Should online gambling be legal in the state of California. Yes or no. (I am pro online gambling) – 20210618P

Every student must select one topic and write a position paper 8 pages. The paper must be double spaced. It should have a list of references/bibliography at the end. Please remember that the number of pages (excluding the cover page and the list of references) should NOT exceed 8 pages under any circumstances. Also, no two students should have the same position on the same topic. These suggested topics do not support any of the ideas presented in the formulation of the questions/topics raised. They are NOT reflection of your own professor’s belief or ideas. They are supposed to be provocative and you may be totally against them or find support for a number of them. The important issue in here is to argue against or for and pay attention on how you can support or reject them with the power of your reasoning. Remember your position can be for, against or a mixture and conditional support of any of the arguments given below but your grade for the assignment is based on the strength of your reasoning and nothing else: The important issue is that every student should write her/his own paper independently without consulting other fellow students who may have the same interest in selection of a topic. Remember that you need to look at the existing literature and review at least 6 academically credible (published in a nationally or internationally known and well reputed academic or other creditable media) sources. Using more references is strongly encouraged. You MUST use the headers of Introduction, Review, Individual Analysis, and Conclusion & Policy Implications. Please include a cover page that includes your chosen topic. Don’t forget to include page numbers with page 1 starting with the introduction header. With some differences, most research papers in economics have the following segments: Formulating the research question (extensive advice will be given by the professor in the first meeting of the class). An introduction to the topic: Begin the paper by giving reasons for the selection of the topic. It is also useful to indicate the possible uses of the study in its introduction. Survey of the existing literature: Research in every field is only a link between what exists and what can be further explored; therefore, it is necessary to give a brief account of what others discovered in that particular field of study. Conduct individual analysis: Here the student should use her/his own methodology and analysis and present the study’s achievements. The major part of the researcher’s contribution appears in this section. Conclusion and Policy Implications: A study in economics should help in the making of better decisions. Because of this, a researcher is often faced with and should address the question of policy implications in her/his study. All additional analyses or data can be put in the appendices. If statistics or views are presented that are not of the researcher, the source should be mentioned in the appropriate fashion. A bibliography is needed for the paper. One of the prevailing methods of expressing the references (in a consistent manner throughout the paper) should be used. Do not use emotional or sarcastic phrases. Mention, if possible, the need for more elaborated work or questions that the study may raise. Mention the shortcomings of the study rather than hiding them. Requirements: 8 pages
