The topic is Inequalities in The health care system of the United States 

Students will write a six-page argumentative essay considering the feedback received in regards to your proposal and outline. An argumentative essay is an essay that uses evidence and facts to support the claim it is making. A good argumentative essay will use facts and evidence to support the argument, rather than just the author’s thoughts and opinions. Therefore, the references you will use in your essay are crucial. 

Consider the following ideas to develop your paper.

Introduction (15 points)

The introduction of your review should accomplish three things:

  • Introduce your topic 
    • Let the reader in on background information specific to the topic, define terms that may be unfamiliar to them, explain the scope of the discussion and your purpose for writing the essay.
  • State your topic’s relevance 
    • Think of your essay as a statement in the larger conversation of your academic community. Think about why your paper is relevant to the discussion briefly.
  • Reveal your thesis 
    • The thesis is the main idea that you want to get across to your reader. Your thesis should be a clear statement of what you intend to prove or illustrate by your essay. By revealing your thesis in the introduction, the reader knows what to expect in the rest of the paper.

Body (65 points)

The discussion section is the body of your paper. The discussion section contains information that develops and supports your thesis. While there is no particular form that a discussion section must take, a writer must follow several considerations when building a discussion.

  • Don’t summarize 
    • An argumentative essay is not simply a summary of the literature you have reviewed. Be careful not to leave out your own analysis of the ideas presented in the literature. Synthesize the material and identify the connections you see, or the connections you are trying to illustrate, among your readings.
  • Analyze, Synthesize, Interpret. 
    • Since a good argumentative essay will use facts and evidence to support the argument, rather than just the author’s thoughts and opinions, you are required to analyze, synthesize, and interpret the information you read in some meaningful way. You must explain your material’s relevance and significance to the topic you are approaching. Establish a clear thesis from the onset of your writing and examine which pieces of your reading are helpful to develop and support your thesis ideas.
  • Stay focused. 
    • Keep your discussion focused on your topic and, more importantly, your thesis. A well-focused paper is crucial in getting your message across to your reader.
  • Organize your points. 
    • Keeping your points organized makes it easier for the reader to follow along and make sense of your arguments. If possible, start each paragraph with a topic sentence that relates to your thesis. As far as the discussion section goes, use meaningful subheadings related to your content to organize your points.
  • Relate the discussion to your thesis. 
    • Your thesis should illustrate your objectives in writing the essay and your discussion should serve to accomplish your objectives. Make sure to keep your discussion related to the thesis in order to meet your objectives. If you find that your discussion does not relate to your thesis, you might want to revise your thesis instead of reworking the discussion.

Conclusions (10 points)

A reasonable conclusion should illustrate the critical connections between your primary points and your thesis and the critical connections between your thesis and the broader discussion—what is the significance of your paper in a larger context? Make some conclusions—where have you arrived as a result of writing this paper?

Be careful not to present any new information in the conclusion section.
