This type of writing is used across the university curriculum and is essential for every student to master. It includes appreciating genres appreciating social contexts and historical movements between politics and philosophy, assessing people's needs and desires at a given time and place, assessing conflicts of interest, negotiating between competing interest, promoting one preferred solution or set of solutions, describing a given problem and suggesting a proper approach to that problem, admonishing a given audience about the perils of a wrong approach and providing people with relevant classification and documentation of the particulars, including an in-depth analysis of the best evidence and current arguments.
