How can we properly train police officers to treat blacks fair
How can we properly train police officers to treat blacks fair
For this project, you’re not trying to take a stance and prove your stance, rather you’re trying to solve a problem within your field of study (or workplace or home or community). Focus on what problems need to be resolved, and also make sure that it has wider relevance so you can find scholarly research to support your proposed solution. Explore the proposed solutions from various viewpoints. Propose the “best” solution that would offer a middle ground for all stakeholders. Much of the challenge with this project is that you must demonstrate you\\\’ve analyzed multiple solutions from multiple perspectives and found a solution that offers a compromise between those perspectives.
Structure of presentation:
Make sure to include the following sections in your presentation:
an introduction and claim,
background,
body,
and a conclusion.
Make sure your presentation includes the following:
A brief background for your topic and the problem you\\\’re addressing,
A discussion of the various sides of the debate, including core values or warrants underlying their arguments
Your compromise solution/claim
An explanation of how that middle ground claim can resolve the core issue for all presented sides (the compromise).

Expectations
Your project should in some way incorporate the following:
Engage a minimum of 2 scholarly (peer-reviewed) sources (from APUS library) and 2 sources of your choice (4 sources total).
Introduce key issues of this problem—why is it a problem? Why has the problem not been resolved already?
Consider key limitations and barriers to solving the problem.
Address key voices within the conversation—what has been proposed so far? Why have those proposals not been implemented?
Address the commonalities of the viewpoints on how to resolve the problem while also addressing the key differences.
Offer your opinion or impression of the proposed resolutions based on close analysis.
Tempt your audience to consider the solution you’re proposing, which should take into consideration the existing proposed solutions, as well as the limitations and barriers.
Note that all writing in the project should be original; the projects will be run through Turnitin upon submission, and all distinctive matching information caught by Turnitin must be formatted as a quotation. DO NOT copy-paste material without immediately marking it as a quotation and citing it. Any multimedia (art, music) inserted or linked in the presentation should also include full bibliographic information.
All projects should have:
A title slide.
MLA or APA citations/reference page.
The project\\\’s text should be 500-1000 words long (There needs to be text in the presentation, but don\\\’t let it dominate the slides. Be choosy about what is displayed on the slides/screen. This is a presentation, not an essay. The majority of your text will be in a typed speech to accompany the presentation, in presenter notes if applicable, or voice recorded.)
