gain, in this Module, you will find several websites to review. Please do so. After reviewing ALL the links, please comment on the following issues:

— FGM and Psychological Repercussions

— Cultural Differences and FGM

— Human Rights and FGM

Write a no less than 6 page (including Title page and Reference page) paper reacting to the information presented on the websites, utilizing the discussion items above. Some websites posted should be used.  Plus, YOU MUST do additional research outside of what is posted on Blackboard to support your paper.

Use proper writing techniques (APA format only). There is the Purdue Owl link in this Module and under Learning Materials that discusses various writing formats. DO NOT use an abstract nor the author’s note.  This is not a research design paper presented on Purdue Owl but a research paper.  The format is a bit different.  If you have any concerns on formatting, I STRONGLY SUGGEST using the Tutoring and Learning Center at TRC as they can help with proofreading and formatting your paper email me with your questions. 

Remember, this is a small paper but it should be written in proper APA writing format, including the basics: title page; headings; the body should reflect an intro, body, and conclusion; reference page, double spacing.  I expect to see information from the required websites utilized. This paper should be written in APA, 7th edition, format.  Again, use the Purdue Owl link for APA writing format and the TLC at TRC.

The total points for this paper will be 100 points.  It is the same as an exam.  I do grade following the Social Science Rubric.  I expect that each student does his/her best on this assignment, just as one with with an exam.  Following directions is also considered when grading.

The paper will be graded on the following areas:

Knowledge and Content
Communication
Analysis, Interpretation, and Application
The Diversity of the Human Condition
