[Respond] Consider possible topics: Evaluating behavioral styles or trends.

E-Page 77

List several behavioral styles or trends about which people have different points of view. Examples include emphasizing children’s needs over parents’ (as in attachment parenting), applying the “Tiger Mom” style of parenting, rewarding students for good grades with money or other gifts, and using the drill-sergeant style of business management as opposed to a more hands-off approach that gives workers greater autonomy. From your list, choose the style or trend about which you have the strongest overall judgment. Then consider how you would argue for your judgment. What reasons would give readers for evaluating the style or trend as you do? How might you address objections or alternative judgments?
