ENG 100\/101 ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY
\nPurpose: The purpose of this assignment is to explore how elements in our popular
\nculture can inspire us to change, using LOGOS only. In doing this, you are choosing a
\nside of one of the issues listed in this assignment packet to work with. You will then find
\nthree provable arguments to back the side you have chosen. Your objective is to be
\nable to prove each of these arguments with details that can later be supported by our
\nreadings and other research we will conduct in the future. No counter arguments are
\nallowed, nor are \u201cI\u201d statements, personal opinions, or resolutions permitted.
\nGeneral Requirements: Essays will be written in 12 point Times New Roman font and
\nshould be double-spaced. MLA formatting style is mandatory – see your MLA materials
\nand book for more information. The argumentative essay will be a minimum of 4.5 pages.
\nThis will then turn into the research paper, which will be a minimum of 5.5 full pages, plus
\na Works Cited as an additional page. Your argumentative and research essay will be a
\nminimum of five full paragraphs. Five paragraphs is also the maximum number of
\nparagraphs you can have. It should also contain proper MLA in-text citation of sources
\nafter each paraphrase and quote, and a Works Cited page containing this information \u2013
\nthese guidelines can be found in your MLA materials. Don\u2019t forget to have a catchy title!
\nYOU MAY NOT USE \u201cI\u201d STATEMENTS FOR THIS PAPER! This argumentative essay
\nalone is worth 15% of your final grade, whereas the research component is worth 20% of
\nyour grade. THIS MEANS THAT THIS ALL ACCUMULATES TO 35% OF YOUR
\nGRADE.

\ndraft for the research essay), then you do not qualify to submit a research essay, which
\nmeans you will fail the class and\/or be asked to withdraw.
\nNO OUTSIDE RESEARCH IS ALLOWED FOR THE ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY; this
\nmeans no websites or database articles are allowed. If you use outside resources

\nNotes:
\n\u25cf Remember, even if you are discussing an emotional issue and want to
\nstress its importance, try to present your topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service) fairly (presenting what\u2019s
\nimportant from a proposed argument).
\n\u25cf Develop your point logically. This means you will be using only LOGOS for
\nyour essay.
\n\u25cf Provide evidence, facts, or other points of view to support your point.
\n\u25cf If your writing becomes too opinionated or one-dimensional, you will lose
\nyour audience. Make sure you formulate a thesis, the point the essay
\nmakes and needs to support. Everything in the essay should be logically
\nrelated to the main idea so that it directs and shapes what choices you
\nmake about what you are going to say.
\n\u25cf Implied in your thesis is your purpose for writing, what you are trying to
\naccomplish in the essay.
\n\u25cf Being clear about your purpose helps you select details as well as the most
\neffective way to organize your essay.
\nTHE ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY will be submitted on Blackboard (see your
\nAssignments and Essays tab on the left-hand side of Blackboard) by the deadline
\nlisted on your course schedule. NO late essays will be accepted; failure to
\nsubmit one will result in a ZERO for the essay.

\nCHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING SEVEN ESSAYS TO WRITE ABOUT:
\nCHOICE 1: MOVIE MADNESS
\nCeleste Armenti once noted that:
\n\u201cMovies are not a good source of role models or heroes. It appears that the majority of
\ntoday’s films focus on violence and crime. Since we live in a nation where crime is the
\ncause of many social problems that exist, I do not think that portraying criminals and
\nviolent characters as heroes is good for children. By doing this, the film industry tells
\nthe audience that violent people are admirable and that their values should be
\nembraced. I feel there should be more positive role models in movies and on television
\nso that young people can actually have someone to look up to who represents positive
\nvalues\u201d (qtd. in Gillespie and Becker 376).
\nDo you believe this statement to be true or false? You are choosing between two
\narguments: movies are a good role model for children OR movies are not a good role
\nmodel for children. What are your three reasons to prove this side of the issue? Use
\nthe following article found in the Popular Culture Packet:
\nGerard Jones\u2019 \u201cViolent Media is Good for Kids\u201d (pp. 100-103)
\nNote: You could also mention films that you have seen recently that deal with
\nviolence as long as you discuss what the major conflicts were, whom they were
\nbetween, and how it could influence\/encourage people to act violently.
\nNote 2: This should only discuss movies\/film NOT television or any other forms of
\nmedia.
\nTip: Do NOT use the above quote in your essay.
\nYOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE \u201cI\u201d STATEMENTS!!!!
\nCHOICE 2: SOCIAL-LESS MEDIA
\nIn your multimedia section on Blackboard, there is a YouTube video called \u201cThe
\nDangers of Facebook\u201d. While this video noted that social media is good for some
\nthings (i.e. businesses), it argued that it has the following negative aspects:
\n\u25cf Social media makes connections to people, rather than connecting with
\npeople and that you can\u2019t \u201ccompartmentalize human relationships\u201d
\n\u25cf We reveal too much about ourselves online, some of which is unnecessary (i.e.
\nwhat we had for breakfast)
\n\u25cf Some people treat social media as a game, one in which the goal is to have so
\nmany friends online, when in fact they do not have many friends in the real
\nworld.
\n\u25cf Because we reveal too much about ourselves, it puts us at a security risk
\n\u25cf Social media can ultimately cause issues both at school and at work
\n\u25cf There is too much of a need to stay constantly connected and not enough time
\nis spent \u201cswitching off\u201d from it
\n\u25cf Social media can cause major issues in our relationships, whether it be
\nfriendships, dating, or other social areas
\nWrite an argument showing whether or not you agree or disagree with these
\nstatements. In other words, you are choosing between two arguments: social media
\nhas positive qualities that make it suitable for all users OR social media is
\ndetrimental to those who use it. In order to create the best possible argument, only
\nchoose three areas to write about (one for each body paragraph). Use ONE of the
\nfollowing articles found in the Popular Culture Packet:
\nDamian Pierce\u2019s \u201cFacebook’s ‘Dark Side’: Study Finds Link to Socially Aggressive
\nNarcissism\u201d (pp. 57-58)
\nSherry Turkle\u2019s \u201cNo Need to Call\u201d (pp.42-56)
\nJenna Wortham\u2019s \u201cI Had a Nice Time With You…On the App\u201d (pp. 40-41)
\nNote: If you use these arguments as they are written above, it is considered
\nplagiarism – find a way to re-write them.
\nNote 2: You DO NOT need to watch the video to answer this question.
\nNote 3: The Internet is NOT social media!!!
\nNote 4: NO CYBERBULLYING ARGUMENTS ARE ALLOWED!
\nYOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE \u201cI\u201d STATEMENTS!!!!!
\nCHOICE 3: VIOLENCE ON TELEVISION
\nChris Haley, a 17-year-old junior from a High School in Lewisville, Texas once
\nsaid: \u201cour generation is far more desensitized to violence than any other
\ngeneration. TVs raise children now more than parents do and television caters
\nto children\u2019s violent fantasies. Parents are working more and spending less time
\nwith their kids\u201d (qtd in Leland 157).
\nReacting to this quote, you will argue whether or not you agree with this
\nstatement. You are choosing one of two arguments: television violence has no
\nimpact on children OR television violence majorly impacts children in a
\nnegative way. What are your three reasons to prove this side of your
\nargument? Use ONE of the following articles found in the Popular Culture
\nPacket:
\nMary A. Hepburn\u2019s \u201cTelevision Violence May Cause Youth Violence\u201d (pp. 112-115)
\nSteven Johnson \u201cWatching TV Makes You Smarter\u201d (pp. 82-90)
\nJohn Leland\u2019s \u201cThe Secret Life of Teens\u201d (pp.104-108)
\nMike Males\u2019 \u201cStop Blaming Kids and TV\u201d (pp. 108-111)
\nTip: Do NOT use the above quote in your essay.
\nNote: This should only discuss television NOT movies\/films or any other forms of
\nmedia.
\nYOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE \u201cI\u201d STATEMENTS!!!!
\nCHOICE 4: GAME ON
\nDo you agree or disagree that for people who spend time Gaming (particularly
\nonline), there are numerous benefits. In other words, you are choosing one of
\ntwo possible arguments: Gaming is not beneficial OR gaming has many
\nbenefits. Give three reasons to justify your side of the argument. Please
\nexplain your answer. Use ONE of the following articles found in the Popular
\nCulture Packet:
\nKyle Chayka\u2019s \u201cWhy Video Games Are a Work of Art\u201d (pp.67-68)
\nJohn Leland\u2019s \u201cThe Secret Life of Teens\u201d (pp.104-108)
\nLane Wallace\u2019s \u201cCan Video Games Teach Us How to Succeed in the Real World\u201d (pp.
\n69-71)
\nYOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE \u201cI\u201d STATEMENTS!!!!!
\nCHOICE 5: NET OF DISTRACTION
\nIn your Multimedia section of Blackboard there is a YouTube video called
\n\u201cWhat the Internet is doing to Our Brains\u201d. In this short film, it argues that the
\nInternet is putting us in a constant state of distraction and causes our minds to
\nlose our ability to stay focused on one single task (i.e. school, work, or
\nhobbies).
\nWrite an argument showing whether or not you agree or disagree with these
\nstatements. In other words, you\u2019re choosing one of two arguments: The
\nInternet is a terrible distraction OR the Internet is not a distraction, but a
\nwonderful tool for people to use. Use ONE of the following articles found in the
\nPopular Culture Packet:
\nNicholas Carr\u2019s \u201cIs Google Making Us Stupid?\u201d (pp. 14-20)
\nJohn Leland\u2019s \u201cThe Secret Life of Teens\u201d (pp. 104-108)
\nYOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE \u201cI\u201d STATEMENTS!!!!!
\nPlease Note: Texting and cell phones are not part of the Internet. The Internet is
\nwhat you can access through a website, such as what you can only view when
\nyou open up Internet services, such as Internet Explorer, Safari, Google Chrome,
\netc. If you discuss texting and cell phones in your essay, you will risk failing the
\nassignment. NO CYBERBULLYING ARGUMENTS ARE ALLOWED EITHER!
\nCHOICE 6: REALITY TELEVISION
\nKim Kardashian, NeNe Leakes, Lauren Conrad, Flavor Flav, JWOW, Snookie, and
\nRupaul are just some of the names that come to mind when you think of reality
\nstars. Reality television ranges from real life stories\/drama (a day in the life
\nstyle or documentaries), competition shows (both singing and others – i.e Big
\nBrother), legal (courtroom or prison shows), lifestyle (makeover\/renovation),
\ndestination\/travel, transformation\/self-improvement, social experiments (i.e
\nWife Swap, Breaking Amish etc), and so on. Some believe that reality shows
\nare great because they show people in their natural environment and most of
\nthese shows create role models to look up to. However, there\u2019s a good portion
\nof people who believe that reality shows do not create good role models and
\nthey are, in fact, setting a bad example for everyone in society.
\nDo you think that reality shows create positive role models, yes or no? In
\nother words, you\u2019re choosing one of two arguments: Reality television makes
\nfor great role models OR reality television is a bad role model. What are your
\nthree arguments to prove your side of the issue? Use ONE of the following
\narticles found in the Popular Culture Packet:
\nMark Greif\u2019s \u201cThe Reality of Reality Television\u201d (pp. 92-98)
\nGeorge Will\u2019s \u201cReality Television: Oxymoron\u201d (p. 91)
\nNote: This should ONLY discuss the shows themselves NOT the reality stars.
\nYOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE \u201cI\u201d STATEMENTS!!!!!
\nCHOICE 7: UNDER THE INFLUENCE
\nSocial media influencers are everywhere – Instagram, Facebook, YouTube,
\nReddit, Twitter, and so on. They are named \u201cInfluencer\u201d because they
\nsupposedly have the power to convince people to buy products or even have
\ncertain beliefs because of the image they present and the amount of followers
\nthey have. Lately, social media influencers have been under criticism for what
\nthey are posting. One is that people question the validity of the products they
\nare promoting or even the image of themselves they pose on social media.
\nPeople also question whether or not these influencers really use the products
\nthemselves. Also, there are many influencers who promote bullying, racism, or
\neven outright ignorance. One of the biggest problems they face is criticism
\nfrom people about their desire to bribe companies with a social media
\nfollowing in exchange for free goods and services. While these are just a few of
\nthe issues they face, there is so much more behind this issue.
\nThe question is: Do you think that social media influencers should be entitled
\nto anything, including free goods and services, just because they have a
\nfollowing? In other words, you\u2019re choosing one of two arguments: Social
\nmedia influencers should be entitled to many things OR social media
\ninfluencers are not entitled to anything. Give three reasons why to support
\nyour argument. Please use one of the following articles to support your essay:

\nCOMMON ESSAY ERRORS HANDOUT
\nIntroduction:
\n\u25cf Your thesis statement must tell your reader exactly what you will prove.
\n\u25cf Your introduction should start with a broad sentence, then work your way into your thesis (and
\nNOT include the names of the articles or stories you are using); the ideas you put in your
\nintroduction, should be reflected in the topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service) sentences you create for each paragraph!
\nINTRODUCTION FORMATTING:
\n\u25cb Broad Topic Sentence
\n\u25cb Follow up sentence
\n\u25cb Thesis Statement
\n\u25cb Specific Closing Sentence
\nBody Paragraphs:
\n\u25cf ORGANIZATION – EACH PARAGRAPH SHOULD CONTAIN A TOPIC SENTENCE THAT
\nDESCRIBES ONE IDEA THAT YOU WILL BE DISCUSSING IN THAT PARAGRAPH. THEN YOU
\nCAN DISCUSS THAT IDEA, PROVIDING EVIDENCE, QUOTING, CITING. AND CREATE A
\nREFLECTIVE SENTENCE. AT THE END OF THE PARAGRAPH YOU MUST HAVE A
\nCLOSING STATEMENT THAT SHOWS YOUR READER YOU HAVE DISCUSSED WHAT YOU
\nSAID YOU WOULD IN THE TOPIC SENTENCE!
\n\u25cf NEVER quote at the beginning of a paragraph or at the end of a paragraph
\n\u25cf NEVER quote at the beginning of a sentence or at the end of a sentence.

\n\u25cf NEVER quote in your conclusion.
\n\u25cf You should begin with a specific sentence, then work your way backwards from the thesis you
\npresented in the introduction, and end with a concluding statement that is more broad.
\nCONCLUSION FORMATTING:
\n\u25cb Specific Topic Sentence
\n\u25cb Restate all the arguments you made in Body 1 in one sentence
\n\u25cb Restate all the arguments you made in Body 2 in one sentence.
\n\u25cb Restate all the arguments you made in Body 3 in one sentence.
\n\u25cb Broad Closing Sentence
\nQuoting and Citing:
\n\u25cf The first time you use a NEW source you must set it up properly (TAG – title author genre! – not
\nnecessarily in that order). YOU MUST TRANSITION INTO YOUR QUOTE EVERYTIME YOU’RE
\nABOUT TO – otherwise all your professor\u2019s neighbors hear is her screaming “BAM, There’s a
\nrandom quote!” (Not kidding) Hint: see your MLA materials.
\n\u25cf After you quote and cite, you must include a reflective sentence that shows why that quote is
\nimportant to your thesis. (TAG, Bag, and seal it up!)
\n\u25cf Once you set up a source, do not set it up again \u2013 after that just use the author\u2019s last name, for
\ninstance, the work being discussed would only be set up in the introduction. After that, you would
\nrefer to the author\u2019s last name or the character being discussed.
\n\u25cf All citations must include the author’s last name and the page number (Smith 54), unless it is a
\nplay, which uses Act.scene.line (II.iii.246-247).
\n\u25cf Periods go outside the citation; if you have a ! or ? in your quote you still need it.
\n\u25cf If you have FOUR lines or more you have to set up special formatting for it because it is a long or
\nblock quote \u2013 see your MLA materials for more info. Remember it will be two indentations in and
\nset off from the rest of the body of your essay.
\n\u25cf If you have transitioned properly into your quote, then your first letter of the quote itself will be
\nlower case (unless it\u2019s a proper noun)
\n\u25cf Quotes and citations are part of your regular writing flow unless they are blocked off for a long
\nquote.
\n\u25cf Be careful of quotes within quotes (i.e. an author has used another source) \u2013 this is what is called
\nan indirect source and the set up for this can be found in your MLA book.
\nMechanics:
\n\u25cf Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization count!
\n\u25cf No rhetorical questions. Why? Because your professor said so.
\n\u25cf You should not use exclamation marks unless they are part of a quote, otherwise, your professor
\nwill scream \u201cSTOP YELLING AT ME!\u201d
\n\u25cf Do not use sequential orders (i.e. number markers). First off, they\u2019re annoying, second, they go
\nagainst what MLA says and thirdly, because your professor said so.
\nMLA Formatting:
\n\u25cf Catchy titles are needed (\u201cMy Life\u201d or \u201cAbortion is Bad\u201d is not catchy!)
\n\u25cf Titles are not underlined.
\n\u25cf Proper heading is needed (see syllabus) \u2013 the date must be written out
\n\u25cf Page numbers must go on every page number after the first and includes your last name and the
\npage number (i.e. Miller 2)
\n\u25cf No extra spacing between paragraphs \u2013 your essay should be single spaced and fill up the blue
\nbooklet front to back
\n\u25cf Author\u2019s name \u2013 you don\u2019t know them and should only refer to their first and last name together
\nthe first time you set up a source \u2013 after that just use their last name.
\n\u25cf Articles, poems and stories go in quotation marks; books, novellas, databases, entire journals are
\nin italics \u2013 see your MLA book.
\n\u25cf No \u201cI\u201d statements (I, me, my, etc.) !!!!!! (Unless you are told you can \u2013 i.e. Essay 1) You will lose 5
\npoints for each one you have that shouldn\u2019t be there.
\n\u25cf No \u201cWe\u201d or \u201cYou\u201d should be used \u2013 who are these people? Say \u201cOne\u201d (I.e. one can conclude,
\none may think that)
\n\u25cf Each paragraph is one indentation in.
\n\u25cf Be careful of identify the author vs. the narrator vs. a character
\n\u25cf It\u2019s a good idea to be familiar with your MLA materials before you take the test, this way it\u2019s easier
\nto find things.
\nWorks Cited:
\n\u25cf Typed ones must be in 12 point Times New Roman Font
\n\u25cf ABC order
\n\u25cf Must be in proper MLA formatting
\n\u25cf Your title, Works Cited, must be centered and in plain text (not italicized or in bold or underlined)
\n\u25cf It\u2019s not a Work Cited or a Bibliography \u2013 Works Cited
\n\u25cf You are better off preparing one ahead of time
\n\u25cf If you do not have a Works Cited at the end you will lose more than just the 5 points; you also get
\na reduction for formatting.
\n\u25cf You must put on the sources you actually use in your essay on the Works Cited page, otherwise it
\nis considered plagiarism.
\n\u25cf DO NOT USE the database version of the MLA citation for a source \u2013 check it carefully and never
\nuse the URL.
\n\u25cf Your Works Cited must be a separate page (i.e. if your essay ends on page 6, your Works Cited
\nwill be on page 7)
\nRevisions:
\n\u25cf Revisions must be typed, in 12 point Times New Roman font, and double \u2013spaced from the title
\ndown. Please refer to your MLA materials for more information.
\n\u25cf All original materials (essay, grade rubric, articles, etc.) must be included otherwise it will not be
\ngraded.
\n\u25cf Are only accepted on the day they are due, no later.
\n\u25cf Will replace your original grade completely, and an additional point will be added for extra credit.
\n\u25cf If you plagiarized on your essay and got a ZERO, you are not allowed to do a revision.
\nIF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE REFER TO YOUR WRITING OR MLA MATERIALS.
\nIF YOU CAN\u2019T FIND YOUR ANSWERS THERE, ASK YOUR PROFESSOR!
