So my topic is the US v. Microsoft case. I need help picking out 3 main points to talk about and possibly a supporting detail.

Here's my approach:

My approach for this research paper is to dive deeper into the history of Antitrust laws and how they've changed the world as we know it. My sources all revolve around the same message I'm trying to convey. In order to understand the United States v. Microsoft case and verdict, I needed to weigh in on a judge named Robert Bork, who single-handedly transformed the way the courts interpreted antitrust laws, opening the doors for tech giants to control as much as they do. Bork's book on the antitrust paradox would criticize the government's involvement in the free market, implying that the government consistently being in favor of the little guy wasn't defending competition but rather making it illegal to have any kind of competition at all. This kind of aggressive enforcement completely turned the idea around, focusing on the consumer rather than protecting the firms themselves. I also referenced a source that focuses on the positive aspects of the paradox making sure to get both sides on the matter to really understand how Bork's influence has had a negative but also positive impact on consumers and businesses.

Microeconomics 201 Research Paper The research project is a multistep writing assignment that culminates in a before and after analysis of a publicly-traded (NYSE or NASDAQ) US firm that has been broken up by the US government or been subject to disciplinary action for violation of US antitrust laws. Paper Requirements The paper will: provide a brief history of the film and of how antitrust issues led to the break upidisciplinary action; discuss the market structure both before and after the break upldisciplinary action (i.e., using the characteristics enumerated in the textbook for market stmctures); explain how the nature of goods and services the firm provides to the marketplace have changed; discuss if the fin'n's relationship with the US government has changed. The research paper will use at least 3 academic but not necessarily peer-reviewed sources and at least 1 peer-reviewed academic source. (The textbook can be used, but does not count toward the minimum 4 sources.) Including graphs and a references page, the research paper will be the equivalent of 7 APA formatted pages and will be presented and documented in APA style. The research paper will be automatically evaluated for originality using plagiarism detection software. The research paper is worth 200 points. Milestones 0 Week 4: Research Topic Proposal: Create a new thread on the Research Topic DB to submit your topic for your research paper. This should be one substantial paragraph in which you submit the name of the film you will discuss, as well as an explanation of the issue and the type of analysis you will use (breakup or disciplinary), providing specic details of your proposed topic. Worth 10%. 0 Week 6: Research Paper Sources: On our Research Paper Source DB, post a list of sources in APA format that you will use in your research paper, with a very brief summary (no more than one paragraph) of each source. Use One Search to locate appropriate peerreviewed and academic sources. A video from our SPS librarian Joseph Haltnett, telling you how to use OneSearch through Baruch Newman Library is in the Resources area of our course site. Worth 10%. 0 Week 8: Research Paper Outline: Submit an outline of your paper. It should state your working thesis and outline the main point and sub-points of each body paragraph. Sample: I.
