Need Writing assistance

Back in Project Part 1, you selected a topic from the following list:

2)      How did the world change after 9/11

This week, your draft of this paper is due. Your paper should be 4+ pages in length. At least 5 references should be used to support your main points. Quoted material should be avoided. Instead, please provide paraphrased research to support your main points that are accompanied with in-text references. Be sure to follow APA formatting guidelines. Your paper should contain section headings. Ensure that you provide a full overview of the topic that you selected. Your paper should reflect the amount of research that you conducted to learn everything possible about this topic.

Project Guidelines:

For the final project, you will combine this gathered information and present the following in an essay on your selected topic.

1. Introduce your topic.

2. Provide information on the background and history that relates to your topic.  Answer the questions: What events has led to the way the world views terrorism?  What were the underlying concerns that brought about this change?  What terrorist groups have made the biggest impact on the United States?  These are just example of the type of information that should be provided in this section.  However, each topic will provide unique and specific background information that will be required.

3. Include the description of the actual events that led to the development of terrorism prevention strategies.  Discuss exactly what is covered and (if appropriate) what is not covered by the Department of Homeland Security or any other agency dedicated to counterterrorism.  Demonstrate to the reader a comprehensive understanding of terrorism response by the United States.

4. A summary paragraph(s) on the topic to conclude the paper.

When writing the final project, you must demonstrate a knowledge of how to conduct research, how to use a minimum of five (5) scholarly/peer-reviewed sources (e.g. GMC Library), how to properly cite/reference sources using APA 7 formatting guidelines, and how to apply critical thinking skills within the analysis and presentation of your research results.   Textbooks are not  considered a scholarly/peer-reviewed source; however, they may still be included as a supplemental reference.

Be as  thorough as possible when writing your essay, and remember, this is an academic essay, so no “text-talk,” no conversational tone, and ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS… do not plagiarize.  Lastly, spell-check and proofread your work.  Failure to follow these steps will negatively impact your grade.

General APA Formatting Guidelines:

All papers are to have an APA 7 title page, APA7 abstract page, and an APA 7 reference page. The APA title page, APA abstract page, and APA reference page  DO NOT count toward the minimum page requirement.  Your body of work needs to be  4+ complete pages .
