Drug testing

This assignment requires you to write a position paper using the classical argument structure.

Topic: Should people on welfare be required to submit to drug testing?

(I believe it should be a requirement)

  2. Give the necessary background information so the reader understands the issue.
  3. Clearly state your position.
  4. Provide a forecast of your main points in the paper.
  5. Clearly state the reasons that support your position and support each reason with appropriate and sufficient evidence.
  6. Summarize one major objection and effectively respond to it.
  7. Provide a strong conclusion that summarizes your argument, calls for action and/or leaves a powerful impression.
  1. Use appropriate APA style documentation for in-text citations and a separate references list at the end of the paper.

The list of sources must contain:

Answer preview

One of the objections is that individuals in other programs receive assistance from the taxpayer’s money and the program should thus focus to all (Chodorow Adam, 2016 May 24). Entrepreneurs who receive tax benefits and subsidies comprise a representation of such a population. The objection is thus that testing all individuals is fair as we are all beneficiaries of taxpayer’s money. My response to this is that the welfare program is a defined program in which the taxpayers are committed to directly and other government assistance can be withdrawn. The individuals on the welfare are also on the public light thus would encourage such behaviors.
