RESEARCH PAPER
Please write a 5-6 page research paper in which you further develop a topic that we discussed in class. You will start from one of the texts that we’ve read in class and choose a topic of interest to you that is generated from the philosophical discussion of the primary text. The paper should be in MLA format, typed in Times New Roman, 12-point font with one-inch margins.
1. Paragraph 1: summarize the primary text from our readings
2. Paragraph 2: connect the general topic you are discussing to the primary text from our readings and explain your argument about the general topic: Ie. Women in the Middle East deserve to be equal to men and this shift in gender relations will improve Middle East/Western relations
3. Paragraph 3 and 4 : State the opposition to the argument you are making: While x may seem to be the logical argument, many authors suggest the opposite Include research on the opposite point of view for 2 paragraphs
4. Paragraphs 5- end: Prove that the arguments stated in Paragraphs 3 and 4 are incorrect
5. Conclusion: Connect the main argument back to the position that the primary text offered: ie. If you’re doing Mill and the role of women in the Middle East, show how your research reconnects with Wollstonecraft’s claims.
The paper should provide strong research, include quotes (both short ones that are integrated into your sentences, and longer ones that are blocked), and analysis of your quotes. You should also make proper use of summary and paraphrase.
