What are some causes of the widening income gap? Which two factors do you consider the most crucial, and why?
— (1) Formulate your argument and (2) provide supporting ideas/details based on the course readings and external sources.
[Guidelines]
– Choose two factors that are most important to you and elaborate why you think the two are more important compared to other factors.
– Cite at least 2 academic articles assigned in class and 1 external source of your choice (e.g., news articles, policy reports) that effectively support your ideas. Briefly discuss their main arguments and connect them to your perspective.
– Avoid merely summarizing the articles. Strive to strike a balance between presenting your understanding and expressing your opinions.
– When citing external sources, ensure proper referencing (any citation style is acceptable as long as it is consistent).
– Please follow the formatting guideline in the syllabus and do not include your name anywhere in the content
based on criteria of clarity, accuracy, comprehensiveness, and organization. When writing
a paper, refrain from simply summarizing the readings. Detailed explanations for each criterion
will be posted on Carmen. Mini papers must adhere to specific formatting requirements: 12-
point Times New Roman font, single-spaced, with 1-inch margins all around. The expected
length for mini papers is between ½ and 1 page. Papers that are too short or too long will have
a negative impact on one’s grade.
