The student shall have broad discretion in choosing a topic to PERSUASIVELY, or
ANALYTICALLY write about. Persuasive writing is also known as an argument essay. It
utilizes, evidence, logic and reason to show that one idea is more legitimate than another idea. It
attempts to persuade a reader to adopt a certain point of view or to take a particular action. The
topic should be health care related; however, this can be interpreted on many fronts. It can be
based upon a health care law, policy, regulation, guideline, protocol etc. It does not have to
necessarily be a controversial topic, however, there must be some controversy
surrounding the argument.

Upon choosing your topic, ask yourself, “What am I trying to convey?” “What is the actual
issue?” “How should the law/regulation/policy be different?” and “Why?” these will be the
foundational questions when formulating your argument. Additionally, you should be
asking yourself, “Do I know enough about the topic, or do I need to do more research to
convey my thought?”
