Instruction
Include the following in your essay:
1) The topic you have chosen and an explanation as to why it deserves attention.
2) How you think this topic is changing and the direction you believe it is moving toward.
3) What do you think are the causes and reasons of this problem?
4) And what is being done to fix this social problem?
You can choose from this list or look in our e-Text for a topic that you would like to know more about. Your essay should be 5-6 pages, in APA format summarizing your research. While all parts of your essay require you to respond in your own words, it is important to substantiate your argument with at least three academic sources, with one reference from your e-Text. The 2 other sources should include recently published academic articles from the Berkeley library.
Please reference the attached files where I stated why I choose this topic for my final paper and please use the articles that I cited to write the paper. I will add the links below.
