Please upload your working claim statement here. Your claim statement should be submitted as an attached word document; do not type it in the comments section. Be mindful that your claim statement should be only one complete sentence that includes a qualifier (should, must, or ought), as well as appropriate rationale.

Your claim statement should NOT be anything more than one detailed statement (sentence)--do not submit an entire paragraph. This assignment is designed for me to gage the overall direction of your argument only.
