Write up a formal paper in which you explain how your concepts are refelcted in/applicable to your chosen current event/issue. You will integrate scholarly literature (a minimum of four scholarly sources beyond those readings assigned in class) into the development of a cohesive, well-reasoned argument to make your case. [You should use at least two scholarly sources for each concept]. Although you are welcome to use your textbook and other class readings in your paper, these will not be counted toward the four-source minimum requirement.
The essay must include a title page and reference page. The body of the paper should be 5-7 pages in length (i.e., page count excludes title page and reference page). The argument should be well structured and well supported. The paper should be well organized (intro, body, conclusion) and well written.
Other requirements: Assignment should adhere to APA guidelines (e.g., font Times New Roman, 12-point size, one-inch margins, double-spaced). No abstract needed. Also, please submit your paper as a Microsoft Word document or PDF (do not use text or pages).
