Week 5 Course Project Milestone Annotated Bibliographyrequired Resour

Evaluate the following assignment instructions: Create a complete annotated bibliography for 5 academic scholarly sources (including your source from Week 3). Include the following: an introduction and thesis for your paper (to the best extent as you know it at this time), publication details, and a detailed annotation of each source. The annotation should summarize key points and identify key terms, describe controversies or problems raised, state your position (agree or disagree) with reasons, locate one or two quotations to be used in your final project, and evaluate the importance of each article in shaping your understanding. Length per annotation should be 1-2 paragraphs, formatted in APA style, with 1-inch margins, double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and include a title page.

Paper For Above instruction

The primary objective of this annotated bibliography is to explore key scholarly sources that will underpin the research paper on the debate over marijuana legalization in the USA. This process involves critically engaging with each source to distill their main contributions, identify the issues they raise, and assess their relevance to my argument, which is centered on the evolving perceptions and legal frameworks surrounding marijuana.

This article examines attitudes towards marijuana legalization among young adults, highlighting that support for legalization correlates with increased intentions to use marijuana (p. 148). Key terms include “support,” “legalization,” and “intentions to use” (p. 149). The authors argue that as more states legalize marijuana, attitudes tend to shift positively, which may predict increased use, raising concerns about public health. I partially agree with their conclusion, considering that increased access could lead to higher use, but I believe regulatory measures can mitigate potential harms. A quote I plan to use in my final paper is: “Support for legalization significantly predicts increased intentions to use marijuana among young adults” (p. 150). This source is important because it provides empirical evidence about changing attitudes, helping me understand social perceptions that influence legal debates.
