Far-fetched or oversimplified solutions are of no use in this essay. You should discuss at least three alternative solutions, and each should be plausible (believable) and feasible (workable).
Once the problem has been identified, you will turn to a discussion of possible solutions to the problem. So before discussing solutions, you may have to argue that the problem is both real and worthy of our attention. Some readers, for example, may not believe that technology is expanding very rapidly or, if they do, maybe they don't consider it a problem. In this part of the essay, it may also be necessary to establish the problem, to argue that it really exists and that it's really a problem. For example, if starvation is the problem, you may want to focus on famine in developing countries, on hunger in the U.S., or perhaps even more narrowly, on malnourishment among U.S. This will require describing, defining and/or limiting the problem for background support. Early in your essay, you will need to identify the problem under consideration. If you want, your topic can be related to any of your other topics, but it does not necessarily have to be the exact same topic you wrote about. There are many possible topics for this essay, and you will have considerable freedom in selecting your own topic however, there are some topics you MAY NOT write about: euthanasia, abortion, capital punishment, gun control, parking, legalization of pot or other illegal drugs, steroids, and changing of the voting age.
It involves identifying a problem, discussing several possible solutions to it, and arguing that one solution is better than others. The purpose of the “Proposing a Solution” essay is to persuade, but it is a special kind of argumentative essay. For the purposes of further defining which type of essay you will write, I will be referring to your Argumentative Essay as the "Proposing a Solution Essay." I want you to have a strong argument essay for this course, and I think the extra reading (which I promise will be short) will be worth it. What I am going to do, however, is add information here at our LibGuide for you to read as part of your assigned readings as well. But I also want to stress that you do need to read all assigned pages in the book as well as the online module despite my feelings towards this assignment. I will admit I am not fond of the direction or lack thereof that you are given for writing this essay in this module. Any time you try to persuade someone, you are doing argumentative writing - and you've been doing that here for a while. But be warned, it is actually one of many argumentative-style essays you have written. Within the LearningStudio Module, it is called the Argumentative Essay. You will begin the rough draft of your last essay this week.
