from helping others, job market prospects now and in the future, and opportunities to use specific talents/skills.

sources (not personal beliefs or unsubstantiated claims) to support your argument. Then, use each of those
reasons as the focus of one of the body paragraphs in your essay. You may choose to use the three reasons as an

parenthetical citations.

the minimum number of sources (3).
You will also lose substantial points if you do not incorporate appropriate signal phrases leading into
your quotations.
Each body paragraph should include a minimum of one parenthetical source citation.
Citing multiple sources in each body paragraph and using appropriate proof quotations are signs of a
well-synthesized and argued paper.
Whether material is directly quoted, paraphrased, or summarized, if it is taken from a source, you must
cite the source in the appropriate manner.
A maximum of 20% of your paper may consist of direct quotations.
You must put quotation marks around directly quoted material and cite it using a parenthetical citation.
