The problem you will study will be assigned soon after you take the syllabus quiz (where you identified your interests in particular project topics). Then, research and thoughtfully respond to the questions below in a 600-800-word essay. Meet all of the criteria listed in the grading rubric. Cite at least three academic sources (in APA format) to support your arguments. Refer to APA tutorial in Unit 2 for details on how to cite in APA format correctly. Although you can use your textbook as a source, it must be in addition to at least three other sources.
