Each article assigned in Weeks 3 and 4 presents a valid argument that reflects a stance at the time they were published. While they make compelling arguments regarding their individual topics, however, much has changed in our understanding of the issues they raise.
Choose one of the readings in Weeks 3 and 4 and update the research supporting their argument. Or, present an argument that may oppose or counter their argument, using valid research. Note: sources used to support either approach must be derived from the Stafford Library databases, such as EBSCOhost.
In your essay, address the following:
How does the assigned article (from Weeks 3 or 4) reflect a current understanding of the topic? Which aspects ring true today?
What are some significant considerations that need to be updated or revised? Be sure to explain why.
Present information that the author should consider making connections to the sources you found on this topic. (Reference at least two peer-reviewed sources from EBSCO).
What information should be added? Detail the information from your research that should be added to make their argument stronger.
How do you tie it all together in your conclusion? Explain how the points of view from your research update or refute the argument.
Your writing needs to adopt the aims of academic writing detailed in They Say/I Say (Chapter 9) and The Little Seagull Handbook (W-2). Refer to the Assignment Expectations in the Start Here module for more details.
