The purpose of this question-based essay is to see how your enquiring mind works. You should have a good grasp on the contents of the specific poverty-related issues in Canada or in other parts of the world. You must explicitly state the question or questions. About 15% to 20% marks will be based on these questions. On the top of the page, you should write “Question”: you should set formal question or questions. The length of your questions could be few sentences. Then, answer your questions systematically in an essay format. To answer your questions, you may refer to the materials and sources that helped formalizing your answer. The length of this questions-based essay is five to seven pages (double-spaced). You should explain why these are important questions and why answers can or cannot be given for the set of questions you have asked. You must provide research-findings from academic sources to support your arguments and provide lessons or answers that can be learned from these research-articles. You may also want to highlight other new findings, alternative poverty-fighting strategies or policies that could have impacted your answers. The questions and answers must be related to poverty issues in the world or in Canada. Make sure that the set of questions are unambiguously connected with each other and that your answers are consistent with your questions. Some questions may not have clear answers; in this case, clearly argue why no answers can be found.
