The essay that argues about something is called an argumentative essay.
An argumentative essay is a piece of writing that takes a stance on an issue. In a good argumentative essay, a writer
attempts to persuade readers to understand and support their point of view about a topic by stating their reasoning and
providing evidence to back it up.
What is the difference between an opinion and an argument?
An argument is a coherent series of reasons, statements or facts intended to support or establish a point of view.
An opinion is a view, judgement, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter.

D. Discussing New Position Paper
Concepts and Practicing - Is a kind of persuasive essay that presents an issue in which the writer takes a stance and defends it as much as possible.
New Skills #1 - Specifically targets a social issue not only to address inequalities, but more importantly, to effect social change.
Here are the five main contents of a position paper:
2
A. Description of the Issue
These are the questions to guide you in your discussion.
1. Who are the parties involved in the issue? Who, which communities, or which institutions of power are the stakeholders
affected by this issue?
2. Among the stakeholders, who are the perpetrators and victims of inequality?
3. What is the history of this issue? How has it come about? What are the events that have led to social inequality?
4. What has already been done to address this issue?
5. As a student, what can still be done to minimize inequality between the perpetrator and victim as much as possible?
B. Thesis Statement
The thesis statement is your stance on the issue, written as clearly and briefly as possible in a single sentence. While thesis
statements can be implicit, they are conventionally explicit in position papers to make it easier for readers to pinpoint the
writer´s stance.
C. Supporting Points
These arguments woven into sentences that concretely support your thesis statement. Ideally, at least three supporting
points must be provided by the writer in a position paper.
D. Counterarguments
Counterarguments are alternative stances to your chosen issue that do not necessarily align with your thesis statement.
Adding such thing to your position paper is an acknowledgement of other valid perspectives that you have presumably
researched on and a conscious decision on your part to select among them that one single stance you believe in the most.
Counterarguments can be presented either after each supporting point or after all the supporting points and before the
concluding remarks.
E. Sources
Any academic essay is not without its sources-in-text citations and references serving as reliable tokens of your thorough
research in producing a socially relevant position paper. A good number would be at least 10 sources, majority of which are
credible printed sources (i.e., books, journals, newspapers, magazines, etc.).
F. Developing Mastery What is a position paper?
(Leads to Formative
Assessment 3) Beyond an academic essay, how else can a student like you help improve the health condition of the country?
