STEP ONE: Find a topic. Pick a problem which is multi-causal and can be fixed (or at least made better)
STEP TWO: Explore the topic. Research the problem to find possible causes. Keep your mind open & go wide at this stage.
STEP THREE: Submit an annotated bibliography. This should document the sources you have consulted, but each source does not have to be used in your essay. You may also use other sources in your essay if you find them after you submit your annotated bibliography.
STEP FOUR: Write the essay. Even though your format may vary somewhat from this template, the paper should have the following components:
- Introduction (a hook)
- Prove problem exists: Use statistics etc. to prove the problem exists in society as whole as well as specific examples to prove it exists on an individual basis.
- Causal analysis: You could either present several equal causes or a primary cause with many secondary causes.
- Proposal: You should show attempts at fixing the problem that didn’t work; however, the emphasis should be the solution you feel will work presented in depth and with details.
- Defense of Proposal: State and overcome objections to your wonderful plan to fix the world.
