For this essay, you should take a position on one of the above topics and use your sources to support your position. If you disagree with a source, then you might spend some time quoting that source and explain why you think that source’s author is incorrect.
When you agree with a source, quote that author’s best points, and then try to add additional supporting points of your own. You may find that you agree with some parts of a source argument, but you disagree with other parts. That is fine. You are free to invent a new standpoint on an issue as long as it is logical and realistic.
