Assignment Task
Task Context
While this is an individual assignment, the final two weeks on unit content will provide detailed instructions and assistance for completing this assignment. However, the majority of your work will need to take place outside class time. You are encouraged to start thinking about your essay topic as early as possible.
Task Instructions
Essay:
For this task, you will be required to write a 1500 word argumentative essay about on one of the topics below. The aim is to select a ‘fact’ that we tend to accept as common knowledge and an agree upon truth in society – and one which you personally agree with.
Your job is present an argument about this ‘fact’ and to interrogate the basis of this knowledge by drawing on academic evidence to support your claims. You should draw on the knowledge you have gained about logical thinking and fallacies create a robust argument structure.
Topics:
Australia is a meritocracy
Women are naturally more caring
Testing on animals should be banned
The death penalty is an effective deterrent for crime
Vaccines contain hazardous or poorly-researched substances that make them more dangerous than the diseases they claim to prevent
The dangers of climate change are exaggerated
Feminism is irrelevant in the 21st century
Choose your own – you must get approval from your tutor
Please ensure that your answer is framed as an academic essay including:
An introduction (context, argument, a list of the main points you shall discuss)
A main body (clearly themed paragraphs to reflect each main point that inform your argument)
A conclusion (show how your argument is consolidated in light of your discussion, taking care not to introduce any new information)
Reference list (minimum of 8 academic sources, formatted with Swinburne Harvard)
Critically reflective appendix (100-200 words – not included in the word count, see below)
Critically Reflective Appendix:
You may start off this essay with a particular view about your issue, but find that this changes as you do research, or that it is further reinforced. The critically reflective appendix is an opportunity to discuss, analyse, explain, and evaluate the process of inquiry and researching for this essay. You may wish to discuss any pre-exisiting assumptions you had and if they were/weren’t supported, and how this impacted the argument you presented.
This appendix is not included in the overall word count, but it should be between 100-200 word.
References are not needed for the appendix.
Unlike the essay, you can use first person in your reflection (in other words, say “I think…”), however you should still keep your tone academic and formal.
