=OVIC&category=Health+and+Medicineand reviewing your brainstorming activity, select
two potential issues that are related to your career of Nursing. Again, be sure you’re
selecting and writing about two separate issues.As you work on the journal, remember to
refer to the assignment guidelines and rubric below to make sure you’re fulfilling each
critical element.Assignment Guidelines and RubricOverview: The journal activity in this
course is private between you and the instructor. This week, you spent some time reflecting
on persuasion in your everyday life, and you shared some potential topic ideas with your
peers and instructor. But why is persuasion so important? Let’s think about that a little bit
in this journal assignment.Specifically, the following critical elements must be
addressed:After exploring the Opposing Viewpoints Database and reviewing your
brainstorming activity, identify two issues that are related to your career or degree:Write a
fully developed paragraph for issue one (5–8 sentences each).Explain at least two clear
arguable sides to the issue.Explain how the issue relates to your field or degree or potential
field or degree.Write a fully developed paragraph for issue two (5–8 sentences
each).Explain at least two clear arguable sides to the issue.Explain how the issue relates to
your field or degree or potential field or degree.After exploring the arguments related to
your issues, take a moment to consider the bigger picture. Then, briefly reflect (in 1 to 2
paragraphs) on the importance of persuasion for the issue you are most likely to write
about. Be specific in your assignment; this information will help guide you as you work on
your project in the coming weeks.Identify which side you might argue if you plan to pursue
this issue in your final persuasive essay.Identify your potential audience and why your topic
would be relevant to them.Guidelines for Submission: Save your work in a Word document
with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Then, check
your writing for errors. Please use link provided above to retrieve your two separate issues
and please also use reading attched called modle 1below as additional reference.ORDER
NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But
do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so
indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly.
2. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read
over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as
necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious
errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10
to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers
with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over
the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise,
large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space
between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at
“padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not
fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch
margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to
use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be
hard to follow your argument.
