Are you more inclined towards Rationalism or Empiricism? Defend your position to the best of your ability using what you have learned about arguments. In your essay, you are expected to summarize the theory or point of view mentioned before moving on to analysis or evaluation of it. You are also expected to integrate the course learning materials you studied. If you find that you entirely agree with one author or position presented in the course materials, that’s fine. You are expected only to work out the view you hold now, rather than come up with original views that no one has ever expressed before. However, in working out your views, you will be expected to present a clear statement of your position and defend your position with thoughtful analysis. To persuade the reader that your view is correct, you will have to argue for it by supporting your point of view with cogent arguments. This entails some reflection on your part on why you hold the beliefs you do, and whether or not your reasons for holding them are strong and convincing. Facts, examples, expert opinions, relevant personal experiences, and observations can all be used as evidence to support your arguments. Finally, in your concluding paragraph you should re-state your position clearly and provide a summary of the supporting arguments that you have presented in the body of your essay.
