In this assignment you will craft a research paper on a homeland security issue. In the prior assignment, you presented the first three sections of your paper. This week, you will add the final sections and present the full paper.

The findings are the facts that you developed, not your interpretation of the facts. That interpretation is conducted in the conclusions and recommendations section of the paper. Findings will come from the prior research you examined and your analysis of those prior findings to create new findings for your paper. While there may be some facts that are such that they will stand and translate to your paper, the intent is to create new knowledge, so you will normally analyze the data to create your own findings of what facts that data represents.

Often the conclusions and recommendations sections will mirror the findings in construct as the researcher tells the reader what the researcher sees as the meaning of that data. Then, drawing on those conclusions, the researcher tells the reader what they believe needs to be done to solve/answer the research question. This section may include recognition of any needs for further research and then finishes with a traditional conclusion to the paper as a whole.

Overview
As citizens of the 21st Century it is no exaggeration to claim
that we are witnessing the
ascendency of the biotechnological age. Rapid and dramatic
advances in genetics have
had profound impacts upon scientific, medical and
environmental technologies and
have radically altered the understanding of ourselves as human
organisms within a
global ecosystem. Such scientific progress has undoubtedly
raised important ethical
and often controversial issues which play significant roles in
determining how we view,
act and manage ourselves within an ever-changing social
context catalyzed by the
technologies we create. In this activity students will explore

3. some of these polemics
and develop well-informed positions within the sphere of public
discourse.
You are required to write a short argumentative essay on any
ONE of the genetics-
based bioethical issues listed below:
1. Should public and private entities such as insurers,
employers, courts, schools,
adoption agencies, and the military have access to personal
genetic information?
2. Does genomic sequencing help or harm minority
communities?
3. Will increased access to genetic information lead society to
more discrimination?
4. Is the use of fetal genetic screening unethical?
5. Should parents have to right to choose their children based on
genetics?
6. Should genetic testing be performed for diseases when no
treatment is
available?
7. Should parents have the right to have their minor children
tested for adult-onset
diseases?
8. Do genetically modified foods and organisms pose a serious

4. threat to public
health and the environment?
9. Are GMOs beneficial to the development of Third World
countries?
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
• Your paper MUST contain well supported arguments made on
BOTH sides of the
issue you selected. The arguments should include in-text
citations from scholarly
articles, studies and scientific reports (e.g. using Google
Scholar or MDC library
databases). Avoid the overuse of quotations. The conclusion of
the essay must
include your own opinion (with justification) on the topic.
• Your paper should be 3 – 4 pages in length (min: 3, max: 4)
typed, default-
spaced (1.5) 12-pt font. A bibliography is REQUIRED in APA
format and is not
included in your page count. Do not add cover pages, photos,
charts or
diagrams to your review. This is an assessment of your original
writing so please

Total 50
An “A” Paper/Essay: A paper that is exceptional. It is
interesting or unusual and demonstrates
sophistication of thought. The main points are clear, complex,
well developed, and well supported. The
structure of the paper follows a clear logical organization, and
all sources are critically examined. The
sources are current, relevant, of high quality, and well-
integrated in the paper. The paper is free of
grammatical and spelling errors.
A “B” Paper/Essay: A paper that is solid and fulfills the
assignment. It has a clear logic but minor
lapses in development. It touches on the complexity of the
argument and shows careful reading of the
sources. The structure follows a logical progression of ideas,
but not all evidence is clearly related to the
main ideas. It may contain a few grammatical problems, but not

6. enough to make reading difficult.
A “C” Paper/Essay: A paper that is adequate but less effective
in responding to the assignment. It
presents the central idea in general terms and demonstrates
basic comprehension of the sources. It is
difficult to find a logical structure to the argument, and the
paper often relies on generalizations or
unrelated examples. Sentences may be awkward or confusing
enough to make reading difficult.
A “D” Paper/Essay: A paper that does not respond to the
assignment. The argument may be too vague
or there is little complexity to the ideas. The organizations can
be difficult to follow, and the paper offers
insufficient evidence from the literature. No integration of the
literature reviewed is evident.
An “F” Paper/Essay: A paper that does not respond to the
assignment, has no central argument, and
uses no sources. There is little apparent organization. There is
no supporting evidence, or it is irrelevant.
