How did/does the Heritage Act of 2000 in South Carolina affect public policy?

Final Research Paper Write a paper advocating a particular public action regarding your issue. By “public action” I mean some authority coming to a decision about a public policy. The authority might be a city council, a state legislature, the electorate of a particular area, a committee, or even an individual, such as a governor or mayor. Your audience is that authority: the person or group who will decide whether or not to enact the particular policy addressing your issue. Your paper should include the following parts, which I will discuss in this unit’s VoiceThread lecture:

• Exigence/thesis • history of the specific policy issue • Your arguments • Refutation • Conclusion • Works Cited and Consulted

This paper requires research. It must be documented according to the MLA style, and you should use in-text citations. There is no required length for the paper. However, as a general rule, you should think of 2000 words as a minimum (that’s 6 to 7 typed pages), not including your Works Cited and Consulted. If your paper is much shorter than that, you should think about whether you have done as thorough a job as you could. Similarly, you should think of five cited sources and ten more consulted sources as a rule of thumb. If your complete bibliography has fewer than fifteen sources, you should worry that you have not become an expert on your issue. At least two peer-reviewed, scholarly articles must be among your sources. At least one of those must be cited in your paper—either paraphrased or quoted.
