Write a 500 word ( /- 10%), 5 paragraph essay on the question below. Marks will be deducted for too many or too few words, for the wrong number of paragraphs, or for incorrectly structured paragraphs. Marks will also be deducted for poor spelling and grammar. Your essay will be assessed on how well you develop and reason through an argument, and structure your essay, sentences, introduction, content paragraphs, and conclusion. Your essay must answer the question, assert a thesis, and present a well-reasoned argument. To do so you will need to undertake some basic research. At minimum you should read newspaper articles and watch or listen to news programmes. Please keep in mind, though, that this is not a research project. Your essay will be assessed on the quality of your argument, not your ability to pack data into your essay. You must reference any sources fully and accurately. You are advised to revise and proofread your essays frequently and closely.
