This project will require you write a at least 5-6 page (Not including works cited page or graphics), double-spaced research paper. Your paper will be well researched, fully cited, written professionally, and proofread. This paper will give you the chance to explore one topic of your choice about globalization in greater detail. Your paper will be organized around a central question. The question could be that same as one of the issues discussed in class, or it could be one that you develop on your own. The following topics are just some examples:

Does global urbanization lead primarily to undesirable consequences?

Should the World continue to rely on Oil as the major source of energy?

Is the threat of global warming real?

Is the International community adequately prepared to address global health pandemics?

Is the global economic crisis a failure of capitalism?

Is social media becoming the most powerful force in global politics?

Will China be the next Superpower?

Is religious and cultural extremism a global security threat?
