LGBTQ

Some examples of possible issues that could be addressed: if you are addressing the LGTB community, you might focus on their representation in media or even legal problems such as access to bathrooms, conversion therapy, or adoption difficulties. Or, if you are discussing the African American community, you could look at voter suppression in a variety of states or police violence. These are examples only – you may choose to write about them, but you are not limited to them.

Students should address issues that they really care about because a “call to action” is more than an argument; it is a philosophy of the humanities and being humane.

To do this, you will:

Define & identify the minority group (DO NOT address ALL or multiple minorities – focus on ONE) and outline/forecast the major parts of your p*aper
Address, describe, &/or explain a specific problem for that minority group.
Offer a defined, actionable solution and how it will help the group/situation.
Support your contentions and “call to action” throughout your p*aper with valid chains of reason, examples, critical thinking, and most importantly the requirements listed below.
Conclude your p*aper with an explanation on why it matters that this issue is addressed & why it is beneficial to the group & America at large to have this issue dealt with.
