Your Assignment:
Identify a cultural issue of global concern (student’s choice with instructor approval) and compose a 10 – 12-page paper in APA format (not including the title page, abstract, nor reference page), noting historical, current and future concerns surrounding the cultural issue.
When I say cultural issue of global concern, this means the issue could be a cultural issue within the United States that has ramifications in other countries, but ideally, you will identify a unique issue outside of the United States borders, one that you were not familiar with prior to your research, that has ramifications in other countries. The issue you choose should not be an issue largely isolated within the United States. (Please re-read and ponder what I am asking here before jumping to a topic. Think about it.)
A well-balanced variety of properly documented research sources are to be used. Compose your paper following the 7th edition of APA format. Cite a minimum of fifteen authoritative sources are required, at least 10 of which cannot have been published prior to 2018. You must use parenthetical citations within your paper refering to the sources you chose.
When and where did the issue occur? Is it ongoing, or has it been resolved? What is the historical context?
What sparked the issue?
Who (people and countries) is involved?
Why is this important? For us, U.S. citizens, as well as foreign countries and its citizens?
How will/did the ramifications from this issue affect the global community? How could effective communication solve the issue? You should devote ample time to this question.
How is this event relevant to topics covered in this course? Connect the issue to the textbook and illustrate your ability synthesize course material with global issues!
