You should include: ​-Background information/ history of your topic ​-An argument for or against the topic at hand, or an argument explaining the importance of studying/researching the topic. ​ -Credible sources that help develop your argument (guidelines are listed below) ​-You must “answer the opposition” in your essay– what alternate views on the topic (opinions that are different than your own) have you considered? Choose a strong argument show how you have considered it, and explain why your own argument is more appropriate or effective. Choosing a weak opposing argument only damages your credibility. ​-A conclusion that connects your topic to a larger philosophical problem/ present day situation that is specific. This is worth 20 points, so do not leave it out! Guidelines: 1.
