 The primary focus should be on the major milestones in the development of that programming paradigm, highlighting how and why it evolved, key contributors, and significant languages that embody the paradigm. 

Your research should cover the history and evolution of the language by addressing the following: 

• Early developments: What were the early languages in the chosen paradigm? Why did they emerge? 
• Milestones: What were the major changes or advancements in the paradigm? 
• Notable Contributors: Who were the key figures in the development of these languages? For example, Dennis Ritchie for C. 
• Theoretical Contributions: How did advancements in computer science theory influence the evolution of the paradigm (e.g., lambda calculus in functional programming). 
• Modern Adaptations: How has the paradigm evolved in modern programming languages?

 Your paper should be approximately 8 – 12 pages double-spaced. You should use a minimum of 5 credible sources (journals, textbooks, and reputable online publications). If you find you are having trouble meeting the page requirement, then you most likely don’t have enough sources. The paper should conform to APA v7 guidelines, including a title page, in-text citations, a reference page, and proper headings and subheadings. Here are some resources for APA v7.
