Topic: Does national security justify the transformation into a surveillance society? (In the United States)
You’ll want to connect (synthesize) what others have already said about this problem so that your readers will have an in-depth understanding of the different perspectives of this topic. With this background understanding, you can move to define a new term, refute someone’s point, further support a perspective, etc. This is not a summary assignment. You should not summarize each source individually, and each paragraph should not be dedicated to only one source. During the research portion of this assignment, you may wind up summarizing your articles – this will help you identify patterns and connections among your sources. Because you want to provide an in-depth background, you must do deep and careful research using reputable sources – a simple Google search will not be enough. Include in-text citations where you paraphrase or quote directly from the article. Include a Works Cited or Reference page at the end of the paper.
