PURPOSE: For this assignment, you will formulate and write an editorial representing values and moral perspectives regarding end-of-life issues in healthcare. An editorial format allows for a more personal expression of moral relevance, but you MUST support your argument with literature, facts, and logic. Even when the goal is to convey a personal stance, citing sources and incorporating outside evidence makes for a much more compelling piece of writing.
TASK: The topic of the editorial is to be determined by the student and left open-ended intentionally to promote reflection and critical thinking. Be careful not to take too broad a position. In order for the editorial to be persuasive, a clear and succinct idea or stance must be present.
This assignment must be written using the appropriate voice and structure for an editorial.
In order to write a compelling editorial, we must consider our audience, meet the criteria of the publisher, and adopt an appropriate tone. Information about these considerations can be found by following these links:
