What is position paper?
It is like a debate, a position paper presents one side of an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and defensible. Ideas that you are considering need to be carefully examined in choosing a topic, developing your argument, and organizing your paper. It is very important to ensure that you are addressing all sides of the issue and presenting it in a manner that is easy for your audience to understand.
In the class, we've been discussing the issue of arranged marriage. Most of us agree on love marriage (I am one of them). This topics makes us to think about the advantages and disadvantages of arranged marriage. Is it still practical in this era ? This are the question we must answer and as practice to argue in order to write our own position paper.

ReplyDeletethanks for explaining what position paper is. i now understand what a position paper should be. and the arranged marriage vs love marriage is a good example of a position paper. however, i am having problem with my position paper as up until now, i still do not have any ideas and any specific topic! how about you? do you already have your topic? :)
position paper is definitely not an easy thing to write. We need to have lots of ideas and a lot to talk about. We also have to use the right words and sentences in order to persuade the readers.
