your solution shows that multiple parts of society will benefit from this
solution. Provide evidence from multiple scholarly sources as evidence that
your proposed solution is viable.

Interpret statistical data from at least three,
peer-reviewed scholarly sources. Do this by discussing the validity,
reliability, and any biases; identifying the strengths and weaknesses of these
sources; and pointing out limitations of current research and attempting to
indicate areas for future research. You may even use visual representations
such as graphs or charts to explain statistics from sources. Evaluate the
ethical outcomes that result from your solution. Be sure to provide at least
one positive ethical outcome as well as at least one negative ethical outcome
that could result from your solution, and explain at least two ethical issues
related to each of those outcomes. It’s important to consider all of society.

Develop a conclusion as the last paragraph(s) of
the essay, starting with rephrasing your thesis statement and then presenting
