Research paper
My Research paper
The Prompt was: "Using the research you have gathered over the past several weeks, write a 4-6 page research paper explaining the cuases, effects and potential solutions of the social justice issue you have determined to be a hight priority."
The process of writing a research paper was much like writing an essay. It was the same form, we wrote one section after the other. To me it wasn't to hard, it was a nice learning experience. I think because of the previous essay I think that prepared me. Our prompt was basically to write the causes, effects and solutions. My thesis: Despite seeing our veterans return homeless from past wars like Vietnam, the issue of homeless veterans still persists today. Causes including mental health issues and veterans without family support, could be addressed through veterans organizations’ and the government.
