• Construct an argument for a position on the topic. This is the position that you will defend in your Final Paper. Make your argument as high quality as possible: In particular, make sure that all of your premises are true, and that the truth of the conclusion is demonstrated by your premises.
• Consider possible objections to your argument, and revise it several times until you have an argument that is as strong as possible.
• Search in the Ashford University Library for quality academic sources that support some aspect of your argument.
• Constructing quality arguments is harder than it sounds; you may find that your first few attempts have problems and that it takes quite a bit of time and effort to revise an argument to a point that the premises adequately support the conclusion. You will be revising this argument for each of the remaining assignments in this course.
• Write: In your paper,
• Present a main argument in standard form with each premise and the conclusion on a separate line. Here is an example of what it means for an argument to be presented in standard form

All men are mortal.
Socrates is a man.
Therefore, Socrates is mortal.

• Provide support for each premise of your argument. Explain the meaning of the premise, and provide supporting evidence for the premise. [One paragraph for each premise]
• Pay special attention to those premises that could be seen as controversial. Evidence may include academic research sources, supporting arguments, or other ways of demonstrating the truth of the premise. This section should include at least one scholarly research source.
• Explain how your conclusion follows from your premises.
