you will develop and construct a causal argument focused on using logos. The is argument will put forward an idea on the provided topic and will back it up with clear points and evidence.
Focus on this topic: The readings for Module 3 focus on different issues and problematic events in different businesses and industries. Saddiqui discussed what has led to the push for self-driving cars, but also the issues that come with this. Sachs and Breslow discussed issues in the NFL and they argued about how these issues started or what they cause.
Following these examples, look at a problem that you see occurring in businesses, with companies, or with brands or products. This can be any issue that affects customers, producers, workers, or even an entire industry. Using this problem, you will argue what causes created this issue and then argue what effects do or can come from it. Be logical and use your sources and discussion to prove your points and avoid the Post Hoc and slippery slope fallacies.
You may use any of the companies you have written about in assignments for Module 3 (or earlier) or you can choose a new company. You may revisit, take from, or add to any of the assignments from Module 3 to build this essay.
Follow this format.
An introduction that introduces a reader to your topic and then gives some context for what the problem is. This will end with your thesis statement that will cover your main idea, the supporting points, and why this idea is important. Argue these ideas: WHAT are the causes of the problem/issue and HOW do the causes lead to the problem?; WHAT are the effects the problem/issue and HOW do the effects come from it?; WHY is this important or why should this problem be examined or known?
You will write at least 4 body paragraphs that will focus on causes that lead to the issue and effects that do or can come from the issue (you are free to add more paragraphs if needed). Each of these will use evidence and quotes from your sources to prove your ideas.
Body paragraphs 1 and 2 will develop the causes that do or potentially lead to the issue. Each will develop a different cause and will use sources to support your argument. Be sure to not just say what leads to the issue, but why these causes lead to it. Argue for how one event leads to the issue at hand.
Body paragraphs 3 and 4 will develop the effects that will or may come from the issue. Each will develop a different effect and will use sources to support your argument. Be sure to not just say what comes from the issue, but why the effects follow it. Argue for how one event follows from the issue at hand.
You will end with a conclusion paragraph. This will start by restating your main idea and will then discuss an idea or action that the reader can take with them or perform after they have read the essay. What should be done with your idea or what can someone think about?
