I. Define the social problem you are going to address.
State the need by using should.
Example – What should be done about…
Define any unclear terms.
II. Analyze the problem
Use a variety of forms of support to prove a problem or need exists. Make sure
material is adapted to audience or readers.
Use evidence that is well documented.
III. Establish the criteria for the solution
State what the solution must do and must avoid.
Example – The solution should reduce high school absences.
The solution should avoid giving out of school suspension
which only increases student absences.
Note: It is very important that you set clear and concise criteria for the solution before
developing the solution. This is similar to refuting opposing viewpoints.
IV. Develop possible solutions
Brainstorm as many ideas for solutions that you can.
Eliminate solutions that do not meet the criteria
V. Present the solution that best fits the need or problem
Use research that proves this solution will correct or fix the problem.
VI. Implementation of the solution.
Show how the solution can be implemented into society.
Explain step by step how this solution will be funded and actually be
put into action.
The body of the research paper defines a social problem, analyzes or proves the problem exists,
provides a set of criteria to do and avoid when developing a solution, provides a list of possible
solutions, presents a final solution and shows how it can be implemented. Also include an
introduction and conclusion in your research paper. An introduction should capture attention,
introduce the subject, establish credibility, and preview the main points. The conclusion should
signal an ending, summarize the information, and give the reader somewhere to go with the
information.
What I currently have…..
Every sport out there requires some form of hand and eye coordination and golf is no different. Golf is considered a sport that is based off of mental toughness and the players have a specialized skill set in analyzing data on the fly to understanding the dynamics of the course, weather conditions, equipment, and the competition.

The current problem is that people should think of golf as a sport and not an activity to do with friends.

III. Establish the criteria for the solution
Define what a sport is along with information about the golf industry.
The solution must define the standards of a sport, while showing if golf does or does not meet those standards.
IV. Develop possible solutions
People do not understand why golf is a sport
People do not understand the history or techniques in golf
People do not understand what a sport is defined as
V. Present the solution that best fits the need or problem
Present the solution that is found
VI. Implementation of the solution.
How you will implement the solution.
