Topic: Prejudice and Discrimination in the Modern American Society.
Write an introduction to your topic that incites interest and depicts the need for the study.
Why should the reader be interested in this topic? What should the reader hope to gain from this project?
Find a quotation, anecdote, news item, or some other element on the topic that can incite such interest as you open your paper.
Then, briefly describe the reasons for this choice of the topic and study, along with the other elements required as indicated below.
Keep in mind, academic writing is supposed to be as objective and dispassionate as possible, which means you should avoid a conversational tone, all slang, and writing in the first or second person. Try wherever possible to write in the third person throughout academic writing.
Even if there is some personal aspect that is to be addressed, there are ways to format such writing that do not involve using the first person.
This written assignment must include the following:
Introduce the topic.
List the key words used to refine your topic or problem statement.
Provide the purpose of the paper (analyze).
Identify intended audience (general).
Indicate your voice as the writer (informer).
Identify key points or main question to be studied.
Draft a preliminary problem statement, thesis statement, or opening hypothesis that includes mention of the context of your topic.
Provide a summary.
