As the largest as well as the most influential housing plan, Levittown became a postwar poster child for everything in the United States. The similarities between the two places included the good relationships between neighbors and the less violent activities (Tomkowiak, 2020). Besides, the two parts are fighting against racial segregation and thus encouraging desegregation. Women are important when it comes to decision making although in most cases they are underrepresented in such positions. It is important to note that gender equality is very essential not only because equality is important to both men and women but because a woman’s economic contribution is part of the growth in society.

M4 Unit 12 Rough Draft of Research Paper Instructions
Overview
The purpose of this assignment is to help you organize your argument and the evidence you have to support it, and to receive feedback that you can use to create a polished final draft at the end of the course.
Instructions
A draft is just that, a rough sketch of what you want to say in your final paper. It is an opportunity to receive feedback from your instructor on your work, but it is also an opportunity for you to get your thoughts down on paper, move away from them, come back with fresh eyes and revise. A draft need not be polished or perfect – it should be rough and that’s okay. The biggest mistake you can make with a draft is getting stuck with writer’s block because you think the draft isn’t good enough. Drafts aren’t supposed to be perfect – they are supposed to help you think about your work, and let others give you some ideas on how to improve.
- Review the Instructions for the final project so you know what the end goal of the research paper will require. You should also read the Social Justice Handout.
- Your final historical research paper should include an introduction with a clear thesis statement, at least five paragraphs (probably more) that address topics that support your claims, and a strong conclusion that summarizes your argument. Attach your final bibliography (not annotated) at the end and include a cover page (in all formats) with your name, date, and the title of the paper. The title should be more than the topic, and should give the reader a sense of what the paper is about. Some examples:
- Paul Revere: Statesman and Craftsman
- The Salem Witch Trials: Fear and Superstition on the Frontier
- The Frontier: A Meeting of Cultures and Ambitions
- Make sure each paragraph contains at least one quote or other supporting evidence from your research, and that you use all your sources – primary and secondary (including the scholarly journal article). Primary sources do provide the best evidence, and a variety of sources provide event better evidence than a reliance on one or two sources. Always extrapolate quotations. Follow quotes with your own analysis or comments and explain how that evidence supports your argument.
- Quotations should be no more than two – three lines long. People tend to skip over longer quotes. All quotes must be cited in Chicago/Turabian style. Remember quotations also require a page number if available in all the formats. Even though quotations are important as support, the majority of your paper (roughly 85 percent) should by your own words of analysis.
- You may use illustrations or photographs as sources, but these should not be included in the body of the paper. If you decide that you must include these images, they should be attached as appendices and those pages do not count toward your page length or word count.
- Your completed essay must be 6-8 pages in length, double-spaced, written using 12-point font, 1" margins, and Chicago/Turabian style citations.
One final reminder – Drafts need not be perfect, as you will edit and revise it. It is better to turn something in for feedback, than to turn nothing in and have no information on how to improve the paper late.
Please review the Rough Draft Rubric in the course resources module in the course content area.

What is Social Justice?
What is Social Justice? Social justice is the equal distribution of resources and opportunities, in which
outside factors that categorize people are irrelevant. In its early days, the term social justice specifically
targeted poverty and the need for an equal distribution of resources. Today, the term has acquired a
broader and more detailed definition (including issues of segregation) that accounts for specific modes
of moral treatment.
The blueprint for achieving social justice is often structured by governmental implementation of
laws/rights that provide equal distribution of resources and opportunities, which in effect protects
human dignity. If a government supports inequality with oppressive laws, then it is up to a non-
government coalition to stimulate the change of such laws in a non-violent manner.
Some issues championed by social justice warriors include but are not limited to:
• The Environment/Global Warming/Climate Change
• Women’s Rights/Gender Equality
• LGBTQ rights and protections
• Children’s rights and protections
• Mental and physically challenged rights and protections
• Racial Discrimination
• National Security
• Public Education
• Voter’s Rights
