Too Tired? Too Anxious? Need More Time? We’ve got your back.
You will choose a current issue of social justice (POVERTY) in the U.S., research it, and write an
analysis of the topic, using support from your research.
Analyze: Break it down into parts. Tell about each of the parts.
Support: Back up the information; provide evidence; prove it.
Some questions to consider while researching and writing about your topic:
Why is this topic controversial? (Controversial (adj): relating to or causing much discussion, disagreement, or argument)
What are some of the causes?
What are some of the effects?
Who does it affect? (who = social class, race/ethnicity, age range)
Is it happening over the U.S., or are there regions where it is more of (or less of) an issue?
What needs to happen for it to change?
What is being done about it? What is NOT being done about it?
Who (person, group or organization) might have the power to improve or fix it?
All papers must be typed, double-spaced, and carefully edited, following APA format. The paper should be 3-5 pages in length and include documentation (use of articles
from current journals). More than five (5) grammatical errors is unacceptable.
