Defend or Refute essay.
Writing the introduction, Start with a background statement. This will set the stage.

Body Paragraph #2:

Writing the Conclusion
Your conclusion need not be elaborate. In this case, however, I would go back to the original prompt , and emphasize the ambiguity of your answer. The initial statement is neither absolutely true nor absolutely false, and your essay explains why.
Final Thought:
Every essay you will ever write, no matter what the prompt, can be reduced to a “defend or refute the following statement” format. Sometimes, you have to come up with the statement to defend or refute; but you are always arguing a position when you write an essay. The very best essays are the ones that argue a clear position by demonstrating not only why that position is correct, but why alternative perspectives are incorrect.
