How to start the second writing assignment:
Look for an example of economic development (definition found in Chapter 8) OR the impact of globalization (found in chapter 11). Examples from class included: Victoria Gardens, Temecula wine region, the Mission Inn, The San Manual Stadium, etc. An easy way to find cases is to scan local newspapers like the Los Angeles Time, the San Bernardino Sun, and The Press Enterprise. Use their search engines with basic terms such as “economic development”. The more specific your search, the more you can find.
Remember that the paper MUST focus on the ROLE OF GOVERNMENT not just your opinion.
You need to briefly (1) describe the case, (2) identify the role government has played in the case, and (3) analyze the economic impact on the community.
Make sure you identify where the source of information came from. Citation is important to the assignment. If you are using direct quotes, they must be in quotations and properly cited.
DO NOT simply copy and paste an article! We are able to identify plagiarism and if you plagiarize, you will receive a zero.
NO LATE PAPERS.
