Chapter 18: Taking a Position

 In other words taking a stand, you need to refine what you think and feel, to clarify and deepen your perspective on an issue. The goal in writing a paper like this is to explain what you believe and why. You need to try to explore all positions just because your very set on your opinion doesn't mean it is right, do your research. Go beyond and make a position instead of stating your opinion it shows mature thinking. Try and soften your stance, no need to come off like a snob. Let evidence speak for itself.

An Apology for the Life of Ms.Barbie D. Doll
Reading for better writing
  1. The way the word apology is used in the title seems to be kind of sarcastic, it could also be taken defensively. To alot of people such as myself we don't see the wrong doing in barbie dolls. I know when I was little girl I owned many and I didn't try and dress like them, maybe like a princess but that was as far as it went. I do understand however how they might make girls have lower self esteem because it isn't realistic to have a tiny waste and huge boobs with perfect skin. But I don't think that anyone who made barbie's should have to apologize.
  2. I think the writer treats the original source very well cause he isn't attacking the source what so ever. There are many concessions and rebuttals in this arguement and they were very understandable. He always goes back and forth between the different view points on the subject, and he seems to have an answer for every arguement that people might have with them.
