Intro Page
Purpose of Assignment
The purpose of this assignment is to examine a controversial or politically or publicly debated women’s health, obstetric or neonatal issue and present both sides equally.
Student Approach to Assignment
For this assignment I chose to argue both sides of the controversial topic of breastfeeding. Illustration of both sides is equally examined in the paper. The ultimate goal of this paper is to provide research and insight on both sides to allow the reader to come to an informed decision.
Reason for Inclusion of this Assignment in the Portfolio
This assignment is included in my portfolio because it shows my ability to illustrate two opposing sides in regards to the question that many mothers have, “Is breastfeeding best?” This paper portrays a non-bias opinion regarding the issue on whether mothers should breastfeed or bottle feed. This assignment required the writer to eliminate a personal opinion on the subject and identify pros and cons to both perspectives. In the nursing field, I will be caring for diverse patients with potential opposing views therefore being able to eliminate my opinion will be essential. The following end-of-program outcomes are identified below.
