ENG 101 Opposing Viewpoints Pre-Essay Assignment
December 04, 2022
Name: Chandra Davis
Points: ____/50
Directions
: A critical thinker can have their own opinion, but should also see valid points of the opposing side. This assignment is to test your ability to broaden your mind (and your critical thinking skills) and take control of your own bias. You will pick a controversial topic from the list below (
one you feel very passionately about
). For example, if you are pro-life you will provide one valid
reason as to why this is your viewpoint. However, you MUST
also provide one valid point stated by the other side – the pro-choice camp. You must cite
your sources used support
. You will not be graded on your opinion, but how you present
it
to me. Vague or short opinions with no supporting evidence from unreliable resources will
count against you. This organizer MUST
be uploaded BEFORE
you begin writing your essay and before the workshop draft!
DO YOUR RESEARCH; there are typically valid points to either side of an argument.
Please select
any topic you want, but here are a few for consideration. If you choose your own (not on the list) it must
be approved by me via EMAIL
…
Same-Sex Marriage
Universal Healthcare
Corporate Bailouts
Stem Cell Research
Minimum Wage
Free College Tuition
Assisted Suicide
Writer’s Choice (must be approved)
Congress Term Limits
Equal Work, Equal Pay
Capital Punishment
Coronavirus Government Response Topic Chosen: Same Sex Marriage_
Do you support or oppose the chosen topic? Absolutely Not
Why do you support
or oppose
this?
I feel that same sex marriage and relationships goes against everything that the human race stands for. GOD created a male and female even in animals to replenish the earth. HE gave females the ability to carry and bear children not a male.
What is a valid argument of the supporting
viewpoint?
ENG 101 Opposing Viewpoints Pre-Essay Assignment
The only argument that I could ever think that anyone could have on this issue is maybe the fact that it is our constitutional right to love and be with and to marry who we choose to and not who society chooses for us to be with.
What is a valid argument of the opposing
viewpoint?
It is an abomination to GOD and all HE created us to be. We were created in HIS image, and I do not believe GOD or Jesus was homosexual.
