Our final essay in this course is an advocacy essay focused on a problem you identify in your future career field (or, if you are still unsure what that might be, any field you find interesting or think you might one day enter!). Yes, this is very vague, but it is necessarily so—in this essay, you will take ownership of your own topic, identifying a problem you think needs to be fixed and proposing a specific way of solving that problem.
It will be up to you to choose your own focus for this essay, but you must pick something that has controversy attached to it–this is so that you can map the controversy and craft your own argument. The problem you are identifying needs to have created some discussion in the field (this will help you do your research—discussion/controversy means lots of sources!).
