This essay focuses on persuading your audience why a specific course of action should be taken on a significant issue in the world.
Topic: Oversaturated Cartoons acting as a stimulant in Kids.
*My reason for the topic comes from seeing children get addicted to the screen, specificially things with lots of oversaturated colors and catchy songs. Shows like Cocomelon and Spongebob have quickly taken the attention of many children. I have seen studies showing the negative effects these shows have in kids like delays in speech and other milestones. I believe there is a huge problem here, considering that children are our future.
*My plan is to encourage parents to stop broadcasting oversturated cartoons to prevent any future problems like delay in speech, anxiety, or even common sense.
*Please come up with an alternate plan, if possible.
Essay Guidelines:
Thesis: Your thesis needs to be stated as a claim of policy: It should be pretty clear in the introduction that you’re advocating for a specific solution
Problem Description: Indicate the issue and problems linked to it, in explicit detail (i.e. define the status quo and harms surrounding the issue)
Personal Impact: Indicate your personal stake in or connection to the issue (how is this, or has this affected you or people close to you?)
Audience Impact: Make a case for why your peers should care about this topic: How it affects them, someone close to them, or some aspect of society they should care about
Solution Description: Present your solution (or solutions) to the problem. This should include your mandate (what will happen); agency (parties that will carry out the solution); cost (resources needed) and oversight (who makes sure your solution works?)
Solution Analysis: Describe how your solution (or set of solutions) is feasible (how realistic is it to accomplish; what are the limitations). In addition, the distinct advantages and disadvantages should be included: Remember — no solution is perfect.
In addition to the above, it is required all claims you make are supported with documented, valid evidence (a minimum of 8 sources is required — more is better). You must indicate if these sources are a strong or weak argument using warrants, reasoning, or any other figurative language. (metaphor, simile, etc.)
