TOULMIN ESSAY ON CHILD NEGLECT

PREPARE A TOULMIN ESSAY ON CHILD NEGLECT. The Toulmin method is an informal method of reasoning. Created by the British philosopher Stephen Toulmin it involves the grounds (data), claim, and warrant of an argument. These three parts of the argument are all necessary to support a good argument. The grounds are the evidence used to prove something.

This essay must include a minimum of five sources.  Three should be peer-reviewed sources, preferably from the APUS databases.  I HAVE INCLUDED THE 3 PEER REVIEWED SOURCES AS ATTACHMENTS AND HERE ARE THEIR WORK CITED:
