Free Speech and the Challenges Presented by Hate Speech in the Public or Non-Profit Sector

  A research paper is based on research and data – not personal opinion. The appropriate
writing style and tone are important in academic papers. Accordingly, avoid,
• Informal and imprecise language. Do not write the way that you speak.
• Contractions (e.g., doesn’t, can’t, isn’t) and etc.
• Colloquialisms. (Used in or characteristic of familiar and informal conversation.
E.g., “kind of” used for “somewhat” or “rather”.)
• Idioms. (An expression of a given language that is peculiar to itself grammatically
or cannot be understood from the individual meanings of its elements. E.g.,
“keep tabs on”, “back to the drawing board”, or “benefit of the doubt”.)
• Hyperbole. (A figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or
effect, as in “I could sleep for a year” or “this book weighs a ton”.)
You are required to follow APA style, including properly formatted in text citations, a title
page, and reference page, with properly formatted citations.
