Argumentative Essay Topics

Choosing argumentative essay topics requires more thought than one would think.

Here are some points to consider before making your final decision:

Have you considered both sides of the argument? Is the topic arguable? Does it have sufficient PROS and CONS to provide enough bulk to your essay?
Are you interested in the topic? If not, pick something else, you will be putting lots of time and effort into the subject and will be learning a great deal. More interest means better research and will ultimately lead to better grades.
Does your topic matter right now? Is it relevant?
Focus on a specific topic and not one that is too broad. Eg. Abortion is too broad, but birth defects and early termination is more specific.
