Stance is the term which depicts your position on the thing that you’re looking into. A stance in writing also allows the audience to understand what you’re pushing for or an idea that you’re attempting to convey. For example, if I were to write an argumentative essay on cats and dogs. If I argued that cats were better than dogs then my stance on this topic would be in favor of cats. The audience also understands that the essay would be an explanation of why cats are better than dogs rather than vice versa. 

Another example of this would be in the memo, a topic was chosen, that being Cleared4 and a stance was also chosen. My stance on this topic was that the system needs to be revamped and improved. You can see this in the second paragraph of the document.

I personally think that making a change to the Cleared4 system would be beneficial to all students and professor who enter the campus. The Cleared4 system was introduced around the Winter/Spring semester to accommodate students into the building with ease. Cleared4 was meant to be more efficient than an ID with a sticker serving as vaccination proof, but it does have its issues. Regarding Cleared4 link itself, the link corrupts or messes up occasionally forcing students to make a hard stop as they get to their next class. This results in them arriving late and being marked late for attendance which most professors don’t tolerate, and enough marks result in a decrease in the final grade.

This paragraph as stated earlier introduces the stance and allows the audience to understand what the intent of the document would be as it continues to develop.
