Research Question and Paragraph

Turn in a preliminary research question accompanied by a paragraph explaining why you think that question is interesting and important to answer. Include citations to at least two peer-reviewed scholarly sources that you would anticipate using to inform a research proposal around that question. Use APA or ASA format to cite those sources in the text and to list references at the end of the document.
