For the assignment this week, address the following:

· State the topic chosen from the list or topic approved by instructor.

· State the specific issue you will explore.

· This must be stated either as a question (“Should prostitution be legalized?”) or a whether-or-not statement (“Whether prostitution should be legalized”).

· For the stated issue, state three (3) aspects of the issue that you think you will likely develop in your paper. Briefly state why you have chosen each aspect.
