University of Miami Marginalization & Social Entrepreneurial Efforts Research & Annotated Bibliography Please avoid plagiarism
Use very simple words
follow the steps below:
Annotated:
As a critical component of the research process, students will write an annotated bibliography to support the content of their final research project essay. (Please review your final research essay requirements before you begin this assignment. It will give you a direction in regards to the type of sources and information you should be researching). An underlying purpose of the annotated bibliography is to allow students to read more critically, more carefully, rather than simply collect information. In the research process, an annotated bibliography is an instrument to help students formulate a clear thesis, a strong argument.
Questions for Consideration and Exploration: Carefully select and annotate a minimum of ten (10) sources related to your final research project essay. The bibliography should include a combination of scholarly journals, newspaper articles, applicable websites, as well as other relevant, scholarly sources.
Each annotation should include: a summary, an evaluation of the text (which includes the intended audience), and a reflection on its applicability to his/her own research.
Summary: 2-3 sentences about what the source says.
Evaluation: Why is the source valid? What audience is the source targeting? Why does the author of the source have the authority to write about this subject?
Relevance: How is this source connected to your research? How will it help you develop your arguments in the paper?
Your Annotated Bibliographies should follow APA formatting guidelines, be alphabetized, be typed in Times New Roman, 12pt font, and double spaced. You must submit via Canvas.
Research paper:
For this research project, you will explore situations of marginalization and the related social entrepreneurial efforts to bring about justice. Specifically, you will select ONE country OTHER than your own (developed or developing) and will write a detailed, analytically written essay, in which you: 1) discuss what form(s) of marginalization and inequalities are visible in the country of your choice; 2) using theoretical knowledge obtained from your iBook readings (and other relevant class material such as videos if applicable), explain the potential reason(s) behind these form(s) of marginalization; 3) discuss what social entrepreneurial efforts, if any, have been implemented to solve the inequalities you explored; 4) discuss what other social entrepreneurial efforts, if any, could be pursued and how; and 5) why does this all matter globally?
Please note that your essay must give equal attention to these five main areas of inquiry, must be academically written in third person, and grounded in both credible research and theoretical knowledge acquired throughout the semester to support your points. Indeed, the final research project essay is a case study analysis and NOT a product of your own personal opinion.
Suggested Basic Structure:
Introduction
Should have an introduction to the overall topic followed by thesis statement that relates to what your country is and what form(s) of marginalization are visible in your selected country.
Theoretical Analysis
You get to pick your theories and supporting material for this one. Here is where you relate at least three (3) iBook readings in detail to your content to explain the potential reason(s) behind these inequalities you found.
Detail why is the marginalization happening?
Discuss what are the causes or reasons for it?
Existing social entrepreneurial efforts in place
Who is doing what with respect to social entrepreneurship in these two countries to help reduce this/these form(s) of marginalization?
Describe these social entrepreneurs, their social entrepreneurial ventures and their operations?
Have these social entrepreneurial efforts been successful; that is, has justice been achieved in the realm of the social issues they are attempting to tackle? Why or why not?
If there are no efforts in place, explain what could be the reason for this and support your points with materials from your iBook and other course content as needed in addition to your own research findings.
Future social entrepreneurial efforts, if any
What other type of social entrepreneurial efforts, if any, could be pursued and how?
Global relevance
Why does this matter?
What is the global relevance of the form(s) of marginalization you noted in your own selected country for the rest of the world in relation to justice, freedom, and equality?
Conclusion
Restate your thesis in different words and connect your research to the broader social context.
