For this essay you will need to identify an area of interest for researching. You will need to then formulate a topic pertinent to this area of interest and conduct organized and documented research to investigate this issue. You will not be taking a side and presenting an argument.  Remember that this is a research report, not a persuasive essay.

You will be expected to write a full investigative report and present research from credible sources to back up your findings.
