Please read the attachment document very carefully as it is the assignment guidelines/instructions as well as the assignment itself under "Paper 5 Assignment" written in Red. There must be a total of 5 sources total that you need and the 5 required sources is in the attached document. This assignment needs to be well written with no plagiarism. And please deliver it on time. No matter, still follow the assignment very carefully and cite properly. Again, only use sources that I have requested in the uploaded assignment document.

Do not describe or just simply report the information in the article--The purpose of the paper is to analyze and use the readings to inform your analysis.
Written 5 Assignment Guidelines
Critical Analysis Is Not Simply Reporting …
After reading the chapter and any supplemental assigned reading a written exercise allows you the opportunity to write an analysis of the content area. These written assignments require that you go beyond just reporting on what the reading say, to a critical analysis of the topic discussing the topic from the multiple aspects listed in the description of the topic.
Written analysis will be graded on the following:
- Analysis of the issues
- Understanding of the complexity of the issue
- Integration of exercise information
- Clarity of thought and flow of ideas
- Quality of writing in terms of word choice, composition
- Mechanics (punctuation, spelling, grammar)
- Completeness of assignment
Framework from Readings
Your readings are to inform and provide a framework for your written analysis; therefore, you must refer to the readings in your papers using complete citations.
Paper Format
You must submit your papers with acceptable format; choose the format [APA] and use it consistently. Note that grades will be lowered for mechanical errors.
