Argumentative essays are a specific type of writing in which you choose a topic (sometimes a controversial one), research it extensively, and then use the evidence gathered in your research process to establish your own opinion and persuade your reader to share that opinion.
A successful argumentative essay will include:
1. a clear, concise and defined thesis statement
2. social and factual context
3. your argument(s), supported by evidence
4. counter arguments
5. conclusion
6. bibliography
