3. Source citation in the body of the paper (footnotes, endnotes, or parenthetical)
4. Well written, accounting for grammar errors
5. Personal/religious/moral reflection on the topic.
Students will choose an issue facing the American political system today and write about that issue, including how Christians or religious voices should or could respond to such issues or how a religious worldview affects how one deal with the political issue. The issue should be well-researched, and a solid argument should be presented. You may discuss how and why Christians or religious voices disagree on certain issues. Students may focus on the American government or an aspect of government or politics. For example, a student could write a paper regarding the ethics of political campaigns or our criminal justice system. Other issues could include abortion, immigration, environmentalism, etc.
You are welcome to consult as many outside sources as needed. Each paper should contain at least three sources, preferably from books or articles. Use internet sources with caution. Never use Wikipedia as a source. Make sure you cite your sources. Do not plagiarize.
