My proposed topic of choice for the Rogerian argument involves the controversy over giving teachers in the K-12 level tenure. This is a current hot topic as the economy is dropping and the need for steady jobs increases. There is also an increase in the focus of the education system, and so extremely relevant to today's problems.
I plan on being a proponent for the tenure controversy meaning that I believe that tenure helps keep teachers protected from unnecessary firing. I obviously need to research more into this topic as I only have this one point to back up my "claim".
I don't have a close tie to this topic but I believe that I can write an effective rogerian argument. I am not concerned with the amount of sources I can receive but I am with the scholarly sources. I need to find a recent article that would show both the pros and cons of this controversy.
My plan for the resolution or common ground is to keep tenure but perhaps increase the number of years before tenure can be applied to the teacher. I would also suggest keeping up-to-date evaluations of the teacher. These evaluations would be conducted by strict guidelines and reviewed by a board to suggest the fate of that teacher.
If I cannot find relevant sources, I can always try Kyleigh's Law in NJ with the requirement that you have to place red stickers on both front and back license plates.
