Answer 3

My teacher is kind of picky and wants a good strong argument statement so

Answer 4

like a thesis statement? personally I think that's good

Answer 5

Not just a thesis statement it needs to be an argument like I can't just say thar honor killings are bad I have to specifically be arguing something

Answer 6

so do you think that is good

Answer 7

yeah

do you have/or do you think you have enough evidence to defend it?

Answer 8

PRESENTATIONS - Using Google Slides, PowerPoint, or Prezi, give a brief overview of your project (argument and integrate points, naysayer, interesting research). 4 to 5 minutes in length (5 minute max!) / no more than 4 slides excluding first/cover. This should serve as an outline / roadmap of your first draft.

Answer 9

SO this is my assignment,. Its basically just an outline so to give enough points I could say

outline three main points?

Answer 10

sure

my suggestion would be to try to address both parts of your argument 1) Honor Killings are not just a Muslim problem and 2) it is the most extreme form of institutionalized violence against women which violates their rights as humans.
point 1) is a bit easier to defend, you can simply research the history of honor killing and how it occurs with non-muslim countries/people

point 2) you will have to define what institutionalized violence is, how honor killing qualifies, and how it violates the human rights of women

Answer 11

I have to obviously explain on my own too so this is just a rough outline .

Answer 12

I also now need to come up with a naysayer: so basically an opposing statement

Answer 13

i got that lol im done now ill just send you my 4 slides just so you can check it oveR?>

Answer 14

hm
that's a bit harder
your opponent will probably try to say that the most egregious/prevalent cases of honor killings are in muslim countries
as for the second bullet point... hm... I don't think people will try to argue that it's not a human rights violation, but they may try to argue against your sub-points (they may see those points as oversimplifying the culture and freedoms of woman dealing with these issues)

Answer 15

honestly I might defer to shadow on this one, he's better at this sort of thing

Answer 16

I did message him =)

Answer 17

for an outline I think you have a good start
I'd also make sure you have a source/citation to back up each assertion, for example, for the human rights violation, you could cite some specific legislature that protects people against unwanton violence

Answer 18

, to demonstrate that honor killings are direct violation human rights

that sort of thing

Answer 19

okay sounds good. its supposed to be an outline so im glad you said that

Answer 20

yeah, like I said it looks good so far, just keep working on the details
I'll be available pretty readily this week if you need extra help
