BE CREATIVE IN YOUR CHOICE. Find and copy a minimum of 4 reliable, informative, in-depth, current articles. Using the information gathered from these articles and your textbook, write an interesting, well organized paper.

The paper will be divided into 5 sections: short introduction, detailed discussion supporting the issue, detailed discussion arguing against the issue; your opinion based upon your reading; and short conclusion. Include an international view in both the pro and the con section. Label each section.

This is not to be written as a review of article 1, article 2, and article 3. Each section needs to include multiple sources. The information must be merged into an interesting, well organized, well written paper.

When submitting the paper, include the copies of all the articles cited in your paper or I will return it ungraded. When you decide on the topic, write your name and topic on the signup sheet.
