CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL ISSUES SUGGESTED RESEARCH PAPER TOPICS

POSITION PAPER - Each student will have a specific topic of debate e-mailed to your centenary college accounts. Students will have the option of taking the pro or con side of the debate, but your stance must be supported with academic and scholarly references. This means that articles, books, .gov/.org cites are only appropriate for use. All sources must be no more than five years old. The position papers are to be written in proper APA writing style.
