Compose a position paper representing the con side of your new topic. (See the Con-Paper Template). The paper should include approximately 6 developed paragraphs:

Introduction (with thesis statement)

Context paragraph

3 body paragraphs (focusing on 3 cons)

Conclusion

Apply a formal tone appropriate for academic audiences, maintaining an objective 3rd person point of view - no 1st person (I, me, my, we, our, us, mine) or 2nd person (you, your). Avoid contractions, clichés, and slang terminology.

Use the provided template to assist in formatting the title page and document.

Incorporate at least 3 scholarly sources into the paper. Cite all sources in APA format, both parenthetically and on a reference page.

Before submission, proofread and edit carefully for spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Not every error will be flagged automatically in word-processing programs, and some that are flagged as errors are actually correct.
