Good Persuasive Argument Uses Assignment List Wee

WEEK 2 –The topic selected for the informative essay is “Air pollution”. This alludes to the act of releasing harmful substances into the air, thus making it unfit for both humans and other living organisms (Straif, Cohen & Samet, 2017). The problem of air pollution affects everyone in society; for this reason, I feel that informing the audience about it will be necessary. Pollution is associated with many health problems for both humans and animals in the ecosystem. This topic is relevant to the learners as they are in the generation that can helps end the problem of pollution. Therefore, by informing the audience about air pollution, they will be able to make wise decisions when it comes to matters related to environment conservation. Besides, they will embrace best practices that can facilitate environment conservation.

The debatable essay will entail persuading the audience to take a side on the selected topic. In this case, I will debate the topic “Should abortion is legalized?” This is among the most controversial issues in society; I find it more critical following the morals and ethics associated with the act of abortion (Donohue & Levitt, 2019). Abortion has been used as a scapegoat for the people’s unethical behaviors, despite being illegal in most of the nations; it is still prevalent in society today. By looking at the cons of legalizing abortion, I will explain to the audience that the cases of abortion and unprotected sex will augment following its legalization. Further, I will explain to the audience the importance of safeguarding any form of life, in whatever the situation.

A good persuasive argument uses credible sources, objective evidence, and emotional “hooks” to make use of logos, ethos, and pathos respectively.

Be sure your thesis statement is very clear. It should be a single complete sentence, including both a subject and a predicate, that combine to make claim. Example: “The USA should be more competitive in establishing a presence on Mars.”

Your introduction paragraph should include a “hook” to grab the reader’s attention. The thesis statement is typically seen in the first paragraph. Your body paragraphs will support the thesis.
