First Essay: Encountering and Countering

Consider the essays linked below. Read each of them and try to understand clearly the argument they are making.

Choose one of them and write an essay in which you argue against the case that's being made in the original. You must support your position with research, but more importantly, your essay must provide your own analysis and must engage the specific arguments of the original author and paper. This means paying close attention to the specific arguments, quoting the original accurately and frequently, that are present. 

Do not simply write an essay on the same topic (eg if the essay were about reforming medical school admissions in Canada, you would not just write a general essay about medical school admissions in Canada). 

Do not write an essay that supports the position of the original author's position. You must counter-argue.

Do not dismiss the author's view as mere opinion or the product of bias. Really engage thoughtfully.

Bear in mind that these essays have been chosen to be accessible. Such essays have limitations on their length and complexity. Thus, while you could legitimately argue that an essay is, say, misleading in its use of evidence, do not simply critique the essay for not providing more sources or not going on at greater length. Really try to grapple with the arguments as they are presented.

Here are the essays you can use:

"Eight Billion People in the World Is a Crisis, Not an Opportunity" by Naomi Oreskes

Why Environmentalists Pose a Bigger Obstacle to Effective Climate Policy than Denialists by Maarten Boudry

"Why People Oppose GMOs Even Though they are Safe," by Stefaan Blancke

"Why it's Impossible to Actually Be a Vegetarian," by Andrew Smith 

Your paper must be original and must be properly cited in Chicago style footnotes with no bibliography or list of references.

Your footnotes must be created using the footnote function in Word. Do not simply type text into the footer of the page, for example. 

 All citations must have page or paragraph numbers and a working URL or DOI so that the use of the source can be verified.

Essays should be double spaced with at least 1-inch margins. Use a sans-serif font such as Calibri, not a serif font like Times New Roman. New paragraphs should be indicated with an indent, not a space. Essays should list your name, the course code and section, and the date at the top left of the first page. Essays should have a title centred over the main text, but not a separate title page. Remember to use footnotes, not endnotes, and not any manner of parenthetical citation style (such as MLA or APA).

Submit the paper as a Word (.doc or .docx) file, not as any other format such as PDF, Works etc

Required length: 1000 words, not including footnotes or front matter.

Criteria for Recognition

[Feedback for this paper will include an indication as to whether each criterion is met in a PDF feedback file. Review that feedback carefully.] 

Is within 10% of the assigned length, not including footnotes and front matter, and without excessive quotation.

Is formatted according to course guidelines (font, inclusion of course info, margins etc).

Has an original title (eg not “English essay” or “Assignment One” or just the name of the article, or the like).

Has an introduction that sets out a relevant thesis—your position or intended argument (in this case what you will argue about the essay you've chosen), not simply a description of what is going to be considered. 

Has a series of body paragraphs that present relevant arguments and includes properly cited, detailed evidence (including quotations from the essay you're countering and secondary sources as needed) in each body paragraph. Notice that citations of secondary sources must be clear: it must be evident what you've taken from each source you cite. 

Has a conclusion that does NOT say "In conclusion" or "In summary" or the like. 

Has a reasonably limited number of typos and errors of grammar and style.

Avoids grammatical first person ("I would think that...") and second person ("you can see how...")

Uses a moderate, objective tone. 

Uses footnotes for citations without a bibliography and uses them correctly according to Chicago Style and course guidelines.
