For this paper, you will take a position on an issue addressed in your topic cluster and write an argument that synthesizes the articles in that cluster. (Synthesis simply means you make connections between multiple sources in order to make a new argument.) Your audience will be readers of a UTA student publication that offers analysis and commentary about politics, news, and culture. Use your knowledge of UTA students: they are educated, generally fair-minded, politically diverse, and less knowledgeable than you about the issue addressed in your topic cluster.
