Task: You will write an argumentative research paper of 4000–4500 words. “The argumentative research paper consists of an introduction in which the writer clearly introduces the topic and informs his audience exactly which stance he intends to take; this stance is often identified as the thesis statement. An important goal of the argumentative research paper is persuasion, which means the topic chosen should be debatable or controversial” (The Writing Lab and The OWL at Purdue, 2018). This assignment also has the goal of being multidisciplinary, which means that the evidence addressing the argument must be critically analyzed from at least two disciplinary viewpoints/perspectives. (“Interdisciplinarity” is the higher level of this approach, in which two disciplines work together at the level of method.) Your paper will be formatted according to the instructions listed in the Formatting section below.
