Final paper must be at least 15 pages, double-spaced (not including references, pictures, tables, or title page). Size 12 font, Times New Roman.

A key to this paper is to look at the issue from multiple perspectives. Thus, you must utilize at least TWO perspectives. Perspective is essential to the course and this paper so view your topic in the same manner.

APA format. A MINIMUM of 20 sources is required.

Elements of the Paper
1. Background: Every topic has to have a history, a background of information. Certainly some have longer backgrounds than others but the key is to accurately summarize the information so that it leads up to the heart of your discussion, the perspectives.

2. Examples/Evidence: While this can be touched upon a bit in the background, go through a chronology (again, can be annotated a bit if the evidence is so numerous) of the examples of how these issues have been dealt with over the years AND currently. While history is important, what are we doing today with regard to the issue? What are different groups doing to support their side of the argument regarding this issue? For example, how are migrant workers (legal and/or illegal) doing to state their case for health care access? What are politicians doing (Republicans, Democrats, Independents, certain political groups) to state their case regarding health care access? It is up to you to decide which current views and evidence to include.

3. Solutions and Conclusions: Based on elements 1 and 2, what solutions do you suggest to improve the health and well-being of those affected by this public health issue. For example, if you are doing E. coli foodborne outbreaks, what solutions would you have for producers of hamburger products or cookie dough? How could these solutions be implemented to please all parties involved, if that is ever possible? You could view this as how could we please people more than upset them with regards to solutions as it difficult to fully satisfy everyone.

I have included “drafts” of elements 1 and 2. Notes and sources are available to use.
