Project 1 Final Essay

So far you have completed a proposal and annotated bibliography of sources for Project 1. For the final portion of the project, you will need to compose a well-developed essay of eight pages (approximately 2,000 words) in which you draw on your research and our textbooks to answer the following questions:

1. What are the most important communication barriers that affect your chosen area of diversity? 
2. How is this group affected by discrimination, prejudice, stereotypes, or ethnocentrism? 
3. What communication strategies can help to improve communication for this group and reduce discrimination, prejudice, stereotypes, or ethnocentrism? 

Remember, your essay needs to focus on the topic you proposed and researched in the Module 2 and Module 3 assignments.

Your essay should be approximately 2,000 words and adhere to APA guidelines for formatting, citations, and references. For academic essays, it is important to remember that the majority of the essay should be written in your own words. While you can (and should) use brief quotations from your research to support your analysis, you need to place quoted material in "quotation marks" and use in-text citations whenever you refer to information from a source. Quoted material should make up no more than approximately 10–15% of an academic essay. The rest should be in your own words.
