The rights to fair trial or right to equality under the law.

Length No more than 2 pages. My recommendation would be at least 1 page. However, you kno your writing style best. If you are a very succinct writer you may be able to get your point across in just a couple of paragraphs, however, I wouldnt recommend this for everyone.
Subject Pick a current event (or an event within the last 1-2 years) that ties to a concept weve learned in class. Explain the concept weve discussed in class and explain how it relates to the current event. How is it similar or different than other events, what does it say about the current interaction of states regarding global issues, possible solutions to remedy the situation?
Citation Youll need to cite at least one reputable news source (NPR, CNN, BBC, etc.). Well use MLA citation style in this course.
Writing You must approach this as an analysis. Opinion, editorializing, and 1st or 2nd person plural or singular is not acceptable. You must watch grammar, spelling, and punctuation. If I cannot read it then I cannot grade it. You must use this paper to connect the readings to a current event in the real world.
