Worthy topics of argument are usually complex, approached by writers from different positions and angles. As a college writer, you should always explore different views of complex topics. For this project, you will first take the topic, change, and debate selected in Project 2 and write an inquiry-based research paper. This paper should address and answer the research question created in Project 2. The Research Paper Your goal is to take a stance on your subject which is supported by specific details and examples. Narratives may be used as one resource for development and support, but your paper should not be a “story” by itself.

You are required to use at least of 3 scholarly sources in this essay, a minimum of 5 sources total. Please do not use more than 8 sources.
