Paper Instructions:

You are to write a three page, double-spaced paper using Chicago Manual of Style, MLA, APA or what your discipline requires for citations and works cited. Use material from the textbooks and from presenters in class. You may need to augment this with other material from on-line or library research, but this is not intended to be a research paper, so do not do too much of that work. There is an extensive resource list at the end of the Johnson book. The library holds much material that you could use and you could tap into, especially on-line, and other resources such as magazines and newspapers. You should use at least 2 or 3 sources.

Begin with an opening paragraph that emphasizes your thesis. If you choose to write, for example, that diversity in the U.S. Is strengthens businesses in America, then include material to back your view. You could, conversely, argue that each time the U.S. becomes more tolerant of diversity, then a backlash follows, such as homophobia since the Matthew Shepard legislation. (See the Telegraph-Herald, Sunday, Oct. 14, 2018 issue or similar issues from other newspapers)

Remember that plagiarism is prohibited and the consequences for plagiarism can be severe. Be original and use your own ideas, express yourself and add what you think.

Include a bibliography or works cited page, using Chicago Style, MLA, APA or whichever format you chose.
