Thiswill help you to generate your ideas and get them in some kind of order before youbegin writing your answer. You do not need to consult or cite sources for this essay. Iwant to be clear on this point: Do not access any sources (including the Internet) to lookfor information on the topic you choose. I want you to develop your own ideas andpoints to argue.Essay Topic Choices:1. Should the federal tax on gasoline be raised significantly to help pay for publictransportation and road improvements? Opponents argue that significantly higher gastaxes will hurt business by raising costs and will decrease the freedom of mobility of thegeneral public. Proponents say that we need the additional revenues to finance publicworks projects and that U. S. citizens pay less for gasoline than do citizens in otherindustrialized nations. Take a position on whether gasoline taxes should be raised andwrite an argumentative essay.2. Should Texas pass a law requiring manufacturers to reduce the amount of packagingmaterials on products sold in the state? Proponents argue that much packaging iswasteful; it uses up resources and contributes to our waste disposal problems. Otherssay that a law like this would raise costs to Texas consumers if it does not applynationwide and that consumers are used to packaging as it is. Take a position onrequiring reduced packaging on products sold in Texas and write an argumentativeessay.3. Should high school athletes be tested for steroids? The Texas State Legislature hasalready passed this legislation; however, you may still argue against this issue.Proponents argue that testing for steroids protects young people from the dangers ofsteroids. Opponents argue that it is a privacy issue. Take a position for one side of thisissue and write an argumentative essay supporting your points.4. Should college-educated professional women permanently stay out of the workforceafter they have children? First, notice I use the word âpermanently.â I think this is anissue we don?t discuss enough and it has many interesting points. Proponents whosupport professional women staying home permanently say that their families,especially their children, benefit. Opponents say that women should come back into theworkforce after their children reach school age because industry needs their knowledge,their perspective on different issues, and their passion and commitment. (Theseopponents are not saying that men don?t also offer these same qualities, but businessesand the economy benefit from having a balanced approach where men and women areexecutives and leaders and work together, according to the opponents.)
