Individually, you will write a 2-3 page persuasive essay (double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12pt font) in APA format on your group’s UN topic. Cite at least three sources in APA style (the reference page does not count toward the page count). The essay should include the following information:
What is the issue you are covering? Briefly cite information about the extent of the problem. This section should be shorter compared to the other sections.
How have businesses (global, national, and/or local) tried to address this issue? Explain at least three examples. Cite your sources.
Critically analyze what you discussed in point 2. For each example answer:
Which component of the problem (e.g., social, economic, environmental, and/or political) did the business’s solution address?
Was this a good approach?
What could businesses do better to make a lasting impact related to this issue?
Why is it important for companies to address this problem?
