Your Op-Ed should be based on what we have learnt in this course, including relevant readings and lectures. However, you are writing an Op-Ed, so it should not have footnotes or a bibliography at the end.

The total word count for this assignment cannot exceed 500 words. Assignments that exceed 500 words will be penalized by a half-letter grade reduction (A to A-, A- to B+, etc.) every 10 extra words.
