1-3 Activity: Creating a Research Question Hierarchy Web How do we start answering broad questions? We begin by exploration and investigative deconstruction. Examine the list of research questions formulated by the Pew Research Center in the last 10 years: What does the American political landscape look like? Who are the Millennials? How is religion changing in America and around the world? How is the American family changing? What is the state of American journalism? How is the face (overall diversity) of America changing? How have the U.S. wars of the past decade changed America and the world? How has the internet changed society? After reviewing this list, choose a question that stands out to you. Then, create a web of questions that spawn from one another, breaking down the broad question into smaller, more manageable questions. Do this for as many divisions and subdivisions as you see fit, and organize your questions based on these headings. This process should help you see how to make the complex more finite (from really complicated to something simple and easier to approach).

In your paper, Present a revised argument in standard form, with each premise and the conclusion on a separate line. Present a counterargument in standard form, with each premise and the conclusion on a separate line. Provide support for each premise of your counterargument. Clarify the meaning of the premise and supporting evidence for the premise. Pay special attention to those premises that could be seen as controversial. Evidence may include academic research sources, supporting arguments, or other ways of demonstrating the truth of the premise (for more ideas about how to support the truth of premises take a look at the instructor guidance for this week). This section should include at least one scholarly research source. For guidance about how to develop a conclusion see the Ashford Writing Center’s Introductions and Conclusions. Explain how the conclusion of the counterargument follows from its premises. [One paragraph] Discuss the primary points of disagreement between sincere and intelligent proponents of both sides. [One to two paragraphs] For example, you might list any premises or background assumptions on which you think such proponents would disagree and briefly state what you see as the source of the disagreement, you could give a brief explanation of any reasoning that you think each side would find objectionable, or you could do a combination of these. Present the best objectionto your original argument. Clearly indicate what part of the argument your objection is aimed at, and provide a paragraph of supporting evidence for the objection. Reference at least one scholarly research source. [One to two paragraphs]
