Position essays present the writer's opinion about some arguable
issue. The objective of a position essay is to persuade the
reader that the writer's opinion is valid and worth attention.
The writer should carefully select the topic and research all
sides of the discussed issue. The essay should be well-balanced
and touch upon both sides of the topic, but still be able to win
over the audience's support.
When writing a position essay, it is ultimately important to
represent the researched material in a coherent manner. The
writer should take one side of the argument and persuade the
reader that his opinion is valid through demonstration of
profound knowledge in the discussed area. As for many other
types of essays, utilization of evidence, supporting quotes and
statistical data is crucial. The writer should also demonstrate
his awareness about the counter-arguments and provide their
plausible refutation.
