In this assignment, you are writing a 350-700 word paper reflecting upon the type of research needed to solve the problem below. You are not required to give a solution to the problem, but rather to discuss the type of research needed. You are required to incorporate the concepts in Chapter 10 of the textbook into your paper, and cite in-text and cite all sources in full in your reference page.
The Problem: Suppose you live in a new suburban community that combines all the amenities and benefits of a close, small community with the benefits of living near the big city. Some years pass and several children and adults in the community start developing extensive and similar illnesses. You think this is clearly not a case of genetics, and you become suspicious that something has gone wrong in the development planning and execution of your community.
In the paper, answer these questions:
· What types of questions would you ask?
· Who would you talk to?
· What type of research would you conduct?
· How can you overcome the obstacles to critical thinking?
· Explain what strategies you would have applied, if actually investigating the problem, to help foster critical thinking and to help lead you to the root cause of the illnesses.
· What assumptions did you have to be aware of to ensure that they did not interfere with your critical analysis of the situation?
Format: You will use the Associate Level Writing Style Guide to understand how to format your work. The assignment should be formatted APA style, including a title and reference page, and with citations in APA format both in short in-text citations and in full in a separate page of your assignment for references. You will spellcheck and proofread the assignment for format, citations, grammar, spelling, and mechanics.
