Any time you take a position and try to explain it, you're making an argument. Most of the sources you're gathering for your paper probably make arguments. Some of them will make strong arguments supporting the authors' personal opinions while others might make more moderate arguments explaining the reasons why some event occurred. However, they'll usually have the same basic structure – a main point supported by more specific ideas and evidence. Your paper will have the same kind of structure.
