Literature Review
Nowadays, many people have their businesses online; these businesses are considered ecommerce. I chose this topic because it is a more efficient to not only customers, but also
owners. Most importantly, I chose this question because it is open-ended and debatable in many
ways. My essay is mainly based on the present insights of e-commerce.
The sources I chose are very crucial for writing my essay. A source I chose was mainly
lists abouts how to maintain an e-commerce and why it is beneficial. One source talks about
how financially online businesses are much more convenient due to not having to pay for rent
and more. One more important source I will be using says that having an e-commerce is better
because some who are not local to the business can order world wide and use the products they
have purchased. Another source shows how these businesses are good for the economy. Another
source talks about an e-commerce owners personal experience. I chose this because she gives
advice to future business owners and provides them with insight.
These businesses are very efficient because it is has many advantages. One advantage is
that it is financially effective to online business owners. Owning store front businesses has more
expenses because of paying for rent and paper. Paper is used for receipts when a product is
bought, but online purchase receipts are sent directly to an email. Others would argue that having
a physical store will be more beneficial to customers but online is more convenient due to the
Chakardjian 2
fact the you can attract more customers world wide. I predict that in the future there will be more
e-commerce businesses since it is a growing business.

Argumentative Persuasive Research Paper
Task: Argue your side effectively on a debatable topic of your choice. I prefer if you choose a topic that is of interest to you, or to your future academic studies,
or to a career path you have chosen, so that what you write for my class can then be used as sample work when you move on.
Since it’s a debatable topic you have to take a stand/ position – are you pro or con? Then explore the opposition’s arguments and prove that opposition wrong.
If you cannot come up with a topic, I have some debate topics with articles (but these articles are old), so I will expect you to get more recent articles from the
library databases: ProQuest, Opposing Viewpoints, and or Kanopy) to add to your store of articles to be used as sources for your research.
Here are the 8 topics you may choose (but I truly admire if you come up with a topic of your own), but if you cannot come up with your own topic you may use
one from the suggested list of debates. This is to make it easier for you):
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Athletics benefits the academic environment
Technology’s impact on human relationships
Dress code impacts the learning environment
Impact of helicopter parenting
Oscars represent America’s diversity
What’s better? Trade School or College
Tuition free college benefits all
Wage increase benefits do not justify benefits for all
As you can see the above topics are debatable. Some may say it is beneficial and some may say it is not beneficial. You have to take a stand on whatever topic you
choose.
Then come up with a list of Question (after accessing prior knowledge), read the articles to see if your questions are answered, if go online and look up the
databases to find articles.
There are two rough drafts needed for this, but if these rough drafts are in bullet points, I am ok with that too.
Rough Draft 1: Argument
You will choose a debatable topic as your subject. You may argue either side of the issue. Define the topic in terms of your argument. Describe in detail the issues
related to your topic that supports your claim. Present evidence that supports your claim.
Rough Draft #2: Refutation
You will argue the same topic/side as you did in RD #1. Imagine you have presented your paper to a committee. What might the opposition say to counter your
ideas? Your goal is to prove this opposition wrong. Write it in a way that refutes any opposition to the argument you made in Rough Draft #1.
Final: Combined Argument and Refutation: For the final, you will edit Rough Draft #1 and 2 that you wrote earlier. Combine the body paragraphs of these two
Rough Drafts to form your final (6-8 pages total). Be sure to transition between these paragraphs. The final will have an entirely new intro/conclusion as well as a
thesis.
Summarize at least 3 arguments that the opposition to your proposed solution might make. Will they argue with your data? Do they see the issue differently? Do
they think another solution would be better? Using academic tone, deconstruct the argument. Show why their arguments are wrong. Show why their data are
skewed. Show that their conclusions are inaccurate.
1. Your thesis should: a) give the topic, b) state the side you are on c) tell why you are right and your opposition is wrong. This thesis is NEW.
2. Include a new intro strategy/new introductory paragraph for the final. This intro is NEW (not the same as in your Rough Drafts).
3. Edit and then cut and paste the BODY PARAGRAPHS from Rough Draft 1 into the final.
4. Include a transitional paragraph to join these two halves together for your reader. This paragraph is NEW
5. Edit and then cut and paste the BODY PARAGRAPHS from Rough Draft 2 into the second half of the final. These paragraphs should prove your
opposition wrong. Will the opposition argue with your data? Do they see the issue differently? Do they use argumentative fallacies? Using academic
tone, deconstruct the argument. Show why their arguments are wrong. Show why their data are skewed. Show that their conclusions are inaccurate.
Remember, you must avoid argumentative fallacies when proving your side!
6. Conclude by summing up the weakness (eg) of the opposition and reaffirming the strength of your side. Your readers should put down the paper and
believe your side is correct. This conclusion should be NEW.
7. When you combine your sources for Rough Draft 1 and 2, you will have a minimum of 5 sources and a maximum of 10 sources. The list of sources
must be varied. However, you may not use: encyclopedias, Wikipedia, blogs, chatrooms, or discussion forums.
8. Following MLA citation guidelines, use parenthetical in text citations and include a works cited page in which you list the sources that you’ve used
in your paper.
