Question

Answer 1

First of all, calm down, breathe, and relax. You have three weeks. You can do this and make a good grade, I promise.

Your paper is supposed to be persuasive, so that means that you need to find a topic that has pros and cons. And then you have to take a side, for or against. Think about this one, because you want your topic to be something you care about. If you care, you'll write a deeper, more impassioned paper, and earn a better grade.

A word about topics: I'd steer clear of abortion, because it's personal. What works for one person doesn't work for another, and there's no changing people's minds about deeply personal matters. Likewise, I wouldn't recommend religion either. Death and taxes are good, though. Is burial better than cremation? Should there be a flat tax or not?

The next step is your actual research. Make sure that your topic isn't too broad (The Punic Wars) or too narrow (the use of the short sword in hand-to-hand fighting during the Punic Wars). This means you're going to have to go to the library and read lots of books, and look online, and go through the archive stacks. Expect to spend about one hour researching for every page you write.

When writing a good research paper, it's important to think like a lawyer. That is, you need to pretend as if you're presenting your paper as if it were a court case. Your teacher is the judge, and the prosecution is out to disprove your case. A really good persuasive paper takes into account all the "Yeah, but what about...?" questions. If you can answer, logically, precisely and clearly, any questions that someone arguing the opposite point can bring up, you will prove your case, and make your argument airtight. (I use argument here in the classic sense of presenting a thesis for consideration.)

Your conclusion should not simply restate your introduction, but rather go beyond the introduction. You should think critically and give valid, on-point reasons why your idea is better, more practical, more valid, and overall how it benefits people more.

If you can do this, you will have written an "A" persuasive paper. Please feel free to contact me if you need anymore help.

Answer 2

When choosing your research persuasive paper, try to find one that has an impact on your life as well as the lives of others.For example, you may write an essay about the issue of year-round school.Such an issue would be a good choice for an essay because it creates strong feelings in you as well as many other people but if you have trouble finding an issue for your essay, try reading the opinion section of your local newspaper or watching the national news.

Answer 3

I just finished submitting a persuasive paper in my COM120 class for University of Phoenix online course. I did my persuasive paper on HIPAA which stands for Health Information Probability and Accountability Act. It is pretty much the same as the "Notice of Privacy Act". This is like the information that we get in the mail from our credit card or auto loan companies. There is a lot of information that you can obtain on this subject, you just need to search on the internet and you will be surprised how much there is out there.

Answer 4

It's a persuasive paper, so you're going to have to write an argument. I would suggest doing something that you went over in class. Start out your paper with, "I think that...." and choose something from there. As far as specific ideas go, I would say that you could make an argument like, "I think that people should not be allowed to smoke in restaurants", or "I think the drinking age should be lowered."

Answer 5

Specific answers: Read "Healing" by Francis MacNutt (edition 2000 or later) If spiritual treatment has been medically documented in cases of healing both physical and mental illness, is it a legal obligation of the state to allow or require access to spiritual treatment for those who are criminally ill or physically dying of conditions that can be treated or cured.

If Buddha prophesied the coming of Jesus, doesn't that make him a true prophet so that Buddhism is also a true religion in harmony and not opposition to Christianity? If so, why don't more Christians accept Buddhism instead of rejecting it as false religion? Isn't that bearing false witness against one's neighbor?

If there is equal protection of religious freedom, and the state cannot impose a religious bias, then how can any issues of religious freedom or separation of church and state be decided by the government? Wouldn't individuals have to make their own decisions instead of petitioning the state to intervene? How can the government take sides on any such issue without violating Amendment One?

General answer:

Pick any issue that mixes religion and politics, since there are valid opinions and points on both sides. Then write three reasons for one side, and three reasons for the opposing side. You can either pick one side, whichever is most interesting, or include both arguments for or against. Then conclude with something that addresses both.

If you like politics, you can pick a local issue like a school or city ordinance, or a global issue such as church/state separation, death penalty, abortion, same-sex marriage, immigration, etc.

If you are interested in religion or spirituality, you can write an essay giving three concepts from Buddhist, Christian or other teaching that makes them good or bad or better to follow.

Every system has strengths and weaknesses, so you can show both sides.

If you like popular topics, can you write about music or entertainment or the internet. For example, if open communication is good or bad or problems with it that you think need to be solved.

You cannot possibly agree with anything I have written above.
I bet you cannot read through all these links without coming up with what you want to write about.

Answer 6

Write about the fact that when people have something important to do, their mind goes blank. Explain why, and when. I would think stress is the main reason why.
