Discussion Paragraph



DISCUSSION PARAGRAPH

            Yesterday, I already shared about Causal paragraph. Now, let me share my knowledge about discussion paragraph.

Discussion Paragraph is paragraph that presenting two sides of a topic. Usually, it contains arguments for and arguments against and both arguments include an elaboration. Elaboration is sentence that support the arguments for or against. The elaboration depends on the level of understanding and maturity of the writer. And the elaboration usually based on the references.

This paragraph has some parts as follows:

1. Topic Sentence

Just like causal paragraph, it has topic and controlling idea.

2. Supporting Sentence

In this case, the supporting sentence is in form of arguments for and arguments against.

3. Supporting Detail

Supporting detail in this paragraph is in form of elaboration. It is used to support the arguments for or against and usually it is more than one elaboration for each arguments.

4. Concluding Sentence

It is used to give the best suggestion in choosing whether the readers agree or not by considering the consequences explained before in each elaboration.



            There is an example of Discussion Paragraph with the topic “Abortion”:

Abortion

Abortion is one of topic that is debatable for along time by people in the world. In some countries, experts think that abortion is allowed because of some considerations. Bisma Loan clarify that abortion is not murder, it’s usually performed in the first trimester of the pregnancy and can be kept within certain parameters of morality and medical ethics. Also the UK’s 1967 Abortion Act said that abortion as a substitute for contraception to control the natality. Then, a guy named Andy Kospa explained that legal abortion protect women’s health by helping avert serious medical complications such as hearth disease and kidney disease that could have resulted from childbirth. On the contrary, others think that abortion carries bad impact in human life. According to Kerby Anderson abortion is murder, killing an unborn baby would carry the same penalty as killing a born baby, because it has the same legal status as a born baby. Then, Linda Lowen a doctor said that abortion can result medical complications later in life such as ectopic pregnancies doubles and increasing pelvic inflammatory disease. Beside that, abortion causes cervical, ovarian, and liver cancer toward women with single and multiple abortions, it’s clarify by Sue Bohlin in her book “The Dark Underside of Abortion”. Although abortion is allowed in some countries, but it should be banned because it gives dangerous disadvantages and carries a risk of death.
