Research Proposal

In this assignment, you will present a short proposal (about one page) for your final research project. Using question 1 from exercise 4.4, address the following issues:

• The specific issues you will examine. Your topic should be narrow enough to be completely researched in 10-12 pages.
• The significance of your topic.
• Also consider your audience: to whom is this topic important, and why?
• Include a list of preliminary sources: books, articles, authors, websites that you used or could use in your preliminary research.
