Have to do an annotated bibliography for a paper that’s due at the end of this term. The paper is an argumentative essay on “The ineffectiveness of increased gun control and why it fails”. Seven supporting sources are required for the bibliography and a 150 word description is required for each source in APA format. I’ve included the official instructions as well. Purpose: The purpose of the annotated bibliography is to summarize the sources that you have gathered to support your research proposal project. These summaries help you to think about the complex arguments presented in your sources.  Description: In this assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography consisting of seven sources. Each entry will consist of a reference list citation, a summary of the source’s information, and a one-sentence assessment. Each annotation should be between 150 to 200 words. If an entry is shorter than 150 words, it is likely you have not fully developed your summary, and this lack of development can severely impact your grade for this assignment.

At what point(s) might prejudice eliminate the applicant from the selection process? What benefit(s) might accrue to such an applicant from being called for the interview? What are specific actions that organizations might do to reduce the likelihood of name-based discrimination in the selection process? How would they know if these steps were working? Your response must be at least 300 words in length.
