CONCLUSION

Question 28

——aims to convince the audience that the opinion is valid and worth listening
to by presenting credible evidence and addressing the existing counterclaims. Before
composing a position paper, one should first know if the topic is relevant and that both its
negative and positive sides are plausible. These are some of the guide questions crafted by
Martin (2017) in choosing for an issue or a topic:
 Is it a real issue, with genuine controversy and uncertainty?
 Can you distinctly identify two positions?
 Are you personally interested in advocating one of these positions?
 Is the issue narrow enough to be manageable?
 After choosing the topic, do some research on both sides of the argument, even if you already
have an opinion or position on your topic. Looking at both the pros and cons will help create a
list of supporting evidence and establish stronger counterclaims. The supporting evidence
should include all or a combination of factual knowledge, statistical inferences, informed
opinion, and personal testimony.
 Next, consider the audience by asking the following questions:
 Who is your audience?
 What do they believe?
 Where do they stand on the issue?
 How are their interests involved?
 What evidence is likely to be effective with them?

Question 30

In a ———- assignment, your charge is to choose a side on a particular topic,
sometimes controversial, and build up a case for your opinion or position. You will use facts,
opinions, statistics, and other forms of evidence to convince your reader that your position is
the best one. To do this, you’ll collect research for your position paper and craft an outline to
create a well-constructed argument.

Answer 30

position paper

Question 31

Your position paper** centers around a topic that is supported by research.** Your topic
and position have to hold up when challenged, so it’s helpful to research a few topics and
pick the one you can best argue, even if it may not reflect your personal beliefs. In many
cases, the subject matter and your topic are not as important as your ability to make a
strong case. Your topic can be simple or complex, but your argument must be sound and
logical

Answer 31

1. Select a Topic for Your Pape

Question 32

——is necessary to determine whether sufficient evidence is
available to back up your stance. You don’t want to get too attached to a topic that falls
apart under a challenge.
Search a few reputable sites, like education (.edu) sites and government (.gov) sites,
to find professional studies and statistics. If you come up with nothing after an hour of
searching or find that your position doesn’t stand up to the findings on reputable sites,
choose another topic. This could save you from a lot of frustration later.

Answer 32

2. Conduct Preliminary Research

Question 33

You must know the opposite view and know your own stance when you take a position.
Take the time to determine all the possible challenges that you might face as you support
your view. Your position paper must address the opposing view and chip away at it with
counter-evidence. Consider having friends, colleagues, or family debate the topic with you
to get alternative points of view that you might not have readily considered yourself. When
you find arguments for the other side of your position, you can fairly address them and
state why they are not sound.
Another helpful exercise is to draw a line down the middle of a plain sheet of paper
and list your points on one side, and list opposing points on the other side. Which
argument is better? If it looks like your opposition might outnumber you with valid points,
you should reconsider your topic or your stance on the topic.

Answer 33

3. Challenge Your Own Topic

Question 34

Once you’ve determined that your position is supportable and the opposite position is
(in your opinion) weaker than your own, you are ready to branch out with your research.
Go to a library, conduct a search, or ask the reference librarian to help you find more
sources. You can, of course, conduct online research, but it’s important to know how to
properly vet the validity of the sources you use. Ensure that your articles are written by
ASSH2005
05 Supplemental Reading *Property of STI
 student.feedback@sti.edu Page 2 of 2
reputable sources, and be wary of singular sources that differ from the norm, as these are
often subjective rather than factual.
Try to collect various sources and include both an expert’s opinion (doctor, lawyer, or
professor, for example) and personal experience (from a friend or family member) that
can add an emotional appeal to your topic. These statements should support your own
position but should read differently than your own words. The point of these is to add
depth to your argument or provide anecdotal support.
