Assignment:

Description

This assignment should help you draw together many of the skills and much of the knowledge you have gained thus far from the course. Your assignment is to design both sides of an argument that could be used as the basis for a persuasive essay. Building on the policy issue you researched in Assignment 1, you are to come up with opposite conclusions and show how you would go about supporting these opposites.

Remember that you may not choose Universal Basic Income as a policy issue for this assignment.

Tasks

Issue: Articulate a current Canadian policy issue in your own words. It must be expressed as a question in a single, grammatically correct sentence. The issue must be relevant to the society as a whole and the public decision-making process. Format example:

"Should Canada dissolve as a federation and the provinces become new States in the USA?" (note this is not a proper example of the type of content that is suitable as this is not an issue that is currently being debated in reputable national media sources)

Conclusions: State two conclusions as single, grammatically correct sentences-- one for each side of the issues. Do not include reasons or qualifications that are not in the issue statement. Here is an example to illustrate format:

"Yes, Canada should dissolve as a federation and the provinces become new States in the USA."

"No, Canada should not dissolve as a federation and the provinces become new States in the USA."

Premise 1: In your own words, give a clear, objective, and grammatically correct sentence that is a valid reason for the positive conclusion.

Find a single-sentence quote that gives direct support for the positive conclusion and is based on objective reasoning. Then, using APA format, cite the source. Here is an example to illustrate format:

"Evidence overwhelmingly suggests that the majority of Canadians would refuse to pay US taxes, creating insurmountable political instability". (Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of Online Periodical, volume number(issue number if available).

Premise 2: In your own words, give a clear, objective, and grammatically correct sentence that is a supportive reason for the negative conclusion.

Find a single-sentence quote that gives direct support for the negative conclusion and is based on objective reasoning. Then, using APA format, cite the source. Here is an example to illustrate format:

"Canadian Business overwhelmingly supports dissolution, according to a national survey". (Author, A. A. (Year, Month Day). Title of article. Title of Newspaper.
