The paper should adhere to the following guidelines:

· For the main sections it should have a:

· A title page: The title should be appropriate as per the topics chosen for research.

· An introduction: This should be 2- to 3-pages in length. The introduction provides a brief overview of what will be covered and the purpose of the term paper.

· A literature review: The literature review is taken in part from the Annotated Bibliography wrote in  Week 3. The literature review is not a copy of that material. Rather, it is a synthesis of the relevant material into a cohesive review of the literature on your chosen topic. Thus, it is not a copy of your Annotated Bibliography. This should be 2-3 pages.

· Discussion and conclusions: The difference between a great term paper and a marginal one is the depth and originality of the discussion and conclusions section. This is where you bring together what you learned from the literature review (as well as through the course) in your concluding remarks regarding your topic. This is the section that you draw connections between the research and course. The discussion and conclusions section should be one to two pages in length.

· Reference page: Remember to follow APA format and style.

· You should include  6 current (published within the last 5 years) peer reviewed journals plus the text so a total of  7 references in your final paper.
