Child Abuse

Did you know that report of child abuse is made every ten seconds? The Mansfield couple’s case gives us a clear idea of how parents can abuse their children. Unfortunately, according to his grandmother, the 7-year-old boy had visible bruises on his entire body, cuts in his wrists, and cigarette burns. She reported this case to the authorities. Because today’s society is becoming more corrupted by directly affecting our children, we need to be informed of the different ways that exist to prevent child abuse and punish the abuser(s).

Assignment:

For this essay, take the topic that you researched for the first essay and write a proposal argumentative essay. This type of essay identifies a particular societal problem and then proposes a solution to address that problem. For instance, a writer may propose an argument in favor of Congress passing stricter federal gun laws, or a writer may propose an argument urging people to stop texting while driving. Good proposal arguments include plenty of solid factual evidence (logos) but also include ethos and pathos appeals.

The purpose of this assignment is to compose a 6-8 paragraph proposal argument essay in which you convince your readers to take action or not take action on an issue of your choice.

You should include evidence (e.g. facts, statistics, and expert opinion) from at least four reputable sources; at least half of these sources must be obtained through BC Academic databases. If sources are not from the college database, they must be CRAAP tested and pass!

AUDIENCE & TONE: You are writing for people who may or may not be familiar with your topic, so you will want to provide some background information. You may also want to assume that your readers have an opposite opinion to yours, so you will want to write to convince them to agree with you. The tone of your essay should be professional/formal and you should write in the third-person (people, Americans, they, etc.) point-of-view.

Requirements:

You must use at least 4 sources to provide evidence for your argument. You are encouraged to use more sources than the minimum.
Do not use Google, Wikipedia, Pro/Con.org, etc. Providing a dictionary definition or a quote from someone famous (example: Ben Franklin or your favorite musician) does NOT count toward your 4 sources, even if you found it in the library. I will allow you to use sources from the internet as long as you have your minimum of 4 library sources, and as long as the sources pass the CRAAP test.
At some point in your argument, you must acknowledge the counter-argument, which means that you must provide some unbiased and fair discussion of what someone might say to argue against you. We will speak in class about ways to use this to make your own argument stronger. You are encouraged to use a credible source from the “other side” to show your fairness as an informed arguer on the subject.
You must avoid using very polarizing or extreme language, for example: completely, absolutely, without a doubt, just, ridiculous, evil, etc. See me if you have questions about word choice.
You must use proper MLA format for the entire paper, including a correct Works Cited page.
Use proper in-text citation methods, including having an introductory phrase before direct quotes. example: Duhigg argues, “We can change our habits, but because they are deeply ingrained into the brain, it can be a struggle to do so” (20). https://butlercc.libguides.com/mla/intext
You must have a clear, argumentative thesis statement in your first paragraph.
You must have an introduction and conclusion that are separate paragraphs. The intro should grab the attention of your reader without being off-topic/ include relevant background information, and a conclusion should wrap up the point without introducing major new material.
Your body paragraphs must each have separate, supported points that build upon one another. Try to place your strongest point where it will be most effective: toward the end of your paper. You should have at least two body paragraphs but may have more. The counterargument can be included anywhere in your paper.
Your paper must be at least 1000 words long. The word count does NOT include the Works Cited page.

Using an Outline to Draft Your Essay: 6 Paragraph Structure

1. Paragraph One (Introduction): Attention grabbing hook connected to topic. Relevant background information/history on topic. Thesis statement.

2. Paragraph Two: First Assertion (reason): 2-3 pieces of evidence

3. Paragraph Three: Second Assertion (reason): 2-3 pieces of evidence

4. Paragraph Four: Final Assertion (reason): 2-3 pieces of evidence

5. Paragraph Five Counterargument: Discuss and refute one or two opposing arguments.

6. Paragraph Six Conclusion: Restate your thesis. Summarize your main points from paragraphs two, three and four. Connect your argument to the “bigger picture” of life/society/the future.

Step by Step Directions:

1. Think of an attention grabber. A shocking fact or startling statistic or real-world example works well.

2. Write three sentences providing context on the issue. Discuss any significant background information about it. Alternatively, you can discuss the history of the issue or how it has manifested in current events (this can also be discussed in the first body paragraph)

3. State your thesis: this should clearly indicate, without a doubt, which position you plan on arguing about your topic (Topic + position+ why/how = complete thesis statement)

4. Start your second paragraph with your first assertion as to why your side of the argument has much validity. Add three facts to support your claim in the rest of the second paragraph. These facts need to be from research or irrefutable pieces of evidence.

5. Start your third paragraph with your second assertion. Add three facts to support this claim, adding to the rest of the third paragraph. These facts need to be from research or irrefutable pieces of evidence.

6. Start your fourth paragraph with your third assertion. Add three facts to support this claim, adding to the rest of the third paragraph. These facts need to be from research or irrefutable pieces of evidence.

7. Counterargument acknowledgement: Open your fifth paragraph by stating that “On the other hand, some might disagree with these claims, arguing that… and…”

8. Address the counterargument Pick 1: Explain why opposing arguments are incorrect using logic and facts (refutation) OR acknowledge (concede) that the opposing side has a valid point, but then explain why your argument is STRONGER and should be considered.

9. Conclusion- Restate your thesis using new words at the start of your concluding paragraph. Remind the reader of your main three claims and their importance, without repeating words you’ve already used. Connect your thesis to a greater issue in society.
