Argument Position Essay Prompt English 3000 – Privacy
You will write an 800 minimum word position paper in response to the article by Daniel Solove
in Reading Critically, Writing Well – “Why Privacy Matters Even If You Have Nothing to Hide” on
page 341.
The essay must be formatted in MLA style with appropriate and correct in-text citations for all
paraphrasing, summary and quoting, and must include a correct MLA Works Cited List.
You will argue for or against the position taken, agreeing or disagreeing with Solove,
while using the article as a source and a reference.
In other words, do you think that if you have “nothing to hide”, then online privacy doesn’t
matter? Why or why not?
Read the article carefully to understand what he is claiming. Your purpose is to
convince your readers to take your argument seriously.
Therefore, you will need to acknowledge readers’ opposing views as well as any
objections or questions they might have.
This is NOT a review of Solove’s article.
Brainstorming/Pre-writing questions to consider:
1. Do you agree with the author’s estimation about online privacy and information
gathering? Support your answer with reasons.
2. Solove divides violations of privacy into two types: Orwellian and Kafkaesque. What is
the distinction between these two violations, and why does either of them matter?
3. To what extent should the government have such a significant power over citizens? Do
you agree with Solove’s assumption that a power differential is reason to be concerned,
or do you look at the situation differently?
Be sure to read the discussion section following the essay on p. 346-348 for insights into
Solove’s rhetorical and writing strategies.
Position papers take on controversial issues that have no obvious “right” answer, no truth
everyone accepts, no single authority everyone trusts. Consequently, simply gathering
information – fact finding or expert sources – will not settle these disputes because ultimately
they are a matter of opinion and judgment. Although it is not possible to prove that a position is
right or wrong, it is possible to convince others through a well-constructed, reasoned argument.
You must use and cite the one source from the text, but no more than three in
total. Anything outside your own experience, or that is not considered common knowledge,
must be cited, but your own ideas and voice must clearly be heard in the paper, while using the
source as evidence to support your claim. You may NOT use Wikipedia as a source, but may
use it to see what the conversation is about in your topic (make sure to scroll to the bottom of
their page to see their credible sources). Be sure to review how to use quotes, paraphrasing,
and summary effectively, and how to integrate evidence into a paper while citing correctly, both
in-text and on correctly formatted MLA Works Cited List.
