Point of View Papers Objective: In your work with clients, you will encounter many different value systems that are contrary to your own. It is imperative that you are aware of your personal belief system and are able to respect the values others may hold based upon their experiences. Directions: For both required POV papers, choose one question from the list below and complete a 2-3 page paper arguing both possible opposing responses. Consider factors that may influence an individual’s belief system such as religion, culture, family, personal experience etc. and identify examples for each factor. In your conclusion, discuss the level of difficulty you experienced in supporting the response that was contrary to your personal belief system. Each paper will be worth a maximum of 10 points. Late submissions will not be accepted!
Please submit POV papers with a cover sheet which includes your question and three clearly stated points to support both sides of the argument (There should be a total of 6 points with 3 for each side). These clearly identified points should be reflected throughout your paper as you argue in favor of each side of the question.
