For your research project, you will need to choose an issue that is affecting your local community (this could be a political or social issue that is impacting your neighborhood, town, or county). Do not choose an issue that you have a strong bias towards. Instead, choose an issue about which you can present a reasonable and interesting argument and on which you can find at least five sources. Below are a few example topics: Health Care access in your local town or county Issues with poverty, education, crime, etc. in your local town or county GenX contamination in local water sources in Bladen/Cumberland counties Environmental problems within your local community A resource or service your community needs Another issue or problem your community is facing Requirements: Proposal Content: Present your issue as a question (i.e. How can we solve issue “A” in community “B”?) and give an overview of the issue. Explain how the issue is affecting your community. Discuss the basics of the issue, how it is relevant, why it is important to investigate, what makes it arguable, and any important context that will help introduce readers to the discussion. Then, present your hypothesis. At the end of this project, you will need to propose a solution to help fix your community’s issue/problem. Your hypothesis here would be what you think at this point might be a possible solution to this problem (your solution will serve as your argument for this project). Keep in mind that true critical thinking requires that we investigate all claims, so it is possible that you will arrive at a conclusion contrary to your hypothesis after you have thoroughly researched and evaluated your topic. Proposal Length: Your proposal should be a minimum of 350 words.
