Compose an essay of at least 2000 words but no more than 3000 words (not including your references list) in which you present an argument for one of the three following positions, making sure to give your critical thinking opinions (opinions plus reasons and evidence) wherever possible:
a. Affirmative Action should be terminated as a policy and practice of our government.
b. Affirmative Action should continue as is (that is, with no change).
c. Affirmative action should be continued with changes (you must specify the changes you would like to see).
Note 1: Remember that women, as well as minorities, are beneficiaries of Affirmative Action as it now stands.
Essay must be written in Arial font, size 14
Always name the author whose ideas you are discussing (use the author's full name the first time you refer to him/her; after that, identify authors by their last names).
Provide in-text citations for all ideas, opinions, and facts derived from readings, whether you simply refer to them, paraphrase them (put them entirely into your own words), or quote them. Place the in-text citation at the end of your sentence but before the period that ends your sentence. The in-text citation should give the author's last name (unless you've used it already in your sentence), the year of publication (if known), and the appropriate page number(s) from the reading (if page numbers are used in the online text of the essay). Do not use the title of the reading unless it does not have an author).
Here's an example of a citation for the Thomas Paine reading for Week 1: (Paine, 1776).
Here's an example of a citation for the John Locke reading for Week 2: (Locke, 1689, pp. 46-47).
Provide a References list at the end of your essay that includes bibliographic references for every reading cited in your essay.
Center the word References (do not underline it, place it in quotation marks, or place it in bold or larger size font).
Present your references.
Follow APA formatting guidelines for your list.
