Why marijuana should be made illegal
Introduction: (1-2 pages) What is your topic? Why might others find it important? Generally speaking, what kind of research has been published about this topic? Background/Literature Review: (2-3 pages) This section should be a more in-depth summary of the literature about your topic. You should not be expressing any opinions of your own in this section – the purpose here is to describe what has been published/what is known. Discussion: (2-3 pages) This section should be your own interpretation of the literature review.

Does this finding inform your perception of current laws? Would you suggest changing the law? And so on… References: Within your paper, you must cite a minimum of 7 peer-reviewed documents (I suggest searching for them using the library’s search engines or Google Scholar). You should use APA style citations for in-text citations: – E.g., “Text text text text (Author, Author & Author, Year).” – A good reference for APA style citations can be found here: http://www.library.cornell.edu/resrch/citmanage/apa
