one of the topics listed below to write an 8–10-page research paper on. (8-10
pages excluding the title page, reference list, appendices) Your paper MUST be

display and not a string of quotes written by published authors. Your analysis
is what is needed for a successful paper. At this point in your educational
journey, you should have solid substance and proper academic formatting in your
college-level writing assignments. Students will be graded on both so make sure
you turn in your best work. Do not wait until the last minute to research,
write, format, and edit. Proper time management is required to turn in a
