Research and Debate: Position Paper

Graded Assignment

The debate questions for Week 3 are:

PRO: People just naturally resist change.
CON: People do NOT naturally resist change.

Here is what you need to do.

1. Do some brief research on the topic of resisting change. What determines whether or not people resist change?
2. Write a brief position paper (250-500 words) setting out your argument (either the PRO or the CON side). Your argument must be supported by something more than just your opinion. Use facts from credible sources to make your points. The position paper must comply with APA guidelines, including grammar, punctuation, spelling, textual citations, and reference citations.
3. Save the file as your lastname_debate1 (e.g., lindbergh_debate1.doc or .docx).
4. Submit your paper by the third day of the week.
