Hi, 

Your lead-in ideas are okay, but you do not have a thesis. Create a thesis after reviewing the Announcement about thesis statements. Create the specific issue, the reader, and the significance of the issue. Your thesis must be exact. The reader must know what issue you intend to prove; which side you support; to whom you are directing your argument; and the significance of proving that issue true.

In your in-text citations, you incorrectly list multiple authors; do not include the source titles or page numbers; do not quote specific details taken from sources; and do not cite entire passages until the end of the paragraph so the reader does not know what you cited.  For the references, you use inconsistent point and font, present some sources as hard copy but do not include complete details; and incorrectly present some electronic sources. Please read chapters 26 and 28 in our course textbook which explains how to use in-text and documentation citations.    If you still have questions, send me a copy of the resource information you are using as your example for each citation in your paper and in your reference list that you do not understand so I can better understand why you might be confused. 

Your in-text citations and reference list must follow the APA requirements for the specific source type you used.

In-text citations must clearly indicate exactly what information is borrowed from a source.

Citations must cross-reference, and your citations must reflect each type of source (e.g. hard copy books, magazines, videos, online newspapers, web pages etc.) using exact format and content.

Check your APA resource example. Review the DeVry tutorial and the APA documentation in the textbook. Check each format and content requirement then send me your questions if you do not understand what corrections to make.
