Paper 2 : Text Based Research Paper
Overview : In this unit, we have discussed current issues about the Corporate Social Responsibility. Our readings have focused on the benefits of CSR as well as the criticisms of CSR initiatives. We have looked at the issue from the perspective of the corporations, the consumers, as well as those benefiting from the initiative.
Task : You will be writing a paper that starts with a question or problem related to our discussions on CSR that requires collecting facts, opinions, and perspectives from various texts. You need to analyze the texts, identify grounds for grouping the textual components, and organize this textual material under one or more controlling themes. The purpose of this paper is to unravel or unfold a topic or question concerning CSR’s effects on society to make it clearer to the readers and argue for a particular viewpoint or position based on this research.
You are required to synthesize the information from at least three sources. Two or more of these sources must be outside sources found using the library’s databases. You may use the readings discussed in class for support for your paper, but you will still need an additional two outside sources. Any information retrieved from the Internet must be credible and appropriate as discussed in class. Your paper should be in APA format and 5-6 pages in length excluding your reference page.
Procedure : 1. To begin we will analyze select readings from our class anthology. 2. Next, we will study chapters from the Engaging Questions textbook to understand appropriate text-based
research. 3. You will research your topic using the Love Library and provide a detailed annotated bibliography of the sources
you read to prepare for this assignment. 4. You will organize your paper based on the activity in class and develop a graphic organizer of your paper’s outline. 5. Finally, you will submit your paper to Turn It In on Blackboard.
