As a requirement for this class, you must write a research paper. You may suggest a topic for your paper and your topic may be based on a subject that you are particularly interested in or feel very passionately about. All suggested topics must be teacher approved. Your knowledge and perspective on the topic must be supplemented with outside sources (research) and solid evidence. The requirements for this paper are as follows:
Ø Length: 5-7 pages (double-spaced)
Ø Type: Times New Roman-12 font
Ø Sources : A minimum of 5 sources
Ø Citation: Must conform to MLA style
There will be specific due dates for the assignments leading to the completion of the final paper. Each component of the paper will be weighed based on the following percentages:
TASK WGT
· Topic Approval & Thesis Statement (10%)
· Copies of Sources (10%)
· Outline (10%)
· Annotated Works Cited Page (20%)
· Final Paper (50%)
Keep in mind that the objective of this paper is to defend your position on a particular topic. The main focus of your research should serve to support your position, but keep in mind that a fraction of your work must highlight opposing perspectives and viewpoints (contrary to the perspectives and viewpoints you are aiming to support) so that you may strengthened your claim by refuting any existing opposition.

Mr. Smith
Research-Based Paper:
For the next three weeks you are to engulf yourself in a topic, supplement your interest with research, develop a clear, arguable thesis which provides clear reasons that are, in turn, supported by solid evidence.
DO NOT FEAR! While the research paper in title and scope seems daunting, it is something that you’ve had a lot of experience with for most of your academic lives. This semester we have read various personal essays where the writer argues or persuades the reader to do or invoke some degree of acceptance of their position. This paper is your opportunity to persuade others on a position you are passionate about. With that in mind first and foremost you must select a topic which will sustain your interest as well as the research process.
A few basic requirements:
Ø Length: 5-7 pages (double-spaced)
Ø Type: Times New Roman-12 font
Ø Sources : A minimum of 5 sources (5-7 total)
Ø Citation: conforms to MLA style
There will be specific due dates for assignments leading to the completion of the final paper. These benchmarks
TASK WGT
· Topic Approval (5%) DUE _______
· Statement of Difficulty letter (20%) DUE _______
· Annotated Works Cited (20%) DUE _______
· Outline (15%) DUE _______
· Final Paper (40%) DUE _______
Please note a few precautions to start. Your evidence should be properly evaluated. Note that some common Internet sites (i.e. Wikipedia) are not reputable. At least part of your evidence must come from at least two essays that present interesting opinions on your topic. You must do outside research for this paper!
Remember in presenting a researched argument that your claim should be what you consider to be the “best solution” to the topic’s issue question. In doing so, please provide the proper attention to opposing viewpoints.
Below is a list of topics that may assist in getting started. Spend some time considering angles and questions that may stem from these to consider. You are not limited to these in any way! Consider them as they best fit into what you would like to argue.
Paper Topics:
Choose Your Topic
Choose your own narrowed topic on an issue within the subject of belief. Your research topic must be related in some way to the works we’ve studied over this semester. You may consider any issue about which you feel passionate, but you must have your topic approved so that I understand your direction. Ideas include:
Tim O’Brien ----------War
Barry Lopez ----------Environment
Alan Dershowitz ----------Civil Liberties
William Safire---------- Gun Regulation

Violence ----------Sports
Gender Limits---------- Media
Public Education ----------Immigration

INFORMATION CENTER RESARCH QUESTIONS
Many Nazi doctors and scientists justified their “experiments” as advancing their nation and the cause of science.
QUESTION 1 In light of historical evidence, and codes of accepted practices how do these justifications and experiments conflict with the concept of social and moral righteousness?
QUESTION 2 Is it really ethical to use the data-that is- the results of these experiments? Can their use be justified? If what happened is now history, is it okay to look at this data? (“what’s done is done”)
You should use the list of modern experimental guidelines that is on the reverse of the Milgram handout.
