Argumentative Essay
Background: The essay is inspired from Rachel Carson’s “The Obligation to Endure” where she alerts the public of how humans have committed alterations of a dangerous nature on the environment — particularly pesticides — and at an alarming rate. She also argues how humans must take responsibility for the destruction we have caused. We’re forced to consider how arguments from 1962 speak to our realities in 2019.
The prompt:
Rachel Carson elaborates on a number of threats she argues are her priorities (radiation, pesticides) that put the world out of balance. What specific threats do you perceive, and what do you think is necessary to address them?
– Must address Rachel Carson’s argument in the introduction and how that echoes even today
– The environmental issue I want the paper to be centered around is Ocean Acidification
– The answer to the question “what do you think is necessary to address them?” ( what actions should man take ) should be specific
– An image of a rubric-esque check list is provided
If there any other questions, just ask ( I look forward to working with you!)
