The four (or more) sources simply need to be reputable academic or journalistic sources. Things like journal articles, newspaper articles from the NYTimes or other public papers, or even online/streaming resources like documentaries are fine.
The paper can be double spaced, but it does need to be 5 pages long. Please follow the instructions I’ve written below, as they give you a layout for the paper–first the summary of the topic, then a summary of the main arguments you found (could be pro and con, but often may be more nuanced than that), what you’ve learned from studying the topic, and then whether or not you agree or disagree and why.
You will be required to write a five-page position paper. You will need to research a topic in the area of racial and ethnic diversity and take a position on that issue. For example, you can research any of the following and take a position on that respective area: education, immigration, politics, affirmative action, inequality in the criminal justice system, racial profiling, police brutality, gerrymandering, voting rights, or access to healthcare. You choose a topic that is of interest to you and please note, it does not have to be one that I listed. You will be required to include the following: a summary of the topic, a summary of the different positions that have been taken on the issue, what you have learned from studying the topic, and whether you agree or disagree with the issue. This paper must have a minimum of four sources, be typed with a 12-point font, properly cited, have a reference page, and must be written in a formal manner.
