A position paper is comprised of the following parts:

Identify an issue. It can be anything that pertains to human resources. It can be from the textbook, an incident at work, something from the internet, or something in the news. You select the topic. Describe the circumstances and frame your topic.

Take a position. You can agree or disagree. You can take a position that what happened was right or wrong, good or bad, or should have been handled that way or not.

Defend your position. Why do you feel your position is correct and accurate?

Discuss the opposing view. Why would someone disagree with you? What would their reasoning be?

Summarize and conclude your paper.

Paper should be two to three pages
