You must use the DVC Library Database for this assignment, and you must log in using your student ID number. Click here to access the database: http://dvc.libguides.com/az.php?a=all (Links to an external site.). I recommend using EBSCO or JSTOR, but any archive in this database is valid. You may use the articles to quote/paraphrase, and you should find articles that: add a new perspective on the topic; support your claims; provide counter-arguments to the authors we have read; and/or provide facts, statistics, experiences, or examples that you can use in your essay.(I will give you)

This means it will be typed, double-spaced, in 12-point font (I prefer Times New Roman), with page numbers and your last name on each page, and a header on the first page. Your title should be original, and you must include a Works Cited page. Be sure to include in-text citations in the body of the essay.
