Research Paper is an argumentative paper. The paper must be debatable and must supply other perspectives that are opposite of your opinion. An argumentative research paper consists of an introduction in which the writer clearly introduces the topic and informs the audience exactly which stance the writer intends to take; this stance is often identified as the thesis statement.
The purpose of this assignment is to have students focus on a problem or issue, make a logical argument, and assert a position. During your research, you will not simply describe a topic, but critically give thoughts and opinions about it, while drawing on ideas and theories from others in the field who have written about the topic.

Write a 4 – 5-page paper (no more than 5 pages) (not including the title page, reference page or any appendices used), with a minimum four level one headings to include the Conclusion, and a minimum of six references, to include peer reviews. Incorporate peer review feedback into paper as appropriate.
