Editor's Notes
- The concept paper A concept can be a principle, idea, theory, condition, or a process. Select a concept that you are interested in, perhaps something from one of your classes. Identify the concept and explain the context in which you learned it. Define your concept. Give examples of your concept. Explain why the concept is important or useful
- When thinking about your concept paper, or any research you do, remember to select a topic that interests you. For my presentation, I’m going to focus on “Social Justice” because we are living in a time of hightened sensitivities to inequality. There is a growing gap between the rich and poor. The rich live longer because they have access to health care, education, good jobs, and a higher quality of life.
- Searching “Social Justice” as a subject term and food and an optional term, I have 37 relevant results.
- Broad concept: Civil Rights, narrow topics: civil rights movement(s), civil rights workers, African American civil rights, Mexican American civil rights, Human Rights
- Broad topic/concept: Movement, narrow topic: Early childhood obesity. Letsmove.gov
- Concept: Justice, narrow topics: Racial profiling, “Stop-and-frisk,” NORML (National Association for the Reformation of Marijuana Laws).
- Concept: Poverty, narrow topics: Poverty and women, causes of poverty, homelessness, welfare. This definition is a paraphrase of the topic Poverty in Credo Reference>Poverty and Government in America.
