Consider the following structure as a key to how to construct your paper?and map out individual page lengths for each section?8-10 pages of a researched Rogerian Argument.
1. Introduce the issue and show that the sides are understood by restating their arguments. Focus the thesis on possible common ground. (1 page)
2. Show in which contexts and under what conditions the opponent?s position may be valid. Be careful with the language you use. Note that the opponent is never made to feel completely wrong. (2-3 pages)
3. Show in which contexts and under what conditions the supporting position may be valid. Be careful with the language you use. Note that the supporting side is never made to feel completely right. (2-3 pages)
4. State the common ground by focusing on the aspects of the debate that both sides can agree on?whether it is a common enemy, common understanding, common constraint or common warrant. Attempt to show that the two positions complement each other and that each supplies what the other lacks. (2-3 pages)
5. Conclude with a brief suggestion about the possible outcomes of a rethinking of the issue based on the points raised in the essay. Remember: you are not ?fixing? the problem or offering a compromise. Instead, focus on fresh insights raised in the conversation. (1 page)
6. The final two pages (which do not count towards the 8-10 page requirement) must contain the full Works Cited page complete with accessible electronic addresses. The Works Cited page does not need to be annotated. If you do not submit all articles during the submission window, no credit will be issued until you do (late fees will apply).
Word of Advice:
Using a Claim of Policy is highly recommended since this type of claim lends itself readily to the Rogerian rhetorical method.


A non-threatening argument should contain these elements:
1. A brief and objectively phrased statement that defines the issue.
2. A complete and neutrally worded analysis of the other side?s position.
3. A complete and neutrally worded analysis of the position you hold. You should carefully avoid any suggestion that you are more moral or sensitive than your audience.
4. An analysis of what your positions have in common and what goals and values you share.
5. A proposal for resolving the issue in a way that recognizes the interests of both parties.

Essay Instructions: I need a research paper (Sr. Capstone Research paper) written in APA format, using an interdisciplinary approach, examining a controversial issue that is broad enough to incorporate 3 disciplines yet the scope of the issue must be specific as well. I want the paper to be written spefically about the rapid spread of AIDS/HIV in india (looking at the women/girls of india specially), and what measures can be taken to help combat it from spreading further and how to empower the women .I don't have a thesis, but hopefully you can come up wtih one.
This paper has to be written using an objective, formal style. Also, the paper must be looked at from an interdisciplinary approach, using Biology, Psychology and Economics as the 3 main disciplines to discuss the aspects of AIDS.

This paper has strict guidelines that must be followed. I'll send the additional info via email. I need 9 Primary sources in total, so 3 primary sources for each discipline. and as many secondary sources needed. plus one additional source, which i will provide the info for that.

The introduction has to be at least 5 pages long, and the background has to be minimum 5 pages, max 6 pages.

The paper is broken down as such:

(1)Introduction (need to use the 7 Elements of the Introduction):

a-The TOPIC SENTENCE states the problem or issue to be investigated. Development of this sentence corresponds to STEP 1 of the INTS process which is discussed in Chapter 6 of the text. It needs to define the problem in a direct manner, be thorough and convincing, and convey the key factors or aspects of the problem. In other words, it should be able to ?stand alone? to state the chosen problem.

(I will email you Step 1 of the INTS process from Ch 6)

b-An clear EXPLANATION of why the problem is worthy of consideration should be developed in one or more paragraphs. The populations or individuals who might be involved should be identified. Finally, at least two or three reasons should be given to discuss the critical factors concerning the problem as well as potential benefits or outcomes that could result from the research concerning the problem. Hint: The use of secondary sources would strengthen this portion of the introduction.


c- The JUSTIFICATION for using an interdisciplinary approach (use this reason => Knowledge must be utilized from multiple viewpoints as determined by various disciplines in order to fully understand the scope of this issue (Repko, 2005). )

d-The IDENTIFICATION of a potential set of germane disciplines should be mentioned; then, the three most relevant disciplines should be named. This selection corresponds to STEP 3 of the Interdisciplinary Process. They must be disciplines and not areas of concentration or sub-disciplines. If a sub-discipline is more pertinent to the topic, name the discipline first; then, clarify the sub-field of that discipline. The disciplines selected are identified the first time in bold/italicized font (those disciplines would be Biology, Psychology, Economics.

e- The general epistemology or VIEWPOINT of the selected disciplines should be presented. One sentence or one paragraph per each discipline will suffice to justify what each discipline may contribute to overall understanding of the problem.

f-The disciplinary METHODS to be discussed in the paper and the means for collecting source materials and conducting research should be described. state that a thorough literature review was conducted.

g-The PURPOSE of the paper will be the final paragraph wherein the combination of the topic idea with the chosen disciplines conveys the potential discoveries or benefits from utilizing an interdisciplinary approach to the problem.

the purpose of this paper is to create awareness, to inform people.


(2) background- general history of the problem must be discussed within defined parameters (5-6 pages of background)
