Use headings to identify each theory discussed in your presentation;
Explain the theory in your own words;

Be sure you have the facts of the case correct and that you explain and apply the theories correctly. Selecting appropriate theories is only good when you can show that you understand the theory and apply it accurately
Required Formatting of Paper:
This paper should be double-spaced, 12-point font, and between five and six pages in length excluding the title page and reference page;
The paper should present an introduction, four theories and a summary of the theory and its application to the case study;

Topic: Child Labor
Child labor is endemic in the poorer countries of the world, and for many children it is seen as way of keeping their families out of poverty. Critics point out that if the governments were to invest more in educating children, they could be more productive and create more wealth for their nation when they are older.
