As we have been learning, nuclear and radiological technologies have evident beneficial applications in our society including: providing clean energy, medical treatments, national security, and industrial applications. However, there remain realities associated with potential dangers, including examples of past environmental and human health impacts, not to mention the potential proliferation to terrorist groups.

Your writing assignment (20% of your grade) will be to write a 3-4 page convincing and persuasive essay on a nuclear related topic. It is not required that it is specifically a topic covered in class and you are welcome to formulate an argument that is supportive or against the use of the nuclear technology. Some example persuasive topical statements would be:

  • We need to build more reactors in the United States
  • Diagnostic imaging in children should be more heavily regulated.
  • Radiation dose limits for workers should be reduced (or increased).
  • It is necessary to eliminate all nuclear weapons in the United States.
  • The best solution for the disposal of nuclear waste is a deep geological repository

[It is NOT required that it is a topic only relevant to the United States, but these are topics I am more familiar with.]

Critical Analysis…
Some ways to get more critical analysis into this essays…

Avoid unnecessary description – only include general background details when they add to your argument, e.g. to show a crucial cause and effect. Practice distinguishing between description (telling what happened) and analysis (judging why something happened).

Interpret your evidence – explain how and why your evidence supports your point. Interpretation is an important part of critical analysis, and you should not just rely on the evidence “speaking for itself”.

Be specific – avoid making sweeping generalisations or points that are difficult to support with specific evidence. It is better to be more measured and tie your argument to precise examples.

Use counter-arguments to your advantage – if you find viewpoints that go against your own argument, don’t ignore them. It strengthens an argument to include an opposing viewpoint and explain why it is not as convincing as your own line of reasoning.( the most importance point ).
This point means one author has viewpoint and another author has viewpoint against that author . Writing style should be like this .

Critical Analysis Involves…
Carefully considering an idea and weighing up the evidence supporting it to see if it is convincing.
Then being able to explain why you find the evidence convincing or unconvincing.
It helps if you ask yourself a series of questions about the material you are reading. Try using these questions to help you think critically:
Who is the author and what is their viewpoint or bias?
Who is the audience and how does that influence the way information is presented?
What is the main message of the text?
What evidence has been used to support this main message?
Is the evidence convincing; are there any counter-arguments?
======================================================
* Every sentence in this essay should be cited with reference . ( important point )
* Check for the similarities to avoid plagiarism .
