For Unit 4 IP Draft, you will identify and fully analyze the topic(s) you have selected to address in Weeks 2 and 3. This must be 4-6 pages. You will identify the problems associated with the topic as well as a specific method of change implementation. You will defend your recommended changes and discuss the anticipated outcome of the promulgated actions. 

Note: It cannot be stressed enough the need for defending the actions advocated as well as ensuring that facts stated are well-supported and based on appropriate references and not emotive responses. 

This is a position paper that will contain a breakdown of, but is not limited to, the following questions: 

How did you select the topic in terms of its importance to the social community?

 -Did it come from the media? Why or why not? 

What are the issues, problems, or policies that need to be addressed? 

-Is it an issue, problem, or policy? Explain

What implemented changes are proffered to affect the topic(s) selected?

-Be specific with recommended changes. 

-Match recommendations with the specific component that you are intending the implementation to affect. 

How are the changes valid for the topic(s)? (This is the defense portion and should be significant). 

-The positions and changes recommended must be defended with logic and facts. 

-Facts must all be supported with adequate research sources from legitimate references (cite  the facts in APA style in the outline)

-Without defended recommendations, this paper will have no merit. 

What is the anticipated outcome of the changes for the research topic(s)? 

-Use logic and deductive approaches to the anticipated outcome.

-If you can show something to be so, and it relates to the next step, then the deduction will be strong. 

-Remember that if any of the arguments in deductive logic are false, then the outcome cannot be valid. 

A minimum of 8-10 appropriate references must follow the paper.

-This is the backbone of your decision-making process

-It cannot be stressed enough that your references need to be from legitimate academic and scholarly sources and must be sound in their scientific acceptance. 

-Use academic search engines if you are using the internet.

-Do not use simple internet searches.

-The references must be written in APA style for a reference page. Each reference should be followed by a short paragraph that describes what this reference source is going to contribute to the research. Citations are appropriate in the outline from the references that you have provided. Citations will be in APA format.
