Choose a problem that is important or interesting to you and propose a solution to it. Proposal arguments call for action! Proposal arguments are extended arguments made because the author wants something to be changed or wants to stop something from being changed. Usually, the hope is that others have something to gain if the problem is solved.
Description of Assignment: Your proposal will demonstrate that there is a problem, and you will provide a solution for it. Your proposal argument will do the following:
o Identify and define the problem
o Propose and demonstrate a feasible solution
o Convince readers that the proposed solution is fair and will work
o Consider multiple perspectives – anticipates and responds to likely objections appropriately by examining the author’s credentials, assumptions, affiliations, and implications
