I’m going to paste her specific instructions:
Write a 5-page paper discussing the ethics and effectiveness of one charity in contemporary society. [THE PAPER should start with a hook, something that immediately draws the reader into the paper, make sure to have a clear thesis].
How is the charity funded?
How high are the executives’ salaries?
How many people each year does the charity help?
What is the relevant history of this charity?
Is cultural capitalism involved? That is, does this charity partner with corporations to create revenue?
How is this charity changing, helping, or enabling its constituents?
These questions are designed to get you brainstorming and freewriting. You want to provide a thorough and thoughtful look at the charity you choose, and that will almost certainly include covering the above bullet points in one way or another.
You may use limited first person point of view in your paper, but only if your perspective is necessary through the form of anecdotal evidence. Avoid “I think” statements and announcements as “In this paper I will…” Be careful to avoid second person or “you”. Make sure your sentences are well crafted, clear, and complete.
Your paper should have a minimum of four sources, at least one peer reviewed, and be impeccably formatted according to MLA standards. A peer reviewed source is obtained through our databases in the Sac City library. Becky our Embedded Librarian has prepared this lib guide (Links to an external site.) to help you with sources. Remember you can ask her for help in her pinned discussion thread.
-Please don’t plagiarize this paper will be submitted through turnitin.
