Description
Introduction To complete this assignment, which asks you to craft a reasonable, ethical argument on a controversial topic, you will need to draw upon all the skills you have developed and practiced this semester. This is your opportunity to showcase your improved thinking skills in a comprehensive final assignment. The Assignment Choose a controversial, complex question to answer in an argument paper. You should choose a question that requires reasoned judgment to answer, not a question merely of fact or preference. (You may use facts to help you settle on a valid answer to the question.) Remember that a question of judgment has competing reasonable answers--in other words, you should choose a controversial issue on which it is possible to have several, different reasonable solutions or answers. From your main question, use the elements, standards, and relevant domains of thinking to generate related questions. This will help drive your thinking forward and allow you to think through the topic deeply and broadly. Locate accurate, reliable, credible information and use it to decide on a reasonable, ethical answer to the complex question. Remember to check information for media bias, egocentric and sociocentric thinking, invalid assumptions, misuse of concepts, and logical fallacies. Remember to check your own reasoning for these irrational and unethical tendencies as well. Openmindedly consider all relevant, valid perspectives as you make your decision on how to answer the question. Make sure you use concepts fairly and accurately, and be sure to check your own assumptions. Craft your response to the complex question. In making your case, keep the intellectual standards in mind. Your thinking and writing should be clear, precise, accurate, relevant, appropriately deep and broad, logical, significant, and fair. Your answer to the complex question will become your thesis. Your paper will provide evidence to support your final conclusion on the topic. Resources You may use library resources, including computer databases, books, Internet sites, and any other sources that are relevant and reliable. Be sure to check your sources for credibility. Check the campus library web page for more information on research. Use MLA documentation style to cite and list your sources. Helpful websites on MLA:

The Use of New Gene Technology for Performance Enhancement Has No Place in Sports
The argument concerning use of performance booster substances by athletes is becoming more
complex while the biotechnologies are becoming more popular. The world is now compelled to
decide whether an athlete champion has to win through hard work or it should be victory at any
cost. For the past decades, people have believed in fairness and equity in sports. In as much as
the competition is always all about the winner, again the process or the means of winning matters
too. Therefore, athletes who take the biotechnology boosters grant themselves an unfair
advantage and even interfere with the tradition of fairness in sports hence they should be banned
from participating.
Scientists experimented the impact of the biotechnologies by using a model that could
develop stronger muscles and improve endurance by manipulating a person’s genetic code. They
used a rodent where they injected it with a gene that enhances growth protein and the...
