Check https://literaryterms.net/polemic/ for helpful descriptions and examples.

In your final work – the Polemic, “streamline” and connect the ideas from your 3 sections, you are free to add new ones, or remove any you previously considered in the sections, but may now feel out of place – complete your Polemic as one succinct piece. Name your polemic appropriately.

As you can see at https://literaryterms.net/polemic/ & as I explained in our course intro: – The goal of polemic is to show why one position is wrong or faulty, (and where is the error) not prove why the other position is right. – You will I need to support your statements with facts and citations, even though your goal is not proving your opinion is right.

take a position against an issue —-> have solid reasons behind that position
• remember, a polemic is an argument, not just the identification of a problem—polemic needs a stand to be strongly against something, and in clear support of one side.

Follow these steps to develop a successful polemic:
• Identify two opposing viewpoints on an issue (Harari vs yours)
• Decide your point of view
• Find the problems and weaknesses of the opposing view
• Powerfully argue against that opposing view
• express opinions clearly and without ambiguity (with evidence)
• argue against things you see as major problem in Harari: Homo Deus and try to explain the changes you believe in (and why)

The book Harari: Homo Deus starts with a Chapter 1: The new Human Agenda; It represents the summary and logical conclusions based on the ideas and historical evaluations presented in the following chapters. This Chapter provides the logical conclusions Harari arrived to, and as such, you may consider it as the basic target of your Polemic. While you will not have additional 10 chapters to support your text, you should arrive to concise text within which ideas are logically connected and supported by evidence (like the Chapter 1 in Harari).

Remember that your Polemic should be written in a manner that would not be considered stereotypical or discriminatory. Refer to writing hints on the Course Outline. You can use the IEEE citation format or APA.
