Is the disposal of the United States e-waste to third world countries ethical?

First, you will craft a research question that will propel your learning and investigation. As is often the case with scholars, personal experiences or observations can provide the catalyst for complex and important research projects that contribute to a larger and growing dialogue about a specific issue.  Reflecting on a specific global concern/transnational controversy/issue impacting a nation other than the U.S., consider how some element of your experience (including questions you’ve encountered and/or observations you have made) relates to this broader situation, issue, or controversy and use this experience to formulate your research question.  Keeping in mind this essay will be part of a larger research project, consider the stasis theory as you develop your research question.  Focusing on a question in one of the first few stasis categories, like conjecture or cause, will provide an opportunity to pursue questions in the value or action stasis in a later research paper.  You might even develop a research question situated in the action stasis and then in a later paper address jurisdiction.  To help you brainstorm and familiarize yourself with the various debatable questions related to the issue you have chosen to focus on, you will be completing the “Developing Issue-Based Questions” activity.  You will then use this activity to develop a proposal detailing your research question, personal investment or interest in the topic, and intended academic audience. You will craft your essay with these goals in mind:·Clarify for your audience the issue itself, the exigence of the topic, and the importance of the research question you raise;·Persuade your audience to attend to the many approaches stakeholders and scholars take in regards to this issue;·Use your research to help your audience see how other stakeholders are addressing and thinking through this research, drawing out the multiple perspectives and concerns these stakeholders hold and raise.In sum, a successful essay will (1) do the work that the title of the assignment conveys: it will persuade audiences that this issue and the question is important, timely, and consequential, and (2) it will offer multiple responses to the question and/or perspectives on the issue. The end result then is not to complete the investigation or take a position on the issue but to assert the importance of the issue and to display for your readers the array of perspectives and responses people have regarding the issue.
