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.

The zigzag Road To Rights describes what step toward equal rights that occurred in 1965​
Vladimir [108]

Seeing and experiencing injustice can sometimes make us fearful, insecure, and hopeless, yet empower others to take action and stand up against injustice successfully to produce positive change. There are many ways to take take against injustice, including protest, sanctions, legislation, and other policy measures. Petitions, speeches, demonstration marches are non-violent methods of protest. Leaders whose goal is to initiate change faced various obstacles in their quest for reform. For people in American history, the struggle for justice included personal danger and drew upon a deep internal and personal conviction for the good of all. Social and human injustices continue to evolve today. While slavery had been abolished, injustices against African Americans still continue; however, the dreams and ideals of freedom and equality live. New eras of awareness are born in the effort to end discrimination. While women had gained the right to vote, other forms of inequality continue, for example income inequality. The pursuit for justice and freedom lay the groundwork for the life people live today. Students should reflect on their journey throughout the year and how they have grown and changed. Students should personally investigate their individual responsibility to help others within their community and beyond. Students should consider their role for raising awareness and creating change for issues they care passionately about. Encourage students to discuss other texts they have read or movies or television shows they have seen that deal with the struggle for change. Promote students’ discussion in this topic by raising thoughtful questions on current news. Students should discuss justice and equality. Use specific examples from today to make these needs real to students. Be sure to touch on times in the history of the United States when some or its entire people were not free. Talk about children, similar to our students’ and their siblings’ ages that live in poverty without access to food, shelter, clean water, and education. In English, Language Arts, students would learn about how authors and activities use a variety of techniques, tools, and rhetoric to appeal to their audience and cause change. Students will encounter selections that have people, both real and fictional, who are protesting various injustices. Consider what the selections show about the struggle for justice in the past and its relationship to our ideas of justice today.
