Change vs. Position

Arguing for a change and arguing a position are a lot alike. The only real difference is what you are arguing about. Arguing for a change involves convincing readers to do something, or change a particular behavior. On the other hand, arguing a position is convincing the readers to beleive something, or change their viewpoint on a certain subject. In the "Declaration of Independence," Jefferson talks about freeing the country from Britain. It is such a broad topic, which is quite unlike the topic of "Life Without Health Insurance." In Clarks essay, she is talking about the personal problems many people without health insurance face. In Jeffersons essay, he includes many examples to support his opinion, just like Clark does to support her point.
