Overview
You are probably going to college for a reason. You probably have at least some idea of the direction you want your career to take, or the degree or certificate you want to obtain. Think about the field you are working in now, or want to work in one day, and some of the classes you will need as you go on in that field. Every field of study is always improving and making discoveries in one way or another, and your research paper for this class focuses on the newest trends in the field you are studying in college. All of the research you do for the summary assignments will, hopefully, work as research for your research paper too. So you are not wasting any time or effort on any of these writing assignments. They all build into your final writing project.
We will be using SCHOLARLY works for our research, and that means you have to access the media center’s databases. Search for articles that have the full text available. The Assignments Find an article in the media center’s databases that discusses the latest-greatest, cutting edge issues/practices within the field that you see yourself working in one day. Find something interesting and learn something new! For each summary assignment, choose a different a different article, focusing on the same issue/practice.
Your job is to summarize one article for each summary assignment.
For the first sentence of your summary, write a thesis statement that is appropriate for the article. Next, summarize the article’s main points – focus on solutions, not problems. Look for the positive aspects of the innovation. Set your margins at 1” on all four sides (Go to Page Layout>Margins) Do not use quotes – it should all be summarized in your own words, and just MAIN ideas. Do not use personal pronouns or contractions – there is no place for these in formal writing At the end of each summary paragraph, give the works cited citation for the article in MLA format which includes the name of the database the article came from. Many of the articles will already give you the citation you need, but they often need some formatting repairs. Try “Exporting” the citation to Easybib to help with this, but double-check that the name of the database remains in the citation.
Some topic examples:
Physical Therapy/Exercise – what is research saying about muscle and fat in the human body, and how it affects health? Psychology – what are the best responses to adolescent destructive behaviors/depression/anorexia? Business – what is on the cutting edge for a certain product’s design? Latest ideas in marketing to certain target audiences?Medical – what are some new technologies being used in prosthetics? New developments in cancer treatments? Fire Fighter/EMT – what is the best way to respond to a multi-vehicle accident with multiple victims? New ways of treating
Maximum words is 2000 (+-10%). Let me know the additional pages needed for Appendix.
IMPORTANT: Daily updates required.
Solution Proposal:
The focus of the capstone project is to solve a contemporary social and criminal justice issue through the application of information from a variety of related fields, which may include sociology, law, psychology, and ethics.
In developing a proposed solution to a modern social and criminal justice issue, you are encouraged to use scholarly and primary sources, multimedia, and interviews with professionals in the field (if possible) to identify and devise a workable plan.
Within the Final Capstone Project, complete the following:
Identify a clear thesis statement to address your chosen criminal and social justice issue.
Summarize your chosen social and criminal justice issue.
Propose the resolution to the social and criminal justice issue.
Examine the operations of the criminal justice system as it relates to your chosen issue and resolution. This may include operations related to crime scene investigation techniques and security; the collection, preservation and presentation of evidence; and processes related to correctional institutions, incarceration, and release.
Analyze how the criminal and social justice theories (in relation to the United States Constitution) and landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions impact your chosen issue and support your resolution.
Explain how social and criminal justice systems promote social equality and fairness for all and how this impacts your issue and resolution.
Consider how poverty, racism, and religion apply to contemporary social and criminal justice.
Assess how the centralization of criminal justice agencies in the United States, The Patriot Act, the U.S. Homeland Security Act, and international aspects of social and criminal justice impact your issue and resolution.
Identify and describe at least two careers in criminal justice (existing or to-be-created) for agencies that may be involved in addressing the issue and resolution you have chosen.

FINAL ESSAY
The essay should be between four pages double-spaced, 12-point font. Again, evidently, it will be necessary to selective and very concise in such a short space.
Each essay question presupposes that you will be quoting liberally from the source texts in the course kit – as a rule there ought to be at least four key quotations in your paper (perhaps more, if they are very short). Please see below, at the end of the list of topics, for a review of the grading criteria for the essay.
Freud’s discussion of the evolution of institutions of justice (p94) mirrors Kant’s notion of public speech. To what extent are they similar thinkers overall?
Criteria of Evaluation
CLARITY
In technical terms, this means syntax and vocabulary. I have offered a few general rules to follow for added clarity.
1) avoid “you” and “your” as well as “relatable”
2) paragraphs should be more than three sentences and less than a page
3) Verb tenses and singular and plural nouns and pronouns should agree within and, where applicable, between sentences.
4) quotes should be integrated in the flow of your own sentences, “using a comma in this fashion.”
5) All rules of clarity can be broken in the interest of improved clarity, but they should only be broken consciously, with a sense of purpose, and when necessary.
ACCURACY
Is what you are writing in your paragraphs true to the texts? Are you quoting directly and making sure any alternative vocabulary you introduce in your own explanations keeps the meaning closely enough?
PRECISION
Does your writing contain sufficient detail? Are you presenting the precise details in particular of complex, contradictory, or self-contradictory ideas, works, problems, etc.? Are you qualifying and developing general statements that you make to avoid vagueness and lack of focus?
COHERENCY
Does the whole essay maintain a focus on the proposal offered to the reader at the beginning? Is the proposal sufficiently broad and comprehensive to account for all the ideas or aspects of the idea? Does it answer the question?
The purpose is twofold:
Persuade the reader to agree with the writer’s position
(primary purpose)
Express the writer’s feelings about the reader taking
action on the topic (secondary purpose)
You’re required to use a minimum of four secondary sources Use at least two articles from Penn Foster’s digital library
