SOLUTION 

Pre-writing, Argumentative Essay Introduction and Thesis, an Argumentative Plan, and First Sources 

  1. Your Thesis Statement: Please provide your thesis statement with a clear stance and situated within the debate you chose in Week 1.

Overexposure to the sun’s harmful Ultraviolet-A and ultraviolet-B radiation are considered very harmful to the skin leading to the formation of sunburns, wrinkles, diseases, and cancers significantly contributing to mortality rates.

  1. Your Prewriting: With your thesis in mind, perform prewriting.
  2. Brainstorm for a list of three reasons your stance is important and valid and write those three reasons below.

Natural sunlight contains ultraviolet photon particles, these particles have a much higher energy than visible light, hence, having the potential to cause DNA damage in skin cells. Secondly, UV light falls outside of the visible spectrum (400-700 nm), the human eyes cannot recognize them nor be able to feel UV radiation making it impossible to guide against overexposure which will inflict the skin cells, causing burns, peel and tan. Lastly the overexposure of the eye to UV radiation increases the risk of developing cataracts or causing damage to the retina.

  1. Brainstorm for a list of three reasonable opposing arguments others may make against your thesis/stance and write those three opposing arguments below.

I have successfully carried out research on some reasons why others may disagree as UV radiation has its pros and cons. One of the opposing arguments is the fact that UV rays helps in alleviating symptoms of some form of skin conditions such as Tuberculosis and Psoriasis. Furthermore, it has been scientifically proven that UV rays deactivate or kills microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria. Lastly scientists will oppose to my argument because UV radiation serves as a tool in genetic experiments and study for chemical structures.….please click the purchase button below to access the entire solution at $10
