There is no single, “correct” answer to this question; I want you to build a concise yet detailed argument for your point of view. You must take a position on one side or the other of the question posed. No matter which way you argue in your essay, be sure to include at least three major points in favor of your position and three GOOD counterarguments. Do not waste everyone’s time by including the counterarguments that are the easiest to attack while avoiding more persuasive positions. Your essay should make it clear why your reasons are more convincing than the counterarguments.
