The purpose of this assignment is to develop a message designed to persuade your audience of tough-minded judges for or against a question of policy. Questions of policy propose specific courses of action and consider whether something should be done. These actions stem from the writer’s sense of need. That is, the writer (or more specifically, the persuader) senses 1) that a specific problem in the world needs to be addressed and 2) uses the essay to propose a solution to that problem and thereby address the need.
