your paper must focus on a country from Latin America or the Caribbean.
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to cross-culturally analyze the cultural constructs (variations and stereotypes) and issues related to sexuality and gender that exist in Latin America. This assignment will offer an opportunity to explore topics related to the class by critically applying the concepts and theories learned in the lectures and required readings.

Research Paper Content :
- Text and Image Sources: Given the level of broad speculation and falsified claims made on the internet, websites are extremely unreliable to use in this research. Therefore, it is recommended to abstain from using internet sources, which disguise their faultiness by providing selective references to some scholarly research. The use of Google Scholar or any other library database to search for scholarly articles is encouraged, but avoid relying only on Google searches to research topics about Latin America. Links to reliable web sources are listed in the Blackboard shell for this course. In addition, your paper must include text and any additional audiovisual material that may support or enhance the content under discussion. I encourage students to include maps to orient your audience, images and videos to illustrate cultural landscapes, and tables for quantifiable data. Keep in mind that quantitative measurements about foreign locations are meaningless unless they are framed within comparative statements about familiar places. Figures, maps, and tables only do not count toward the minimum pages required. Keep in mind that quantitative measurements about foreign locations are meaningless unless they are framed within comparative statements about familiar places. For example, you can compare the statistical data for your country with that of the United States.
- This is a research paper not an essay or opinion paper so your submission must reflect your bibliographic research and include text and any additional audiovisual material that may support or enhance the content under discussion. In-text citations and references must be provided for text, figures, tables, or data from the textbook, additional readings, or web pages. I also encourage you to include maps to orient your audience, images and videos to illustrate cultural landscapes, and tables for quantifiable data. Keep in mind that quantitative measurements about foreign locations are meaningless unless they are framed within comparative statements about familiar places. Follow a proper in-text (author/date/page number style) and bibliographic citation. You may consult sources such as the Chicago Manual of Style, the Modern Language Association (MLA) Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, or A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations by K. Turabian, for examples of proper bibliographic formats.

Research Outline
Professor’s suggestions are:
-Include a paragraph describing the geography and general environment of Colombia in the introduction of your paper.
-You should include a definition of human and child trafficking, do not assume that your reader knows that.
-Check the e-books and online articles available on the Library. In addition, check the web for UN Human Rights, Unicef, CIA, and Department of State.
