For this assignment, please write a 1500 to 2000 word paper. It is essential that you be clear in your writing; whether in written or spoken form, the writing should be concise, accessible to an intelligent reader who is not versed in these ideas, and precise in the definition and use of terms. Clearly define key terms, and lay out a clear plan for the paper or presentation early on by clearly identifying your central argument. The argument is the star of the show, so make sure that everything else is in service of that.

·       Papers should be composed with double spacing and one-inch margins on all four sides.

·       Use proper APA, MLA, or style adopted by your primary school, but be consistent.

·       Be sure to process the paper using a spell checker (and grammar check is a good idea).
