Taking a stand does not mean saying that you are simply “for” or “against” something (pro/con). You need to be more specific and precise in your argument. There is no single “right” answer; you want to make sure to take a stand and clearly and logically support your ideas while avoiding assumptions.

There is a slight research aspect for this assignment. You need to include 2-3 reputable academic sources (no more, no less) to help you support your ideas. We will discuss how to find and assess such sources in class. Remember, this is not a research paper or report—the focus is not on collecting and providing information—rather, the focus is on your argument and how you support it.
