This will be a problem/solution argument paper on police brutality.

You may use the Problem/Solution (Proposal) Argument sections (eBook Chapter 11: Proposing, and How-to Video 6) and Examples of Student Works (Proposing example) from MindTap as a guide for your paper.  You should also review proposal arguments we’ve read for class and analyze their rhetorical uses of the three different appeals, strengths, and weaknesses; consider what works/doesn’t work in these arguments and apply certain strategies and appeals accordingly in your own writing.  In writing this assignment, your task will be to select a topic and then devise a claim in which you take a stand on a particular public-policy, practice, or change in attitudes issue.  Your proposal indicates and proves that there is some problem or need which needs to be addressed, some action/solution should take place, and suggests that there are good reasons why it should.  You also need to state specific effects of your proposal (how your proposed solution will work and what benefits will come from it).  You will then support your proposal claim with evidence from a minimum of five current research sources.  Remember to cite all research sources in your paper according to MLA format (in-text parenthetical citation), along with a complete documented list of sources used in your paper on a separate Works Cited page (refer to MindTap and Valencia College Website).
