On the issue of gendered language, you are required to write a position paper in term of where you stand and why, by taking one side of the argument and persuading your audience that you have well-founded knowledge of the topic being presented. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to. To achieve this goal, you should 1) ensure the validity of your claim based on accurate analysis and evaluation of sources, and precise evidence and 2) acknowledge a contrary position by anticipating doubts and objections and constructing effective refutations. (Any paper that does not carry out the requirements will not be considered as passing this assignment.)
