Utilize APA 6.0 manuscript style including appropriate in-text citations in the body of your paper, and an APA-formatted “References” list. Your paper must be typed and double spaced, using 1" margins and appropriate pagination. It should include a Title Page, Table of Contents, and APA level headings.

Your paper should include at least 7 pages of actual content, not including ancillary pages such Title page, Table of Contents, References page, or charts or pictures in the Appendix.
