Reflection Paper

Order Description

Each student is required to create an independent, written project. Each project will include the following requirements:
1. Five to six typed pages with 12 point font, times new roman, double-spaced.
2. A well developed argument or understanding of your topic.
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 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 deals 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 may 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.
