The average argumentative essay is between three to five pages, and will require at least three or four separate sources with which to back your claims.An argumentative essay attempts to convince a reader to agree with a particular argument (the writer's thesis statement). The writer takes a firm stand one way or another on a topic and then uses hard evidence to support that stance.

An argumentative essay seeks to prove to the reader that one argument—the writer's argument—is the factually and logically correct one. This means that an argumentative essay must use only evidence-based support to back up a claim, rather than emotional or philosophical reasoning (which is often allowed in other types of essays). Thus, an argumentative essay has a burden of substantiated proof and sources, whereas some other types of essays (namely persuasive essays) do not.

You can write an argumentative essay on any topic, so long as there's room for argument. Generally, you can use the same topics for both a persuasive essay or an argumentative one, so long as you support the argumentative essay with hard evidence.

Example topics of an argumentative essay:

“Should farmers be allowed to shoot wolves if those wolves injure or kill farm animals?”

“Should the drinking age be lowered in the United States?”

“Are alternatives to democracy effective and/or feasible to implement?”

The next three types of essays are not argumentative essays, but you may have written them in school. We're going to cover them so you know what not to do for your argumentative essay.

Why do we like Winter?<br> Please answer it.<br> And I need a big sentence.

vekshin1

Answer:

I can say that I was surprised to find out Canadians are not a fan of the winter. I mean, we are known by other countries to be winter warriors, but is that really how we see ourselves? Canada as a winter nation and arctic adventures is neither wrong or right. When people from other countries think of Canada they imagine people in a cold environment, sometimes even living in igloos. Yes, we are a winter nation that goes through the cold hard days and spend most of our winter shoveling cars and staying home a lot, but we are not a winter nation by heart. That being said i'd like to address the fact that we Canadians don't enjoy the winter. In fact we despise it and wish that summer can just hurry up. I think that we are in denial, secretly dreaming of cloudless winter because we complain about snow, slush, and the cold. But I believe winter can be loved if we apply the Scandinavians way of life, which is for example heated sidewalks. If Canada had those innovations, I believe that we would all enjoy the winter because Canada without winter it’s impossible and we will forever be known as the winter nation. At the same time, why as winter nation don’t come up with innovations that will benefit us? We can have heated sidewalks to prevent any injuries like slipping on ice and we can wear heels that help us ensure that we won't fall.
