Division & Classification/Definition Essay With the Division & Classification, the author breaks down a topic into exclusive categories in order to organize and better understand the topic. Definition essays explore the connotative meanings of words, rather than their dictionary definitions. For this assignment, you will write an argumentative essay using the Division & Classification and/or Definition skills to address one of the three following prompts: 1. There has been a great deal of controversy over NFL player Colin Kaepernick’s kneeling during the U.S. national anthem to protest the treatment of Black Americans. Form an argument about what “protesting” means, and what constitutes acceptable or unacceptable forms of protest. 2. “Adulting” has recently entered into the American lexicon as a verb meaning “to adult.” Form an argument about what the concept of “adulting” means and how this reflects modern American culture. 3. More and more people are seeking out political and social “safe spaces,” both online and in the places they frequent, such as schools, workplaces, and churches. Form an argument about what the concept of a “safe space” means, and why people seek them out. Use one or more of the assigned sources to support your argument: “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/04/martin-luther-kings-letter-from-birmingham-jail/ 274668/ “Extended Adolescence: When 25 Is the New 18.” By Bret Stetka.
