Write an essay in which you explain how Mark Gold and Cara Horowitz build
an argument to persuade their audience that we need more comprehensive
international policies to eliminate and prevent plastic marine litter. In your
essay, analyze how Gold and Horowitz use one or more of the features listed
in the box above (or features of your own choice) to strengthen the logic and
persuasiveness of their argument. Be sure that your analysis focuses on the
most relevant features of the passage.
Your essay should not explain whether you agree with Gold and Horowitzs
claims, but rather explain how Gold and Horowitz build an argument to
persuade their audience.

Topic needs to be worked on

/in /by

Write a 2 (max 3 page) essay on your research topic (you may see this as the initial brief draft of your research proposal’s first section).

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: You have done something similar in —-. This is different. The same assignment won’t help you here. Your focus is on the methods and research process here.

There are virtually infinite options to study here. I really do not wish to see 2 of the same research. Be original, be authentic. If you have been working in study groups, make sure you have written an original piece, something different than your peers.

In your essay/proposal; include

1. A very brief introduction followed by the research question

2. Hypotheses (these are important because your conceptual and operational definitions will be based on the concepts/constructs/variables stated in your hypotheses)

3. The conceptual and operational definition of your research concepts (these will be the variables from your hypotheses.) (for example: low social cohesion leads to an increase in street crime at the neighborhood level. if this is your hypothesis, then you need to provide conceptual AND operational definitions of social cohesion and street crime)

4. Discuss how you will measure your variables and why your operational definition is valid (Example: I operationalize social cohesion by measuring percent renters, percent single-person household, income, and crime rates,  and it is valid because……………………)

Discuss face validity, criterion-related validity, construct validity and content validity (whichever is relevant for your study and concepts)

5. Identify your unit(s) of analysis

Cite and give references where necessary.

Use research methods concepts and terms. I expect to see signs of scholarly writing.

You have a lot of time for this assignment. Please take your time, do your research and make every sentence count.

1.    Identify major problems/themes Identify the various problems/themes outlined in the case and discuss how they are or are not linked to one another. If you believe there is a theme that dominates the case, you should identify it as such. This is critical. The value of your remaining analysis is largely determined by this step.
2.    Identify potential solutions Develop a set of feasible solutions to help limit your analysis to a finite set of choices.
3.    Develop criteria for addressing/solving the problem State your approach to addressing/solving the problem. What are your relevant considerations? What are alternative solutions and how did you select among them? You should critically analyze the situation given the constraint of information and or resources available to you as indicated in the case.
4.    Make a final recommendation.
