By this point you should have read several sources that provide background information on Gender wage gap in professional sports and help
explain how the controversy reached its current state.
Draw from those sources to draft answers to the following
questions:
o What caused this issue to emerge in the first place?
o What have been some of the major turning points in the
history of the controversy?
o Who is currently interested in the issue, and why?
You should generate at least a page of content in this section.
• You should also have read several sources that advocate a
range of positions on your issue. Do some brainstorming to
come up with a list of at least three distinct positions that
reasonable people hold.
• For each position you’ve listed, draft a description of it by
answering the following questions:
o What are the main claims of people who advocate this
position?
o What reasons and evidence do advocates cite to support
their claims?
o What are the warrants or underlying assumptions of argu-
ments that support this position?
If you describe at least three positions in sufficient detail,
you should produce at least a page and a half of content
here.
• For each position you’ve described, choose a source that
advocates for this position and summarize its specific
argument.
If you summarize three sources in sufficient detail, you should
generate at least a page and a half of content here.
• Take two of the positions you’ve described and draft a com-
parison of them that identifies areas of agreement and disagree-
ment. Also, explain what causes their differences. For example,
do they simply have competing interests? Do they focus on dif-
ferent aspects of the issue? Do they draw from different sources
of evidence? Do they interpret the same evidence differently?
Then, compare the third position to the previous two,
identifying its areas of agreement and disagreement
with the first two positions and tracing the causes of its
differences.
• You should produce at least a page of content in this
section.
