ESSAY I:
"SHALLOW-WEB” RESEARCH-BASED EXPOSITORY ESSAY
Students will compose an exploratory argument in MLA Style on a topic of their choosing from Room
for Debate (3-4 pages). Many important issues today call for arguments to explore them. For this
assignment, you will explore an ongoing issue of your choice from Room for Debate, summarize the
array of viewpoints on the topic, and synthesize these viewpoints as a means of “mapping” a field of perspectives.
There may be clearly defined opposing viewpoints, but there will more likely be a variety of different
opinions on the topic. If there’s an “opponent” in such a situation at all (often there is not), it’s likely
the status quo or a current trend that, for one reason or another, is puzzling. The essential argument
in this type of piece is the writer’s assertion that a problem or an issue exists—and that the reader needs to understand it and respond to it constructively if possible.
This will require you to thoroughly explore the debate, determine the primary point(s) of contention,
and present a comparative analysis of the various viewpoints in 3-4 pages. In order to back up your
claims effectively, be sure to summarize/paraphrase and quote sources from Room for Debate
according to MLA guidelines for citing sources in the text (in-text citation) and formatting the list of
Works Cited.

My Draft
The Problems Faced by the Black Americans in USA
http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2016/01/28/racial-reparations-and-the- limits-of-
economic-policy
The topic I have chosen for the debate is ‘The Problems Faced by the Black Americans in
USA’ and I hold many reasons to choose this as my topic but the focus of today’s debate will focus
on to the criticism of Bernie Sanders on the payment of reparation money to the Black Americans.
To be on the clear side, this reparation money is paid to the Black American people as a
compensation of the aggressive policies of the US Government against them for centuries.
Now, there are three debaters who have put forward their point of views and all of them
stand firm on what they have written. What I have done is that I have organized the three articles,
put each of their point of views in consideration and concluded a thesis statement. Just as Carlton
believes that getting a good policy on education might be considered a lot better then to debate
about rectifying past wrongs, Valerie states the fact about the fall of Black people’s unemployme nt
ratio and that she seeks solutions other than reparation. And also, Kay states that the feelings of
Black’s have seriously been hurt because of all such debates and she also believes that the class is
the new determinant of well-being not the color of skin.
The key factors that I believe should be considered include that there should necessarily
be done something about these racial debates and there are many other areas that can be brought
into focus in order to make this society a better place to live in rather than focusing on reparation
money being paid to black people. Lastly, education is also a sector that can better improved to
help the Black American live a better life without any fear of a racial discrimination at some
point; educating people might well help in achieving that.
