Three premises opposing you own position needed to be examined in terms of helpfulness, believability, and conditions of truthfulness. Your project also needed to include an introductory and concluding paragraph with the main ideas addressed in the body of the project, using complete sentences and adhering to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics and spelling. This assignment will expand from the 1st.
