My chosen question is “How does social media affect political trust?” Please use references from at least two of the course readings which can be found on the syllabus.

The directions are as follows: Research Paper: Students will work on a substantial research paper on a topic of personal interest that resonates with the broad themes of this course (political attitudes and behaviour). There will be a handout on how to research and write the papers. Because I want you to get started early, your research proposal—topic, outline and bibliography (with a minimum of three academic references)—will be completed well ahead of time. The research proposal is expected to be succinct, roughly half to a full page. The final research paper should be between 7 and 10 pages, double-spaced. My chosen question is “How does social media affect political trust?” Please use references from at least two of the course readings which can be found on the syllabus. I’ve already done the research proposal, you can use that as a guide for what I want the paper to explor but the proposal is just a basis.
