Each student will be responsible for submitting three scholarly papers. The second paper will relate to a topic discussed in this module's reading. Please select from the following topics listed below. Please keep in mind that this is a research paper, not a reaction or opinion paper. Your instructor is looking for cited information regarding the topic.
