Explaining a Concept Research Paper -
In the Explaining a Concept Paper, you will simply want to explain a concept of your choice, using research to support your explanations/definitions. This paper should be at least 4 pages long (or least 1000-1500 words, not including the final Works Cited), it should include at least two sources, and it should accomplish the following:
Inform your particular audience about a specific subject.
Present information confidently and efficiently.
Use established information for support, as well as personal "evidence" (if applicable) such as short anecdotes and examples from your own experience, or the experience of others.
Maintain an informative tone (not an argumentative tone, as this is not an argumentative or persuasive paper).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Papers on the following topics will not be accepted:
abortion
capital punishment
euthanasia
These topics are far too controversial for the Explaining a Concept Research Paper, which should be informative (not persuasive) in its purpose. Also, I've already read more papers on these topics than anyone should in an entire lifetime, so I won't read anymore. I encourage you to be more creative in selecting your topic.
