Area 1 Topics

Area 1 topics are about conflict and are theoretical in nature.  Your interaction paper should:

1. Clearly define your purpose and clarify a specific question to answer.  Your purpose should be general in nature and serve to prompt a more specific question that you will attempt to answer.  For example, using the "Hillary Clinton as Peace Maker" topic, the purpose might be to explore how world leaders act as intermediaries to achieve diplomacy.  The specific question could be, "How has Hillary Clinton made attempts to maintain peace between the U.S. and hostile countries like North Korea and Iran?" 
2. Specify a method for how you will accomplish your purpose and answer your question. This step is a preview of your research, and you will briefly indicate the tools you used  to conduct your study.  You may use any number of methods: surveying literature or journal articles, conducting surveys, studying historical cases, etc.
3. Demonstrate your research.  In this section, you will provide the details of your research process.  Your input here should comprise the majority of your content.
4. Draw some conclusions you reached.  In this section, you will answer the question you posed in Step 1.  
5. Summarize the results of your research.
6. Give recommendations for further study.
