the position paper will be worth 100 points. In order to get an “A” or “A-“ on a position paper, it must: 1) Be well written; 2) Two pages in length; 3) Use evidence and logical argumentation; 4) Be properly cited; 5) Have proper citation format; 6) Involve the use of authoritative and diverse sources.

There are a couple of ways you might go about writing your position paper. First, you could adopt the position of a particular organization or institution in the debate. For example, you could adopt the position of alternatives to AA such as Rational Recovery, Secular Organization for Sobriety or Moderation Management.

Second, you may choose to focus on one aspect of the debate about the merits of AA and elaborate upon it fully in your position paper. You do not necessarily have to focus on every dimension of every problem associated with AA. So, you could focus on the evidence, or lack thereof, regarding the effectiveness of AA in preventing relapse, the methodological difficulties associated with scientifically studying the “organization”, the methodological shortcomings of existing studies of AA, alternative explanations for remission, problems, or strengths associated with the religious/spiritual dimension of AA, the type of people most likely/least likely to benefit from AA, the relative efficacy of AA compared to other treatment options, the popularity or lack thereof of AA among alcoholics and treatment professionals, the issue of attrition, the constitutionality of requiring people to attend AA as part of probation, and controversial aspects of the AA philosophy of recovery.

Much of your research will probably be internet-based but you are encouraged to use other sources. Above all, you should use scholarly research articles. I want to see EVIDENCE-BASED arguments.
