Description

Overview:

The Final Research Argument assignment is introduced here, but it is not due until Module Eight. This assignment is worth up to 250 points of your final course grade.

An important goal of ENC 1102 is to equip you with the writing and research skills to compose a clear, coherent, and engaging research argument. A traditional approach to writing a longer essay includes a process of:

  • Generating a topic and identifying a clear, defendable thesis.
  • Accumulating and evaluating solid academic and popular (news) resources.
  • Organizing a coherent argument (often from an outline) with an introduction, body of supporting evidence, and a conclusion.
  • Working through a recursive drafting process that includes a rough draft, a preliminary draft, and a final draft.

Topics:

The subject matter and argumentative direction of your research argument are open to your choice. You must, however, research and write about a matter of contemporary American public controversy. In recent classes, students have written about gun control, immigration policy, educational access, environmental concerns, and stem-cell research—just to name a few potential topics. Due to the complexity of many of these areas of controversy, you’ll want to identify a subject that you are passionate about early in the course and begin accumulating resources and refining your views. I recommend that you develop a series of research questions that will help you to clarify your position and organize your writing.

Composition Guidelines:

  • Your research argument should be ten pages in length. Because you will also include a “Works Cited” page at the conclusion of your work, the final document that you submit for a grade will stretch to eleven total pages in length.
  • You need to incorporate a minimum of at least ten resources in supporting your work. I recommend a mixture of academic resources (journal articles, reference texts, or chapters from academic books) and popular resources (newspaper and magazine articles, TED Talks, or podcasts) for your essay.
  • Your essay must be formatted to meet MLA standards. Please review Module Five for information on citing resources with MLA documentation principles.
  • Please use either the Times New Roman or the Courier New font for your work. Depending on the length of your essay, you can use 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, or (preferably) 12-pt font size. Your work should be double spaced. Please do not include an extra space between paragraphs.
  • Do not include a cover page for this assignment (some instructors may ask for one in other classes).
  • Up to three reasonably sized images (charts, graphs, and photographs) are acceptable. Please re-size them so that the images are not pixelated, and center them in your document with text above and below. Label them Figure 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 (for images) or Table 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 (for charts and graphs). You can use both images and charts, of course, but just make sure that you label them accordingly.

INTRODUCTION

The Population Resource Center documented that approximately an eighth of the
American population comprises of individuals aged 65 and above. This is a significant increase
compared to a tenth that was recorded during the 1950s. The increase in the number of senior
citizens will come with challenges on how they should be maintained financially and healthwise. Generally, people become weaker and delicate as they grow older and this poses a
challenge in how they are handled. Such humans need a lot of attention and this should come
from the government, family and other caregivers. Old people should be managed in terms of
health insurance and education as well as finance insurance and education. In reference to this,
there is a need to increase resources that will enhance health and financial health literacy
accompanied by appropriate healthcare policies that are vital for the effective management of
elderly healthcare and financial choices.
Financial literacy
Managing financial assets has been an area of study in contemporary society due to the
state of the economy. The American economy is capitalist in nature and in wealth accumulation,
people should have the ability to save and invest wisely. According to Anthes (2004, 49),

financial professionals argue that people ought to be equipped with basic reading skills, math
literacy as well as have basic skills in money management if they have to effectively survive the
current times. It is, therefore, possible for a person to have the academic knowledge and still be
illiterate in terms of financial management. Financial literacy helps one to make informed
decisions because of the knowledge in financial concepts and issues that affect the economy.
This knowledge helps in making informed financial decisions that have positive impacts on the
economic value of an individual.
Financial literacy is defined by Anthes (2004, 49) as the capability of reading, analyzing,
managing, and communicating in regard to individual financial conditions that impact an
individual’s wellbeing. He adds that financial literacy also features the ability to make sound
financial decisions and discuss issues related to money and finances without any difficulties. An
individual deemed to be well acquainted with financial literacy has the capabilities of planning
for the future days and effectively respond to everyday events that impact their financial matters
such as the prevailing economic times. Most adult American citizens are financially illiterate and
do not know how to prioritize needs. This is mostly because of the burdens that face them which
include having to pay for most services out of pocket after retirement. Some of the needs may
overwhelm them and in return make them spend money unwisely which has been a common
case. Empirical evidence claims that as a person ages, their financial literacy decreases. This
makes adults to lack the ability to make informed decisions concerning their finances as they live
on fixed incomes. In essence, financial illiteracy is prevalent among the older citizens of
America and remedies should be put in place to ensure that they are covered to avoid
mismanagement during this period.

Health literacy
The health of humans has been prioritized by scientists over the years. Survival of the
human race is depended on how well they manage their health and that of their surroundings. A
healthy world is equivalent to a sustainable work environment which ensures the prosperity of
nations. The ability of an individual to obtain, process, communicate and understand different
health concepts to make informed decisions is called health literacy. According to Macloed et al.
(4), health literacy focuses on how to manage an individual’s health needs other than
coordinating those needs in relation to payment options and healthcare treatment. Similar to
financial literacy, old age, lower income, and low education levels are directly proportional to
health illiteracy.
According to empirical studies, 36% of American adults have low health literacy levels.
