Consider the ideas we have discussed thus far in class with our readings/films (knowledge and individual power, community, individualism, personal and social conflicts, technology, etc.).
Regardless of how you focus your topic, remember that you must have a narrow, arguable topic that you are either supporting or arguing against in your essay. The purpose of your essay is that you are attempting to convince your reader of your argument as well. Your thesis statement/claim should reflect this.
You need to have a personal commitment to the topic, so select something that relates to your interests but is researchable and arguable. Make yourself an expert on this issue by reading widely and talking to authorities in the field, if possible. Take a clear stand on the issue, provide reasons and evidence for your position based on authoritative sources and offer concession and refutation of the opposing viewpoints. Five sources are required for a passing grade, including at least one scholarly source from the library databases. You must be able to find a variety of professional/academic sources on your specific topic, including but not limited to books, magazines and scholarly journals, newspaper articles, and online resources.
