For Assignment 3, I’d like to you write an essay of approximately 1,000-1,200 words in which you try to persuade your reader [e.g. me] to accept your position on a particular issue or debate.
This can be issue related to global, regional, national or local concerns.
Among the types of issues you could cover include:
- The choice to make KAIST become an ‘English’ only campus.
- The proposal to do away with special purpose high schools in Korea.
- The demand for people to use degendered language.
- The efficacy of doing experiments on animals for the improvement of products like cosmetics
Due Date: 16 December 2007
Please note: Do not feel you have to pick an issue which I will agree with [and by now you should know my opinions on most issues]. Arguments against my own positions [e.g. that eating Nemo and his cute friends is OK are more than welcome].
