Climate Change and the Need for Altenative Fuel Sources

FINAL PROJECT
This project will require you write at least 4 pages (Not including citation pages, graphics and tables), double-spaced research paper. Your paper will be well researched, fully cited, written professionally, and proofread.
This paper will give you the opportunity to explore one topic of your choice that relates to globalization. Your paper will be organized around a central question. The question could be one topic discussed in class, or pick one topic of your choice.
The following topics are just some examples:
 Does global urbanization lead primarily to undesirable consequences?
 Should the World continue to rely on Oil as the major source of energy?
 Is the threat of global warming real?
 Is the International community adequately prepared to address global health pandemics?
 Is the global economic crisis a failure of capitalism?
 Is social media becoming the most powerful force in global politics?
 Will China be the next Superpower?
 Or any other issues relate to globalization
This final report aims at developing your ability to think and work independently and apply your knowledge of globalization to a specific topic. Therefore, the guidelines for this paper are very broad. Each topic of globalization could easily comprise dozens of pages of work. As such, you must be as succinct as possible and make the most of your 4 pages!
Your paper MUST include a minimum of 4 references. I highly recommend you include academic journal articles or book chapters. However, other types of references are also acceptable such as newspaper articles (e.g., New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, et al.), reports, documentations. Particularly, for the news articles, some sources are credible and others are not. The newspapers listed in the aforementioned parenthesis are all trusted sources. A random blog post is NOT an acceptable source of reference. Wikipedia also does NOT count as a reference.
You should list all the references alphabetically by first author at the end of your paper, under the heading called References or Works Cited.

Plagiarism
As always, plagiarism is NOT tolerable! Copying text from a source and passing onto your own without attribution is a violation of the UConn Student Code, and will result in a grade of zero. Instead, state the ideas from the source in your own words, and add a citation as described above. All essays will be checked for plagiarism using multiple methods including automatic text- detection software.
