Email Assignment

For your portfolio project, you have been asked to prepare a portfolio of materials for your boss relating to a controversial topic in your current field of study, the topic of which you chose in the Topic Discussion.

For this assignment, you will prepare an email that will be included in your final portfolio that gives a status update on your research into your project. In your email, briefly explain the overarching debate and the two major arguments of this debate.
