis
Reason 1 w/Evidence
Reason 2 w/Evidence
Counter Claim/Rebuttal
Conclusion w/Restated Thesis
Each of these will be one paragraph!
