You will write an analysis paper that will demonstrate your critical and constructive thinking. Choose a topic that you resonated with from the course readings (Chapter 6 gun control). Develop a policy or program that needs to be implemented right away in your state’s government that will curb the instances of injustices or solve a problem. Conduct research in order to define your solutions as you problem solve.

The class is Cultural Diversity -No more than 7 pages -Reference page APA format Social workers understand how racism and oppression shape human experiences and how these 2 constructs influence practice at the individual, family, group, organizational, and community levels and in policy and research. Furthermore, social workers understand the historical roots of social and racial injustices and the forms and mechanisms of oppression and discrimination. Social workers also understand how diversity and intersectionality shape human experiences and identity development and affect equity and inclusion. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is a hot topic with government and elected officials at this time in history. Affirmative action is being eliminated in schools across the country and with employers as well. Therefore, the research topic will allow you to draw conclusions from research articles, newspaper articles, YouTube and podcast presentations, and various other internet sources.

Assignment Instructions This analysis project requires you to tackle a problem within your field of study by first exploring it, its causes, and its impacts. Then, if you want, you can recommend one or more practical solutions to solve the problem. After deciding on the problem you wish to tackle, begin building questions about it. Your goal for the analysis is to answer the questions through your sources. Finding multiple angles and perspectives is ideal so that you explore those possibilities in the final paper before settling on your recommendation. Be sure to identify what is at stake. Here are questions to help guide your analysis: What is the problem being addressed (explain, describe, and “prove” that it exists)? Who is affected by this problem? Why does this problem exist? (Identify the root causes.) Why does the problem persist? (Identify the major factors that contribute to the problem’s ongoing presence.) What is at stake if the problem is not solved? If you decide to include a solution, use these questions to guide you: Who can take action? What should they do, exactly? Why would this help? What are the positive and negative aspects of your solution(s)? PURPOSE: To analyze a problem and possibly provide a solution AUDIENCE: Classmates, others interested in the field LENGTH: 750-900 words (Times New Roman font). Please do not go significantly (~10%) under or above the word count requirement. This word count includes only the paragraphs in your final essay (not the Works Cited/References page or previously submitted sections).
SOURCES: 5 (five) sources from the APUS Library (These may include sources you used in previous assignments. Going under this number will cost points in grading.) FORMAT: The citation style that is appropriate for your discipline Submit your assignment as a Word document attached to the assignment link so it can be automatically processed through Turnitin. You can save your paper with a title like this: Your Name Portfolio Final Paper.

Instructions:
A literature review is a very specific thing, and it is written in a specific way – So, Google it a little bit and search the library website to make sure you understand its purpose and to review some examples of literature reviews. For this assignment, your literature review should relate to the issue you identified in your white paper. A literature review sets the context for a subject by explaining what others have found in researching the same or similar issues. It is written in a narrative format. Check out this video to help you further prepare to write your literature review. This will not be the last time that you are asked to write a literature review in your academic career so it’s important to master this skill.
Title Page. Ensure you include your title, student name, date of submission.
Introduction. A literature review begins with an introductory paragraph in which the writer describes the research topic and its significance, and the specific issue, problem or concern. I suggest you frame your topic as a research question (e.g., “What are the legal constraints of using unmanned systems to collect intelligence on foreign adversaries within the borders of the United States?”). You should use your white paper as the starting point to build this section. You should then succinctly state what are the major studies and arguments related to your topic. If there are key terms to be defined, the writer should do that here. (1-2 pages).
Literature Review. The literature review should summarize, cite/reference and compare what previous scholars have written about your topic. The literature review should also critique what is right or wrong (or doesn’t go far enough) with these other studies, and where you believe future research should be conducted. Your literature review should organize the material by theme. This literature review should include a critical review of 10-15 or more appropriate articles, to include scholarly, peer-reviewed articles, material from government publications and reputable websites, or other topic-appropriate sources. (4-5 pages)
Conclusion. The conclusions should summarize the primary “sense of the literature,” encapsulating for the reader where the existing literature ends and your research will state as you seek to answer the question that still remains and add to the body of knowledge. (1 page)
References. Provide a “References” list on a separate page at the end of your literature review. The only sources that appear on this list should be the ones you actually make reference to within your paper. Your references should be in Turabian author-date style format.
You are encouraged to refer to Belcher, Wendy Laura. 2009. “Editing Your Sentences.” In Writing Your Journal Article in 12 Weeks: A Guide to Academic Publishing Success. Sage. This resource has an excellent step-by-step process for enhancing your writing. Additionally, you should refer to the University of Purdue’s Online Writing Lab (OWL) to find out more about writing a white paper. Title Page. Ensure you include your title, student name, date of submission.
Introductory Paragraph. A literature review begins with an introductory paragraph in
which the writer frames the research topic and its significance, and the puzzle that the
researcher is addressing. To do that, the writer will summarize the major relevant
arguments on the research subject, highlighting the main issues and how schools of
thought might differ. If there are key terms to be defined, the writer should do that here.
(1-2 pages).
Body. The body of the literature review tells readers what others have found in their
studies about your specific research question (the extent of existing knowledge on your
specific research question), critiques what is right or wrong with these other studies, and
discusses how the work is distinguishable from the research study you are proposing.
Your review should organize material by theme or method or what makes sense for the
project. This literature review should include a critical review of 10-15 appropriate
articles, to include scholarly, peer-reviewed articles, material from government
publications and websites, or other topic-appropriate source.
Provide citations for the ideas of different authors. You may use parenthetical citations
or footnotes. If you use parenthetical citations (Author Date) in the text, use
“References” format for the complete citations at the end of the assignment (4-5 pages).
Conclusion. The conclusion should summarize the primary “sense of the literature”,
encapsulating for the reader where the existing literature ends and your research will
start as you seek to answer the question that still remains and add to the body of
knowledge. (1 page)
References. Provide a List of References (or Bibliography if you used notes) in
Turabian format. Complete citations for the articles and sources you used in your
literature review.
