Read this example argument. Note whether you agree or disagree or disagree with the argument along with an explanation as to why you feel this way.   Example 1: College Causes Anxiety Rather Than Exacerbates It  Claim: College itself is a primary cause of anxiety, not just a factor that worsens pre-existing conditions.  Elaboration: The structure of higher education places immense pressure on students through academic expectations and financial burdens.  Evidence: According to sociologist Julie A. Phillips, anxiety levels spike significantly when students enter college, even among those with no prior history of anxiety. Phillips found that financial insecurity, academic stress, and social instability create a unique environment that fosters anxiety (Phillips 112).  Warrant: Because anxiety often emerges in students without prior mental health struggles, it is clear that college itself is a contributing factor. The high cost of tuition, the uncertainty of post-graduate job prospects, and the constant need to perform at a high academic level combine to create an unhealthy environment.  Conclusion: Instead of merely offering mental health counseling to address symptoms, universities should focus on structural reforms to prevent anxiety from developing in the first place. 

Example 2: Homework Should Be Banned  Claim: Schools should ban homework because it has little academic benefit and causes unnecessary stress for students.  Elaboration: I frequently hear students cite homework as one of the biggest issues facing students. .  Evidence: Education researcher Alfie Kohn found that beyond a certain threshold, homework does not meaningfully improve academic performance. Instead, it leads to heightened stress levels, decreased motivation, and worsened family dynamics as students struggle to meet deadlines (Kohn 23).  Warrant: Because homework contributes more to student exhaustion than to actual learning, schools should eliminate or significantly reduce it. Learning should be an engaging, in-class process rather than an overwhelming burden outside of school hours.  Conclusion: Instead of forcing students to complete busywork at home, schools should focus on maximizing learning opportunities during class time.  Response:  

A key aspect of summary is making decisions about what content is important, and what can be left out. This isn’t something that comes naturally, so we will work with some practice to gain more experience.  I have attached an except from a report on Gen Z financial beliefs.
