This assignment asks you to take up one of the issues, events, or objects you have been exploring in class in order to persuade an audience that this issue, event, or object represents or presents some problem exists in the world. In doing so, you will investigate whether or not the problem is publically recognized, and if not, why it should be.

You will then investigate the historical/political/cultural/legal, and/or economic conditions that have produced, shaped, and/or complicated the problem.
