You don't need to fill the two sides of the paper, but that is the maximum space you can use, so be concise. Some people will write longer papers and others can get by with less if they write compactly and have the same quality. Explain each point that you wish to make, illustrating it with facts, statistics, etc. Within the text, you should cite sources for each of the facts or statistics you present and the views of any article, web site, etc. that you employ with an appropriate format. The most critical thing that paper writers forget is to document the material they use from their sources within the paper .
Most people do the second better than the first.
The books you read for the course show formats for citing sources in the text, if you haven't done this before. If you have a format you are accustomed to using, go ahead and use that format. Credit will be deducted from papers not utilizing proper sources of material, for not adequately citing sources, or for an incomplete bibliography. Use all of the resources at your disposal to locate relevant articles and books. DO NOT use popular magazines, such as Newsweek, Working Woman , Cosmopolitan or their ilk.
