You have some great themes here! I've always been kind of skeptical of immunizations, so I'm quite interested in your view on this. What is herd immunity anyway? Maybe I should read your paper for the answer to that, huh? Haha
ReplyDeleteMake sure you make a clear stance on why Autism fear is important. That particular point is significant because you don't want it to come off as offensive. I am Autistic so I just wanted to give you a heads up. Good job with your outline and good luck with your essay!
ReplyDeleteI think you have some great, generalized topics, but what about sub-topics that you might incldue in some of those larger topics? How might that be added to the outline? You did a great job with breaking down your topic, examining your claim, and really looking at your topic with a proper lens, specifically with viewing both sides of the spectrum on vaccines.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great breakdown here and It looks like it will be a very interesting paper. It looks like this is a topic that you have a strong opinion on. A strong opinion is good but just be sure you show both sides of the argument equally. Other than that, great outline!
