This list of 100 topics may give you an idea that you can get excited about. Remember that you may argue the statement as it is written, or take the opposite view. The goal of argumentative writing is to persuade your audience that your ideas are valid, or more valid than someone else's. You do this by using the Greek philosopher, Aristotle's means of persuasion, appeals, that he divided into three categories--Ethos, Pathos, Logos.

Ethos (Credibility), or ethical appeal, means convincing by the character of the author. We tend to believe people whom we respect. One of the central problems of argumentation is to project an impression to the reader that you are someone worth listening to, in other words making yourself as author into an authority on the subject of the paper, as well as someone who is likable and worthy of respect.

Pathos (Emotional) means persuading by appealing to the reader's emotions. We can look at texts ranging from classic essays to contemporary advertisements to see how pathos, emotional appeals, are used to persuade. Language choice affects the audience's emotional response, and emotional appeal can effectively be used to enhance an argument.

Logos (Logical) means persuading by the use of reasoning. This involves deductive and inductive reasoning. Giving reasons is the heart of argumentation, and cannot be emphasized enough. Research the types of support you can use to substantiate your thesis, and look at some of the common logical fallacies, in order to avoid them in your writing. Good Luck :)
