write a thesis driven essay that argues for or against a specific policy. Make sure to establish a clear problem and provide a clear policy as resolution to that problem. (I picked the MeToo movement)
We have examined how attitudes and beliefs are changing behavior both toward and within the US government and its institutions. Many argue that certain conditions must, should or ought to exist. Others argue certain conditions must not, should not, or ought not exist. For your second formal essay, choose an approved topic (#Metoo Movement) and write a thesis driven essay that argues for or against a specific policy. Make sure to establish a clear problem and provide a clear policy as resolution to that problem. Take great care to appeal to the needs and values of your audience (moderate or reasonable OC residents). Make sure to also include credible evidence and expert opinion. Respond and/or concede to points made by the opposition to strengthen the character and validity of your argument. Remember, policy claims call for analysis of both fact and value. Your thesis should include expressions such as: should, must, ought to, should not, must not, or ought not.
