Write a 1-2 page essay that describes an issue or controversy that was prevalent in the media the year you were born.  Describe the issue, its context, and include points that represented opposing views of the issue--but offer NO opinions of your own.  This is a straight-forward descriptive essay of an event/issue that occurred.  Provide details, such as dates and important people, but narrow your focus since you are limited on the length of this paper.  You must include a minimum of one reference that comes from at least ONE credible source of information--Wikipedia does not count as such!
