Addiction to Drugs: The Problem’s Reflection
In The Songs of “Red Hot Chili Peppers”
Writing Criteria
American popular music engages and reflects issues in American society such as race, class, gender and sexuality, technology, and politics. You will be writing a paper that addresses the intersection of American popular music (defined widely) and a related issue through an analysis of a particular artist, group, genre, or social issue. Rather than simply explaining the issue and the describing the music, you are required to demonstrate how the issue informs the music and vice versa. You will need to think critically about your chosen topic to dig deeper than an overview or history of a musical genre or band.
It is necessary that you back up your argument with evidence and scholarly literature. Be sure to cite when using someone else’s ideas or words (including song lyrics). These are the kinds of questions I would like you to consider in your paper:
What does the music add to your understanding of the issue?
How do the songs help to shape the artists’ approach to the subject?
What aspects of the music can be used to support your argument?
What are the cultural implications caused by the music or group?
What was the social atmosphere that allowed this music or group to become popular or influential?
Why is this music, group, or artist important?
Your research paper must be between 6-8 double-spaced pages long and include a bibliography with ten sources. At least five of the ten sources must be peer-reviewed. Wikipedia is not an appropriate source for this kind of writing; please avoid it.Paper Criteria (40 points total):

In every Gordon Rule course at FIU, students must demonstrate “college-level writing skills.” College-level writing must exhibit the following characteristics:
It has clear purpose and thesis or controlling ideas.
The thesis is supported with adequate reasons and evidence.
It shows sustained analysis and critical thought.
It is organized clearly and logically.
It shows knowledge of conventions of standard written English.
It shows awareness of disciplinary conventions in regard to content, style, form, and delivery methods.
Moreover, sources must be cited as appropriate.Thesis Statement: The thesis is the central idea of your paper around which all your evidence and claims are organized. Every single paragraph should be dedicated in a clear way to proving your thesis. In your essay, the thesis should be stated as quickly and as clearly as possible. In fact, many teachers will expect your thesis statement to appear in the last sentence of your essay’s first paragraph. A vivid thesis statement will announce the steps of its argument, not just provide a flat statement of the essay’s ultimate goal. Think of the thesis as a roadmap that gives directions to your reader rather than as a picture of your final destination. A good thesis should not state something that is obviously true. When your thesis is too easy to prove, your essay can become repetitive and you may feel that you do not have enough to write about. A complex thesis, on the other hand, requires you to convince your reader that your argument is logical and will reveal ideas that cannot be easily anticipated. A worthwhile thesis will always outline an argument with which a reader can readily disagree.
These are two links to guide you to write a good thesis statement:
http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/thesis_statement.shtml
http://www.unc.edu/depts/wcweb/handouts/thesis.htmlWhen reading your essays, I will be looking at three different elements: Content, Style, and Research.
You will receive a grade in each of these areas, and these grades will then be averaged together for your final essay grade. Content refers to the information in your paper.
Is it correct? Is it detailed? Do you demonstrate basic knowledge of the religious tradition? Is this knowledge evident in your description of the service? Style refers to how that information is presented. This includes the way the information is organized and language skills such as spelling, grammar, and proper sentence structure. Research refers to the quality and quantity of your research.7 Pages
