Introduction
In the process of writing an essay, you have probably written an outline to organize your thoughts. For this assignment, you will write a detailed outline of an argument. You will show the logical organization of the argument by labeling a conclusion, premises and their detailed support. The topic will be a position on a contemporary ethical issue.
Assignment
Write a brief outline the argument identifying premise statements with a (P), support for premise statements with a (S) and the conclusion with a (C). The outline should be 1 - 2 pages.
From the adjacent list, choose a topic and take a position on one of the ethical issues below. Next, use the library databases to find support for your position (guide above). Think of these positions as arguments. Each argument has premises and a conclusion. The position on the issue will be the conclusion and the reasons for that position will be the premises. Each outline will have only one conclusion.
All statements must be written as complete sentences with a subject and a verb. Look at the example below and follow its structure.
