Paper 2--Final Research Paper

Final (Second) Research Papers (a WIC paper): Due at the beginning of class 10
You should take a position on an international political topic and support this position. Essays should be focused and well-organized. Use several sources: books, journals/magazines, newspapers, the internet, and cite them in APA format. Please avoid using all first- and second-person pronouns. Here is a possible way of organizing your paper.
I. Introduction with thesis, i.e. your main argument
II. Historical Background/Context
III. Your argument, with examples/cases and/or logical reasoning to back up your points
IV. Counter-arguments: write as if critiquing your own argument to locate flaws and opposing points
V. Synthesis/Conclusion: Answer potential criticism. Explain the final points of your argument. What have you learned? What has your paper explained?

This paper should be 3-4 pages long and you should cite 4-5 different sources. Be sure to include in-text citations, or 10 points will be deducted.
