write a long research paper.
Title: Making a Position Statement
One of the first steps in writing a long research paper is taking a stand on an issue or problem.
In a purely informative paper, you will want to present both sides of an issue equally.
In a persuasive paper, however, you need to choose one side of an issue or problem and persuade the reader that your position is the best one.
Issue/Topic:
Obesity-genetic, environmental, emotional, or totally avoidable?
Side choosen: It's preventable
In this four-paragraph paper of about 700 to 900 words you must include the following:
1. An APA formatted title page
2. A one-paragraph introduction that gives some context or background about the issue. First paragraph- introduction-should consist of your thesis, where you state your position as well as mention the three reasons that you have this viewpoint
3. Your reasons in at least one paragraph-for a total of three paragraphs here. You do not need to use sources for this
paper; and your support should be based on your own reasoning, not sources
4. A conclusion
