Planning Document Submission

This document was made by you.

We are getting ready to resubmit a full project summary.

You do not have to rewrite the whole essay. Just go through the essay and make sure that each of these key points were evaluated and set up correctly.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Introduction: In this section, you will discuss your natural science issue and select resources that you can use to research the issue.
This will lead you to
the development of a research question related to your issue. Specifically, you should:

a. Describe the issue in the natural sciences that you have selected to investigate. Why is this issue significant?

b. Describe at least three science resources that you could use to investigate the issue you selected. Your sources must be relevant to your issue
an

d must be of an academic nature appropriate for the issue. In your description, consider questions such as: What are the similarities and
differences in the content of your sources? What makes them appropriate and relevant for investigating your issue? What was your thought
process when you were searching for sources? How did you make choices?

c. Based on your review of science resources, develop a specific question related to the issue you selected. In other words, what would you like to
know more about?

II. Body: In this section, you will use the natural science resources that you selected to investigate your question, focusing on an appropriate audience and
the scientific principles related to the issue. Make sure to cite your sources.
Based on your research:

a. Identify an audience that would be interested in your issue and the question you developed. For example, who would benefit most from hearing
your message, or who could best help in addressing the issue?

b. Describe how and why you can tailor your message to your audience, providing specific examples. For example, will your audience understand
scientific terminology and principles, or will you need to explain them? How will you communicate effectively with your audience?

c. Identify the natural science principle(s) that apply to your question and issue. For example, if your issue is global climate change, the principle
you might identify is that the sun is the primary source of energy for Earths climate system.

d. Explain how the principle(s) you identified apply to your issue and question. In other words, how are the natural science principle(s) you
identified relevant to your question and issue?

III. Conclusion: In this section, you will conclude your research investigation by discussing future directions for the debate on your issue. Specifically, you
should:

a. Formulate a hypothesis that addresses the question you developed. Make sure your hypothesis is based on your investigation of your question.

b. Explain how a natural scientist would go about collecting evidence to support or refute the hypothesis you formulated. In other words, what
would the next steps be if a natural scientist were to continue researching your hypothesis? Make sure to support your response with the
natural science resources that you selected.

IV. Provide a reference list that includes all of the science resources you used to investigate your issue and question. Ensure that your list is formatted
according to current APA guidelines (or another format, with instructor permission).

REWRITE OR PERFECT THE ESSAY. PROOF READ
IT IS PROVIDED ALREADY

Research Paper: Choose a topic listed

Research paper. There will be one research paper due at the end of the semester. The due date is indicated on the Course Outline. The paper should be approximately 3-4 pages in length, space and a half. The following topics are also posted on Canvas. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
Should employees have an expectation of a right to privacy in the workplace, e.g. electronic monitoring of computer usage, phone calls, video surveillance should be eliminated or restricted. Why or why not.
Should corporations have a social responsibility to act for the greater societal good and not merely to maximize returns for their investors. Why or why not.
Corporate officers should be held personally liable for the acts of subordinates even if they have no knowledge of any wrongdoing. Why or why not.
Former employers should be held liable to current employers for the acts of former employees who cause injury or death for failing to disclose violent behavior.
Damage awards should be capped for product liability suits (tort reform).
Should private technology firms (like Apple, Google) be requires to override encryption protocols in the name of fighting terrorism. Why or why not.
Are social media companies (like Facebook) liable for invasion of privacy for things like photo-tagging or sharing personal information with advertisers (data mining).
Your paper should analyze the topic from both sides of the issue and must have a Conclusion section with the students own thoughts/suggestions about your point of view. You must use at least 1 outside source and cite it at the end.
PLEASE NOTE: This project should be original work. Cutting and pasting in significant amounts, especially without attribution to the author, is not acceptable. If you do quote from a source, please follow proper citation rules. Also, please proof read your paper (read it out loud). Spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors detract from the quality and professionalism of your work product. Therefore, I will deduct points for those errors (up to 10% of the grade). Lastly, I will not accept late research papers.

Capstone Paper Draft

For this assignment, you are to submit a draft of your Capstone Paper. Your draft should be at least two pages, double-spaced, using 12-point font (Times New Roman, Calibri, or similar), and have at least two sources (ideally, one of the sources will be from your assignment in Module 5).
Your paper needs to minimally include the following:
A cover page with the proper APA formatting for a student paper in APA 7th. NOTE: You do not need an abstract or abstract page for your essay.
The Purdue OWL (online writing lab) is an excellent resource
An introduction: A good introduction performs three functions 1: Introduces your topic, broadly (potentially using some kind of statistic or source showing that it is a relevant concern in the world); 2: explains why the issue is a moral issue (using the tools of ethics, motivate your reader to see that youve identified a moral problem and that they should see it that way too); and 3: it states your thesis (a thesis statement is the statement you will spend the rest of the paper defending by the use of evidence and reason). Your thesis statement should be in boldface and should read something like this, In this essay, I will argue for a policy of cultural tolerance in medical contexts.
Great introductions also set-up a plan for the paper. Like this, In the first section of the paper, I define tolerance and review Macklins concept of tolerance. In the next section, I argue against Macklins view as too restrictive and present my own concept. I defend my concept of tolerance based on research in British hospitals. I conclude by offering some reasonable guidelines for implementing a policy of extensive tolerance.
At least three paragraphs sketching out the direction of your paper. This is a draft and the paragraphs can be sketchy, but you need to have some idea of where your argument is heading. All in-text references must be properly APA cited. Again, please see the Purdue OWL for assistance
You may also ask me, a college librarian, or a college writing tutor for help. Papers not cited in APA format will be given a grade of 0 with an option to re-submit.
