Identify the global societal issue you have chosen to research for your Final Paper, an argumentative essay, and explain why further research on this topic is important.
In my final research paper, I will talk about the topic of income inequality and poverty. This topic is trending and has become a part of the public discourse as it has been in the past. To make an effective argumentative essay, I will cover both the positive and negative effects of poverty and income inequality. I will also talk about how hard it takes to get out of poverty. Due to the impact of poverty and income inequality on families, further research is needed to understand how these issues have affected the country.
Provide a clear and concise thesis statement that includes a solution to the global societal issue
Although it seems that the number of people living in poverty has drastically decreased in the US, I want to take a closer look at how it is. In my final paper, I will also talk about how much people are still struggling to keep their heads above water and how much a college education is helping them get out of poverty.
Explain how this global societal issue impacts a specific population.
The specific population impacted by this societal issue would be the middle working class and lower class. The middle working class is, in my opinion, probably the most challenging class to be in. You work hard to provide for yourself and your family but do not make enough to get ahead and make too much to qualify for government assistance to take some of the weight off.
Locate a peer-reviewed scholarly source and provide statistical data that you found surprising on the topic.
“Three co‐occurring trends in the United States arguably create a perfect storm of adversity for low‐income children: More children are living below or close to the poverty line; physical spaces, neighborhoods, and schools are increasingly segregated by income and race; and economic, educational, and social opportunities for low‐income children are diverging from those for higher income children as income inequality increases. As a result, more low‐income children live in poverty, in neighborhoods characterized by concentrated disadvantage, and in the shadow of increasing wealth that fails to reach their communities, schools, or experiences.” (Odgers & Adler, 2018)

Final Written Art Project (500 words) carefully and creatively written words and sentences. Artist Statement (250 words)
WRITTEN ART PROJECT
Create a disjunctive or non-narrative piece
that engages all three aspects of reality that we have been discussing throughout the quarter: 1) larger political, social, and economic realities 2) personal or human dramatic situation and 3) detritus of existence. Make sure each of these are well represented and that they do not merely serve as a backdrop or props for other parts of your piece. In other words, make sure each of these aspects of reality is given its due as determining of your or others reality.
Possible Strategies and Advice:
Switch between first and third person perspectives. Make use of actual seeings—what you see. Describe and only occasionally explain or meditate. Meditate a great deal but be sure you are specific . Enact and don’t preach.
Create a concept (a title for your piece) that gives the reader a sense of the intent of your work.
This concept should serve to suggest complementary or conflictual relations between the different parts of your piece. Ultimately in placing all your parts together, in proximity to one another, you want the “whole” to be greater than the sum of the parts.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Please describe the intent of your piece and how you think its disjunctive form allows you to create a sense of reality that you wish to create. Please consider key words and concepts from the module syllabus as well as the ideas that have emerged from course discussions and thought challenges. You might also find these artist’s statements of use:

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it’s not going to be fired, it shouldn’t be hanging there.

Situation:
Tim Smith the IT manager comes to you and says "My project coordinators are in a slump; they just are not producing their usual caliber of work. I need to find out what the problem is. No one on the project team knows what is going on. The communcation my project coordinators are giving is coming across as rude, which in turn keeps moral low and the teams are not doing the work. I was hoping you would be able to put together an Effective Communication training for them to help get everyone back on the right track." There are 10 project coordinators in the IT department. Two of the project coordinator's are in the organization's Bangkok office. Tim wants the training to last no longer than 4 hours and wants it to be face to face in a class room with you, the trainer. He does not want to fly the Bangkok assoicates in and would like you to set up a Skype session with them during your training. He also wants you to set up weekly coaching sessions with each project manager and himself for a month after the training is completed.

You are to use this information, but are not limited to it. Tim wants to make sure this information is covered in the training as he went online and bought it from USA Training, however he is open to what research you find. He wants the training to be interactive and requested that you included at least 1 activity around communication in the training.
Effective Communcation:
Introduction
People in organizations typically spend over 75% of their time in an interpersonal situation; thus it is no surprise to find that at the root of a large number of organizational problems is poor communications. Effective communication is an essential component of organizational success whether it is at the interpersonal, inter-group, intra-group, organizational, or external levels.
In this chapter we will cover the basic process of communication and then we will cover some of the most difficult communication issues managers’ face-providing constructive and effective feedback and performance appraisal.
The Communication Process
Although all of us have been communicating with others since our infancy, the process of transmitting information from an individual (or group) to another is a very complex process with many sources of potential error.
In any communication at least some of the "meaning" lost in simple transmission of a message from the sender to the receiver. In many situations a lot of the .

Final Project Outline
For this assignment, you will be creating an outline of your final project. The focus of this outline to is to present as clear a picture as possible of your Community Center Proposal so that you may receive feedback which will guide you as you create your final project in Week 5. Please refer to the Final Project guidelines for more information on the Final Project as you prepare the outline of your proposal.
In the Final Project Outline, you will be creating a script in which you identify and describe at least 2 weekly activities for each age group that address their physical, cognitive and psychosocial developmental needs. All three domains of development must be addressed within your activities. For example, you may have one activity which enhances cognitive and psychosocial development and a second activity which enhances physical development. In addition to identifying these activities, you will demonstrate a foundational knowledge of children's developmental continuum by explaining your reasoning for choosing each activity in each age group, based on your analysis of theory and current child development research.
Additionally, you will go “shopping” for at least 1 age-appropriate game, toy, picture, or other “play” item for the activities in each age group. Keep in mind that this may include things like art, music, technology, or safety tools as you deem fit. For each item that you propose, you will provide a link to a website from which the item can be purchased by the city, as well as an explanation for why the city should purchase the item, informed by research and theory.
You will utilize the
PSY104 Written Proposal template
to create your Final Project outline. Enter the requested information on the title page where indicated. Where you find the text “This is where you will…” within the proposal, please remove that and enter your own content. The headings in bold and the outline formatting with numbers and letters should not be altered.
In your Written Proposal, you must include the following:
Please complete each section of the template including the information requested.
Within section “iv” for each room, you will be asked to justify your activities and items by analyzing interactions of the major themes: Health and Well-Being, Family and Parenting, Education, Culture and Gender as factors influencing the developmental physical, cognitive and psychosocial pathways. Your written proposal must address how you have accounted for each of these themes in its associated room as they relate to physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development. Each theme must be included in at least one room, and each room must address one or more themes. (Please see
these samples
for ways to explain how you have accounted for this.)

Final Project Analysis of an Offender (15 pagesAs a criminal j.docxMalikPinckney86
Final Project
Analysis of an Offender (15 pages
As a criminal justice professional, you will likely deal with offenders on a daily basis. Understanding the causes of criminal behavior is essential to learning how to handle offenders, how offenders are most effectively rehabilitated, and how to protect society from criminals. All too often, however, theoretical explanations for criminal behavior are never applied to criminal behavior in real-life situations. The Final Project in this class is designed for you to apply what you have learned about in this class about the causes of criminal behavior to a real-life criminal.
You are responsible for selecting one specific criminal. You must be able to research and track down detailed information about this specific criminal. Be sure that there is enough information surrounding his or her:
Upbringing
Behavior over the course of a lifetime
Social relationships
Specific details pertaining to criminal offending patterns
Once you locate an offender who you wish to research, you will need to create an analysis of the offender that takes into consideration the following:
Detailed Overview (2–3 pages)
Provide a detailed overview of the offender, and his or her life and crimes.
Discuss the nature of the offender’s crimes.
Explain how his or her criminal offending is consistent or inconsistent with what is known about the nature of criminal behavior.
Causes of Crime (8–10 pages)
This section of the paper is the most important and should contain a sufficient amount of detail pertaining to all of the potential causes of crime based on what is known about the offender.
Discuss the potential social and environmental causes of the offender’s behavior.
Discuss the potential psychological causes of the offender’s behavior.
Discuss the potential biological and genetic causes of the offender’s behavior.
Type of Offender (2–3 pages)
Identify the type of offender.
Based on the type of offender that you are researching, explain some of the unique issues presented by this type of offender.
Discuss the obstacles to rehabilitation for this specific type of offender.
Apprehension (2–3 pages)
Discuss whether criminal profiling could have been used to apprehend this criminal sooner.
Explain how the details of this specific offender could be used in the apprehension of future criminals.
Policy Implications (1–2 pages)
Briefly discuss some of the policy implications that might flow directly from what is now known about this offender.
Discuss how policy could be revamped in terms of prevention and rehabilitation.

Final Written Art Project (500 words) carefully and creatively written words and sentences. Artist Statement (250 words)
WRITTEN ART PROJECT
Create a disjunctive or non-narrative piece
that engages all three aspects of reality that we have been discussing throughout the quarter: 1) larger political, social, and economic realities 2) personal or human dramatic situation and 3) detritus of existence. Make sure each of these are well represented and that they do not merely serve as a backdrop or props for other parts of your piece. In other words, make sure each of these aspects of reality is given its due as determining of your or others reality.
Possible Strategies and Advice:
Switch between first and third person perspectives. Make use of actual seeings—what you see. Describe and only occasionally explain or meditate. Meditate a great deal but be sure you are specific . Enact and don’t preach.
Create a concept (a title for your piece) that gives the reader a sense of the intent of your work.
This concept should serve to suggest complementary or conflictual relations between the different parts of your piece. Ultimately in placing all your parts together, in proximity to one another, you want the “whole” to be greater than the sum of the parts.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Please describe the intent of your piece and how you think its disjunctive form allows you to create a sense of reality that you wish to create. Please consider key words and concepts from the module syllabus as well as the ideas that have emerged from course discussions and thought challenges. You might also find these artist’s statements of use:
Chekov
Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it’s not going to be fired, it shouldn’t be hanging there.

Sometimes I realize that if writing isn’t, all things, all contraries confounded, a quest for vanity and void, it’s nothing. (

Tim Smith the IT manager comes to you and says "My project coordinators are in a slump; they just are not producing their usual caliber of work. I need to find out what the problem is. No one on the project team knows what is going on. The communcation my project coordinators are giving is coming across as rude, which in turn keeps moral low and the teams are not doing the work. I was hoping you would be able to put together an Effective Communication training for them to help get everyone back on the right track." There are 10 project coordinators in the IT department. Two of the project coordinator's are in the organization's Bangkok office. Tim wants the training to last no longer than 4 hours and wants it to be face to face in a class room with you, the trainer. He does not want to fly the Bangkok assoicates in and would like you to set up a Skype session with them during your training. He also wants you to set up weekly coaching sessions with each project manager and himself for a month after the training is completed.

You are to use this information, but are not limited to it. Tim wants to make sure this information is covered in the training as he went online and bought it from USA Training, however he is open to what research you find. He wants the training to be interactive and requested that you included at least 1 activity around communication in the training.
Effective Communcation:
Introduction
People in organizations typically spend over 75% of their time in an interpersonal situation; thus it is no surprise to find that at the root of a large number of organizational problems is poor communications. Effective communication is an essential component of organizational success whether it is at the interpersonal, inter-group, intra-group, organizational, or external levels.
In this chapter we will cover the basic process of communication and then we will cover some of the most difficult communication issues managers’ face-providing constructive and effective feedback and performance appraisal.
The Communication Process
Although all of us have been communicating with others since our infancy, the process of transmitting information from an individual (or group) to another is a very complex process with many sources of potential error.
In any communication at least some of the "meaning" lost in simple transmission of a message from the sender to the receiver. In many situations a lot of the .

Final Project OutlineFor this assignment, you will be creating an .docxMalikPinckney86
Final Project Outline
For this assignment, you will be creating an outline of your final project. The focus of this outline to is to present as clear a picture as possible of your Community Center Proposal so that you may receive feedback which will guide you as you create your final project in Week 5. Please refer to the Final Project guidelines for more information on the Final Project as you prepare the outline of your proposal.
In the Final Project Outline, you will be creating a script in which you identify and describe at least 2 weekly activities for each age group that address their physical, cognitive and psychosocial developmental needs. All three domains of development must be addressed within your activities. For example, you may have one activity which enhances cognitive and psychosocial development and a second activity which enhances physical development. In addition to identifying these activities, you will demonstrate a foundational knowledge of children's developmental continuum by explaining your reasoning for choosing each activity in each age group, based on your analysis of theory and current child development research.
Additionally, you will go “shopping” for at least 1 age-appropriate game, toy, picture, or other “play” item for the activities in each age group. Keep in mind that this may include things like art, music, technology, or safety tools as you deem fit. For each item that you propose, you will provide a link to a website from which the item can be purchased by the city, as well as an explanation for why the city should purchase the item, informed by research and theory.
You will utilize the
PSY104 Written Proposal template
to create your Final Project outline. Enter the requested information on the title page where indicated. Where you find the text “This is where you will…” within the proposal, please remove that and enter your own content. The headings in bold and the outline formatting with numbers and letters should not be altered.
In your Written Proposal, you must include the following:
Please complete each section of the template including the information requested.
Within section “iv” for each room, you will be asked to justify your activities and items by analyzing interactions of the major themes: Health and Well-Being, Family and Parenting, Education, Culture and Gender as factors influencing the developmental physical, cognitive and psychosocial pathways. Your written proposal must address how you have accounted for each of these themes in its associated room as they relate to physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development. Each theme must be included in at least one room, and each room must address one or more themes. (Please see
these samples
for ways to explain how you have accounted for this.)

Final Project
Analysis of an Offender (15 pages
As a criminal justice professional, you will likely deal with offenders on a daily basis. Understanding the causes of criminal behavior is essential to learning how to handle offenders, how offenders are most effectively rehabilitated, and how to protect society from criminals. All too often, however, theoretical explanations for criminal behavior are never applied to criminal behavior in real-life situations. The Final Project in this class is designed for you to apply what you have learned about in this class about the causes of criminal behavior to a real-life criminal.
You are responsible for selecting one specific criminal. You must be able to research and track down detailed information about this specific criminal. Be sure that there is enough information surrounding his or her:
Upbringing
Behavior over the course of a lifetime
Social relationships
Specific details pertaining to criminal offending patterns
Once you locate an offender who you wish to research, you will need to create an analysis of the offender that takes into consideration the following:
Detailed Overview (2–3 pages)
Provide a detailed overview of the offender, and his or her life and crimes.
Discuss the nature of the offender’s crimes.
Explain how his or her criminal offending is consistent or inconsistent with what is known about the nature of criminal behavior.
Causes of Crime (8–10 pages)
This section of the paper is the most important and should contain a sufficient amount of detail pertaining to all of the potential causes of crime based on what is known about the offender.
Discuss the potential social and environmental causes of the offender’s behavior.
Discuss the potential psychological causes of the offender’s behavior.
Discuss the potential biological and genetic causes of the offender’s behavior.
Type of Offender (2–3 pages)
Identify the type of offender.
Based on the type of offender that you are researching, explain some of the unique issues presented by this type of offender.
Discuss the obstacles to rehabilitation for this specific type of offender.
Apprehension (2–3 pages)
Discuss whether criminal profiling could have been used to apprehend this criminal sooner.
Explain how the details of this specific offender could be used in the apprehension of future criminals.
Policy Implications (1–2 pages)
Briefly discuss some of the policy implications that might flow directly from what is now known about this offender.
Discuss how policy could be revamped in terms of prevention and rehabilitation.

Identify the global societal issue you have chosen to research for
1. Identify the global societal issue you have chosen to research
for your Final Paper, an argumentative essay, and explain why
further research on this topic is important.
In my final research paper, I will talk about the topic of income
inequality and poverty. This topic is trending and has become a
part of the public discourse as it has been in the past. To make
an effective argumentative essay, I will cover both the positive
and negative effects of poverty and income inequality. I will
also talk about how hard it takes to get out of poverty. Due to
the impact of poverty and income inequality on families, further
research is needed to understand how these issues have affected
the country.
Provide a clear and concise thesis statement that includes a
solution to the global societal issue
Although it seems that the number of people living in poverty
has drastically decreased in the US, I want to take a closer look
at how it is. In my final paper, I will also talk about how much
people are still struggling to keep their heads above water and
how much a college education is helping them get out of
poverty.
Explain how this global societal issue impacts a specific
population.
The specific population impacted by this societal issue would be
the middle working class and lower class. The middle working
class is, in my opinion, probably the most challenging class to
be in. You work hard to provide for yourself and your family
but do not make enough to get ahead and make too much to
qualify for government assistance to take some of the weight
off.
Locate a peer-reviewed scholarly source and provide statistical
data that you found surprising on the topic.
“Three co‐ occurring trends in the United States arguably create
a perfect storm of adversity for low‐ income children: More
children are living below or close to the poverty line; physical
2. spaces, neighborhoods, and schools are increasingly segregated
by income and race; and economic, educational, and social
opportunities for low‐ income children are diverging from those
for higher income children as income inequality increases. As a
result, more low‐ income children live in poverty, in
neighborhoods characterized by concentrated disadvanta ge, and
in the shadow of increasing wealth that fails to reach their
communities, schools, or experiences.” (Odgers & Adler, 2018)

Portfolio of Visions
The Portfolio of Visions Paper is intended to help you coalesce
your thinking about what you have learned while participating
in the MSL program, consider who you are becoming as a
scholar-practitioner, and conceptualize a future vision for your
life. This is based upon the idea that most successful people in
the world plan their current lives and their futures. The MSL
program has been designed to bring a rigorous academic
experience together with the student's desire to become a
consummate scholar-practitioner committed to producing social
impacts in order to better the plight of humanity. This is done
with the full knowledge that you are most whole when you live
an integrated way of life with a desire to always becoming a
better "self." To that end, the Portfolio of Visions provides you
with the opportunity to bring these disparate parts of your life
into to a focused way of being.
See attachment - Portfolio of Visions template to see the
parameters for the project and begin working through the
3. assignments.
Proposal Project
The Capstone Proposal Project Option
The Capstone Proposal Project provides you with an opportunity
to frame a social impact project that could be funded by a
foundation, corporation, venture capital firm, government
agency, or other capital resource. The method used for this
Capstone Proposal is to identify a service, program, or product
the student believes will have a social impact in their
organization, neighborhood, city, state, country, or globally.
While you are encouraged to think on a large scale, you are
advised to create a pilot program that if successful can be
replicated on a much larger scale. For example, if you want to
develop a leadership training program for a school district, the
pilot might focus on one particular school, allowing you to work
out the flaws and to learn from the smaller experience before
moving on to the larger entity. Likewise if you have a product
you believe is worthy of introducing into a market, you would
be advised to field test the product in a representative area
before trying to market the product more globally. In addition to
being a prudent business strategy, funders or financial backers
often want to field test ideas before fully investing in them on a
much larger basis.
If on the other hand, if you are working for an organization, you
might want to take an existing idea, service, program, or
product and expand it. Then you already have in effect "piloted"
the program and service and are looking to now broaden its
reach.
In either case however, you must look at the larger picture and
think in the larger more macro context as part of writing the
4. proposal: From the larger idea comes the pilot.
The emphasis for this Capstone Proposal Project is a proposal
designed to create a real-world social impact should it become
funded. Therefore, you must write a well-organized proposal
that has real-world potential for funding. The proposal must
match criteria outlined by a foundation of your choosing. There
are too many potential grant makers to provide a comprehensive
list; however, a brief list of selected potential funding sources
is listed in the resources section of the course to give you a
start. For foundations not included on the list, use the
Foundation Center link in the Syllabus to obtain information on
foundations of which you might be more familiar. Other helpful
source links are also provided to give a head start on finding
funding. You can also obtain information for venture capital
firms by using the business and government libraries as an
initial source.
The format for this project proposal will help you develop a
general proposal that can be tailored to meet the funding criteri a
for a major foundation proposal after the conclusion of your
program here at Walden University. Every foundation and
funding source has its unique criteria and application processes.
However, by completing this project proposal format you will
be well on your way towards being able to submit a proposal to
an actual foundation.
See attachment -Capstone Proposal Project template to begin
documenting your work throughout the duration of this course.
Research Project
The Capstone Research Project Option
The Capstone Research Paper provides you with an opportunity
to explore a social impact research interest in depth. You will
identify one or two research questions and a problem to be
5. solved and then explore the subject matter with academic rigor.
You will then write a paper that is a minimum of 25 pages and
does not exceed 30 pages on the subject of your choosing as
long as it relates to some theme studied in the MSL program.
(The length of the paper does not include such things as title
page, abstract, list of references, appendices, etc.) This is a
summary narrative form of paper and should not use questions
as headings or lead-ins to the narration. Graduate level critical
thinking and writing should be applied when writing this paper
and the use of questions should be minimized and focused.
This paper will be well grounded in the literature and the
subject must be a real-world social impact problem to be solved.
You are strongly advised to write about a problem with which
you are truly familiar and to apply theory to solve the problem.
It is envisioned that you will write about an organization,
community, or social issue with which you are intimately
involved. You will cite at least 20 sources from refereed
journals, 15 of which must not have been used during your
course of study. You may also use textbooks for the remaining
five sources to complete the 20-citation source requirement.
The purpose of this paper is for you to demonstrate depth of
knowledge and the ability to function as a scholar-practitioner.
You will use the APA 6th edition as the source reference for
formatting and writing the paper. This paper is a rigorous study
of some phenomena and you are expected to stay on point with
the subject and to produce a final paper that is worthy of
publication. In addition to the APA guidelines for formatting
papers, you should use the chapter headings from the
downloadable template below.

Course Introduction
Welcome to MMSL 6905: Capstone: A Case for Leaders as
Change Agents.
This course sets out to bridge the gap between theory and
practice. As such, it presents you with an
opportunity to put all of your leadership skills to the test as you
engage in one of two tracks from
which you will select your Capstone Project, compile your
Portfolio of Visions, and prepare to present
your social impact idea in a professional manner.
In this course, you will select one of two project tracks. The
first track of the Capstone Project,
referred to as the Proposal Track, will provide you with an
opportunity to identify a service, program,
or product (existing or non-existing) that you believe will have
a social impact in your organization,
neighborhood, city, state, country, or globally.
The second track of the Capstone Project, referred to as the
Research Paper Track, will provide you
with an opportunity to explore a social impact research inter est
in depth, which will be manifested in a
25- to 30-page paper. You will identify one or two research
questions and a problem to be solved and
then explore the subject matter with academic rigor.
To be completed by all students, the Portfolio of Visions paper
is intended to help you coalesce your
7. thinking about what you have learned while participating in the
MSL program, consider who you are
becoming as a scholar-practitioner, and conceptualize a future
vision for your life.
You will be introduced to the concepts of Multipliers and
Diminishers in our text Multipliers: How the
Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter (Rev. ed.). This resource
will provide you with opportunities to
explore two leadership styles. Multipliers can have a
resoundingly positive and profitable effect on
organizations, while developing and attracting talent,
cultivating new ideas, and energy to drive
organizational change and innovation. Diminishers are known as
those who can drain intelligence,
energy, and capability from the people around them, otherwise
known as the idea killers, energy
sappers, and the diminishers of talent and commitment.
Throughout this course, you will be expected to complete your
assignments and meet the deadlines
set in the classroom and by your Course Instructor. You will
also have many opportunities to both
provide feedback to, as well as elicit feedback from, your peers
through Affinity Group and through
whole-class discussions of coursework.
Always remember Anthony Robbins’ words: “The only limit to
your impact is your imagination and
commitment.”
Please take some time to review the information found on the
course navigation menu. You may also
8. wish to introduce yourself to your colleagues in the Class Café.
If you are new to Blackboard, be sure
to review the information on the Course Home page, which
explains how your course materials are
organized here in the online classroom.
If you have questions, contact Technical Support or your
Instructor before the question becomes a
problem. Once again, welcome!

The emphasis for this Capstone Proposal Project is a proposal
designed to create a real-world social
impact should it become funded. Therefore, you must write a
well-organized proposal that has real-
world potential for funding. The proposal must match criteria
outlined by a foundation of your
choosing. There are too many potential grant makers to provide
a comprehensive list; however, a brief
list of selected potential funding sources is listed in the
resources section of the course to give you a
start. For foundations not included on the list, use the
Foundation Center link in the Syllabus to obtain
information on foundations of which you might be more
familiar. Other helpful source links are also
provided to give a head start on finding funding. You can also
obtain information for venture capital
firms by using the business and government libraries as an
initial source.
The format for this project proposal will help you develop a
13. general proposal that can be tailored to
meet the funding criteria for a major foundation proposal after
the conclusion of your program here at
Walden University. Every foundation and funding source has its
unique criteria and application
processes. However, by completing this project proposal format
you will be well on your way towards
being able to submit a proposal to an actual foundation.

Research Project
The Capstone Research Project Option
The Capstone Research Paper provides you with an opportunity
to explore a social impact research
interest in depth. You will identify one or two research
questions and a problem to be solved and then
explore the subject matter with academic rigor. You will then
write a paper that is a minimum of 25
pages and does not exceed 30 pages on the subject of your
choosing as long as it relates to some
theme studied in the MSL program. (The length of the paper
does not include such things as title
page, abstract, list of references, appendices, etc.) This is a
summary narrative form of paper and
should not use questions as headings or lead-ins to the
narration. Graduate level critical thinking and
writing should be applied when writing this paper and the use of
questions should be minimized and
focused.
14. This paper will be well grounded in the literature and the
subject must be a real-world social impact
problem to be solved. You are strongly advised to write about a
problem with which you are truly
familiar and to apply theory to solve the problem. It is
envisioned that you will write about an
organization, community, or social issue with which you are
intimately involved. You will cite at least
20 sources from refereed journals, 15 of which must not have
been used during your course of study.
You may also use textbooks for the remaining five sources to
complete the 20-citation source
requirement.
The purpose of this paper is for you to demonstrate depth of
knowledge and the ability to function as
a scholar-practitioner. You will use the APA 6th edition as the
source reference for formatting and
writing the paper. This paper is a rigorous study of some
phenomena and you are expected to stay on
point with the subject and to produce a final paper that is
worthy of publication. In addition to the APA
guidelines for formatting papers, you should use the chapter
headings from the downloadable
template below.

Capstone Research Project
Chapter 1 –Introduction/Overview (week 3)
The Importance of Introductions/Overview:
Setting the stage for a study, the introduction establishes the
issue or concern leading to the research by conveying
information about a research problem. Unfortunately, too many
authors of research studies do not clearly identify the research
problem, leaving the reader to decide for himself or herself the
importance of the issue that motivates a study.
Further the research problem is often confused with the research
questions—those questions that the investigator would like
answered in order to understand or explain the problem.
The introduction needs to create reader interest in the topic,
establish the problem that leads to the study, place the study
within a larger context of the scholarly literature, and reach out
to a specific audience.
You will write an introductory overview providing the reader
with sufficient facts about the subject of study. If the study is
about an organizational or community issue, then you will
describe the dynamics, including how long the problem has been
occurring. You should provide enough specific and credible
scholarly data from your search of the literature so that the
reader can fully understand the circumstances and dynamics
with which you are working.
Chapter 2 – Problem Statement (week 3)
The Importance of the Problem Statement:
When researchers begin their studies, they start with one or
more paragraphs to convey the specific research problems or
20. issues. They also present in the first sentence information to
create reader interest in the sentences that follow the first
sentence, authors identify a distinct research problem that needs
to be addressed.
In applied social science research, problems arrive from issues,
difficulties, and current practices. The research problem is the
issue that exists in the literature, in theory, or in practice that
leads to a need for the study. The research problem in a study
begins to become clear when the researcher asks, “What is the
need for this study?” or “What problem influenced the need to
undertake the study?”
You will write a precise explanation of the specific problem to
be solved. While symptoms often lead to the discovery of more
deeply rooted problems and they are important to identify, it is
imperative that you differentiate between the symptoms and the
problem or you will be offering the wrong solutions, which may
be fatal in the real world.
For example, while it is common to say that "the problem is that
morale is low" this is only symptomatic of a much larger
problem such as a failure of leadership. Another example is
saying that "the problem is gang violence in my community and
it is on the rise." This too is symptomatic of a larger problem
such as a scarcity of resources or a sense of hopelessness.
Therefore, be sure to not only discuss the symptom(s) which
help the reader understand the larger framework of the problem,
but to also clearly identify the problem that is to be solved.
Chapter 3 – Purpose/Significance (week 4)
The Purpose Statement:
Whereas introductions focus on the problem leading to the
study, the Purpose Statement establishes the direction for the
research. In fact, the purpose statement is the most important
statement in an entire research study. It orients the reader to the
21. central intent of the study, and from it, all other aspects of the
research follow. In other words, the Purpose Statement indicates
why you want to do the study and what you intend to
accomplish and is the central, controlling idea in a study.
Clearly state what the purpose of the study is and explain the
study's significance. The significance is addressed by discussing
how the study adds to the theoretical body of knowledge in your
field or expertise.
Explain how your research makes an original contribution to the
body of knowledge. You will address the significance of the
study and its importance to your organization or community.
It is especially critical that this chapter be well developed.
Without a clearly defined purpose and strong theoretical
grounding, your Capstone project is fundamentally flawed from
the outset.
Chapter 4 – Research Question(s) (week 4)
Identify at least one, but no more than two, research questions.
The research questions will guide and shape the rest of your
paper. Specifically connect the research questions to the
Problem Statement (in Chapter 2) by elaborating on how you
think the two are related.
Begin the research questions with the words “what” or “how” to
convey an open and emerging design. Focus on a single
phenomenon or concept. Use open-ended questions without
reference to the literature or theory unless otherwise indicated.
Chapter 5 – Methods (week 5)
In this section, describe the methods you used in order to solve
the problem. If you used interviews, surveys, or observations,
then describe those procedures in this section and include a
description of how you conducted them.
Include detailed measures you used to protect any participants
who might participate in surveys and/or interviews.
If you did not conduct interviews, surveys, or observations,
22. explain what you would do in the future if they were needed to
complete your study.
Also, include a thorough description of your literature search
techniques (website links you are using, libraries, accessed,
etc.).
Chapter 6 – Literature Review (week 6)
Use the literature to help you explain the phenomena under
study. In this section, provide a summary of the literature and
discuss how it works in light of the problem you are trying to
resolve. This chapter, however, should not merely string
together what other researchers have found. Rather, you should
discuss and analyze the body of knowledge with the ultimate
goal of determining what is known and is not known about the
topic. The literature review thus describes and analyzes
previous research on the topic
This should be an exhaustive study of the most pertinent
literature on the subject. It will strengthen the paper by
providing some historical context for the evolution of the theory
if this applies. It will also strengthen your paper if articles can
be found that run contrary to the major theories being presented.
It is important for the student to remain completely objective
when writing this paper to ensure that the student is not working
to believe something to be true that otherwise is not. For
example, some take the position that individuals can “lead”
themselves, yet a fundamental definition of leadership is that it
involves followers and without followers you do not have
leadership.
Therefore, the proposition that people can lead themselves
appears to be false. If, however, your position is that you do
believe that a person can indeed lead "self," then it is incumbent
upon you to find literature in the refereed journal resources that
would support this contention. If you are not able to find
literature that supports, your argument then you must clearly
indicate this as part of your findings.
23. .
Chapter 7 – Findings and Conclusions (week 7)
Describe your findings in this section. What did you learn from
your exhaustive study of the problem? What would be your
anticipated results of your findings if you had used surveys,
interviews, or other tools? What did the literature suggest is the
most appropriate way to solve your social impact problem?
What are the implications for future research? What conclusions
are you able to draw from your research?
Chapter 8 – Recommendations (week 7)
Describe your recommendations as though you were making a
presentation to a meeting of senior managers, a city council, a
community planning board, a board of directors, or government
officials. What have you learned from your study of the problem
that provides the basis for making recommendations to solve the
social impact problem?
Appendices (optional and if used include in week 7)
Include in this section copies of interview forms or survey
instruments used as part of your study. Do not include full
reports that you have cited or an abundance of reference
materials. Label each item separately according to APA
guidelines and rules.
Acknowledgments (optional and if included, include in w eek 7)
In this section, acknowledge any individual, group, or
organization without whose help your paper could not have been
written. While it is always nice to acknowledge the support of
family members who provide tacit and emotional support for us
to complete our education, this section is to acknowledge
people who provided actual support and without whose help
your paper could not have been written (e.g., librarians, special
advisors, consultants, organizations, etc.). Therefore, do not
24. include family members unless they provided substantial input
into the creation of this paper.
List of Cited References (ongoing between weeks 3-7)
In this area, include only a list of all of the cited references you
used. Be sure to list all of your refereed journals, books,
monographs, reports, etc., as well as any websites you used to
gather material.
Annotated Bibliography (ongoing between weeks 3-6)
Provide a list of references along with the annotations (see
instructions in Doc Sharing if you need a reminder) you used
during this course. You will begin including your annotated
bibliographies (5 at a time) starting in week three. You will add
five different annotated bibliographies each week for at least a
total of 20 different sources.
Bibliography (optional and included in week 7)
Provide a list of any source material you reviewed but did not
use in this section. Include the links of websites that you visited
but did not use. This will become a helpful resource for you
should you decide to revisit this social impact issue after
graduation. It is also a very helpful tool for other researchers
interested in the same social impact subject.
MMSL 6905 - Capstone: A Case for Leaders as Change
AgentsAPA Formatted Title Page
Portfolio of Visions
Life Mission Statement
Develop a life mission statement for yourself. A mission
statement captures the essence of where you want to go and
what it means to exist. It is a very general statement about what
25. you want to do with your life. The question at the end of your
life will be, "Did I accomplish my mission in life?" It may be
helpful to start your mission statement with "My life mission
statement is…"
Sample Life Mission Statement
My life mission statement is to assist individuals and
organizations to maximize their potentialities: Here is an
example of a life mission statement:
“My life mission statement is to live with integrity and
empathy, become a positive force in the lives of others and
apply my gifts of intelligence, charisma, and optimism to
cultivate the growth and worth within the lives of individuals
around the world.”
Life Vision Statement (minimum 1 page)
A vision statement expands on the mission statement and further
elaborates upon how the mission will become actualized.
Sample Life Vision Statement (minimum 1 page)
“My life vision is to provide influence toward creating a world
where an individual has the ability to contribute with their full
potential; where each person applies their intrinsic genius and
leadership to foster outstanding value, peace, and worth. My
life will be rich with laughter, family, friends, compassion, and
learning. I will strive to live each day as though I had the power
and inspiration essential to influence the world. Through
genuinely listening to and serving others, I will strive to learn
new philosophies and gain a deeper understanding for myself
and those that surround me. I will seek to increase mastery over
life’s trials and hardships through expanding my awareness and
influence. Throughout my life, I will act in ways that allow me
to rise above and become a beacon of light for those who elect
to follow or lead along my journey. Through my adulthood, I
will trust my dreams, visions, and aspirations to ensure I never
become a prisoner of fear. I will remain humble and use my own
personal victories and accomplishments to create value for
26. others. I strive to continue to seek new and innovative sources
of knowledge and for learning and growth. I will continue my
evolution as a spiritual being and never lose sight of the fact
that I have the power to create; create my own reality and my
own environment that can be occupied with each of my dreams
and desires. When my end days come, I want to be able to say,
"I may not have reached the Moon, but I have most definitely
landed on a star.” I choose to make a difference in this world.”
My Walden Path (minimum 3-4 pages)
Begin by reviewing all of your journals written while
participating in the Walden University MSL program. How has
this experience evolved your theory of leadership? How does
this evolved theory inform your life mission? Draw upon your
"End of Course Reflection Journals" to discuss how you have
changed and how your leadership has changed.
Provide a detailed description of the most important things that
you have learned during your time in the MSL program. Recall
some of your expectations upon entering Walden University and
describe to what extent those expectations have been met. How
has your MSL experience shaped who you have become? How
does who you have become enable you to more fully live your
life mission and vision?
Final Stages of Life (minimum 3-4 pages
Address each of the following questions as you what you hope
to have accomplished throughout your life:
· How do you see your final stages of life?
· What do you want to have accomplished by the end of your
life?
· As you consider your final stages of life and the possibility of
having more free time, how do you see yourself using your free
27. time?
· What do hope to have learned about life in general?
· What is truly important to you when you think about creating
a meaningful life for yourself and those you love? It is not
about what we have but what we do with our lives that will
bring us the most joy. You can have all of the toys in the world
and be truly miserable.
Key Life Areas:
Goals
A goal is something that you want to achieve. It is the "what
you want to do." Goals can be relatively short term (1 year) or
much longer in duration. Because of its general nature, a goal is
not always measurable in and of itself, but provides direction
and focus for more specific statements known as objects and
action steps. The farther away in time the goal is away from this
moment, the less we can see in terms of how to accomplish it.
For example, if you reflect back upon your decision path to
attend graduate school, the farther away you were from making
it happen, the less you knew about how it was going to happen.
As you moved closer towards making your decision, it became
less a statement about "I want to attend graduate school" and
more a statement of "I want to attend graduate school at Walden
University."
There are many key areas in life that afford you opportunities to
become successful. Write at least one goal for each key life
area. Include goals for 1 year, 5 years, 15 years, and 20 years:
Sample Mental and Education One–Year Goal:
28. To develop a tribal leadership program for indigenous people
around the world that is steeped in indigenous traditions and is
aligned with their spiritual practices.
Action Statements
An action statement is just what it implies. It is a statement of
intended actions in order to achieve a goal. It helps us to outline
what we have to do in order to accomplish something of
interest.
Sample Action Statement
In order to create a tribal leadership program, I will find a
platform and the resources to create this program. Since I do not
have the resources on my own, I will find like-minded people
who share this vision to help me fulfill my dream of helping
indigenous people improve their lives. I want to accomplish this
within five years.
Objectives
Objectives are measurable statements that are aligned with
individual goals. The statement has a definite time frame
associated with it and often includes specific numbers.
Sample One–Year Objective:
I will write a proposal by July 31, 20__ for funding the pilot
tribal leadership program at one American Indian reservation.
Use the format described above to write your Portfolio of
29. Visions. Write at least one goal and action statement for each
key life area. Write at least one objective for each goal during
the first year only.
