This order's topic is the approaches to resolve this domestic violence which leads to poverty

Part 1: Research Summary

Conduct research into the areas identified by the group, as well as any additional aspects of the issue that interest you. This should clearly indicate the sources found, and the information you gathered from each.

Once you’ve completed your research, summarize your research into a document--essentially it’s your research notes. You’ll be referencing this during the deliberative discussion conference call in the next lesson, so design it as a resource for your own use. One common way to do so is to use headings to organize information by topic, and then to organize your information by sources within those headings.

Whatever you do to organize your notes, do be sure you keep track of your sources. You’ll be expected to mention sources during the deliberative discussion.

Part 2: Prepare Initial Thoughts on Approaches

Sketch out your initial thoughts on each of the approaches selected by the group. This might be most easily accomplished by listing each approach, and then including several bullets underneath that identify its strengths and shortcomings. Even if you prefer one solution strongly over another, try to identify the best arguments for and against each of the approaches.

Evaluation

This assignment prepares you for the upcoming deliberative discussion in Lesson 10, where your contributions will be evaluated based in part on how you use research within the flow of conversation. Thus, this written preparation is graded on completeness, since the points will be assigned during the discussion.

The upcoming deliberative discussion is one of the major projects in the course, so prepare accordingly. To check, you might consider whether you have enough research on the issue to write a medium-length essay on it. (To be clear: you’re not writing an essay; that’s just a thought exercise you can use to assess your level of preparation.)
