If you choose to write a paper, it should be formal, academic and informational. The paper should be a minimum of three full pages of text in Arial 12pt. font with 1-inch margins on all sides and MUST contain a title page and references.  The references should be in ASA format.  A full page means that every line on the page has your writing on it. The majority of the sources used for your paper will be peer-reviewed journal articles.  Scholarly journals contain articles that have been through a process called peer-review.  This means that the articles were read by experts in that articles field and approved as good research.  I will attach 5 articles below that you will incorporate in the essay and use as sources.
