Unit VII Research Paper
Problem-Solution
In Unit V, you picked a periphery or semi-periphery nation and began researching a social problem(s) being faced in
the nation along with solutions to that problem.
In Unit VII, you are going to write a Problem-Solution Research Paper (at least four pages long) analyzing some of the
social issues and struggles being faced by the nation in the periphery or semi-periphery region and present solutions to
these issues. You will be incorporating important course concepts into your research paper as well, such as globalization,
importance of geography, and sustainability. The material from the Unit V essay can be used in your Unit VII ProblemSolution
Paper. You can, but are not required to, use section headings in the final paper.
