Homework2. Opinion Papers: You will write ONE 4-5 page (typed, double spaced) opinion
paper and present it orally to class. Now the definition of opinion is: a view, judgment, or
appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter or a belief stronger than impression
and less strong than positive knowledge). You have several options for the focus of your
opinion:? Choose a spiritual health issue that is current in today’s healthcare debates.? Or, in
your opinion how can the allied health and health education professions can get more ofthe
practitioners engaged in talking about spiritual wellness? Or share your opinion as to how
the allied health and health education professional influencethe spiritual community to
embrace the importance of learning traditional health topics.? Also, you are welcomed to
pursue any ideas that may have been realized in class lecture,outside readings, personal
experiences or current community debates featured in news reportedmedia.? And, finally,
you may want to share a personal opinion that “bounces” off of a thesis in one ofthe
suggested reading books (see listing at end of this syllabus).This will never be just a re-
write of an article or book chapter that you have read. I expect you to think “outside the
box” for this assignment and write the piece as though it were going to be published in a
major newspaper. Be careful to avoid any semblance of plagiarism with these papers.I only
want to hearwhat is going on in your head about whatever topic you write on (again, not a
re-write of any media opinions).ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE
PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-
checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and
you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words
and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then
aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to
have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are
preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per
inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing
are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages
than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large
indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning
(space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of
a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must
be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of

2. each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark
ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
