English 105 – Assignment 3: Research Paper

If you have a Study.com College Saver membership and are seeking college credit for this course, you must submit all required assignments and pass the proctored �nal exam. You must submit your paper before registering for the �nal. Below you will �nd prompts and instructions for submitting your research paper.

Research Assignment In this course, you've learned how to draft proposals, �nd reliable sources, and compose research papers. For this assignment, you will write a 1500-2000-word research paper based on one of the prompts below.

These are the same prompts you were given for the research proposal assignment. For this assignment, write your essay on the prompt 4, 5, or 6 that you selected for your proposal. Prompts 1, 2, and 3 are in the previous lesson – College Composition II: Assignment 2 – Research Paper.

Assignment Prompts Select one prompt for your essay.

On August 6, 1965, during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, President Lyndon Johnson signed The Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibited racial discrimination in voting. Although the Fifteenth Amendment had already given male African American citizens the right to vote, many Southern states had various forms of intimidation and violence, including literacy tests, to suppress those votes. The Voting Rights Act �nally provided a means to �ght voter restrictions and encourage more African Americans to get to the polls.

Since its passing, the Voting Rights Act has been viewed as one of the most important pieces of legislation in American history. Looking back at it now, did the Voting Rights Act meet the goals that it had set? Is voter suppression still a problem today? If so, what methods are now used to �ght it? If not, how does the country now guarantee that all citizens can have an equal say in the government?

Prompt 4

According to Gallup, an American research-based consulting company known for its public opinion polls, the worry of global warming is at an eight-year high. A recent poll shows about 70% of Americans believe that global warming is real and the e�ects of it have already begun.

However, even within these statistics, there is still a great divide between those who think that global warming is an important issue, what money should be invested into it, what e�ects it has, or even what exactly is causing it.

Looking closer at the issue of climate change, do you believe that it is an important problem in our country to address? Why or why not? What measures, if any, should be taken to help with global warming? What role should the United States take when it comes to climate change? Or has the U.S. invested too much time and money into climate change, ultimately costing jobs and development? Pick a side and present evidence regarding this issue.

Since the start of the 21st century, the increasing rate of technological advancement has led to new breakthroughs in computing and robotics, both creating a demand for new engineering jobs, but also replacing many existing jobs with automation. Consider the socioeconomic rami�cations of this technological revolution – how have new technologies a�ected the economy in the U.S. and globally? How does modern connectivity a�ect how people work?

The 21st century isn't the �rst time technology has replaced and created new jobs. Analyze the historical precedence for this shift – when technology advanced and displaced workers in the past, how did they respond and adapt?

The Gender Gap is de�ned as 'the discrepancies in opportunities and status between men and women.' Many believe the gender gap is still very present in America, saying that women have fewer opportunities in STEM-related �elds and make less money than men regardless of time on the job, education, or experience.

However, there are also those who believe the gender gap problem is just a myth. To them, these claims do not consider the type of job, the fact that men may work more hours, and that men are more likely to pursue high-stress advancements.

Is there evidence to suggest that the gender gap still exists today? If so, is there a solution to this problem? If not, what do you think is causing so many to believe that it still exists?

Prompt 1

Since the 1990s, reality television shows have gained popularity in the United States and across the world. These shows range from competition, dating, documentaries, famous people's lives, and even strangers living together.

Most people agree that reality television is far from reality. The cast members are placed in staged settings, yet we accept these lies because these shows are entertaining. But the debate with reality television has moved beyond just the 'reality' of the production and to the message that the shows are sending. Often, people are cast into stereotypical roles, are asked to behave a certain way, and are edited to reinforce these stereotypes. In addition, many have criticized the type of people cast on reality television, believing that their beauty and wealth does not re�ect most people.

Consider the impact reality television has had on society since its debut. For instance, what e�ect has reality television had on stereotypes, expectation of beauty, or competition? Using reputable sources and evidence to support your claims, research an e�ect that reality television has on society and explain the signi�cance of its impact.

The emotional aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was immediate and for some, the healing process persists to this day. However, there were other e�ects of these terrorist attacks. How did these attacks change the security policies in the U.S.? How did they impact U.S. foreign policies and foreign relationships? Other than the loss of many innocent lives that morning, what other losses did the United States experience? How did the country recover, or is it still healing?

English 105 – Assignment 1: Research Proposals

If you are seeking college credit for this course, you must submit two research proposals and two research papers, and then pass the proctored �nal exam. You must submit your proposals and papers before registering for the �nal. Below you will �nd prompts and instructions for submitting your proposals.

About This Assignment Throughout this course, you've learned about �nding sources, crafting a research proposal, and ultimately writing a research paper. As part of your grade for this course, you need to complete two research proposals and two research papers. For this assignment, choose two of the prompts you plan to write full research papers on and create your corresponding research proposals. One prompt should be chosen from options 1-3, and one prompt should be chosen from options 4-6. Submit two research proposals on the corresponding prompts. (In assignments 2 & 3, you will write two full essays from the prompts you selected.)

Be sure to cover the following components in 500-800 words for each proposal:

The prompt and questions you want to address

Your thesis (your position regarding the main question you address)

Your goals for the paper

Supporting details

How and what you will research to support your thesis

It should be clear from your proposals not just which two prompts you have selected, but how you intend to focus, develop, and prove them. Regardless of which prompts you choose, evidence from reputable sources must be used to support your claims.

Research Paper Prompts Since you will be writing research papers on two of the prompts listed below, we highly suggest completing the research proposals �rst, based on the prompts you plan to choose for your full- length research papers. That way, the work you complete for your research proposals will set you up for greater success when you complete the related research papers.
