I need help with my next paper. This is for Essay 2 Here's the requirements:
1551 Essays #2 and #3
Essays 2 and 3 are closely related. Essay 2 will be an inquiry essay. Basically, you will take a broad topic and narrow it until you have a question to answer. For example:
Broad Topic                Narrowed Topic                    Inquiry
Terrorism >             Safety on commercial airlines       Should airline pilots carry guns?
In essay 2, you will be required to look at both sides of your issue, pro and con, yes and no. You'll find outside sources that support both points of view and analyze the issue thoroughly. In Essay 3, you'll take a stand and argue one side or the other, based on the research you did for Essay 2. Choose your topic carefully. These projects are going to comprise ;most of the rest of the semester, so pick something that not only won't bore you in 5 minutes, but also something "arguable. " For example, the inquiry "Is having a large national deficit bad for the economy?" is a poor topic. Very few people would argue that a large deficit is great, and you won't find many credible sources that say it is. However, the inquiry "Will increasing taxes lower the national deficit?" will certainly yield plenty of pro and con sources.
Essay 2 - 5-7 pages (3 for each side of the issue).
These are the requirements. I already have the topic. I chose to do it on languages in the school system. Some people believe that Americans should only focus on the American language. I want to show the pros and cons of making language a requirement in school. My problem is though, I have plenty of positive sources that state why it is a good thing to have languages in the school, but I cannot find any negative sources.
Also, I need journals, and books to do this paper. I cannot do an internet search. I need credible sources. If anybody can help me, I'll again give 2 cookies for each source.
