Description

Hello, I hope this message finds you well! This is a paper/project for my class.

The topic of my paper is: Medical Stigmas and how it affects the world. (It really connects to anything)

**Lastly, before reading the instructions of the paper, please know that all the articles given to us this semester, I will provide you with. I am not saying you have to read all of them but the topic of my paper has to correlate with the rest of the paper.

**THE PAPER’S DUE DATE IS IN: 43 DAYS.

I cannot put the time limit over 23 days when initially posting the assignment but I will add the 21 days once accepted.
