Identify a global societal issue from the following list that you would consider researching further for your Week 5 Final Paper:

Climate change

 
Write a page paper – Describe effective methods you used in identifying and narrowing down to just one of the topics to further research for your Final Paper.
The first thing I did when looking at the topics was deciding which topics, I found to be interesting to research. Some of the topics caught my attention but I had very strong feelings for one side of the argument verse the other side. I did not want to take the chance of my essay being to one sided, so I eliminated them. Then I was left with Climate Change and Lack of Education. My degree and future career is in education so I feel this is a good chance to do something different, and that is why I chose Climate Change for my final paper.

There are a few ways to critically analyze sources to determine if they are scholarly, which consist of:

Checking the credentials of the Author/s.
The Source is peer-reviewed

Hsiang Solomon, & Kopp Robert E. (2018: 2024 – Write My Essay For Me | Essay Writing Service For Your Papers Online). An Economist’s Guide to Climate Change Science. The Journal of Economic Perspectives, 32(4), 3.

             The information within this source is how each human has led to the change, reshaping, and alteration of the earth’s climate. From making animals extinct, to removing things from the earth, to emissions and what we exhale all effect the   climate. The industrial era has multiplied the damage that is being imparted on the climate, such as the release of carbon dioxide which will stay in the atmosphere for a approximately a thousand years. The physical science of climate change is the focus in this journal and will support the climate changes that are currently happening.

            Within this source is information about the climate and how it is changing. Climate change is due to humans and thing lick greenhouse emissions. However, this source talks about one of the consequences of climate change to be extreme weather events. The source goes on to mention how to help prepare for and reduce the consequences of climate change, such as extreme weather. The information in this source  helps to possible provide ways that climate change can possibly be reduced.
Explain why scholarly sources should be used to support your writing on the selected topic.
 Using scholarly sources should be used to provide information to support the claims, solutions, and problems being made in the writing. The scholarly sources should   be used because they have been supported by other sources, which is even more support for my writing. Using information from sources that have already been supported gives more of a foundation for my paper to build on. That will also give my writing strength to stand on its own.

JESSICA’S POST:
 
The global societal issue that I have chosen to write about is a lack of education. I have chosen a topic that I know little about, so I would not have a bias or show one side on the subject. The lack of education can be from many different things such as poverty, choice, law, etc.

Write a page paper – Describe effective methods you used in identifying and narrowing down to just one of the topics to further research for your Final Paper.

The method I used to identify and narrow down my topic is Currency, Relevancy, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose (C.R.A.A.P). Using C.R.A.A.P helped me evaluate the articles and web sources that I found by makings sure they are relevant to my topic, current and providing up to date information, scholarly sources, and the author make the purpose the article is definite.

Explain three ways you can critically analyze sources to determine if they are scholarly.

There are three ways that you can analyze a source to determine if they are scholarly. First, check the credentials of the author. You can use a search engine such as goggle to see if they have written other articles. The second way you can analyze a source is scholarly, and that’s by seeing if they are “peer-reviewed”.  This means and expects in that areas have reviewed and written their analyses on the topic. The final way you can analyze if a source is scholarly is to see if they provide other references and citations. If a source cannot provide citations, you should proceed with caution. They might not be providing correct information. 

Summarize information from at least two scholarly journal articles from the Ashford University Library that will support your claims for your chosen topic.

The first article I have found on the topic lack of education is Right or Duty: Reinterpretation of the Nature of the Right to Education in the Compulsory Education Stage. In this article, the authors Shen Suping and Chen Zijian discuss how under the constitution in China, whether or not all children have the right or duty to have an education.
The second article I have found on the topic of lack of education is “United States: Science, Math Education Gap Fueled by Lack of Knowledge on Career Opportunities, Survey Shows.” This article states that our youth in the united states are allowed to attend school, but due to lack of knowledge of programs, they are not engaging in things such as STEAM.

Explain why scholarly sources should be used to support your writing on the selected topic.

A scholarly source(s) should be used when writing any paper to be able to provide support and credibility. It is hugely because your audience will expect you the writer to be able to back up any information that you give, not supporting or supporting the topic at hand.

EXAMPLE RESPONSES:
 
Hello Ronald,
I thought of writing a paper about “Lack of Education” but I thought that I would sound too biased about the topic. You choose a great topic “Climate Control”, I did a paper on climate control in one of my courses. You will find a lot of information when you are doing your research for your final paper.  Your choice in the sources is on point. I am interested to know what direction will you go in climate control, did you choose a sub-topic? Since climate control is broad it may be a good thing to narrow it down to say for instance the issues of climate control. I hope my reply gave you some ideas for critical thought for your final paper.

HAMAD’S POST:

 
Alexander Hamilton, as the Secretary of the Treasury in the Federal government, believed in loose construction of the U.S constitution. This meant that the Congress could establish laws as long as the constitution did not specifically prohibit those laws. Loose construction of the constitution gave Federal government extensive do execute whatever felt necessary for the country. This is a belief born from Hamilton’s school of thought towards human beings and governance. He felt that issues with governance should be made up of small and sensible group of characterized with wisdom, talent and intelligence. Hamilton supported the U.S Constitution that would allow strong executive in the capacity of a president and powerful Federal government with influence on the individual states. Through his series of Federal Papers captured by Kozlowski & Weber, he firmly backed Article 1, section 8 of the Constitution that empowered the Congress to “make any law which shall be necessary and proper(2010 – Essay Writing Service: Write My Essay by Top-Notch Writer).” This clause gave federal government loose interpretation of the Constitution to make laws that seemed necessary and proper to the people.
For example, the Medicare/Medicaid issue that has dominated the Congress since 2017 could have been so far settled without the involvement of the state governments. The states want lifting of the caps placed on the minimal amounts and eligibility criteria employed to settle for a beneficiary. The Federal government, however, want imposing of these caps on the minimum amount and eligibility of the elderly, poor and people with disabilities benefiting from this program. Loose construction of the Constitution would have bestowed the responsibility of making a law proper and necessary to address this condition without consulting the state governments.  As of 2020, half of the states have capped the Medicaid at 783 dollars per month for single applicant and 1,175 dollars for a couple according to the Kaiser Family Foundation website. This would have been a responsibility of the Federal government to make a law that would settle the matter for the welfare of the people.

CODY’S POST:

 
As defined loose construction is seen as laws that were established that do not prohibit the constitution. A topic that isn’t as controversial as it has been is same sex marriage. The Tenth Amendment Network published an article on this topic and the controversy around it.  As we know most if not all states now view same sex marriage as a marriage under the law and is a valid marriage. This movement in the law explains loose construction exactly, in the times where the constitution was written, same sex marriage was not a thing, but the culture we are in now has changed things. Loose construction is said to follow the culture and current times but still does not go against the constitution. Although many people may not agree with these laws and believe its wrong based on their religion but the final word is the constitution and this law does not go against it.
