Mandatory ElementsThe Problem (3 points) Goals: select a problem and describe it in detailProblem History (3 points) Goals: tell me about the history of the problemExpert Solutions (3 points) Goals: describe 3 distinct solutions coming from different expertsYour Opinion (3 points) Goals: tell me what you think should be done and whyMiscellaneous: Writing/Spelling/Grammar/Citation/Following The Rubric (3 points)Total (15 points) Choose a problem either America or the state of Oklahoma is facing that you think is important. My advice is to pick something you’re interested in or passionate about.It is important to be specific when choosing your problem. For example, saying “American foreign policy” is a problem is much broader than pointing to a specific nation with which our relations might be problematic. Saying education is a problem in Oklahoma might be true, but a paper that focused on a specific element of education that is especially problematic would lead to a better end product.Please do not write on the same topic you chose for the “Civil Rights Today” essay.The paper should be 5 pages doublespaced. If you go over this amount, that is fine (but beware—exceeding the page limit often illustrates poor editing skills).I am open to broad definitions of who might have solutions to the problem you’re writing about. It could be elected officials, think tanks, academics, leaders of interest groups, and so forth. It should be individuals or groups with knowledge and/or power to be involved on this issue though. Every solution must have someone (a person or group) advocating for it. The three solutions should come from 3 distinct entities (in other words, don’t tell me 2 ideas a single person has, for example).In the section where I ask for your opinion, you can tell me your own potential solution or tell me which of the 3 expert solutions is best and why.Please proofread carefully (spell check and grammar check in software programs won’t typically catch everything).Research must be original to this class; in other words, don’t use material you’ve written for other papers in the past.Late papers will lose 20 percent of the points possible for each 24 hour period following the due date.
