Task 5 – Final Project

For your Final Project, you will write a 3-4 page, researched paper in APA format on immigration, in which you make a claim and support it with evidence from sources.

Do some initial research to narrow down the topic of immigration and find a specific wave of immigration, type of immigration, or issue with immigration as the focus of your paper. For example, you could focus on Chinese immigrants to the US in the 1800s, or the history of discrimination against Hispanic immigrants to the US, or what has happened to recent refugees from Syria, or whether immigrants have an overall positive or negative economic impact on host countries.

Once you have determined your topic and research question(s), find 5 sources you will use in your paper and create an APA References page. You may use 1 source from our course, but you have to find at least 4 on your own. You may use as many additional sources, from our course or elsewhere, as you like.

Review the course objectives for this class, below:

1. Argue the rewards of learning from others and how to thrive in a cross-cultural world.

2. Discuss cross-cultural issues and the challenges they bring to our contemporary global society.

3. Classify types of cultural differences and how each acts upon the society in which it originated.

4. Identify the primary cultural elements found across various societal systems.

Be sure you clearly understand these skills and can apply them to the final project. Be thinking about how to show your mastery of these skills in your final essay, which deals with immigration. Review the assignments you submitted this term and the feedback you received, to see what your growth areas are and develop ideas on how to perform better in the final project
