English Language and Politics Assignment

Choose one of the three readings from the textbook chapter titled Theme: Language and Politics.

Read the text, then write a five-paragraph argumentative essay. Be reminded that this is an

argumentative essay, which means that in addition to your arguments, you also need to present the

counterarguments. When presenting the counterarguments, provide examples of logical fallacies

commonly used; explain the type of logical fallacy. Do not forget to add the rebuttal after the

counterargument. Do not quote; instead, paraphrase.

You need to type the essay in a Word document and follow APA style.

Write a five-paragraph argumentative essay based on one of the three topics provided below.

Pay attention when developing your arguments and counterarguments.

Please note that each topic comes with an article that you need to read beforehand. Somewhere

in your essay, you need to cite the accompanying article at least once; if you wish, you can also

cite other articles, but this one is a must. The article assigned to the topic should not be analyzed as

a primary source but should only serve as supporting evidence either for one of your arguments or

counterarguments. The accompanying articles are attached to this assignment, and they also

provide a direct link for the article itself. Please do not quote; instead, you should paraphrase.
