 Assignment objective: Students will create a paper involving the development and analysis of an argument that seeks to solve a real-world problem.

Length: Your submission should be at least two pages in length, not counting the title page and references (if used).

References: No outside sources are required for the assignment.

Details: This assignment has two parts. Both parts will be completed in the same attached Unit VII Homework Template.

Part 1: Choose one of the three topics from the table below. Write an argument with a clear conclusion (thesis) that you have created about this topic. Your conclusion must be a straightforward one-sentence assertion. Note that your thesis or conclusion can be something narrow within each topic. For example, "I should stop smoking" is a thesis or conclusion that falls under the topic of being healthy.

Incorporate the following guidelines as you write:

• Briefly introduce the issue or topic.
• Identify at least two premises for your conclusion.
• Write at least one page for your argument and written response.
• Your written response should include inductive (an observation arriving at a theory) aspects of your argument as well as deductive (a theory that arrives at a conclusion) aspects.
• List at least one fallacy that you may have committed but have avoided.
• Write at least one unstated assumption that is logically part of your argument.
• If your argument turns out to have a sub-argument (see Unit VII Lesson), make sure you fill out a template for each argument. Follow the writing guidelines on pages 311 through 323 of Chapter 12 of our textbook.

Part 2: After writing your argument paragraphs, fill out the conclusion, premises, inductive aspects, and deductive aspects in the chart at the bottom of the template. In the second chart, include your potential fallacies and hidden assumptions.
