ABOUT PARAGRAPHS:
Paragraphs contain THREE BASIC COMPONENTS
1. TOPIC SENTENCE or CLAIM
2. CONCRETE DETAIL or DATA
3. COMMENTARY or WARRANT
TOPIC SENTENCE [TPS aka the "CLAIM"]
Usually, the first sentence in a BODY PARAGRAPH. It should introduce the topic of the paragraph and relate directly back to the THESIS. (or, in a longer essay, relate it directly back to the TPS of the preceding paragraph.) Imagine someone asking you, "How do you want me to think about your topic now?"
CONCRETE DETAIL [CD aka the "DATA"]:
This is the specific information you offer as the EVIDENCE for your topic; it will be the core of your paragraph. Imagine someone asking you, "Can you show me what you mean?" Other names for CONCRETE DETAIL: illustrations, examples, descriptions, quotations, paraphrasing, plot evidence.
During DRAFTING you may rely upon PHRASES like "FOR EXAMPLE" to introduce CONCRETE DETAIL--this is the kind of thing to eliminate during REVISION
In the literature essay, CD is often a DIRECT QUOTATION.
COMMENTARY [CM aka the "WARRANT"]:
This is your explanation for offering the concrete detail you select--that is, your comment on, discussion about, or evaluation of the evidence (CD) offered. Imagine someone asking you, "What exactly does your concrete detail prove?" You want to suggest how your CD is both relevant and unique. Other names for COMMENTARY include: insight, analysis, interpretation, evaluation, response, explication, reflection.
A hint for getting started on COMMENTARY: begin with the phrase : THIS SHOWS THAT . . . This is the kind of thing to eliminate during REVISION
Once you understand the different components of a paragraph, you can choose to MOVE BEYOND THE TEMPLATE. Some students depart from the FORMAT, some never do.
This whole discussion is based on Toulmin's Model . Here's a little bit more about it.
The model is a six-step system of argument:
(1) a CLAIM is made;
(2) DATA (also called "GROUNDS"), i.e., facts to support it, are offered;
(3) a WARRANT for connecting the data/grounds to the claim is conveyed
In addition, Toulmin adds
(4) BACKING, the theoretical or experimental foundations for the warrant, is shown (at least implicitly);
(5) appropriate MODAL QUALIFIERS (some, many, most, etc.) temper the claim; and
(6) possible REBUTTALS are considered.
But, for now, let us focus on the first three (and add a concluding sentence.
Claim
A claim is a statement that you are asking the other person to accept. This includes information you are asking them to accept as true (exposition) or actions you want them to accept and enact (persuasion).
Many people start with a claim, but then find that it is challenged. If you just ask me to do something, I will not simply agree with what you want. I will ask why I should agree with you. I will ask you to prove you claim. This is where grounds of data become important.
Data
Data is the basis of real persuasion and is made up of information and hard fact.

Specific Purpose
My purpose is to inform undergraduate college students at Brookhaven College about the uses of outlining.

Well, had I gone on much longer you would have decided I suffering from heat stroke or I was talking about Roman numerals. Roman numerals aren’t used much in everyday life—except to designate the Super Bowl currently being played. Some of us are familiar with Roman numerals because we learned to outline using what’s called the Harvard Style of outlining. There are other forms of outlines, thankfully, because the experience of the learning the Harvard Style outline may have proved so tedious that some of us forgot it as quickly as we learned it. In general, an outline is a document that divides a subject into major topic and subtopics and provides an easily recognizable pattern to see the relationships and hierarchy of the topics. Outlining can be a helpful way to organize your complex thoughts into manageable form. Today we will look at three uses of outlining: first—preparing a speech; second—organizing a project; third—studying a textbook.

Week 05 Posting - Reports.docx
COMM 310: Posting for Week 5—Reports
Don’t forget that the User Guide CMAPP Analysis assignment—a Group assignment—is due
this week. That means that I should receive one assignment file from each group.
Reports—An Overview
I’m going to presume that you’ve read Chapter 11 of Engineering Communication. As it points
out, no one ever gets up in the morning and says, “You know… I think I want to write a
report, today!” You write a report for one reason only: someone (almost always a single
individual) has asked for it. And, in CMAPP terms, the person who has asked you for the
report is almost always going to be your primary audience.
You’ll recall that, generally speaking, we can discern two broad categories of reports:
Short reports, also called informal reports
Long reports, also called formal reports
You’ll likewise recall that the terms short and long no longer refer simply to length. In fact, a
long short report may be longer than a short long report. And, as I’ll remind you shortly (excuse
the pun!), the distinction relates more to the reports’ structural conventions.
I cannot imagine your being able to pursue a professional career without writing reports. The
kinds of reports you will need to produce will depend, of course, on the kind of work you
do. It’s likely that very few of you will need to create long/formal reports. Although many
people in an organization often contribute information towards a long report—a company’s
Annual Report to Shareholders, for example—relatively few actually take part in writing it.
Almost certainly, though, you’ll have write a variety of short/informal reports. Consequently,
this course focuses much more on those.
I would also recommend to you the (Word 2003) file (available on April 24, 2014, from
http://misnt.indstate.edu/wilhelm/ASBE%20336/NelsonStudyNotes_sp10.doc), BEIT 336
Business Report Writing Study Notes by Sandra J. Nelson of the School of Business at Indiana
State University. Admittedly, the document is lengthy—over 60 pages. Nonetheless, her
advice and examples are informative and worthwhile.
In this week’s website section, you’ll see two folders that I’ve posted for you. Reports – General
Information and Sample Reports. Let me allude to the latter, first, by citing its folder description:
These sample reports appeared in my 2003 textbook (published by Southwestern), Survivor's
Guide to Technical Writing. As a kind of "source credit", I include a JPEG scan of that book's
front cover.
With the exception of the file Formal Report, they illustrate the classification of short reports
mentioned on page 154 of Engineering Communication. As I indicate there, however, I believe
you will be better served by treating each report as a particular piece of technical
communication, created by applying a CMAPP analysis.
The Formal Report example offers "selected pages" with explanatory marginalia. You will .
How Do I Make a Case Engaging the Writing ProcessNo two p.docxadampcarr67227
How Do I Make a Case? Engaging the Writing Process
No two people compose in exactly the same way, and even the same person may go through the writing process in different ways with
different assignments. Nevertheless, because no one can attend to everything at once, there are phases in handling any significant writing
task. You explore the topic to get a sense of whether it will work for you and what you might be able to do with it; if the topic is working
out for you, then you move into preparing to write, generating more content and planning your draft.
The next phase is drafting your paper, getting a version on screen, however rough it may be, so that you can work toward the final draft.
Getting there involves two further phases: revising your draft, where you make major improvements in it, followed by editing your draft,
taking care of errors, sentences that do not read well, paragraphs lacking focus and flow, and so on.
Exploring Your Topic
For casemaking, exploring your topic means examining the issues involved in it. If your assignment calls for research, do some general
reading about your topic to discover what the issues are. See pages 406–11 for how to find and take notes on source material. If your
assignment does not call for research, rely on your general knowledge about the topic to formulate the issues.
Page 243
Asking Questions: Find the Issues
Asking Questions: Find the Issues An issue is a point of controversy always or frequently raised in connection with a particular topic. For
your topic, begin by asking, “What are the questions that people disagree about when discussing this topic?” For instance, the primary
purpose of prisons is always an issue when prison reform is discussed. Some see prisons as primarily punishment for crime; others see them
as primarily institutions that should rehabilitate criminals. “What should prisons do?” is the question. Other questions include the following:
What should be done about prison overcrowding? How can we reduce assaults on inmates by other, violent inmates? Is prison a breeding
ground for more criminal behavior after inmates are released? If so, what can be done to prevent this from happening?
ACTIVITY 10.1 Collaborative Activity
Isolating the Issues
List the issues connected with your topic. The key question is, “What do people argue about whenever this topic is discussed?”
If your class is working with a common topic or you share your topic with at least one other student, you could collaborate to answer the
following exploratory questions:
■ What issues were you unaware of before you formulated them?
■ What positions do people take on these issues?
■ What is your view of these issues?
Consider your view of the topic now. If you had no opinion before examining the issues, are you beginning to form one now? If you had an
opinion, is it changing significantly? Which issue interests you most? Consider focusing your essay on that issue. ▀
Order the Issues (Stasis)

When you reply to others in the class, your replies should contain original thought and/or a follow up question.
Classical Argument
Persuasion and ArgumentPersuasion is the process of drawing conclusions and getting others to accept them and act upon them.Argumentation is the process of drawing conclusions after looking at both sides of an issue and getting others to accept one side based upon logic and careful exploration of facts.
Rhetoric and AudienceRhetoric is the “art of speaking or writing effectively”It is a set of skills used in college and in the business world Effective communication is an important skill in the work forceEffective communication gets our point across without embarrassment for ourselves or others. Effective communication understands what the audience does and does not know about the topic.
Aristotle’s Appeals: Ethos, Logos, and PathosAristotle was a student of Plato. Later, he was a teacher for Alexander the Great. He identified three appeals that can be used to persuade others. Ethos=ethics. Logos=logic. Pathos=emotion
Ethos=Ethics, CredibilityAs a writer, you will establish your credibility through careful research. Articles from experts in the field of study will help you build your ethos in the paper. An advertisement using ethos would be a McDonald’s commercial stating the number of years in business (hence they know how to make a decent hamburger). A car dealership might also state how long they have been at the same location. Or, the dealership might make sure you know“ 2013 Time Dealer of the year award nominee for being among the nation’s most successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service” (Fuson Automotive).
Logos=LogicWhen using logos in an argument, we provide facts, statistics, evidence, and reason. An automobile commercial stating the vehicle gets x mpg is proving a logos appeal. When gas prices climb, auto makers want to highlight how many miles per gallon the car can travel. Therefore, a car advertised as getting 40 mpg would appeal to a consumer who travels a distance of 40 miles to and from work. If the reader finds the evidence given “logical” it will appeal to the reader.
Pathos=EmotionA pathos appeal will tap into human emotions. Some commercials are deliberately funny and are geared to draw us to the restaurant or product being advertised. From about mid-January until February 14, TV ads focus on how we should tell our “significant” other “I love you.” Commercials such as the “Sandals Resort” plays to adults who want a romantic get-away. We are frequently told ...

How Do I Make a Case? Engaging the Writing Process
No two people compose in exactly the same way, and even the same person may go through the writing process in different ways with
different assignments. Nevertheless, because no one can attend to everything at once, there are phases in handling any significant writing
task. You explore the topic to get a sense of whether it will work for you and what you might be able to do with it; if the topic is working
out for you, then you move into preparing to write, generating more content and planning your draft.
The next phase is drafting your paper, getting a version on screen, however rough it may be, so that you can work toward the final draft.
Getting there involves two further phases: revising your draft, where you make major improvements in it, followed by editing your draft,
taking care of errors, sentences that do not read well, paragraphs lacking focus and flow, and so on.
Exploring Your Topic
For casemaking, exploring your topic means examining the issues involved in it. If your assignment calls for research, do some general
reading about your topic to discover what the issues are. See pages 406–11 for how to find and take notes on source material. If your
assignment does not call for research, rely on your general knowledge about the topic to formulate the issues.
Page 243
Asking Questions: Find the Issues
Asking Questions: Find the Issues An issue is a point of controversy always or frequently raised in connection with a particular topic. For
your topic, begin by asking, “What are the questions that people disagree about when discussing this topic?” For instance, the primary
purpose of prisons is always an issue when prison reform is discussed. Some see prisons as primarily punishment for crime; others see them
as primarily institutions that should rehabilitate criminals. “What should prisons do?” is the question. Other questions include the following:
What should be done about prison overcrowding? How can we reduce assaults on inmates by other, violent inmates? Is prison a breeding
ground for more criminal behavior after inmates are released? If so, what can be done to prevent this from happening?
ACTIVITY 10.1 Collaborative Activity
Isolating the Issues
List the issues connected with your topic. The key question is, “What do people argue about whenever this topic is discussed?”
If your class is working with a common topic or you share your topic with at least one other student, you could collaborate to answer the
following exploratory questions:
■ What issues were you unaware of before you formulated them?
■ What positions do people take on these issues?
■ What is your view of these issues?
Consider your view of the topic now. If you had no opinion before examining the issues, are you beginning to form one now? If you had an
opinion, is it changing significantly? Which issue interests you most? Consider focusing your essay on that issue. ▀

Classical Argument
Persuasion and ArgumentPersuasion is the process of drawing conclusions and getting others to accept them and act upon them.Argumentation is the process of drawing conclusions after looking at both sides of an issue and getting others to accept one side based upon logic and careful exploration of facts.
Rhetoric and AudienceRhetoric is the “art of speaking or writing effectively”It is a set of skills used in college and in the business world Effective communication is an important skill in the work forceEffective communication gets our point across without embarrassment for ourselves or others. Effective communication understands what the audience does and does not know about the topic.
Aristotle’s Appeals: Ethos, Logos, and PathosAristotle was a student of Plato. Later, he was a teacher for Alexander the Great. He identified three appeals that can be used to persuade others. Ethos=ethics. Logos=logic. Pathos=emotion
Ethos=Ethics, CredibilityAs a writer, you will establish your credibility through careful research. Articles from experts in the field of study will help you build your ethos in the paper. An advertisement using ethos would be a McDonald’s commercial stating the number of years in business (hence they know how to make a decent hamburger). A car dealership might also state how long they have been at the same location. Or, the dealership might make sure you know“ 2013 Time Dealer of the year award nominee for being among the nation’s most successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service” (Fuson Automotive).
Logos=LogicWhen using logos in an argument, we provide facts, statistics, evidence, and reason. An automobile commercial stating the vehicle gets x mpg is proving a logos appeal. When gas prices climb, auto makers want to highlight how many miles per gallon the car can travel. Therefore, a car advertised as getting 40 mpg would appeal to a consumer who travels a distance of 40 miles to and from work. If the reader finds the evidence given “logical” it will appeal to the reader.
Pathos=EmotionA pathos appeal will tap into human emotions. Some commercials are deliberately funny and are geared to draw us to the restaurant or product being advertised. From about mid-January until February 14, TV ads focus on how we should tell our “significant” other “I love you.” Commercials such as the “Sandals Resort” plays to adults who want a romantic get-away. We are frequently told ...

ASSIGNMENT FOUR
Each of these assignments asks you to apply the course material by completing a project or providing advice similar to what an actual law student or lawyer might do. You will conduct research, counsel a client, and outline points of law. Often these assignments require you to review additional, short assigned videos or documents, which are available in the Law in Action folder located in the Files section on Canvas.
In each case, unless specified otherwise, your answers should be as short as possible and as long as necessary.
The assignments must be submitted in a Word document on Canvas by the Due Date listed on the syllabus.
50 points—Excellent (professionally presented, no errors in legal analysis)
40 points—Satisfactory (solid legal analysis; small grammatical or proofreading issues)
30 points—OK (ideas are good but not fully formed; assignment is sloppy)
20 points—Assignment was submitted but includes multiple errors of law and/or grammar and proofreading issues
0 points—Assignment contains multiple mistakes and is not professionally presented or assignment was not submitted
There are 8 LIA assignments in all, each worth 50 points, for a total of 400 course points.
You have seven days to complete each of these assignments. Late assignments will not be accepted without a documented medical or religious excuse. Being sick for one or two days of seven is not an excuse.
Assignment Four
Assume that you are a reporter on the “legal beat” for a national newspaper. You have been asked to write an opinion piece discussing whether Michelle Carter’s appeal to the US Supreme Court of her criminal conviction for involuntary manslaughter* of her boyfriend, Conrad Roy is likely to succeed.
Based on the criminal law principles discussed in Chapter 5 and any criminal procedure or constitutional argument you wish to add, outline your strongest and best arguments as to why Carter is likely to succeed or fail on appeal. Consider, in your answer, whether the prosecution failed to prove she committed the crime beyond a reasonable doubt based on the elements of the crime, and whether, if the elements were met, there should have been any affirmative defenses available to Carter.
* Should you take a criminal law class, you will learn that the common law crime of homicide is divided into four categories:
· First Degree Murder (requires knowing intent and premeditation)
· Second Degree Murder (requires knowing intent but not premeditation)
· Voluntary Manslaughter (Second Degree Murder committed after being Provoked)
· Involuntary Manslaughter (Reckless Homicide, meaning that the defendant knew the risk of their actions and proceeded to act)
· Negligent Homicide (The defendant should have been aware of the risk of their actions and proceeded to act)
Here, the accusation is that Carter acted recklessly in causing the death of Roy.

On Writing an Ethical Argument Evaluation Paper (PHIL 302)
Topic is Racism between social Classes
Before you begin writing, it is crucial to pick a subject, topic, or a specific argument that interests you. Your paper will be a critical evaluation of the soundness of an argument. If you already have an argument, then you can go on to the next step. If not, you may choose to discuss one from an author you have read, or you may formulate your own. In some courses, you may consider a case study for your paper. In that case you will formulate an argument that purports to defend a resolution to the case. You should note that it is not crucial that you pick an argument with which you agree. It is about equally difficult (or easy) to write a paper opposing an argument as it is to write one supporting it, so you should probably choose an argument that is interesting first.
Your paper will have seven parts:
I. Introduction
II. Position
III. Argument
IV. Justification

Revise this paragraph. The revised version should contain needed details (add examples, get
rid of vague words), proper grammar, and accurate information.
This paragraph is about ENG 011 and ENG 111. You can expect to learn a number of things in
ENG 011. The purpose of the class is to provide support for you while you are also enrolled
in ENG 111, and to spend time teaching the subskills we will need for the larger, high-stakes
assignments in ENG 111. Grammar are a topic covered in ENG 011 because many times ENG
111 instructors will expect students to use proper grammar without any direct teaching. The
topic of run-ons is covered in ENG 011, other grammar topics are also covered. Next, ENG
011 typically does activities that teach the rhetorical appeals. Summary writing be another
big skill needed for ENG 111, and another popular topic in ENG 011. Summary writing is
used a lot. Lastly, ENG 011 teaches students to improve their overall writing by emphasizing
such things as paragraph structure, good details, use of third person, and replacement of
vague words. At the end of the course, students typically agree they have worked very hard
so they have also learned a lot.

Diagramming and Evaluating ArgumentsEvaluate Unstated or Suppressed Premises As Well As Stated Ones
An unstated or suppressed premise is assumed rather than voiced outright, but is nevertheless needed for an argument to work. Consider this highly unscientific poll conducted by a TV news station. “Which do you believe Senator Hillary Clinton is most out of touch with: illegal immigration, border security, or the American people?” The pollster is operating as if it is unquestionable that Clinton is out of touch with something. In other words, the question presupposes that she is “out of touch.” However, this unstated premise is debatable once it is brought out into the open. Is she in fact out of touch at all?
A listener or reader who is not alert to such unstated or suppressed premises is, without realizing it, agreeing to debate on the communicator’s terms—when those terms may be unfair. In fact, on more complex or serious issues it is often things people take for granted that may actually deserve the most critical scrutiny. For example, in the argument “This medication is labelled as totally natural, so it is safe for me to take it,” the suppressed premise—that “natural” guarantees “safe”—is not trivial and can certainly be challenged.Argument Diagramming
Besides recognizing the use of induction and deduction, you can use diagramming or outlining to develop an understanding of an argument’s overall structure. Remember that an argument as defined here isn’t a “quarrel,” but rather a group of statements, some of which, the pre ...

Patrick Denehy
This document provides more information about the portfolio project and guidelines to complete each
content area to the best of your ability. Use the information here and contained in the syllabus to answer
initial questions you may have. And don’t forget to include citations for every piece of text you reference
or use to help you formulate your own work. You can either include a short works cited/bibliography at the
end of each content area, or one large works cited/bibliography encompassing all content areas. Any style
is fine so long as it is consistent.
Meeting
You need to schedule a 30-minute meeting with me during the term. You should bring two content areas of
your choosing with you for review. These need to be full first drafts, not merely ideas or notes. I will read
as much as time permits to provide you feedback on how to improve these pieces of writing and approach
the remaining content areas. I will also give you a sense of where you stand with your APC grade.
Fallacies
For the fallacies content area, you should find examples of fallacies committed in texts or videos.* If all
else fails, create a dialogue between different persons that represents fallacious arguments you have heard
in the past or in which you were personally involved. After providing the fallacy, you should identify the
fallacy and then explain how this text, video, or dialogue commits this fallacy.
Students usually complete this section in one of three ways. One option is to provide a number of
examples with brief explanations (roughly 5-8 fallacies). The second option discusses fewer fallacies in
more depth (roughly 2-3 fallacies). Finally, other students take up some issue of the day and locate a
number of fallacies in arguments surrounding that issue. This third option usually involves discussing
fewer fallacies in depth as well, thereby overlapping with the second option.
Morals and Markets
While some people attempt to respond to the overall claims of Sandel’s book – and this is all well and good
– I encourage everyone to focus on at least two concrete cases or scenarios he raises. This will allow you
to provide a more in-depth response or investigate a case even further. Some people also use this as an
opportunity to perform light research in order to substantiate or criticize various points in the book. Feel
free to bring in other cases that display a dilemma of norms in a market-driven culture.
* You should not simply repeat fallacies from our textbook, another logic textbook, or some website
dedicated to explaining fallacies. There would be no point to such an exercise. The purpose is to display
that you can apply the concept of a fallacy to real-world cases, not ones already identified by others.
Finally, if you are wondering why I have included thi ...
By now, you should have a firm grasp of the existing conversation on.docxPazSilviapm
By now, you should have a firm grasp of the existing conversation on your topic after having surveyed the field on your topic so as to narrow the who, what, where, when, and why/how, so that you can fully formulate your own ideas and develop an original complex claim with which to place yourself in the scholarly conversation on your topic.
Evaluating your working claim
As you draft your working claim, evaluate its efficacy. A strong claim will be:
• Contestable: Intentionally writing a claim that someone can disagree with
may seem counterintuitive, but consider that if no one could possibly disagree with what you’re arguing, there’s little point in writing about it. Being able to acknowledge and refute counterarguments will strengthen your claim, not weaken it.
o POOR: “Durham and Chapel Hill have much in common, although they are different in some ways.” Well, yeah, but who cares?
o BETTER: “Although Durham’s industrial past has created a more deeply troubled economic caste system than found in Chapel Hill, it has also created greater cultural diversity that is now helping to guide the city’s economic renewal.” There is certainly room for disagreement in this claim; as a result, it provides a much more interesting basis for discussion. The author is likely to support it more passionately than the first claim.
• Reasonable: While you want your claim to be contestable, you also want it to be reasonable. A claim can be radical, in the context of current dialogue on your topic, and still be reasonable if you have sufficient evidence to support it. Readers will recognize the difference between thoughtful, critical interpretations of evidence and contortions that twist evidence around to support an unreasonable claim.
• Specific: Broad claims are more difficult to support effectively than focused claims. Specific claims also tend to provide readers with more useful information than broad claims.
o POOR: “North Carolina apple farmers are responding to the current economic situation by finding new ways to generate income.”
o BETTER: “With hurricanes causing significant crop losses over the past decade, North Carolina apple farmers are increasingly relying on agrotourism to generate reliable supplemental income.”
• Significant: Consider the context of the course for which you are writing
your paper. Is your claim adding anything meaningful to the current dialogue surrounding your topic? Note that as you become more familiar with the concerns of a given topic or discipline, you will be able to contribute more significantly to the discussion.
• Interpretive: Does your claim offer an interpretation of evidence or does it simply describe a situation? If it describes a situation it is a claim of fact.
o POOR: “The United States is a federal system that divides governmental powers between national and state authorities.” Rather than offering an interpretation, this sentence describes an incontestable fact. While it may have truth value, it makes a poor th.
Toulmin Model of Argument The twentieth-century British .docxturveycharlyn
Toulmin Model of Argument:
The twentieth-century British philosopher Stephen Toulmin noticed that good, realistic arguments typically
will consist of six parts. He used these terms to describe the items.
Data: The facts or evidence used to prove the argument
Claim: The statement being argued (a thesis)
Warrants: The general, hypothetical (and often implicit) logical statements that serve as bridges between the
claim and the data.
Qualifiers: Statements that limit the strength of the argument or statements that propose the conditions under
which the argument is true.
Rebuttals: Counter-arguments or statements indicating circumstances when the general argument does not
hold true.
Backing: Statements that serve to support the warrants (i.e., arguments that don't necessarily prove the main
point being argued, but which do prove the warrants are true.)
Toulmin's diagram of arguments typically looks something like this example:
An argument written in this manner unfolds to reveal both the strengths and limits of the argument. This is as
it should be. No argument should pretend to be stronger than it is or apply further than it is meant to. The
point here isn't to "win" or "beat" all the counter-arguments; the point is to come as close to the truth or as
close to a realistic and feasible solution as we possibly can. Note that opening structure of "Data" leads to
"Claim with qualifiers" is similar to the structure of a thesis in the form of an enthymeme, in which [one
clause presenting a reason or evidence] leads to [another clause presenting an argument.]
Toulmin's model reminds us that arguments are generally expressed with qualifiers and rebuttals rather than
asserted as absolutes. This lets the reader know how to take the reasoning, how far it is meant to be applied,
and how general it is meant to be. Here is an example from John Gage's The Shape of Reason in which the
various parts of an argument are labeled:
Congress should ban animal research (Claim #1) because animals are tortured in experiments that
have no necessary benefit for humans such as the testing of cosmetics (Data). The well being of
animals is more important than the profits of the cosmetics industry (Warrant). Only congress has the
authority to make such a law (Warrant) because the corporations can simply move from state to state
to avoid legal penalties (Backing). Of course, this ban should not apply to medical research (Qualifier). A
law to ban all research would go too far (Rebuttal).
So, the law would probably (qualifier) have to be carefully written to define the kinds of research
intended (claim #2).
The Toulmin model is useful for analyzing an argument you are reading. That was Toulmin's original
purpose--the analysis of how arguments work. On the other hand, some students find it useful to use the
Toulmin model as a basis for structure and organization. We might organize our essay in the following
manner:

On Writing an Ethical Argument Evaluation Paper (PHIL 302)
Topic is Racism between social Classes
Before you begin writing, it is crucial to pick a subject, topic, or a specific argument that interests you. Your paper will be a critical evaluation of the soundness of an argument. If you already have an argument, then you can go on to the next step. If not, you may choose to discuss one from an author you have read, or you may formulate your own. In some courses, you may consider a case study for your paper. In that case you will formulate an argument that purports to defend a resolution to the case. You should note that it is not crucial that you pick an argument with which you agree. It is about equally difficult (or easy) to write a paper opposing an argument as it is to write one supporting it, so you should probably choose an argument that is interesting first.
Your paper will have seven parts:
I. Introduction
II. Position
III. Argument
IV. Justification
A. V ...

FIX-IT (REVISE THIS DRAFT)
Revise this paragraph. The revised version should contain needed details (add examples, get
rid of vague words), proper grammar, and accurate information.
This paragraph is about ENG 011 and ENG 111. You can expect to learn a number of things in
ENG 011. The purpose of the class is to provide support for you while you are also enrolled
in ENG 111, and to spend time teaching the subskills we will need for the larger, high-stakes
assignments in ENG 111. Grammar are a topic covered in ENG 011 because many times ENG
111 instructors will expect students to use proper grammar without any direct teaching. The
topic of run-ons is covered in ENG 011, other grammar topics are also covered. Next, ENG
011 typically does activities that teach the rhetorical appeals. Summary writing be another
big skill needed for ENG 111, and another popular topic in ENG 011. Summary writing is
used a lot. Lastly, ENG 011 teaches students to improve their overall writing by emphasizing
such things as paragraph structure, good details, use of third person, and replacement of
vague words. At the end of the course, students typically agree they have worked very hard
so they have also learned a lot.

Diagramming and Evaluating ArgumentsEvaluate Unstated or Suppressed Premises As Well As Stated Ones
An unstated or suppressed premise is assumed rather than voiced outright, but is nevertheless needed for an argument to work. Consider this highly unscientific poll conducted by a TV news station. “Which do you believe Senator Hillary Clinton is most out of touch with: illegal immigration, border security, or the American people?” The pollster is operating as if it is unquestionable that Clinton is out of touch with something. In other words, the question presupposes that she is “out of touch.” However, this unstated premise is debatable once it is brought out into the open. Is she in fact out of touch at all?
A listener or reader who is not alert to such unstated or suppressed premises is, without realizing it, agreeing to debate on the communicator’s terms—when those terms may be unfair. In fact, on more complex or serious issues it is often things people take for granted that may actually deserve the most critical scrutiny. For example, in the argument “This medication is labelled as totally natural, so it is safe for me to take it,” the suppressed premise—that “natural” guarantees “safe”—is not trivial and can certainly be challenged.Argument Diagramming
Besides recognizing the use of induction and deduction, you can use diagramming or outlining to develop an understanding of an argument’s overall structure. Remember that an argument as defined here isn’t a “quarrel,” but rather a group of statements, some of which, the pre ...

Patrick Denehy
This document provides more information about the portfolio project and guidelines to complete each
content area to the best of your ability. Use the information here and contained in the syllabus to answer
initial questions you may have. And don’t forget to include citations for every piece of text you reference
or use to help you formulate your own work. You can either include a short works cited/bibliography at the
end of each content area, or one large works cited/bibliography encompassing all content areas. Any style
is fine so long as it is consistent.
Meeting
You need to schedule a 30-minute meeting with me during the term. You should bring two content areas of
your choosing with you for review. These need to be full first drafts, not merely ideas or notes. I will read
as much as time permits to provide you feedback on how to improve these pieces of writing and approach
the remaining content areas. I will also give you a sense of where you stand with your APC grade.
Fallacies
For the fallacies content area, you should find examples of fallacies committed in texts or videos.* If all
else fails, create a dialogue between different persons that represents fallacious arguments you have heard
in the past or in which you were personally involved. After providing the fallacy, you should identify the
fallacy and then explain how this text, video, or dialogue commits this fallacy.
Students usually complete this section in one of three ways. One option is to provide a number of
examples with brief explanations (roughly 5-8 fallacies). The second option discusses fewer fallacies in
more depth (roughly 2-3 fallacies). Finally, other students take up some issue of the day and locate a
number of fallacies in arguments surrounding that issue. This third option usually involves discussing
fewer fallacies in depth as well, thereby overlapping with the second option.
Morals and Markets
While some people attempt to respond to the overall claims of Sandel’s book – and this is all well and good
– I encourage everyone to focus on at least two concrete cases or scenarios he raises. This will allow you
to provide a more in-depth response or investigate a case even further. Some people also use this as an
opportunity to perform light research in order to substantiate or criticize various points in the book. Feel
free to bring in other cases that display a dilemma of norms in a market-driven culture.
* You should not simply repeat fallacies from our textbook, another logic textbook, or some website
dedicated to explaining fallacies. There would be no point to such an exercise. The purpose is to display
that you can apply the concept of a fallacy to real-world cases, not ones already identified by others.
Finally, if you are wondering why I have included thi ...
By now, you should have a firm grasp of the existing conversation on.docxPazSilviapm
By now, you should have a firm grasp of the existing conversation on your topic after having surveyed the field on your topic so as to narrow the who, what, where, when, and why/how, so that you can fully formulate your own ideas and develop an original complex claim with which to place yourself in the scholarly conversation on your topic.
Evaluating your working claim
As you draft your working claim, evaluate its efficacy. A strong claim will be:
• Contestable: Intentionally writing a claim that someone can disagree with
may seem counterintuitive, but consider that if no one could possibly disagree with what you’re arguing, there’s little point in writing about it. Being able to acknowledge and refute counterarguments will strengthen your claim, not weaken it.
o POOR: “Durham and Chapel Hill have much in common, although they are different in some ways.” Well, yeah, but who cares?
o BETTER: “Although Durham’s industrial past has created a more deeply troubled economic caste system than found in Chapel Hill, it has also created greater cultural diversity that is now helping to guide the city’s economic renewal.” There is certainly room for disagreement in this claim; as a result, it provides a much more interesting basis for discussion. The author is likely to support it more passionately than the first claim.
• Reasonable: While you want your claim to be contestable, you also want it to be reasonable. A claim can be radical, in the context of current dialogue on your topic, and still be reasonable if you have sufficient evidence to support it. Readers will recognize the difference between thoughtful, critical interpretations of evidence and contortions that twist evidence around to support an unreasonable claim.
• Specific: Broad claims are more difficult to support effectively than focused claims. Specific claims also tend to provide readers with more useful information than broad claims.
o POOR: “North Carolina apple farmers are responding to the current economic situation by finding new ways to generate income.”
o BETTER: “With hurricanes causing significant crop losses over the past decade, North Carolina apple farmers are increasingly relying on agrotourism to generate reliable supplemental income.”
• Significant: Consider the context of the course for which you are writing
your paper. Is your claim adding anything meaningful to the current dialogue surrounding your topic? Note that as you become more familiar with the concerns of a given topic or discipline, you will be able to contribute more significantly to the discussion.
• Interpretive: Does your claim offer an interpretation of evidence or does it simply describe a situation? If it describes a situation it is a claim of fact.
o POOR: “The United States is a federal system that divides governmental powers between national and state authorities.” Rather than offering an interpretation, this sentence describes an incontestable fact. While it may have truth value, it makes a poor th.
Toulmin Model of Argument The twentieth-century British .docxturveycharlyn
Toulmin Model of Argument:
The twentieth-century British philosopher Stephen Toulmin noticed that good, realistic arguments typically
will consist of six parts. He used these terms to describe the items.
Data: The facts or evidence used to prove the argument
Claim: The statement being argued (a thesis)
Warrants: The general, hypothetical (and often implicit) logical statements that serve as bridges between the
claim and the data.
Qualifiers: Statements that limit the strength of the argument or statements that propose the conditions under
which the argument is true.
Rebuttals: Counter-arguments or statements indicating circumstances when the general argument does not
hold true.
Backing: Statements that serve to support the warrants (i.e., arguments that don't necessarily prove the main
point being argued, but which do prove the warrants are true.)
Toulmin's diagram of arguments typically looks something like this example:
An argument written in this manner unfolds to reveal both the strengths and limits of the argument. This is as
it should be. No argument should pretend to be stronger than it is or apply further than it is meant to. The
point here isn't to "win" or "beat" all the counter-arguments; the point is to come as close to the truth or as
close to a realistic and feasible solution as we possibly can. Note that opening structure of "Data" leads to
"Claim with qualifiers" is similar to the structure of a thesis in the form of an enthymeme, in which [one
clause presenting a reason or evidence] leads to [another clause presenting an argument.]
Toulmin's model reminds us that arguments are generally expressed with qualifiers and rebuttals rather than
asserted as absolutes. This lets the reader know how to take the reasoning, how far it is meant to be applied,
and how general it is meant to be. Here is an example from John Gage's The Shape of Reason in which the
various parts of an argument are labeled:
Congress should ban animal research (Claim #1) because animals are tortured in experiments that
have no necessary benefit for humans such as the testing of cosmetics (Data). The well being of
animals is more important than the profits of the cosmetics industry (Warrant). Only congress has the
authority to make such a law (Warrant) because the corporations can simply move from state to state
to avoid legal penalties (Backing). Of course, this ban should not apply to medical research (Qualifier). A
law to ban all research would go too far (Rebuttal).
So, the law would probably (qualifier) have to be carefully written to define the kinds of research
intended (claim #2).
The Toulmin model is useful for analyzing an argument you are reading. That was Toulmin's original
purpose--the analysis of how arguments work. On the other hand, some students find it useful to use the
Toulmin model as a basis for structure and organization. We might organize our essay in the following

Competency
Analyze ethical and legal dilemmas that healthcare workers may encounter in the medical field.
Instructions
You have recently been promoted to Health Services Manager at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, a small hospital located in a mid-size city in the Midwest. Three Mountains is a general medical and surgical facility with 400 beds. Last year there were approximately 62,000 emergency visits and 15,000 admissions. More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed.
An important aspect of the provider/patient relationship pertains to open communication and trust. Patients want to know that their doctors and the support staff associated with their care understand their wishes and will abide by them. Ideally, these conversations happen well before an emergency or procedure takes place; however, often times this information is missing from a patient's file. As part of Three Mountains' initiative to build trust with their patients, an increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining living wills from the patient as part of the intake process to ensure that the healthcare team has written directives of the patient's wishes in case of incapacitation. You will be creating a living will for a patient and provide educational information as to why the patient should fill it out during the admission process before a procedure.
Introduction:
Explain the definition of a living will and its key components. This section will provide an educational overview of the document for the patient.
Living Will Template:

Recent Developments in Lifelong Learning
Karl Steffens
Introduction
We think of our societies as ‘knowledge societies’ in which lifelong learning is
becoming increasingly important. Lifelong learning refers to the idea that people
not only learn in schools and universities, but also in non-formal and informal
ways during their lifespan.The concepts of lifelong learning and lifelong education
began to enter the discourse on educational policies in the late 1960s (Tuijnman
& Boström, 2002). However, these are related, but distinct concepts. As Lee (2014,
p. 472) notes ‘the terminological change (from lifelong education, continuing
education and adult education, to lifelong learning) reflects a conceptual departure
from the idea of organised educational provision to that of a more individualised
pursuit of learning’.
One of the first important documents on lifelong learning was the report of the
International Commission on the Development of Education to UNESCO in
1972, titled ‘Learning to be. The world of education today and tomorrow’. In his
introductory letter to the Director-General of UNESCO, the chairman of the
Commission, Edgar Faure, stated that the work of the Commission was based on
four assumptions (see Elfert pp. and Carneiro pp. in this issue). The first was
related to the idea that there was an international community which was united by
common aspirations and the second was the belief in democracy and in education
as its keystones. The third was ‘that the aim of development is the complete
fulfilment of man, in all the richness of his personality, the complexity of his forms
of expression and his various commitments — as individual, member of a family
and of a community, citizen and producer, inventor of techniques and creative
dreamer’. The last assumption was that ‘only an over-all, lifelong education can
produce the kind of complete man, the need for whom is increasing with the
continually more stringent constraints tearing the individual asunder’ (Faure,
1972, p. vi).
Following the Faure Report, the UNESCO Institute for Education, which
was founded in Germany in 1951, started to focus on lifelong learning and
subsequently became the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL, http://
uil.unesco.org/home/). It was under its leadership that a formal model of lifelong
education was developed and published in the book ‘Towards a System of Life-
long Education’ (Cropley, 1980). The concept of lifelong learning also became
manifest in the ‘Education for All’ (EFA) agenda that was launched at the World
Conference on Education for All which took place in Jomtien (Thailand) in
1990 (Inter-Agency Commission, 1990). Ten years later, at the World Education
Forum in Dakar (Senegal) in 2000, the Dakar Framework for Action was
designed ‘to enable all individuals to realize their right to learn and to fulfil their
responsibility to contribute to the development of their society’ (UNESCO,
2000, p..

Compensation, Benefits, Reward & Recognition Plan for V.P. Operations
Introduction
Base Salary Range
For the position of VP of Operations, the National Average Salary is $122,624. In San Francisco, the average is higher and placed at $155,946. This amount is 16% higher than the National Average (Payscale, 2016). The reason for this increase is because of experience and geography. These are the two prime factors that impact the pay scale. Another major factor is the employer. Most employers base their decision to hire an individual on the experience they bring with them. Of course, with more experience, higher pay is required. With our company cutting cost a less experienced individual would be the best fit for the position.
Standard Employee Benefit
In many cases, your employee benefits could be the turning point for a prospective employee. This benefit is a vital portion of any employee packet. These valuable benefits are used as a blanket of security in the case of any sickness, injury, unemployment, old age, or death (Gomez-Mejia, Balkin & Cardy, 2015, p. 362). There is a significant difference between incentives and benefits: benefits are financial and nonfinancial compensations that are indirect to the employee. To have a competitive strategy Blossoms Up! must align their profits with the compensation package that has been already put in place. This action will help provide flexibility to the amount and the benefits available (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are also some benefits that most companies are legally obligated to provide. Three benefits are required regardless of the number of employees that the company has. These interests involve social security, workers compensation, and unemployment insurance (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Other laws must be adhered to when dealing with a certain number of individuals. When a company has 50 or more employee they must have the Family and Medical Leave Act in place and since its induction in 2015 the Affordable Care Act for Health Insurance for companies with 20 or more employees. For the health insurance to be considered standard medical, vision and dental plans must be made available to the business. These programs that must be regarded as being under the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015).
There are some voluntary benefits that we can include. We are already looking into adding a pension package using the Defined Contribution Plan as well as the 401(K) plan (Gomez-Mejia et al., 2015). Life insurance is another excellent benefit that could be added to the package as well as short-term and long-term disability insurance. Adding Vacation and PTO, and Holiday pay is .

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

ABOUT PARAGRAPHSParagraphs contain THREE BASIC COMPONENTS.docx
1. ABOUT PARAGRAPHS:
Paragraphs contain THREE BASIC COMPONENTS
1. TOPIC SENTENCE or CLAIM
2. CONCRETE DETAIL or DATA
3. COMMENTARY or WARRANT
TOPIC SENTENCE [TPS aka the "CLAIM"]
Usually, the first sentence in a BODY PARAGRAPH. It should
introduce the topic of the paragraph and relate directly back to
the THESIS. (or, in a longer essay, relate it directly back to the
TPS of the preceding paragraph.) Imagine someone asking you,
"How do you want me to think about your topic now?"
CONCRETE DETAIL [CD aka the "DATA"]:
This is the specific information you offer as the EVIDENCE for
your topic; it will be the core of your paragraph. Imagine
someone asking you, "Can you show me what you mean?"
Other names for CONCRETE DETAIL: illustrations, examples,
descriptions, quotations, paraphrasing, plot evidence.
During DRAFTING you may rely upon PHRASES like "FOR
EXAMPLE" to introduce CONCRETE DETAIL--this is the kind
of thing to eliminate during REVISION
In the literature essay, CD is often a DIRECT QUOTATION.
COMMENTARY [CM aka the "WARRANT"]:
2. This is your explanation for offering the concrete detail you
select--that is, your comment on, discussion about, or
evaluation of the evidence (CD) offered. Imagine someone
asking you, "What exactly does your concrete detail prove?"
You want to suggest how your CD is both relevant and unique.
Other names for COMMENTARY include: insight, analysis,
interpretation, evaluation, response, explication, reflection.
A hint for getting started on COMMENTARY: begin with the
phrase : THIS SHOWS THAT . . . This is the kind of thing to
eliminate during REVISION
Once you understand the different components of a paragraph,
you can choose to MOVE BEYOND THE TEMPLATE. Some
students depart from the FORMAT, some never do.
This whole discussion is based on Toulmin's Model . Here's a
little bit more about it.
The model is a six-step system of argument:
(1) a CLAIM is made;
(2) DATA (also called "GROUNDS"), i.e., facts to support it,
are offered;
(3) a WARRANT for connecting the data/grounds to the claim is
conveyed
In addition, Toulmin adds
(4) BACKING, the theoretical or experimental foundations for
the warrant, is shown (at least implicitly);
(5) appropriate MODAL QUALIFIERS (some, many, most, etc.)
temper the claim; and
(6) possible REBUTTALS are considered.
3. But, for now, let us focus on the first three (and add a
concluding sentence.
Claim
A claim is a statement that you are asking the other person to
accept. This includes information you are asking them to accept
as true (exposition) or actions you want them to accept and
enact (persuasion).
Many people start with a claim, but then find that it is
challenged. If you just ask me to do something, I will not
simply agree with what you want. I will ask why I should agree
with you. I will ask you to prove you claim. This is where
grounds of data become important.
Data
Data is the basis of real persuasion and is made up of
information and hard facts. It is the truth on which the claim is
based. The actual truth of the data may be less that 100%, as all
data is based on perception and hence has some element of
assumption about it. You want your data to be convincing
enough that it is not challenged. To make it convincing, you
need to explain it clearly to your readers.
Data is usually a very powerful element of persuasion, although
it does affect people differently. Those who are logical or
rational will more likely to be persuaded by data. Those who
argue emotionally and who are highly invested in their own
position will challenge it or otherwise try to ignore it. This is
where the warrant comes into play.
Warrant
A warrant links data to a claim, legitimizing the claim by
showing the data to be relevant. The warrant should be made
explicit It answers the question 'Why does that data mean your
4. claim is true?" The warrant may be simple and it may also be a
longer argument with additional sub-elements, including those
described below.
SAMPLE ESSAY
INTRODUCTION AND THESIS
When Billy Joel sings about being in a "New York State of
Mind," there are plenty of people who have some choice words
for that "state." They aren't always nice words. Many people
have the notion that New Yorkers are rude. New Yorkers are
focused; they have places to go, people to meet, and things to
do. They're plain busy.
TOPIC SENTENCE
It takes time being nice. Time, however, is something most
busy New Yorkers do not have.
EVIDENCE (OR CONCRETE DETAIL)
There is little for Timeniceties when one is focused on the task
of going, meeting, and doing. For example, ask a New Yorker
for information and they give it.
EVALUATION OF EVIDENCE (COMMENTARY)
1Some people think that when they get a direct answer without
any additional pleasantries, the respondent is rude. 2There is
no time for "how are you today," no "looks like rain." The
question is asked; the question is answered.
EVIDENCE (CD)
[In addition,] living in a city of nine million people demands
the swift pace that is characteristic of New York. In the hustle
and bustle of city life, New Yorkers often depend on others to
5. get where the need to go. They ride the subway or busses, take
taxis, or "hoof it."
EVALUATION (CM)
1For people who like to have control, it can be disturbing to
depend on someone else. So, New Yorkers take precautions.
Moving quickly, bumping, and jostling on the street are the
risks of living a fast-paced life. 2People do not always
apologize. They simply nod, shrug their shoulders, or mutter,
"Sorry." Often, the apology between New Yorkers is unspoken.
It is understood: "no biggie."
CONCLUSION
Even when they are relaxing, New Yorkers are intent on the
task. at hand. At a baseball game, their job is to cheer the team
to victory. When eating a hot dog on the street, the task it to
avoid wearing the mustard. At Bloomingdales, the mission is to
find it, purchase it, get out. Window shopping, carriage rides
through Central Park, lazy lunches at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel-
-these are activities for tourists. New Yorkers have no time for
these indulgences. They have something to do--now.

Assignment 1 (Essay)
Weight: 15% of assessment
Group or Individual: Individual Assignment
Length: 1500 words (excluding references, title page and
executive summary)
Due date: Week 6
“No manager can afford to ignore the policies and regulations
of the country from which he or she
conducts international marketing transactions. Wherever a firm
is located, it will be affected by
15. government policies and the legal system.” Czinkota &
Ronkainen (2013, p.133)
Write an essay to explain the statement with emphasis on home
and host country government policies
that facilitate and regulate the international marketing activities
of a business firm with specific example of
such policies from a country of your choice as Home (Country
of Origin) and Host (Export/FDI
Destination) country.
Tips for the Assignment:
Visit relevant government websites of the country of your
choice (your home country is preferred) and
identify policies that facilitate and regulate domestic and
foreign firms’ international marketing activities
within the country. Critically evaluate the facilitating and/or
regulating role of at least three (3) to a
maximum of five (5) such policies. Home country policies may
include promotion of export and other
international business activities (including FDIs in foreign
country markets) of domestic companies, and
any policy that sanction or discourage their international
marketing activities with any foreign company
and foreign market. Host country policies may include
government rules that restrict or regulate
16. international marketing activities (including FDIs) of foreign
companies within its territory. Your essay can
concentrate either on home government policies for domestic
companies’ international marketing
activities or policies for marketing activities of the foreign
companies in the country.

The Addiction
According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, or
CDC, 40 million people
light up a cigarette to calm their daily craving; that’s 40 million
people knowingly deteriorating
their body with each drag. As the leading cause of preventable
disease and death in the United
States, smoking is no phantom to millions. The “cigarette
epidemic” has become so alarming that
fighting the fixation to ultimately save people’s lives has
become necessary. Many
advertisements are created to encourage smokers to quit the
habit, but very few are effective in
doing so. The CDC created an advertisement that features a
former avid smoker, and the battles
she is forced to fight every day because of her notorious
addiction, in attempt to convince
millions to stop buying into the deadly custom. Although it is
extremely difficult to quit
smoking, I claim that Terrie’s commercial convinces people to
give up smoking through its use
of ethos, logos, and pathos.
20. In CDC’s commercial featuring Terrie, ethos is used to convince
the audience by having
a long-time, credible smoker be the spokesperson. In the
commercial, Terrie shows her daily
morning routine, containing things that smoking has forced her
to have to do. Terrie has to put a
wig on, teeth in, and put in a hands-free device that covers a
hole in her throat she got from
smoking to be able to talk. Since she has smoked for multiple
years, she now has to go through
unnecessary and inconvenient steps to make her life feel like
normal after the harm she has done
to her body. Current smokers might see Terrie’s situation and be
fearful that these consequences
Woicker 2
might inflict their lives, which could convince them to stop
smoking. If the spokesperson were
someone who did not actually smoke, the commercial would be
much less convincing and
effective because viewers would not be able to see a first-hand
experience. The credibility that is
built off of having a long-time smoker as the author constructs a
more powerful commercial, as
21. well as shows ethos.
In comparison to CDC’s commercial, the Food and Drug
Administration, or FDA,
released a commercial of a girl buying cigarettes. In the
commercial, the girl is young, beautiful,
in shape, and has a flawless complexion. It is very evident to
the audience that the girl has
probably never smoked anything in her entire life. Although the
point of the commercial is
extremely important to many, it lacks an influential component
because of the speaker. Since she
is seemingly perfect on the outside, it is hard for current
smokers to connect to her situation and
be convinced to stop smoking, thus the purpose of the
commercial ultimately failing. From its
lack of effectiveness, this shows that ethos and the credibility
of the speaker is vital when trying
to persuade an audience because if the viewers cannot relate,
they will not react.
Near the end of the commercial, logos is used in a simple yet
effective factual statement.
After viewing the routine of what could be the current viewers
normality in a couple years if they
22. submit themselves to smoking, they are faced with the harsh
truth. In the commercial, one of the
last things the viewer sees is the statement, “smoking causes
immediate damage to your body.”
Although allegedly mild, the straightforward saying forces the
audience to reflect on the harmful
decision they are making every time they light up. Having the
raucous, factual reality that
damage is immediately inflicted upon the body every time a
cigarette is inhaled become apparent
is an influential dynamic in the commercial, which is an
effective tool in convincing the audience
Woicker 3
to quit the habit. The factual statement is a powerful use of
logos that aids in persuading people
to abandon cigarettes.
In the advertisement, Terrie shares her shocking and despairing
everyday routine that
creates an emotional response within the viewer, showing
pathos. Terrie shares her compelling
daily regimen that includes steps many people could not dream
of doing. Just to feel normal,
23. Terrie must put in teeth, a wig, and a hands-free device to
speak, all of which are now necessary
because her smoking habit caused severe deterioration in her
body. Watching a woman go
through these unthinkable steps makes the viewer feel extremely
somber and sorry for what she
has to go through, eliciting an emotional response. The audience
is faced with an emotional
reaction that sends a jarring reality pulsing through each of
their veins: this could be their future
one-day. Simple things every person takes for granted such as
having teeth, hair and being able
to speak without an aid, is something the audience becomes
abruptly aware of, and suddenly
forms a fear of losing. Pathos is effectively formed from the
infliction of heartbreaking emotions
within the viewers after seeing Terrie’s unnerving daily routine
that could ultimately encourage
and convince them to stop smoking.
Terrie’s advertisement effectively convinces viewers to
consider the health and safety of
their body and stop smoking. Being a long-time smoker, as well
as having a compelling,
traumatic story, Terrie’s experience inspires many to kick the
24. habit that once seemed impossible
to stop. According to the American Cancer Society, across
America, the average success rate of
quitting smoking without aid is only about 4% to 7% (ACS).
Terrie’s story could raise that rate
because of her impactful story. When people see the struggles
of a woman that has participated
in their same vice, they realize that her current lifestyle could
potentially develop into their
future, a shocking realization that only becomes apparent when
they are faced head on with the
Woicker 4
problem. Terrie’s commercial shines a much-needed light on the
epidemic of smoking, thus
spreading the information that the habit is extremely dangerous
and harmful to the body. The
American society has been bombarded with other
advertisements by cigarette and tobacco
companies that attempt to convince consumers to buy their
product, while neglecting the harm
that their products actually do to the human body. Commercials
like Terrie’s are vital to the
25. health of millions. Instead of being influenced by uncaring
companies, viewers can finally
understand and visualize their future from Terrie’s struggle if
they continue with the deadly
custom. Smoking is an addictive epidemic that needs an army to
destroy, but if one person is
able to quit, that’s one person’s health and life that has
improved, one person’s story that can
become a motivation towards others to stop, thus moving
towards a world without cigarettes.
Addiction is a serious issue in America that doesn’t seem to
draw much attention, but will affect
us for generations.
