The Big Bad Research Paper

The time has come to unleash all the knowledge and power we have acquired to advocate for change. Aren’t we tired of all the bad news we’ve been reading? Who wants to continue to see and hear about our world dying, of our clean water and oil running out, of all the trees and the ecosystems that they allow to exist being destroyed, of people suffering through injustice after injustice, be it political, social or economic? Of nasty stuff, literal and metaphorical, that is in our fast food? Aren’t we ready for some change? Let’s talk change, people.

In this essay, you will write 6-7 pages of well-developed, fully-thought-out argument that presents the current state of affairs of your chosen issue (possibly from different angles) and a realistic, pragmatic solution.

All should be based on research to the best of your ability. You’ll want to work with 3-4 sources max. These sources may include ROS2, one documentary of your choosing, other articles we’ve read in class and your own research. Sources should be credible and reliable.

For your issue/topic: choose an issue that is local and/or relatively personal, affecting people and/or the environment and/or both.

This means you should focus on issues that affect San Diego county/Chula Vista or the TJ/SD border region, and that are related to you and your life pursuits in some way. Think of hobbies you already partake in, your college major, your job, your experiences, etc, to come up with an issue and/or solution. You may rely on things previously discussed in class, but you’re not required to.

No infographics, graphs or other visual support will be included.
