Using the articles you identified in your Week 1 Annotated Bibliography, write a 5-6 page paper that synthesizes the key themes, findings, and insights from your selected articles. Your paper should provide a comprehensive overview of your topic by examining and contrasting different authors' perspectives and identifying the most critical themes identified in the literature. In this synthesis paper, aim to create a cohesive narrative that illustrates the state of knowledge on the issue or opportunity within your field.

• Your paper should include the following elements:
  • A clear description of the central issue or opportunity you have chosen to explore.
  • Specific examples of how the issue or opportunity presents itself specifically within your industry. Consider the unique characteristics of your field that may influence how this topic is viewed or addressed.
  • A brief overview of the individuals, groups, or organizations most affected by this issue or opportunity. Explain how and why these stakeholders are impacted, with supporting evidence from the literature.
  • Compare and contrast the perspectives of different authors, noting areas of agreement, divergence, and emerging themes. Focus on synthesizing the varying viewpoints to highlight patterns and gaps in the research. Ensure each theme is backed by specific in-text citations from your sources.
• Your paper must include a minimum of ten in-text citations and a reference list.
• Use APA 7th edition for all formatting, in-text citations, and references.
• Ensure your writing is clear, concise, and free of grammatical errors.
• Submit your paper to the Writing Center and attach the feedback received when you upload your paper to GAP.
