Activity Instructions
For this assignment you should pick a topic that could include all of these objectives. Your capstone paper topic should NOT just be explanations of the above objectives; it should be a topic from current events that would allow you to show understanding of the above objectives.
Find current articles from reputable sources (books, newspapers, journals, internet articles, etc) to support your discussion. You should incorporate vocabulary and information from the textbook, but the textbook should not be your only resource. Wikipedia is NOT an acceptable source and is not allowed to be used.
Your research paper should not simply be filled and cited research. You should use the research to discuss your topic, your opinions on the topic and your conclusions on the topic. Analysis should be a large portion of your paper. Analysis consists of incorporating the concepts that you have learned throughout the semester into your paper. This paper should be considered a way to show that you have a comprehensive understanding of this course and understand how the concepts presented in the course apply to the “real world”.
You must cite all sources using APA style citations. If you do not cite your sources you will receive a 0 for the class and an academic dishonesty mark will go into your permanent record. Your paper will be turned into Turnitin.com to ensure academic honesty.
