Hi,
I have an essay paper due rough draft by 12am. The topic is why defunding the police would negatively impact marginalized communities.
PLEASE NO AI, CHATGPT or plagerism.
The guidelines below must be read carefully. I put in bold some important details.
Compose a position argument on a significant problem (or issue) and direct your argument to a specific audience. Whether you are taking a stand on a personal experience, a newsworthy situation, or a lifestyle, educational, or religious belief, provide a vivid description of the issue so that your audience can appreciate the significance of the problem and understand your position (or claim). Your description should reveal the importance of the issue to you as well as its effect on your audience. Your clear position on the issue should appear in your thesis statement. Support your thesis with reasons that are themselves supported by specific details, examples, and anecdotes. As you draft your position argument, be sure to acknowledge and address any concerns or beliefs that oppose your own.
As you draft your position argument, be sure to acknowledge and address any concerns or beliefs that oppose your own. You will be required to include a counter argument/rebuttal paragraph that addresses one counterpoint and rebuts it. This shows your awareness of different viewpoints and lends credibility, or ethos, to your argument.
A position argument is not just your opinion. It is a carefully constructed point of view based on reasons and evidence. Bring your supporting reasons to life with research through detailed, credible evidence and examples, whether personal anecdotes, statistics, or other details.
Because you want your audience to consider seriously your position, conduct research to see what evidence your opposition uses. Acknowledging the values and beliefs of your audience helps you establish common ground. In doing so, you make clear that you respect and understand your audience—and hope they will try to understand you as you work to persuade them to change their attitudes or actions.
You will utilize elements pathos, and ethos. As you are considering the elements of your rhetorical situation, you will also want to consider whether your audience is supportive, wavering, or hostile.
Your essay will include the following format:
One inch margins
Typed and double-spaced
Heading is double-spaced on the left side of the page (includes name, my name, class, and date)
Upper right hand corner has your last name and the page number (EX: Dewey 1)
Font is Times New Roman, size 12
Title is original and is centered one line under heading
750-1000 words in length
One paraphrase,
Three direct quotes
One summary
An introduction, three support paragraphs, a counterargument/refutation paragraph, and a conclusion
A Works Cited page with at least three to four sources. At least one source MUST be from an academic source from the GCC library.
I hope some amazing writer out there can help me with this in such a short time frame.
Thank you!
