Assignment 4: "Pro / Con"

For the final assignment I'd like you to write a 1,000 - 1,500 word pro/con essay in which you analyze the various arguments for and against a particular proposition of your choice. It may be something like the topic we covered in class [i.e. genetic testing], it may be something related to world politics [e.g. the war in Iraq, Korean unification]. It may be something spiritual e.g. the existence of god, the evil of eating meat] or something related to your everyday lives [e.g. the teaching of courses in English at advanced institutions of learning in Korea]. I'll need references, bibliographies the whole cabooddle.

Remember, try to be original and don't just take your ideas [or whole essay!!] from somewhere else. You'll only be cheating yourself [I'm not sure this argument actually every works but I thought I'd throw it in as an example of a cliched statement, in reality, if you cheat, you'll go to hell... ha, ha, ha...where you'll have to watch "Titanic" for eternity and listen to Celine Dion and Michael Bolton duets on the radio].
