Your research essay for the class is going to be an argumentative essay based on racial profiling, globalization or the U.S. Patriot Act. For this essay, you'll need to summarize the issue and state your case, support your position on the issue, and present and address the perspective of the opposition. In your conclusion, I recommend you urge the reader to act or propose a solution. You must use the reading material we will go over in class from The Bedford Reader in addition to one outside source that is not a website (journal article, e-book, etc.). This essay should be four to six pages long, in M.L.A. format.
