Paper 2
Context: In Paper 1, you defined an issue or problem. You did so by describing and showing the characteristics of that issue. Now, in Paper 2, the next step in developing your research is to work out the history of that problem. How, essentially, did the events that led up to the current situation function in shaping this issue?
Understanding the historical basis of the problem, and how it has caused the current situation, can help to understand why it exists in its current state, and prepare us in proposing effective solutions later on (Paper 3).
As such, the goal of Paper 2 is to locate and situate relevant historical events that have produced the problem/issue on which you are focusing for your research project. If your topic is more contemporary, for example: AI, and therefore not a topic easily situated within historical context, then you may replace the Historical Causal Analysis with a Literature Review. This switch must be approved of by the professor before the rough draft submission deadline of 10 March 2024.
*”Characteristics” refers to the elements of the situation as it exists now, while “causes” refers to the things in the past that lead to the characteristics of that problem/issue.
This should be 1-2 pages in length, showing that you’ve put critical thought into your topic. It can be an outline, it can be a collection of links with pulled quotes, it can be a partial draft, it can be a string of free-write sentences you hope to add to your paper––does not matter. So long as it is showing that you are working towards a draft, you will get credit.
