I understand that the whole point of the Rogerian Model is to find common ground and resolve an issue instead of winning an argument, but I’m still not sure of how to set up the thesis statement using this method. Would it be like any other essay where you simply state how you feel and why, or would you acknowledge the other sides views in the thesis as well? Also, I understand that it is important to acknowledge the opponents views, but am unsure about how to exactly to do it. Is it ok to write about how you completely disagree with their views and possible solutions, or should you leave that out? If you should leave it out, how would you go about informing the readers of the opponents views?
About the next essay, I was wondering if there are any topics that are off limits this time. If yes, what are they? I’m not decided yet about what I want to write about, but I think I’m leaning towards global warming.
