Along with the below requirements I want to show that ageism is not only a problem for older adults, but for young adults just leaving college.

The Final Research Project will present research relating the responsibilities of a critical thinker to contemporary society. In this assignment, you will do the following:

�Research one aspect of a contemporary social problem.

�Define the problem.

�Propose a possible solution for the problem.

�Create an argument that supports your thesis position. You should take on the perspective of a critically thinking researcher. The argument must present a thesis statement and evidence to support the thesis statement.

�Evaluate the ethical outcomes that result from the position you take on the issue and explain how those outcomes would influence society and culture.

�There must be 8 or more source documents used, cited, and referenced

�Interpret statistical data from at least two peer-reviewed scholarly sources.

�Evaluate evidence using the following standards: validity, reliability, and bias related to the chosen topic and accurately identify strengths and weaknesses.

Research and Define the Problem

 You must take on the perspective of your major field of study and explain in your paper what that perspective is and how it informs your view of the topic. The topics listed above are far too broad to write about in 10�12 pages (3,300�3,900 words). Instead, you must choose a narrowly defined thesis and approach it from the perspective of your field.

Example: If you are an economics major, and you are interested in immigration reform, you should approach a very specific aspect of immigration reform through the lens of economic theory and practice. A specific thesis question would not be, �How does illegal immigration influence the U.S. economy?� One could write thousands of pages on such a topic. Instead, a better question would be, �How do illegal immigrant hotel workers in Chicago impact the economy of Northern Illinois?� You would then want to do the research and determine the positive and negative impacts they have, ultimately trying to conclude how illegal immigration in this area should be approached ethically.

Your Argument

 You must present a complete argument, including a major claim with at least five points of evidence, information, or data that will prove the claim.

�The thesis statement must be ◦A clear, simple declarative sentence as the first or last sentence in the opening paragraph of the essay.

◦Of such a nature that it can be substantiated, corroborated, verified, and proved through appeal to primary or secondary academic research source materials.

�The introductory paragraph must ◦Present the thesis statement, an explanation for the importance of the topic, and its relation to the student�s field of study.

�Beliefs, opinions, and personal opinions must not be introduced at any point in the essay.

�All beliefs and opinions should be supported with academic evidence. Sweeping generalizations with no supporting academic evidence do not reflect adequate critical thinking skill
