A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince
the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to. Ideas that you are considering need to be
carefully examined in choosing a topic, developing your argument, and organizing your paper. It is very
important to ensure that you are addressing all sides of the issue and presenting it in a manner that is easy
for your audience to understand. Your job is to take one side of the argument and persuade your audience
that you have well-founded knowledge of the topic being presented. It is important to support your
argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims, as well as to address the counterclaims to
show that you are well informed about both sides.
