Assignment Summary:

Read a bit in the links provided, then decide which of the two areas you will address.
Go back into the chosen subject and find out the features of a position you might take.
Make a list.
You only have 1400 words, so the more specific about your position, the easier it will be to keep the piece down to 1400 words.
Eliminate weak or uninteresting premises
If you use sources, cite them MLA style.
In short: decide your position, state it clearly, list your premises, explore any objections, develop counters, and then pound out the argument. There is no wrong position—only weakly supported ones.
