Select a current event / news story published after January 1, 2019. Write a 1,000 to 3,000 word essay on the
Risk, Risk Management, and/or Insurance aspects of the story. You must cite – at least – 3 articles / stories
AND the book for a total of 4 citations. At least 50% of your essay should be dedicated to the Risk, Risk
Management and/or Insurance aspects of the story. You must correctly state concepts discussed in class
and/or are available in our text book.
You may select from a wide range of topics. However, you should focus on personal or commercial aspects
of the risk and risk management. NOTE: This is NOT a political science class. While there are many risk
management issues at hand with public policy, your paper should not directly address your opinions on these
issues. Think of yourself as a neutral journalist, presenting facts and fair representations of opinions while
not expressing your own opinion directly
