Essay(1800 -2000 words)

Technology, Ethics, and Global Society

Term Paper: Final Paper

Term Paper: General Description

I Have already finish the topic proposal and problem statement/bibliography, you just need to finish final paper part

In this class, you will write a 1500-2000-word paper on a topic of your choice related to the social, economic, ethical, and environmental global implications of technology. In the final paper, you will discuss the ethical implications of the problem you have chosen, you will be asked to take a stance on it (supported by at least 5 references), and propose one or more solutions.

The term paper counts for 20% of your final grade and will consist of the following milestones, which will have their own deadlines:

Component	% of Term Paper grade	% of Final Grade
Topic Proposal	20	4
Problem Statement and Annotated Bibliography	30	6
Final Paper	50	10

Final Paper

In the final paper, you will build on your prior assignment to compose a final compelling argument. You will add a title, and introduction and conclusion paragraphs to frame and wrap up your argument.

Format:

· Title: add a title that summarizes your stance and the problem addressed

· Length: 1500-2000 words (excluding the bibliography section).

· Font size: 11pt or 12pt

· Line spacing: double

· Make sure to break your paper into clearly visible paragraphs.

Bibliography:

You must incorporate at least 5 in-text citations that clearly back up your claims with evidence. The bibliography does not need to be annotated. Here are some additional requirements:

· Every in-text citation must be listed in the bibliography and vice-versa: every item in the bibliography should be cited somewhere in the text.

· In-text and bibliographic citations must all be in a standard and consistent reference format (e.g., ACM, MLA, Chicago, etc.).

· You should incorporate at least five credible references:

· At least 2 of the 5 references must be peer-reviewed research papers

· At least 3 of the 5 references should be sources you located on your own, and which were not assigned readings for the course.

Contents:

Your paper should consist of an introduction paragraph, the main body (two or more paragraphs), a conclusion paragraph, and the bibliography.

· The introduction paragraph should:

· Clearly and succinctly identify the issue you have investigated: What is the problem?

· Clearly and succinctly state what you think should be done in response to this problem. This is your thesis statement.

· Briefly summarize the argument you will make in support of your thesis; give the reader a roadmap for what’s to come in the rest of the paper.

· The main body should:

· Describe the problem. As you write this section, you should be thinking about how to describe the problem, and also how to convince someone else that your problem is important.

· What is the problem? What makes something wrong/unethical/bad? What is the scope and impact of the problem?

· Why is it important — to computer science, and to society? What will happen if no action is taken?

· How did this problem arise? What caused/causes it? What is its history? What are some previous attempts to address the problem? Were they successful? Why or why not?

· Describe a proposal for action. As you write this section, you should be thinking about how to explain your proposal, and also how to make your case compelling.

· What should be done in response to this problem? What should computer scientists do? What should others do?

· How will this action impact the situation? What kind of solution are you proposing — an immediate but temporary solution, a long-term transformation, something else?

· Why is your proposed action the right action to take? How likely is it that your solution is possible? Are there intermediary steps to take along the way, first?

· The conclusion paragraph should:

· Briefly recap the issue: What is the problem?

· Clearly re-articulate your thesis statement: What should be done?

· Summarize the arguments you presented in the body of the paper in support of your problem identification and proposal for action.

· This is the place to recap your prior arguments and drive your point home. You should not present new evidence or make new arguments in the conclusion.

· Bibliography: See above.
