Explore the main contributing causes (at least 3) of the problem you explored

In a six-paragraph, academic essay, please explore the main contributing causes (at least 3) of the problem you explored in Essay #1. Please be sure the causes you name are specific to the problem. Determine, through a compare and contrast essay, which contributing cause is most responsible for the problem. Interview someone you know for their thoughts on the causes. Most importantly, provide evidence from at least 5 outside sources (5 from Pierce College Library Databases and 1 interview with someone you know). THESE SOURCES MUST BE DIFFERENT THAN THE ONES YOU USED IN ESSAY #1.

Each body paragraph should directly compare causes to each other.

Prove that one contributing cause is most responsible using 6 outside sources

Please do not explore solutions to this problem; that will be the subject of our essay #3

Take time to fully understand the difference between cause, problem, and effect. Confusing these terms can cause problems down the line

THESIS FOR ESSAY #2!

Your thesis should tell:

1. What the limited topic is

2. What your side is

3. How you know your side is correct

Example:

1. The 3 biggest causes of disinformation today the small number of people who control most of the media, an active information war perpetrated by a hostile foreign country, and news outlets that rely on freelance journalists who are undereducated and do not have time to investigate truth properly.

2. The most responsible cause is the small number of people who control most of the media

3. We know this is true because the last two causes would in fact be mitigated if America had a variety of reliable news outlets to cover these issues.
