Argumentative essay

And the topic is: Multiculturalism and Immigration: How has the Canadian federal government’s
immigration and multiculturalism policies evolved during the 20th century? Are their
changes that should be made to the structure of Canada’s immigration policy or the way
that Canada welcomes newcomers?

The essay is to be 8 pages double-spaced and typed using the Times New Roman or Arial
12 point font with 1 inch top, bottom, right, and left margins.
This essay is intended to allow you to analyze a certain question concerning politics come
to conclusions about that question. This should be done by use of a clear thesis statement
followed by paragraphs supporting your argument and finishing with a closing paragraph
re-affirming your thesis statement. The use of at least three quality academic secondary
sources is mandatory (three is a minimum, more than three is required to get a good
mark). A quality academic secondary source is defined as a book or e-book from a
university press or a journal article from a peer-reviewed academic journal. Our textbook,
the Campbell and Christian readings, and the articles used for article review assignment
can be used sparingly but does not count as one of the three academic sources. Overrelying on the textbook instead of doing your own research will be penalized. Also, do
not cite my recorded lectures or the individual activities used during our course as a
source (though, you can cite books, journal articles, or other things that I have published).
Students should use the APA style of citations. Information on the APA citation format
and tips on writing a good essay may found at University Learning Centre’s website at
www.usask.ca/ulc/writing. I have also upload a number of resources on citations and
writing a good thesis statement on Canvas for you to look at. Finally, the department uses
the “Editorial Style Guidelines” of the Canadian Journal of Political Science as its
standard style guide (I have downloaded this onto Canvas for you). You should consult
this document before you start to write your paper. You are allowed to use the pronoun
“I” throughout the paper.
