Your partner in Aerospace Drones is a service-disabled Iraq war veteran. You recently learned about a federal acquisition rule allowing agencies to provide sole-source and set-aside contracts to service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses. This means agencies must devote three percent of their spending to this qualified small business owners, a goal set by Congress in the 00s. While your partner has majority (51%) ownership in the company, you are responsible for federal contract administration and oversight. You were recently alerted to an Energy Department RFP for drones needed for geo mapping. Now you must reply to a U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Schedules solicitation for your products.

Purpose: In completing the reading, writing, and viewing assignments up to this point, you have been working towards the Student Learning Outcome of arguing a point and supporting it (in writing) using extensive evidence from outside sources. You will demonstrate this SLO by composing an essay in response to viewing the documentary short film Knife Skills (Links to an external site.)(2017).
Watch this video on The Scene. (Links to an external site.)
Task and Guidelines: For this midterm, you will write a minimum 750-word (about 2.5 pages) essay response in which you will summarize, analyze, synthesize, and respond to the film:

What is a Research Paper
What is a Research Paper?
Your research paper should be 6-8 pages in length (double-spaced, title page and reference page do not count) and should cite 6-10 sources. Sources must be documented using the APA format. Visit the Empire State College’s Writing Resource Center to get help with documenting sources or visit Purdue Online Writing Lab’s page on APA style.
The Purpose of your Research
A research paper is more than the sum of your sources, more than a collection of different pieces of information about a topic, and more than a review of literature in a field. A research paper analyzes a perspective or argues a point. In an analytical research paper, you do research to become an expert on a topic so that you can restructure and present the parts of the topic from your own perspective. An argumentative research paper needs to support your stand on an issue. An argumentative research paper uses information as evidence to support a point. To learn more about what a research paper is, visit the ESC Research Writing site.
Research Paper Format
Use the following format for the research paper as your “guide”. Note the word “guide” because you may find a need, given the specific topic you have selected, to modify. Remember that this is a research paper – not a longer version of an essay. The research paper should contain the following format: Title page, Purpose of Study, Opening Statement, Assumption or Hypothesis, Discussion of Findings, Recommendations, Conclusion/Summary, and Reference Page.
Title Page – It should be concise and descriptive–creative wouldn’t hurt! Your names, course name and number, college and term should be listed.
Purpose of Study – The final project should include a succinct statement that explains why you selected the particular area of interest and why it lends itself to a research paper. State the purpose of your research and why it interests you. You should also identify the audience for your work.
Opening Statement, Assumptions or Hypothesis
The project is a rigorous academic exercise and should be carefully thought out from beginning to end. It is imperative that you resist presentation of opinion as fact, and instead develop assumptions or hypotheses without reaching conclusions before you investigate the topic. The opening statement, argument or hypothesis focuses your ideas for the paper; it’s your argument, insight or viewpoint summarized into a sentence or two that gives the reader your main idea. It presents the rationale for your paper and clearly indicates why it is worth exploring. If you are not sure about how to refine, narrow or broaden your thesis, please visit “Finding Your Thesis” the Empire State College’s Writing Resource Center.
Discussion of Findings
You must demonstrate that you have expanded your knowledge of the subject. This is where you must cite between 10-15 sources using the APA format. This section should discuss and offer an interpretation of the sources you cite. Choose the sources carefully. They should demonstrate your understanding of the research issues related to your topic and show your ability to critically evaluate/integrate the literary sources.
Recommendations
Given your findings, what do you recommend be done? Use your findings to support your recommendations.
Conclusion/Summary
In these sections, the emphasis should be on what has been learned about the assumptions, the limits of this particular inquiry, and the implications of the findings.
Reference Page
Documenting sources at the end of the research paper consists of listing all of the sources from which you quoted, paraphrased, or summarized. In APA style, the sources in a paper are listed alphabetically on a separate page headed References. It follows the final page of the text and is numbered. By citing your sources you are letting your reader know that you’ve consulted experts whose ideas and information back up your own thoughts and ideas. You must cite your sources correctly so that your academic integrity is not called into question. If you don’t document, you could inadvertently be plagiarizing.
Your written assignment is intended to test your understanding of important concepts and discover how to sharpen your intellectual skills of analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and application. The intent of the written assignment is to provide an opportunity to more fully describe, explain, and analyze the books and other sources. Be sure to cite any and all sources correctly so that your academic integrity is not called into question. Developing a Bibliography and research writing is distinct in approach and technique. The information here describes the various stages of research writing and offers suggestions for approaching it.

The members of the United Nations found great value in the analysis you provided on the effects of
global warming that result from population growth. They are now asking you write an additional
analysis to include further issues related to population growth. Here is the issue they have asked you to consider:
The member states of the United Nations seek to build food systems that can provide global food
security which will feed everyone, everywhere, every day by improving food quality though the
promotion of effective and nutritional agricultural practices. The crucial issue is not the lack of food in the world but the access to that food. In many developing countries, food shortages are due to
governmental control over food distribution. These governments maintain control of the population
and their power by limiting access to nutritious food to certain groups. In this practice, they thereby
“weaponize” food.
Your second project as a consultant for the United Nations is to develop an analysis that addresses
three issues related to global food insecurity caused by global population growth and poverty, and to explore these issues in a developing country of your choosing.
The U.N. has given you the following guidelines:
Content The U.N. has asked that your paper contain three sections. Each section should be one page (or approximately 300 words) in length and answer specific questions, identified in the outline below. It also asks that you use examples from your developing country when answering the questions.
Introduction
Provide an introduction of half a page minimum that addresses points 15 below:
1. Explain the problem the U.N. has asked you to address in your own words.
2. Identify the three sections your paper will cover.
3. Identify the developing country you will consider.
4. Tell the U.N. the causes of food insecurity.
5. Provide a one-sentence statement of your solutions at the end of your introduction paragraph.
Section I. Background
1. What is food insecurity?
2. What role does population growth play in food security?
Section II. Technologies That Can Reduce Hunger and Improve Food Security
1. What forms of technology can be used to reduce hunger and improve food security?
2. How would these technological solutions work?
3. What causes of food insecurity do these technologies address?
Section III. Specific Factors in Chosen Developing Country
1. Considering the causes of food insecurity, what factors interrupt the flow of food from the source to the people in the developing country you selected?
Provide a conclusion of half a page minimum that includes a summary of your findings that the United Nations can use to inform future policy decisions.
Success Tips
In answering each question, use examples from your developing country to illustrate your points.
The U.N. needs facts and objective analysis on which to base future policy decisions. Avoid personal opinion and make sure your answers are based on information you find through research.
Formatting Requirements
Make sure your paper consists of 46 pages of content (or 1,200 words minimum, not including the cover or reference pages).
Create headings for each section of your paper as follows:
Section I. Background.
Section II. Technologies That Can Reduce Hunger and Improve Food Security.
Section III. Specific Factors in Chosen Developing Country.
Use and cite at least five credible sources in your research. A list of potential resources is available below.
Potential Resources
