Choose two different but related principles, theories, or models that are central to your specialization and the work of practitioners within your specialization. Develop a persuasive argument in support of (or in opposition to) each of the principles, theories, or models, comparing and contrasting the efficacy or applicability of the two that you select. In a paper of at least 8 pages (excluding title, abstract, and reference pages), use persuasive writing techniques such as those described in the paper by Vassallo (2002) to model a strong argument and compelling support for your position with respect to each of the principles, theories, or models. Provide information about the development of each principle, theory, or model and describe how each guides the work of practitioners in your area of specialization. Your paper should incorporate the following persuasive writing elements: • A strong opening that engages your reader in the arguments you will make in your paper; • Powerful descriptors and arguments that identify and support your positions with respect to the principles, theories or models you’ve selected; • Responses to anticipated objections or potential disagreement with your position; and, • Summary points that tie up loose ends and leave your reader with a clear picture of your position with respect to the principles, theories or models you’ve selected. Support your arguments with references to at least five scholarly sources (academic journal articles) in addition to required course readings. Note that it is not sufficient merely to describe two different principles, theories or models. You must take a position in support or in opposition to each of the principles, theories or models, and you must write persuasively to convince your reader about your position relative to each. ________________________________________ Principles, Theories, and Models: A Persuasive Argument Choose two different but related principles, theories, or models that are central to your specialization and the work of practitioners within your specialization.
