3.This portion of the paper should be the first 2/3 of the paper.

4.    The last 1/3 of the paper needs to present your personal thoughts on the topic and more specifically your thoughts on the articles. In this section, you should also address how this topic relates to what you have learned in class. No additional research is needed or necessary.
