As you recall, the first part of the Signature Project is where you began exploring a real, ongoing conflict that has yet to be resolved. The second part of the project (value: 70 points, plus 30 points for the associated checklist) includes a revision of the first section, plus the addition of another section describing any unsuccessful strategies one or more of the parties have taken to resolve the conflict, as well as their reasons for failure. If you used sources in Part 1, they may give you guidance as to why negotiations have failed to this point. If the conflict is localized and small, simply describe what efforts, if any, have been attempted to solve the conflict and your understanding as to why they failed.
This section of your Signature Assignment does not have a specific length, as all conflicts are of varying degrees of complexity. If there is substantial information about attempts to solve the conflict, include it, and if not, it is acceptable to say “no efforts have yet been made to resolve this conflict.” As before, every word of your Signature Assignment should be essential to conveying its overall message: do not over-explain ideas, use larger words when smaller ones will do, or add text only to help you bulk up the length of your paper. As before, I will be checking your work for grammatical errors and potential plagiarism: please be proactive and do the same with your own work before submitting it.
