Opioid Crisis in the USA

For this final assignment, you will complete a 2000-2500-word research paper (approximately 8- to 10-
pages) in which you will analyze and synthesize literature on a selected topic, develop and support a
thesis, and practice ethical scholarship, including the use of appropriate citation style.
Topic and Topic Selection: You will examine the impact of a crisis and resolution, whether political,
social, economic or environmental, and seek to answer questions concerning group definitions, goals and
justifications, the impact of the crisis, and ways in which the crisis is being or can be resolved. As you
will be exploring and writing about this topic for most of this term, I urge you to choose a topic that you
are interested in. You may choose a topic that you have explored before in some other context and in
which you have been interested for some time. You might take this as as an opportunity to explore a topic
that you don’t know much about. It might be a topic that is related to your major, or a topic of interest to
you outside your educational and professional pursuits. Regardless of the direction you take, please keep
in mind that handing in work that you produced for other classes constitutes academic plagiarism, and it
will be treated as such. If you have any questions about your topic, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Note on Word Count/Page Length Requirements: The word count excludes endmatter items, such as a
works cited page, and frontmatter items, such as a title page.However, you must include a works cited
page, and you should plan to include frontmatter items (such as an abstract and/or a title page) in
accordance with the guidelines of the style you are using (APA or MLA).
Your paper should be at least 2000-2500 words (about 8-10 pages), excluding frontmatter and endmatter.
