My topic that I plan to research and discuss is the controversial issue of abortion. I plan to discuss the multiple points of views and possible solutions that hopefully meet the needs of at least of few points of views noted through my research. My potential audience is almost the entire general population, especially those who have religious backgrounds, because they tend to have much more radical, unwavering sides on this specific topic. The solution will have to meet both the individual rights and free will of a possible mother, also the religious view of the dignity of every human person. I will also try to address what different views are on concerning what defines a "human person". Basically, the solution must be a compromise because of how strongly each side feels on there view. The two general views are that first, any women should have the choice of going through with the pregnancy or not because it is her body. The other strong view is that every human has dignity no matter what stage of life, or even the other argument any human who has "possible" life has the full human dignity as a living breathing person.

this should be a very compelling paper to write simply put for its complexity. I definitely think that somewhere in the beginning of your paper for the sake of comprehension to the audience, the definition of a "Human Person" as you put it should be stated after being talked about first. If this comes later in the paper you could loose the audience before or confuse them. Best of luck with your paper and again just explicitly state arguments BEFORE explaining them.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a really big issue that is affecting all of society especially since it is a big target argument for politicians. I feel this is a problem because they bring religion into politics which leads to biased decisions. This is a very large argument that you are taking on and I wish you luck because many have tried and failed. One thing I would suggest is that you should focus on a few points so that you don't talk too broad and not get detailed enough on certain portions. I think the more you focus on certain points the less chance you will have of confusing your audience or contradicting yourself.
ReplyDeleteAbortion is a very touchy topic for many individuals to discuss. Many people think that this topic is a merely black and white subject but there are many shades of gray in between. For this reason it is good that you are going to explore many of the possible solutions and viewpoints to this problem. The main group in this topic like in many topics is the religious groups. They have many kinds of people that disagree with their views and so you are right about saying that your audience will be big. It is also good that you said there are different reasons that people are for or against it. For example, you touched on the human dignity part.
