In the Explaining a Concept Paper, you will simply want to explain a concept of your choice, using research to support your explanations/definitions. This paper should be at least 4-6 pages long, it should include at least two sources, and it should accomplish the following:
* Inform your particular audience about a specific subject.
* Present information confidently and efficiently.
* Use established information for support, as well as personal "evidence" (if applicable) such as short anecdotes and examples from your own experience, or the experience of others.
* Maintain an informative tone (not an argumentative tone, as this is not an argumentative or persuasive paper).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Papers on the following topics will not be accepted:
* abortion
* capital punishment
* euthanasia
These topics are far too controversial for the Explaining a Concept Research Paper, which should be informative (not persuasive) in its purpose. Also, I've already read more papers on these topics than anyone should in an entire lifetime, so I won't read anymore. I encourage you to be more creative in selecting your topic.
