Final Research Paper Topic and Plan
The first step in the research process is selecting a topic that is
both interesting and manageable. For this discussion, complete
the following:
Review the Final Research Paper instructions in Week Five, and
identify three potential research topics.
Describe methods that may be helpful in identifying and
narrowing your research paper topic.
Examine two scholarly sources that may prove valuable as you
seek to defend your claims.
Address why scholarly sources should be used to support your
writing on the selected topic.
Social Media
The introduction of new technologies has significantly affected
the social lives of many. These changes, which reflect how
people use technology to interact, provide an example of trends
that you might examine in your Final Research Paper. For this
discussion, identify a significant change that has occurred in the
way people communicate and share information, and reflect on
the impact this change has had on individuals and society in
general today (local and global). Keep in mind that not all
social trends affect all groups in society to the same degree. In
addition, examine the influence of social media on an
individual’s personal and professional pursuits.
3.
Professional Resume and Cover Letter
Create a professional resume and cover letter for a position
within your selected industry, and attach a copy to this
discussion forum.
Respond to at least three of your classmates’ posts by Day 7,
providing both positive and constructive feedback.
If you do not have a resume or cover letter, you may access
helpful resources by logging into your Ashford University
Student Portal. From the
Student Portal
homepage, locate
Career and Alumni Services
(look for the blue “Career” word cluster image) and click on
the link to
My Career: Career and Professional Development Center
to
review resume and cover letter resources
.
4.
Social Capital
Read the articles,
Bowling Alone: America’s Declining Social Capital
and
Still Bowling Alone? The Post-9/11 Split
from the Project Muse database in the Ashford University
Library. For this discussion, complete the following:
In your own words, describe what is meant by the term “social
capital.”
Examine the influences of social connections and technology
and civic engagement in academic and professional pursuits.
Evaluate the significance of social capital in the context of
global citizenship and multicultural understanding.
Federal Policy
In recent years, immigration, health care reform, and fiscal
policy have emerged as key issues in U.S. federal policy. There
are many sides to each debate, and research is proliferating.
Using the Ashford Online Library, identify a scholarly article
that answers research questions associated with the debate over
immigration, health care reform, or fiscal policy (select one).
Apply the principles of critical thinking to the selected issue.
Cite the article or website that contains the research. Then,
describe the findings of this research and provide your
perspective on the validity of the findings.
Call to Action
Review
The Surgeon General’s Vision for a Healthy and Fit Nation
2010
. Then, locate a news article or video related to obesity. Identify
the source and evaluate the impact of the report, in relation to
the media attention and focus on the topic of obesity. How did
the report and media coverage create a sense of urgency to
move the audience from complacency to action? In what ways
do persuasive arguments and presentations directed toward
general audiences create a call to action for reform?
Final Research Paper Progress
At this point in the course, you should have a strong draft of
your Final Research Paper. Share your progress on the Final
Research Paper, including the following:
Identify the Final Research Paper topic. What influenced you to
make this choice?
Describe your rationale for selecting that topic in relation to
your academic and career pursuits.
Provide your thesis statement.
Discuss interesting finds and/or frustrations that you have
encountered in your research.
Technology and Globalization
Examine the relationship between advances in technology and
the responsibilities of global citizenship. Describe how
technology has changed the way in which people pursue
knowledge and how they address social concerns. Assess the
challenges and benefits of a technical and global community,
and recognize the impact of technological and global influences
in your life.
Reflecting on General Education
Explain what you have learned about the principles guiding
general education from this course and the courses you have
taken in the past. What are the most important concepts you
have learned (a) from this course and (b) throughout your time
as a university student? What are your plans for putting your
education to use within your community? How might your
newly-acquired knowledge and skills shape your personal and
professional development?
