In this assignment, you will identify the topic for your final project. It is brief, but requires some thought and a little research.

First, identify a moral issue in your local community (Maryland). You may find this in a number of ways, including direct experience in your local community, a local newspaper, local radio, etc.

In a paper at least 400 words long explain how the issue you have chosen is a moral issue.

Provide at least two references that show you will be able to do research on this issue.

Submit to your assignments folder.

Note: If you are not well-integrated into your community (maybe you just moved, or are stationed away from home with the military) ask your instructor if you can write one of the topics you'll be discussing in this course. You may also ask permission to examine a different topic. Ask your instructor early on so you can submit this assignment on time.
