Writing the Persuasive Essay What is a persuasive/argument essay? In persuasive writing, a writer takes a position FOR or AGAINST an issue and writes to convince the reader to believe or do something Persuasive writing, also known as the argument essay, utilizes logic and reason to show that one idea is more legitimate than another idea. It attempts to persuade a reader to adopt a certain point of view or to take a particular action. The argument must always use sound reasoning and solid evidence by stating facts, giving logical reasons, using examples, and quoting experts. When planning a persuasive essay, follow these steps 1. Choose your position. Which side of the issue or problem are you going to write about, and what solution will you offer? Know the purpose of your essay. 2. Analyze your audience. Decide if your audience agrees with you, is neutral, or disagrees with your position. 3. Research your topic. A persuasive essay must provide specific and convincing evidence. Often it is necessary to go beyond your own knowledge and experience. You might need to go to the library or interview people who are experts on your topic. 4. Structure your essay. Figure out what evidence you will include and in what order you will present the evidence. Remember to consider your purpose, your audience, and your topic. The following criteria are essential to produce an effective argument • Be well informed about your topic. To add to your knowledge of a topic, read thoroughly about it, using legitimate sources. Take notes. • Test your thesis. Your thesis, i.e., argument, must have two sides. It must be debatable. If you can write down a thesis statement directly opposing your own, you will ensure that your own argument is debatable. • Disprove the opposing argument. Understand the opposite viewpoint of your position and then counter it by providing contrasting evidence or by finding mistakes and inconsistencies in the logic of the opposing argument. • Support your position with evidence. Remember that your evidence must appeal to reason. Parts of the Persuasive Essay 1. The Introduction The introduction has a "hook or grabber" to catch the reader's attention. Some "grabbers" include: 1. Opening with an unusual detail: (Manitoba, because of its cold climate, is not thought of as a great place to be a reptile. Actually, it has the largest seasonal congregation of garter snakes in the world!) 2. Opening with a strong statement: (Cigarettes are the number one cause of lighter sales in Canada!) 3. Opening with a Quotation: (Elbert Hubbard once said , "Truth is stronger than fiction.") 4. Opening with an Anecdote: An anecdote can provide an amusing and attention-getting opening if it is short and to the point. 5. Opening with a Statistic or Fact: Sometimes a statistic or fact will add emphasis or interest to your topic. It may be wise to include the item's .

What is an Essay: An essay is a piece of writing that is written to convince someone of something or to simply inform the reader about a particular topic.

Argument paper/English 1 Spring 2014 Argument Assignment Paper.doc PAGE English 1: Argumentative Essay Assignment The Assignment: Write a six-to-ten page argument paper that addresses a current issue that will address our theme of the impact of technology on communication on ourselves, on our world and on what it means to be human (Barrios, 583). The topic and the issue for this paper is the same as your exploratory paper assignment. The purpose of this paper is to present your position on the issue and then argue why by presenting your own reasons and evidence to support your thesis statement. Locating Sources for Research. The purpose of the exploratory paper was to explore different writers and their position, their perspective, and the types of evidence they used in order to form your own position and perspective. You have three sources that you may use in your paper. For this paper, you must include a variety of sources; they cannot all come from Web sites. Search SMC’s library online catalog, search for a book, search online databases, find newspaper articles, use the search engine Google scholar at www.google.com, or www.yahoo.com . In addition, observations or experience from your personal life are not allowable. Refer to the following handouts: “Research Guide for Papers,” “Sources Acceptable for Academic Papers.” Both of these handouts are on eCompanion. If you include an article from a Website, there must be a date and a sponsor/publisher. If this is not available you cannot use this source. Thesis Statement and Claim: Does your thesis clearly include a claim? Is it arguable? Does it take a perspective on an issue? Is it narrow and specific enough for the length of this assignment? Is it focused on one subject? Is it a claim of policy where you argue that certainpolicies should be changed? Is it a claim of value where you argue that some action, belief, or policy is morally wrong, good, or bad? Once your claim is clear, you must develop reasons that match and correspond to the type of claim being made. Audience/Point of View: An effective argument is tailored to its audience. The reasons and the types of evidence you offer, the needs and values to which you appeal, terms defined, all depend on your audience and the type of claim. Ask: What does your audience know or not know about your topic? The audience is your instructor and classmates. Never assume that the audience is familiar with your topic or terms. You may need to include definitions and relevant details to help the audience understand your position in the first body paragraph. For this argument essay, you will use only the third-person point of view. No, “I” “We” or “You.” Content/Body Paragraphs. For the length of this assignment, you should have at least three-to-four distinct and relevant reasons to support your thesis. Follow the guidelines for writing the argument paper when developing your reasons. Use the “because” clause approach.

PHI208 Assignments Week 5 - Final Paper Final Paper Please read these assignment instructions before writing your paper, and re-read them often during and after the writing process to make sure that you are fulfilling all of the instructions. Please also utilize the assignment guidance and the outlined model provided. PHI208: WEEK FIVE ASSIGNMENT GUIDANCE WEEK FIVE ASSIGNMENT GUIDANCE Notes and Advice This paper is a demonstration of what you have learned about moral reasoning based on our examining of ethical theories and specific ethical issues. As such, you should focus your attention on carefully spelling out the reasoning that supports your conclusion, and relating that to the theories we have discussed in class. You are free to write on the same topic and question you wrote on in previous papers or choose a different topic and question. If you choose a different topic, you would benefit from going through the Week One Assignment exercises. For a list of acceptable topics to start with, see the options from the list of topics available in the online course. If you are still unsure of your topic or of how properly to focus it into a relevant ethical question, you are strongly encouraged to consult with your instructor. You are free to draw upon the work you did in previous papers, and reuse parts that you feel were strong, but you are not to simply recycle the previous papers. This paper should reflect the culmination of the development of your thoughts on this issue, and many of the requirements for the final paper cannot be satisfied by a heavily recycled paper . The consideration of an objection against your own view is a way of showing that your view has the support of good reasons and can answer its strongest objections. Therefore, aim at identifying and addressing the strongest opposing argument you can, bearing in mind that a good thesis should be able to respond to the best arguments for the other side. Thesis Statement The thesis statement is more than just a position statement of the sort you provided in the first assignment; rather, it states the position and the primary reasons in such a way that the reader should have a clear sense of how the reasons support the position, which is what will be spelled out and explained in the body of the paper. Please see the handout on thesis statements available in the online course. Checklist This checklist can help you ensure that you have completed all of the assignment instructions. PHI208: WEEK FIVE ASSIGNMENT GUIDANCE Make sure that you ü Provide an introduction that starts with the question, describes the ethical problem (including the most relevant issues), summarizes your procedure in the paper, and concludes with your thesis statement. ü Explain what you think is the best way to reason about this issue, and show as clearly and persuasively as you can how that reasoning supports your position. ü Make reference to at least two.

Paper 5: Argumentative Research Paper The research proposal should allow you to understand the complexities of a topic that you feel is worth further exploration. Now you’ll use that research to write a thoughtful and persuasive final paper. As the culminating paper of this course, the argumentative research paper is your chance to pull together all of your learning over the course of the semester. Now that you’ve learned how to appreciate rhetorical strategies, summarize and analyze others’ ideas, transfer concepts into new situations, and write evidence-based paragraphs, this paper is your chance to use all of those skills to persuade other people to take a stand on the issue or to change their stand on that issue. You should present a clearly arguable thesis, backed by credible, sufficient and fully analyzed evidence. Key Features of a Researched Argument 1. A clear and arguable position. At the heart of every argument is a claim with which people may reasonably disagree. Some claims are not arguable because they’re completely subjective, matters of taste or opinion, because they are a matter of fact, or because they are based on belief or faith. To be arguable, a position must reflect one of at least two points of view, making reasoned argument necessary. 2. Necessary background information. Sometimes we need to provide some background on a topic we are arguing so that readers can understand what is being argued. 3. Good reasons. By itself, a position does not make an argument; the argument comes when a writer offers reasons to back the position up. 4. Convincing evidence. It’s one thing to give reasons for your position. You then need to offer evidence for your reasons. The evidence you use to support your argument will come from the sources you have selected through research. 5. A trustworthy tone. Arguments can stand or fall on the way readers perceive the writer. Very simply, readers need to trust the person who’s making the argument. One way of winning this trust is by demonstrating that you know what you’re talking about. There are numerous ways to establish tone. In this paper you will establish tone through quality writing and proving to your reader that you have done thorough research. 6. Careful consideration of other positions. No matter how reasonable and careful we are in arguing positions, others may disagree or offer counterarguments or hold other positions. We need to consider those other views and to acknowledge and, if possible, refute them in our written arguments. Guidelines The essay should · be 7-10 pages. · include an accurate MLA heading (student name, instructor name, course, and date) and header (student last name and page number). · include a title that captures the spirit of its content. · use 1” margins and Times New Roman 12-point font, with double-spacing throughout. · include an accurate MLA Works Cited entry. Dates and Deadlines Wed., Jul.

Iranian Women and Gender Relations in Los Angeles NAYEREH TOHIDI In California, the popular face of immigration tends to be either Latin American or Asian, but large numbers of immigrants who come from other regions in the world, especially the Near East, have been quietly reshaping California demography. In this study, Nayereh Tohidi focuses on the Iranians who have come to Los Angeles in the wake of the 1979 Iranian revolution, largely middle- and upper-middle-class Tehrani- ans who have fled the repressive policies of the current post-Shah, fundamentalist regime. But American freedoms have offered particular challenges to Iranian immigrants, especially women, who tend to have "more egalitarian views of marital roles than Iranian men," in Tohidi's words, a "discrepancy" that has led to "new conflicts between the sexes." Thus, Iranian women immigrants are at once freer than their sisters in Iran, more conflicted, and more in need of a "new identity acceptable to their ethnic community and appropriate to the realities of their host country." Tohidi is an associate professor of women's studies at California State University, Northridge. She directs a new program in Islamic Community Studies at CSUN and is also a research associate at the Center for Near Eastern Studies at the University of Califor- nia, Los Angeles. Tohidi's publications include Feminism, Democracy, and Islamism in Iran (1996), Women in Muslim Societies: Diversity within Unity (1998), and Global- ization, Gender, and Religion: The Politics of Women's Rights in Catholic and Muslim Contexts (2001). I mmigration is a major life change, and the process of adapting to a newsociety can be extremely stressful, especially when the new environment is drastically different from the old. There is evidence that the impact of migration on women and their roles differs from the impact of the same process on men (Espin 1987; Salgado de Snyder 1987). The migration literature is not conclusive, however, about whether the overall effect is positive or negative. Despite all the trauma and stress associated with migration, some people perceive it as emancipatory, especially for women coming from environments where adherence to traditional gender roles is of primary importance. As [one researcher] said, "When the traditional organization of society breaks down as a result of contact and collision .. . the effect is, so to speak, to emancipate the individual man. Energies that were formerly controlled by custom and tradition are re- leased" (Furio 1979, 18). My own observations of Iranians in Los Angeles over the past eight years, as well as survey research I carried out in 1990,1 reveal that Iranian 1 This article draws on a survey of a sample of 134 Iranian immigrants in Los Angeles, 83 females and 51 males, and on interviews with a smaller sample of women and men. 149 1 50 The Great Migration: Immigrants in California History women immigrants in Los Angeles are a homogeneou.

I Quiz # II-Emerson Quiz General: For Emerson, truth (or Spirit) is indwelling in the Universe, expressed through nature and man and perceived through Reason (or Intuition) rather than just understanding (reason, logic). All things are potentially microcosms, containing the germs of all Truth, and so are not to be read as logical arguments Here are some quotes from "Self Reliance," Choose one and explain what Emerson means in your own words in 500 words. Due at our next meeting-Oct. 31, 2013 1. "Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense" 2. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents." 3. "Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of everyone of its members." 4. "Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind." 5. "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin oflittle minds, [famous Emersonism] adored by little statements and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do." 6. "The centuries are conspirators against the sanity and authority of the soul." 7. "Life only avails, not the having lived. Power ceases in the instant of repose." [another famous Emersonism] 8. "Just as men's prayers are a disease of the will, so are their creeds a disease of the intellect. " 9. 10.

H. 1 PhD, Karaminia R. 2 PhD, Esmaeili A. A. * MSc * Behavioral Sciences Research Center, Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran; 1 Sport Physiology Research Center, Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran; 2 Department of Clinical Psychology, Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Abstract Aims: Personality of managers affects their managerial style and their conflict management method. This study was performed with the aim of investigating the relation between personality traits, leadership styles and conflict management methods in a military unit. Methods: This cross-sectional correlation study was performed on 200 senior managers of a military unit in Qom who were selected by available sampling method. The leadership style was investigated by leadership styles questionnaire and managers’ personality traits were investigated by NEO questionnaire and their conflict management method was studied by Robbins questionnaire. Data was analyzed by SPSS 16 using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Results: The benevolence-consolatory imperative leadership style was the most frequent style (65.5%) and compatible personality was the most observed characteristic (19.5%). The extrovert personality had positive relation with participatory management style. There was a significant positive relationship between the extrovert personality and management style score. In addition, there was a significant positive relationship between neuroticism and incompatible style. Conclusion: The benevolence-consolatory imperative leadership style is the most frequent style and compatible personality is the most observed characteristic among the studied unit’s senior managers. There is a significant positive relationship between solution-seeking and controller methods of managing conflict and management style score and there is a significant negative relationship between neuroticism and management style score. Keywords: Personal Traits, Management Styles, Conflict Management, NEO Questionnaire Introduction In the current era, understanding the personality of individuals is necessary in many situations of life. Managers' personality is effective in the process and choice of conflict resolution method and management style. Research shows that there is a significant correlation between personality traits and style of conflict management. An indifferent or impassive manager passes the issue and ignores it, while another manager shows serious reactions [1]. Therefore, for achieving organizational go.

Internet security, in general, is a challenge that we have been dealing with for decades. It is a regular topic of discussion and concern, but a relatively new segment of internet security is getting most attention—internet of things (IoT). So why is internet of things security so important? The high growth rate of IoT should get the attention of cybersecurity professionals. The rate at which new technology goes to market is inversely proportional to the amount of security that gets designed into the product. According to IHS Markit, “The number of connected IoT devices worldwide will jump 12 percent on average annually, from nearly 27 billion in 2017 to 125 billion in 2030.” IoT devices are quite a bit different from other internet-connected devices such as laptops and servers. They are designed with a single purpose in mind, usually running minimal software with minimal resources to serve that purpose. Adding the capability to run and update security software is often not taken into consideration. Due to the lack of security integrated into IoT devices, they present significant risks that must be addressed. IoT security is the practice of understanding and mitigating these risks. Let’s consider the challenges of IoT security and how we can address them. Some security practitioners suggest that key IoT security steps include: 1. Make people aware that there is a threat to security; 2. Design a technical solution to reduce security vulnerabilities; 3. Align the legal and regulatory frameworks; and 4. Develop a workforce with the skills to handle IoT security. Final Assignment - Project Plan (Deliverables): 1) Address each of the FOURIoT security steps listed above in terms of IoT devices. 2) Explain in detail, in a step-by-step guide, how to make people more aware of the problems associated with the use of IoT devices.

The assignment is meant for students to enhance their mastery of the material and to provide a creative and realistic way in which to apply knowledge from this course. Scenario You are a consultant being brought in by XUMUC to assist with its merger with another company. Background XUMUC has the WAN links in place to the new locations in the Houston Region. XUMUC currently has 2 other Regions San Francisco and Denver. Originally, XUMUC was only in one region (San Francisco). The previous consultant did a poor job with the integration resulting in a poor IP address scheme as a result routing tables at the summarization points and at the San Francisco Campus are very large. In addition, no VLAN structure was developed to isolate broadcast traffic. There are 4 main departments in XUMC: sales, finance, human resources, and research and development. Also, there has been some concern that the WAN transport was not able to accommodate the network traffic. Finally, all addresses in the network are statically assigned resulting in high administration overhead when changes are made. XUMC would like this changed to lower administrative overhead.

In Innovation as Usual: How to Help Your People Bring Great Ideas to Life (2013), Miller and Wedell-Wedellsborg discuss the importance of establishing systems within organizations that promote not only the creativity that results in innovation, but also make it possible for employees to bring innovative ideas to fruition. Miller and Wedell-Wedellsborg argue that a leader’s primary job “is not to innovate; it is to become an innovation architect, creating a work environment that helps . . . people engage in the key innovation behaviors as part of their daily work” (p. 4). Such a work environment must be reinforced by innovation architecture—the structures within an organization that support an innovation, from the brainstorming phase to final realization. The more well developed the architecture and the simpler the processes involved, the more likely employees are to be innovators. For this assignment, you will research the innovation architecture of at least three companies that are well-known for successfully supporting a culture of innovation. Write a 1,500-word paper that addresses the following: 1. What particular elements of each organization’s culture, processes, and management systems and styles work well to support innovation? 2. Why do you think these organizations have been able to capitalize on innovation and intrapreneurship while others have not? 3. Based on what you have learned, what processes and systems might actually stifle innovation and intrapreneurship? 4. Imagine yourself as an innovation architect. What structures or processes would you put in place to foster a culture of innovation within your own organization? Include in-text citations to at least four reputable secondary sources (such as trade journals, academic journals, and professional or industry websites) in your paper. .

Invitation to the Life Span Read chapters 13 and 14. Objectives: Describe psychosocial changes in adulthood. Describe and analyze personality theories that apply to adulthood. Analyze the physical and cognitive changes that occur during late adulthood. Adulthood and Late Adulthood Introduction The last module began an examination of adulthood. This module will finish the study of adulthood and begin a look at late adulthood. Psychosocial Development in Adulthood Erikson's seventh stage of generativity vs. stagnation occurs during this stage. Being generative means truly caring about the next generation (e.g., being a parent, teacher, coach, or conservationist) (Boeree, 2006b). The idea of a mid-life crisis has been a popular notion since the 1970s (see Berger's description of Levinson's research on page 459), but very little evidence for it exists. Modern personality theorists have backed off the word crisis, which implies a do-or-die decision point, and instead have started using terms like marker events, turning points, or passages (Sheehy, 1976). Abraham Maslow created another prominent theory of personality development (examine his five stages of the hierarchy of needs in Berger, 2010, Figure 13.1, p. 457). The lowest level, physiological needs, must be satisfied first, followed by the others in ascending order. Because people spend so much time satisfying the four lowest needs, very few reach the highest stage of self-actualization, where people live up to their potential; at one point, Maslow estimated the percentage of self-actualizers to be around 2% (Boeree, 2006a). Numerous longitudinal studies have shown evidence of considerable stability and continuity in personality across the adult years (see Berger's discussion of Costa and McCrae's research). Robert Havighurst (cited in Newman & Newman, 2010) states that adults in their 20s and 30s must face four developmental tasks. Tasks 1 and 2, marriage and childbearing, are affected by societal expectations (called the social clock). The probability of divorce hits its peak 2 to 4 years after marriage. Qualities for a successful marriage include similarity in personal characteristics, trust, sensitivity, and adjustment (including a mutually satisfying sexual relationship, economic factors, sleep patterns, food patterns, and toilet habits) (Kimmel, cited in Newman & Newman, 2010). Task 3 involves work, and includes four components: having technical skills, handling authority relationships, coping with unique demands of the job, and establishing and maintaining interpersonal relationships. Task 4 involves establishing a lifestyle that is compatible for both spouses (as well as dealing with constraints placed on the marriage by the children) (Newman & Newman, 2010). For adults in their 40s and 50s, Havighurst (cited in Newman and Newman, 2010) discusses three crucial developmental tasks. Task 1 involves managing a household, including the following sub-tasks: 1) decision-making (about fina.

Investment Analysis & Portfolio Management AD 717 OL Homework Exercise 7 - Derivatives 1) On June 21, 2011, the GE’s stock closed at $18.81 per share. The accompanying table lists the prices for GE’s exchange-traded options. Using this data, calculate the payoff and the profit for each of the following September expiration options, assuming that at the September expiration the value of the stock was $17.72. a) Call option X = $17 b) Put option x = $17 c) Call option x = $19 d) Put option x = $19 e) Call option x = $15 f) Put option x = $21 2. It is mid July. You believe that Walmart stock which is currently priced at $53.00 will appreciate significantly over the next several months. A long-term equity call option (LEAPS) with an expiry in mid January and a strike price of $52.50 is available at a price of $2.50. You have $10,600 to invest. You consider 4 alternatives: a) Use your entire amount of funds to buy the stock outright b) Use the entire amount to purchase the stock on margin. Assume that the minimum margin requirement is 50% and that you will pay 7% (annually) on borrowed funds. c) Use the entire amount of funds to buy LEAPS call options with the January expiry date. d) Buy options for 200 shares and use the rest of the money to buy government bills paying 1% per year. (hence figure on 6 months of interest). For simplicity ignore any brokerage charges Calculate the net gain or loss from each strategy as of mid January assuming that the price of stock is: Gain / Loss from Investment in Walmart Investment Strategy Stock Price in Mid January $45 $50 $55 $60 Stock Outright Stock on Margin All Options Options & Bills 3) One of the financial instruments that attracted so much hostile fire in the analysis of the recent financial crisis were “Synthetic Collateralized Debt Obligations” (synthetic cdos) which used “synthetic debt” as its collateral. Describe how you could use a combination of risk free investments and derivatives to create the same pay-off / risk profile as if you were holding a corporate bond, say for IBM. Explain how the pay-off / risk profile is the same (a) if the company remains afloat and pays all of its debt obligations on time or (b) if the company defaults on its debt obligations. 4) A stock is currently priced at $50. The risk free interest rate is 10% per year. What is the value of a call option on the stock with a strike price of $45 due in one year? a) Using the Binomial valuation approach, assume that at the end of one year the value of the stock could either have increased to $60 or decreased to $40. b) Using the Black-Scholes model, assume that the annual volatility (standard deviation) of the stock price is 25%. 5) On June 29, 2010 the S&P 500 stood at 1308.44. The one year futures price on the index was 1278.7. The 1 year risk free rate was 0.238%. Using the Spot-Futures Parity relationship, calculate the annualized expected.

In BC’s nearly-decade-old “new” curriculum, the curricular competencies describe the processes that students are expected to develop in areas of learning such as mathematics. They reflect the “Do” in the “Know-Do-Understand” model. Under the “Communicating” header falls the curricular competency “Explain and justify mathematical ideas and decisions.” Note that it contains two processes: “Explain mathematical ideas” and “Justify mathematical decisions.” I have broken it down into its separate parts in order to understand--or reveal--its meaning. The first part is commonplace in classrooms. By now, BC math teachers—and students—understand that “Explain mathematical ideas” means more than “Show your work.” Teachers consistently ask “What did you do?” and “How do you know?” This process is about retelling, not just of steps but of thinking. The second part happens less frequently. Think back to the last time that you observed a student make—a necessary precursor to justify—a mathematical decision. “Justify” is about defending. Like “explain,” it involves reasoning; unlike “explain,” it also involves opinion and debate. In order to reinterpret the curricular competency “Explain and justify mathematical ideas and decisions,” I will continue to take apart its constituent part “Justify mathematical decisions” and carefully examine the term “mathematical decisions.” What, exactly, is a “mathematical decision”? Below, I will categorize answers to this question. These categories, and the provided examples, may help to suggest new opportunities for students to justify.
