Problem

The problem that would like to focus on is gun violence in the neighborhoods, due to lack of funding.

- Why is this problem important to you? Include a specific example of the problem's impact on you. You should write a complete paragraph of 5-7 sentences.

This problem is important to me personally because my husband and I were victims of gun violence and my husband passed due to his injuries. Over the last few years shootings have become more popular in my neighbor due to the lack of programs closing. The city has closed libraries, after school programs and PALS where children used to go to keep them off of the streets. Now that these establishments are closed children are being recruited by local gang members forcing them to engage in dangerous activities. Children feel like the community has given up on them and there is no future for them so they have no choice but to turn to the streets.

CONSIDER THE ETHICS

- First, discuss the purpose of your sources-do they present information in a persuasive way or an informative way? Then describe the affiliations or positions your sources have and discuss how you identified those affiliations and positions.

- Discuss the variety of perspectives or opinions that your sources express. Does at least one of your five sources present an argument that opposes or debates your potential solution to the problem you're addressing? Briefly describe some of the different perspectives you found.

- Discuss how your sources present secondary information. Do they cite sources of their own? How can the claims made in your sources be corroborated for accuracy? Do any of them contain information that you could see being disputed?
