The essay must include a critical analysis of articles from peer reviewed journals that indicate the current (within the last 5 - 7 years 2009-2016) arguments related to your chosen topic as well as other suitable literature.

A Guide to the Five Paragraph Essay

Writing the Five-Paragraph Essay (adapted)
A good, clear format can make any essay easy to write. Structuring your ideas clearly, creating a strong argument statement, and providing lots of support make the essay easier to read. The five-paragraph essay provides a format into which ideas will fit. By using this format you will increase your organisation, your reader`s attention and understanding, and thus your grade.
The Five-Paragraph Format
The five-paragraph format is a tried and true way to structure an essay. The first paragraph is the introduction. It should include a basic overview of the subject matter, as well as an idea of what will be discussed in the body of the work. The paragraph should conclude with a strong argument. The body of the essay should include approximately three paragraphs, each with one well-developed thoughts. The conclusion will sum up the material covered in the body and restate the argument. By following this basic format, any essay can become easy to write.
The Introduction
The introduction is the first thing a reader sees. It sets the tone for the entire piece by laying out not only what will be written, but also how it will be written. Discuss what the body of the essay will include. This is a brief summary of what the subject is, and your opinion about the subject. Finally, conclude with a directly stated argument. This is one sentence including what the point of the essay is and how you plan on proving it. The Introduction should also contain a ‘road-map’ of the contents to follow.
The Body
The body is the true meat of your essay. This is where you lay out your ideas and make your point. Begin your paragraph with a topic sentence. State the point you`re trying to make in this paragraph, along with how you intend to do that. If there is one thing to remember when writing your essay, it should be SUPPORT, SUPPORT, SUPPORT. Just like the essay has three supporting paragraphs, your paragraph should have three supporting points. All points should include citations ie sources from which your ideas come - references. As long as you support the citation you`ve made, quotes can help you when not used to excess – keep them short and pithy and remember to cite the page number of the reference from which you have drawn them. Conclude the paragraph with a wrap-up sentence revisiting the point of the paragraph.
Conclusion
End your essay as neatly as you can. Restate the argument you laid out in the introduction. Talk about the points you`ve made in the essay and to what conclusion those points ultimately lead. This is a great opportunity to look back over your essay and see whether you met the promise of your argument. Did you discuss all the things you planned to? Did you support each with evidence from the text? Finally, did the things you wrote about in your essay point to one ultimate conclusion? The conclusion is the last chance you have to make your point. Make the piece as memorable as possible. Good luck!
Five paragraphs is clearly insufficient for a 2000-2500 word essay – think instead about 5 sections.

I still rely on one single thing to help me write the best possible essay I can . . . an outline. See, the problem with most essays is that the content is disorganized. You may have great ideas and facts that you want to write about, but somewhere during the writing process you start mixing them up. Suddenly your perfect paper sounds all wrong and you want to scream! I`ve found that the best papers I`ve ever written have all started with a good, solid outline. Once you have an outline down, your paper writes itself. Your thoughts are organized and the teacher can understand your main point (which is your argument) and how you supported that point. A focused paper is the key to writing a good essay. Here`s the format for the outline I usually follow:
