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.
