Hi, This a traditional argumentative paper explaining how “Psychosocial therapies do not significantly improve the lives of individuals with mental health disorders and other mental-related issues.” I will share the details of this paper that my professor has advised and what he is looking for so please read thoroughly and apply what he is expecting, this is a rough draft so its okay if minor mistakes are made, please use google docs, I will provide you with my rewriting exercise this essay will be about so that its easier to understand the outline, I am not entirely sure if it is 10 pages but I do know for sure that it needs to be 9 paragraphs plus the work cited pages please. i will also now copy and paste his outline and expectations, if it is no trouble please send me proof from turnitin.com that this paper does not have any AI-generated work, thank you!!! fill free to make any changes to my rewriting exercise however please inform me so that I am aware of the changes being made. here is the outline that my professor has provided for us down below
Write the first version of Paper 3, a “traditional argument” that argues Position B of your selected issue (the opposite position/thesis that you argued in Paper 2). Position B appears on your approved outline presented in “Pre-writing Exercise 3.” The goal of this paper is to convince readers that Position B is true, as developed by main points and subpoints that offer reasons why or how the thesis is “true” and which incorporate documented evidence and logical explanations as support.
This assignment represents your first attempt to write the complete Paper 3 assignment (not just part of it), in keeping with the required structure outlined below. By the due date (see “Calendar”), post “Paper 3 – First Version” to Canvas and email a copy to each of your Writing Partners. You should not submit the final version of this paper until you have received feedback from your writing partners and revised your first version based on that feedback.
