Psychopathology and Criminality Individual Project 1

A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to. 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.

· Your job is to take one side of the argument and persuade your audience that you have well-founded knowledge of the topic being presented.

· It is important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims, as well as

· to address the counterclaims  to show that you are well informed about both sides.
