ENG 123 Assignment 2, Milestone 1 Guidelines and Rubric 5-6 Draft Overview: Persuasion is a constant in each and every one of our lives. No matter where we look, what we read, what we see, or who we interact with, we are inevitably going to encounter some form of persuasion. Advertisements want us to buy things. Newspapers and television want to convince us of what we should feel about events. We are put into positions where we must defend our thoughts and beliefs to others, and the process we apply is typically some form of persuasion. Persuasive writing is one of the most powerful forms of writing—it has the ability to influence one’s thoughts, and also the ability to change one’s mind about a particular issue. The persuasive essay is an ideal opportunity to support an opinion on an issue utilizing researched facts and information. This also gives the chance to recognize that there is an opposing viewpoint to a position and to refute the opposing argument, noting that those who hold the opposing viewpoints are the intended audience of the piece.

Assignment: write a 10-page persuasive research paper on the topic of your choice.

Unlike argument, the persuasive essay requires an audience, which will consist of your classmates and instructor.

The subject must be controversial: this assignment requires you to take a position and defend it, and you must be able to address the opposition, i.e., the refutation.
Organization: The essay must follow the classical arrangement of persuasive discourse. Use this guideline while preparing your outline:
1. Introduction
Remain neutral
Remain general, no specific points
Generate reader interest
Avoid overuse of sources in the introduction
2. Background
Give overview of differing opinions

Writing Strong Argument Papers Helpful Hints
An argument or a persuasive paper has the power to make people change their minds about a topic, or allows them to really understand and accept your position as a valid one. You know how strongly people feel about their beliefs, so you can guess that writing a paper that will command the readers’ respect is challenging. So, in order to make strong arguments and to have the power to persuade people, follow some simple suggestions:
Get oriented:
1. Pick a topic you feel strongly about. It doesn’t matter whether you agree with it, or disagree with it. Think of points on both sides of the issue - the pros and the cons of each topic.
2. List some arguments from both sides and then think about how your audience feels about each of these.
3. Pick whichever side has the most convincing information - you might have to change your mind and change your main idea as you discover facts that you were not aware of as you started thinking about the topic.
4. Pay close attention to your audience. Think of what it believes in, and be prepared to discuss some of the points that would be most interesting to this group.
5. Once you considered both sides, and considered the audience, then you are ready to to take one side. Believe that you are right, and prepare yourself well to defend your thoughts. You will need good research to do this!
6. Make sure that there is reliable information available to support your position.
7. You will need facts, statistics, and reports from sources you and your audience can trust.
8. Make sure that you study the other side as well as you study your side. You don't want any surprise facts that you can't defend to show up after you finish your paper!
9. Be very well informed about the issue you want to discuss. Issues have different dimensions – there is always a social, a technical or scientific, an economic, or another type of intellectual aspect you will need to be aware of.
10. Be clear about which part, or point of the issue you are focusing on.
11. Anticipate objections and be prepared to address them.
12. Think of the points about this issue where there is common ground - where you can agree with the other side
Now You Can Start Writing
1. Assume that you will have many different opinions among your audience. Your readers will judge the strength of your arguments. Write your paper to convince them that your side makes the most sense.
2. Right in your introduction, establish credibility. Your readers need to know that you have studied the topic, that you are being open and fair-minded about it, and that you can understand their points of view. Here is a good place to address some of the points you have in common with the other side.
3. Include your thesis at the end of the introduction.
4. Support your thesis with the 3 strongest arguments you can find. These will be the outline of your paper.
5. Back your arguments up with very strong, specific evidence:

5. Once you considered both sides, and considered the audience, then you are ready to to take one side. Believe that you are right, and prepare yourself well to defend your thoughts. You will need good research to do this!
6. Make sure that there is reliable information available to support your position.
7. You will need facts, statistics, and reports from sources you and your audience can trust.
8. Make sure that you study the other side as well as you study your side. You don't want any surprise facts that you can't defend to show up after you finish your paper!
9. Be very well informed about the issue you want to discuss. Issues have different dimensions – there is always a social, a technical or scientific, an economic, or another type of intellectual aspect you will need to be aware of.
10. Be clear about which part, or point of the issue you are focusing on.
11. Anticipate objections and be prepared to address them.
12. Think of the points about this issue where there is common ground - where you can agree with the other side
Now You Can Start Writing
1. Assume that you will have many different opinions among your audience. Your readers will judge the strength of your arguments. Write your paper to convince them that your side makes the most sense.
2. Right in your introduction, establish credibility. Your readers need to know that you have studied the topic, that you are being open and fair-minded about it, and that you can understand their points of view. Here is a good place to address some of the points you have in common with the other side.
3. Include your thesis at the end of the introduction.
4. Support your thesis with the 3 strongest arguments you can find. These will be the outline of your paper.
5. Back your arguments up with very strong, specific evidence:

ENG 123 Writing Plan Guidelines and Rubric
Put the argument into a concrete shape, into an image, some hard phrase, round and solid as a ball, which they can see and handle and carry home with them,
and the cause is half won.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Overview: Persuasion is a constant in each of our lives. No matter where we look, what we read, what we see, or who we interact with, we are inevitably going to
encounter some form of persuasion. Advertisements want us to buy things. Newspapers and television want to convince us of how we should feel about events.
We are put into positions where we must defend our thoughts and beliefs to others, and the process we apply is typically some form of persuasion.
Persuasive writing is one of the most powerful forms of writing—it has the ability to influence one’s thoughts, and also the ability to change one’s mind about a
particular issue. The persuasive essay is an ideal opportunity to support an opinion on an issue using researched facts and information. It also gives you the
chance to recognize opposing viewpoints and refute it, noting that those who hold the opposing viewpoints are the intended audience of the piece.
Prompt: For this essay, you will identify an issue in your current major, a major you are interested in pursuing, or your field of work. You will then establish an
argument and support that argument with research and relevant evidence.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in one fully developed paragraph each:
I. Writing Plan: Use this writing plan as a way to gather your thoughts and determine your strategy for writing your critical analysis essay. This process will
allow you to develop a potential structure for effectively communicating and supporting your claim. This plan will be helpful in keeping your thought
process on track when you begin writing and revising your essay.
A. Describe the argument to be addressed in your persuasive essay. Explain how the argument relates to your major, the major you are considering
pursuing, or your field of work.
B. Determine three key points that will be helpful in supporting your argument.
C. Identify the audience who will be reading your essay. What potential challenges will you encounter in supporting your argument with this
demographic?
D. Establish a goal that you hope to accomplish with this essay. What will this essay need to be successful?
E. List potential resources that could be used as supporting evidence for your argument, and provide a brief description of each and how they will
reinforce your argument.
F. Align key points of your argument with supporting resources for establishing an effective essay structure.
G. Based on your argument, determine at what points in the essay integrating evidence would be most effective, and explain why.
H. Describe a revision strategy that would be most effective while writing this essay. Why would this strategy be effective? ...

Organizing Your Argument
*
Rationale: Welcome to “Organizing Your Argument.” This presentation is designed to introduce your students to the elements of an organized essay, including the introduction, the thesis, body paragraphs, topic sentences, counterarguments, and the conclusion. The twenty-one slides presented here are designed to aid the facilitator in an interactive presentation about constructing a well-organized argument. This presentation is ideal for the introduction of argument to a composition course, the beginning of a research unit, or the assignment of a written argument.
This presentation may be supplemented with OWL handouts, including “Developing an Outline” and “The Paragraph”.
Directions: Each slide is activated by a single mouse click, unless otherwise noted in bold at the bottom of each notes page.

What is an Argument?An argument involves the process of establishing a claim and then proving it with the use of logical reasoning, examples, and research.
*
Activity: This slide offers a definition of the term “argument.” The facilitator may invite the audience to offer answers to the title question. Students often assume that building an argument is simply a confrontational activity designed to denigrate the opposition’s position. The facilitator may choose to explain to students that the focus of a strong argument should be upon a cohesive explanation of claims effectively paired with correlating evidence.
Why is Organization Important in Argument?Guides an audience through your reasoning processOffers a clear explanation of each argued pointDemonstrates the credibility of the writer
*
Key Concept: Organization is an important component in any argument. Not only does a clear sense of organization guide the reader through the reasoning process, but it also demonstrates the credibility of the writer--that the writer has a clear conception of the issues involved and has the ability to offer a well-crafted response to the topic. An argument that has a confusing organization--that jumps from point to point without establishing connections between topics--is less likely to be convincing to its audience.

Checklist for Global Revision1 Purpose and Audience .docx
Checklist for Global Revision1
Purpose and Audience
• Does the plan accomplish its purpose – to analyze a reading, develop a claim, and
support that claim with evidence from the selected reading?
• Is the plan appropriate for its audience? Does it account for the audience’s
knowledge of the subject, level of interest in the subject, and possible attitudes
toward the subject?
Focus
• Is your claim clear? Do you show how you derived the claim from your selected
reading?
• Do you identify the key points you'll use to support your claim? Have you
explained the rationale for choosing each point?
Organization and Paragraphing
• Are there enough organizational cues for readers, like topic sentences?
• Are ideas presented in a logical order?
• Are any paragraphs too long or too short for easy reading?
Content
• Is the evidence I've chosen relevant and persuasive?
• Which ideas need further development?
• Are the parts proportioned sensibly? Do major ideas receive enough attention?
• Where might material be deleted?
Point of View
• Is the draft free of distracting shifts in point of view (from I to you, for example,
or from it to they)?
• Is the dominant point of view – I, we, you, he, she, it, one, or they – appropriate
for your purpose and audience?
***
“When you revise sentences, you focus on effectiveness; when you edit, you check for
correctness. Proofreading is a slow and careful reading in search of typos and other
obvious mistakes” (Hacker 29).
1 Hacker, Diana. Rules for Writers 6th Ed. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2008.
Paragraph Level Revision
“A paragraph should be unified around a main point. The main point should be clear to
readers, and all sentences in the paragraph should relate to it” (Hacker 40).
• State the main point in a topic sentence – the topic sentence should act as a
signpost pointing in two directions: backward toward the thesis of the essay and
forward toward the body of the paragraph.
• Stick to the point – if a sentence does not support the topic sentence it destroys the
unity of the paragraph
• Develop the main point – a series of brief paragraphs suggests inadequate
development
• Make paragraphs coherent – sentences and paragraphs should flow from one to
another without discernible bumps, gaps, or shifts. Coherence can be improved by
strengthening the ties between old information and new.
o Link ideas clearly
o Repeat key words
o Use parallel structures
o Maintain consistency
o Provide transitions
• If necessary, adjust paragraph length – aim for paragraphs between 100-200
words
Sentence Level Revision
In order to revise sentences without “reading over” the passages you’ve become familiar
with, try starting with the last sentence in your essay and read each sentence from end to
beginning, checking each sentence for clarity, effectiveness, and c ...
Paper 5 Argumentative Research PaperThe research proposal shoul.docx
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

Classical Argument Outline RHETORICAL SITUATION Purpose Co
Classical Argument Outline
RHETORICAL SITUATION:
Purpose: Compose a Classical Argument essay that aims to persuade your audience by using evidence and research to back up your thesis.
Audience: Peers with an opposite or indifferent viewpoint to yours
Subject: Issue that is debatable and arguable
Thesis: Arguable, Specific (problem), Feasible (solution). See pages 110-113 in Let’s Get Writing!
INTRODUCTION: The introduction will provide a very brief overview of the issue, capture the reader’s interest, and state the arguable thesis. Consider the following questions to gather the information needed for this paragraph:
• Consider using a quote, statistic, or an interesting fact to catch reader’s attention and establish context of persuasion (appeal to pathos)
• Briefly describe the problem with the issue that you are going to address (background and context)
• Why is this issue important? (engage the audience)
• If your argument proposes a solution, you may want to hint at it here.
• Usually, the thesis statement comes at the end of the introduction. Remember, the thesis must be arguable (readers can agree or disagree with it), describe a specific problem, and offer a feasible (workable) solution.
BODY SECTIONS:
NARRATION/BACKGROUND:
What is the history of your topic/issue/claim? Give the audience essential background information. Provide research sources for anything that isn’t common knowledge, especially when providing statistics.
• Begin maybe 5-10 years ago with your topic. What are some key events, topics, ideas (or people) that have happened to make your issue debatable and something to argue?

• Define key words in your position statement that will help convince your audience to believe the way you do. Think about defining at least two words in your claim/position statement.
1. Do you need to redefine or clarify any terms that have specific meaning in this context? For example, what does “institutional racism” mean, and what does it mean in the context of higher education?
PARTITION:
The partition is like an expansion of your thesis statement before you begin your detailed argument. It is typically one to two paragraphs.
• Provide a larger overview about your position on the issue, the exact problem you see and your proposed solution.
• Give specifics and provide support from outside sources as needed.
ARGUMENT:
Develop your argument by creating a list of specific reasons (subclaims) that prove your position. Before you write this section, consider the following:
• As you develop your subclaims, consider the warrants (principles/laws of society) and assumptions (shared values/beliefs) of your audience. Make sure your subclaims appeal to what you have in common with your audience. This will make your argument much more convincing.
• Each reason will become a paragraph with a clear topic sentence; each paragraph will need outside sources to support the subclaim (data, statistics, expert opinion, etc ...
Critical and Analytical ThinkingCritical thinkin.docx
Critical and Analytical Thinking
Critical thinkingWord ‘critical’ has positive and negative meaningsThe word ‘critical’ in academia describes your attitude when reading an article/chapterBeing critical means weighing up the arguments for and against a particular point.
*
Not just the bad parts
How to think criticallyBe persistent – consider an issue carefully more than onceLook at the evidence for a viewpoint – evaluate it – what are they trying to ‘sell’ me?What are the implications of a view point – is it realistic and rational?Knowing facts and what is right is not what academics is aboutIt is important to identify strengths, satisfactory points and weaknesses when being critical – then you must know why this is soYou should be critical when reading, writing and listening
*
Need to fully understand an argument before you can be critical – be confident
Evaluate=what is the value/effectiveness of something, inc. own opinion and supporting each point with evidence
Question the credibility
You are just assessing ideas not learning the answers
Only want informed opinions
Analytical thinkingBeing analytical mean to look deeper into what is being saidDo not take what you read as ‘given’Evaluate what is being argued – do you agree with it?To be analytical is to question what you read
*
Not just reading what is said but ‘thinking’ about it
How to think analyticallyThink about the view point in relation to the bigger picture – stand backCompare the same issue from the point of other authors – do their views differ?Should be able to see why authors have arrived at different conclusionsYou should be able to argue why you think one set of view points is preferable to anotherYou should be analytical when reading, writing and listening
*
Think about your readings together, put into context
You should be asking why a conclusion has been made – need full understanding for this
Barriers to critical and analytical thinkingBeing critical does not just mean criticiseOur reasoning skills are not objective – we are biased ourselvesReluctance to criticise expertsWanting to know what is right and wrongNot reading deeply enough around a subject – surface knowledge
*
Not always black and white there are lots of grey areas in academics
Being analytical and critical is hard work, you have to read carefully and widely
Critical and analytical readingPrepare for critical reading – skim read the introduction and conclusionFind the conclusions first to help clarify the rest of the readingWhat is the underlying argument/ view point?Question hidden agendas or assumptionsTheory can help fill in the gaps – what is theory?
- set of ideas to explain why something happens and predict outcomes in the futureArguments are often based on theory but an argument is not always a theory
Critical and analytical readingWhere is the evidence for a view point?Check references – are they presented accurately and are they credible? - evaluate that evidence –.

Overview
In developing your expertise in transnational
organized crime (TOC) you will be writing a series of research papers. All
together the writing contained in all these papers combined would be quite
significant project! You will find that in some modules, the research papers
mimic our readings with respect to subject matter and some modules, the
research papers do not mimic the reading. Again, the goal of these research
papers is to stretch the depth and breadth of your knowledge. You should feel
well prepared to teach a course in TOCs after completing this course. The
research papers and PowerPoints you create could serve as the basis for such
class. Additionally, you will find that this course and the course CJUS701
Comparative Criminal Justice Systems complement each other very well.
Instructions
·
Each
research paper should be a minimum of 6 to 8 pages.
·
The
vast difference in page count is because some countries and/or crime/topics are
quite easy to study and some countries and/or crime/topics have very limited
information.
·
In
some instances, there will be a plethora of information and you must use
skilled writing to maintain proper page count.
·
Please
keep in mind that this is doctoral level analysis and writing – you are to take
the hard-earned road – the road less travelled – the scholarly road in forming
your paper.
·
The
paper must use current APA style, and the page count does not include the title
page, abstract, reference section, or any extra material.
·
The
minimum elements of the paper are listed below.
·
You
must use a
minimum
of 8 recent (some
countries/crimes/topics may have more recent research articles than others),
relevant, and academic (peer review journals preferred and professional
journals allowed if used judiciously) sources, at least 2 sources being the
Holy Bible, and one recent (some countries/crime/topics have more recent than
others) news article. Books may be used
but are considered “additional: sources beyond the stated minimums. You may use
.gov sources as your recent, relevant, and academic sources if the writing is
academic in nature (authored works). You may also use United Nations and
Whitehouse.gov documents as academic documents.
·
Again,
this paper must reflect graduate level research and writing style. If you need to go over the maximum page count
you must obtain professor permission in advance! Please reference the Research
Paper Rubric when creating your research paper.
These are minimum guidelines – you may expand the
topics covered in your papers.

Put the argument into a concrete shape, into an image, some hard phrase, round and solid as a ball, which they can see and handle and carry home with them,
and the cause is half won.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Overview: Persuasion is a constant in each of our lives. No matter where we look, what we read, what we see, or who we interact with, we are inevitably going to
encounter some form of persuasion. Advertisements want us to buy things. Newspapers and television want to convince us of how we should feel about events.
We are put into positions where we must defend our thoughts and beliefs to others, and the process we apply is typically some form of persuasion.
Persuasive writing is one of the most powerful forms of writing—it has the ability to influence one’s thoughts, and also the ability to change one’s mind about a
particular issue. The persuasive essay is an ideal opportunity to support an opinion on an issue using researched facts and information. It also gives you the
chance to recognize opposing viewpoints and refute it, noting that those who hold the opposing viewpoints are the intended audience of the piece.
Prompt: For this essay, you will identify an issue in your current major, a major you are interested in pursuing, or your field of work. You will then establish an
argument and support that argument with research and relevant evidence.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in one fully developed paragraph each:
I. Writing Plan: Use this writing plan as a way to gather your thoughts and determine your strategy for writing your critical analysis essay. This process will
allow you to develop a potential structure for effectively communicating and supporting your claim. This plan will be helpful in keeping your thought
process on track when you begin writing and revising your essay.
A. Describe the argument to be addressed in your persuasive essay. Explain how the argument relates to your major, the major you are considering
pursuing, or your field of work.
B. Determine three key points that will be helpful in supporting your argument.
C. Identify the audience who will be reading your essay. What potential challenges will you encounter in supporting your argument with this
demographic?
D. Establish a goal that you hope to accomplish with this essay. What will this essay need to be successful?
E. List potential resources that could be used as supporting evidence for your argument, and provide a brief description of each and how they will
reinforce your argument.
F. Align key points of your argument with supporting resources for establishing an effective essay structure.
G. Based on your argument, determine at what points in the essay integrating evidence would be most effective, and explain why.
H. Describe a revision strategy that would be most effective while writing this essay. Why would this strategy be effective? ...

Organizing Your Argument
*
Rationale: Welcome to “Organizing Your Argument.” This presentation is designed to introduce your students to the elements of an organized essay, including the introduction, the thesis, body paragraphs, topic sentences, counterarguments, and the conclusion. The twenty-one slides presented here are designed to aid the facilitator in an interactive presentation about constructing a well-organized argument. This presentation is ideal for the introduction of argument to a composition course, the beginning of a research unit, or the assignment of a written argument.
This presentation may be supplemented with OWL handouts, including “Developing an Outline” and “The Paragraph”.
Directions: Each slide is activated by a single mouse click, unless otherwise noted in bold at the bottom of each notes page.

What is an Argument?An argument involves the process of establishing a claim and then proving it with the use of logical reasoning, examples, and research.
*
Activity: This slide offers a definition of the term “argument.” The facilitator may invite the audience to offer answers to the title question. Students often assume that building an argument is simply a confrontational activity designed to denigrate the opposition’s position. The facilitator may choose to explain to students that the focus of a strong argument should be upon a cohesive explanation of claims effectively paired with correlating evidence.
Why is Organization Important in Argument?Guides an audience through your reasoning processOffers a clear explanation of each argued pointDemonstrates the credibility of the writer
*
Key Concept: Organization is an important component in any argument. Not only does a clear sense of organization guide the reader through the reasoning process, but it also demonstrates the credibility of the writer--that the writer has a clear conception of the issues involved and has the ability to offer a well-crafted response to the topic. An argument that has a confusing organization--that jumps from point to point without establishing connections between topics--is less likely to be convincing to its audience.

Checklist for Global Revision1 Purpose and Audience .docx
Checklist for Global Revision1
Purpose and Audience
• Does the plan accomplish its purpose – to analyze a reading, develop a claim, and
support that claim with evidence from the selected reading?
• Is the plan appropriate for its audience? Does it account for the audience’s
knowledge of the subject, level of interest in the subject, and possible attitudes
toward the subject?
Focus
• Is your claim clear? Do you show how you derived the claim from your selected
reading?
• Do you identify the key points you'll use to support your claim? Have you
explained the rationale for choosing each point?
Organization and Paragraphing
• Are there enough organizational cues for readers, like topic sentences?
• Are ideas presented in a logical order?
• Are any paragraphs too long or too short for easy reading?
Content
• Is the evidence I've chosen relevant and persuasive?
• Which ideas need further development?
• Are the parts proportioned sensibly? Do major ideas receive enough attention?
• Where might material be deleted?
Point of View
• Is the draft free of distracting shifts in point of view (from I to you, for example,
or from it to they)?
• Is the dominant point of view – I, we, you, he, she, it, one, or they – appropriate
for your purpose and audience?
***
“When you revise sentences, you focus on effectiveness; when you edit, you check for
correctness. Proofreading is a slow and careful reading in search of typos and other
obvious mistakes” (Hacker 29).
1 Hacker, Diana. Rules for Writers 6th Ed. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2008.
Paragraph Level Revision
“A paragraph should be unified around a main point. The main point should be clear to
readers, and all sentences in the paragraph should relate to it” (Hacker 40).
• State the main point in a topic sentence – the topic sentence should act as a
signpost pointing in two directions: backward toward the thesis of the essay and
forward toward the body of the paragraph.
• Stick to the point – if a sentence does not support the topic sentence it destroys the
unity of the paragraph
• Develop the main point – a series of brief paragraphs suggests inadequate
development
• Make paragraphs coherent – sentences and paragraphs should flow from one to
another without discernible bumps, gaps, or shifts. Coherence can be improved by
strengthening the ties between old information and new.
o Link ideas clearly
o Repeat key words
o Use parallel structures
o Maintain consistency
o Provide transitions
• If necessary, adjust paragraph length – aim for paragraphs between 100-200
words
Sentence Level Revision
In order to revise sentences without “reading over” the passages you’ve become familiar
with, try starting with the last sentence in your essay and read each sentence from end to
beginning, checking each sentence for clarity, effectiveness, and c ...
Paper 5 Argumentative Research PaperThe research proposal shoul.docx
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.

Classical Argument Outline RHETORICAL SITUATION Purpose Co
Classical Argument Outline
RHETORICAL SITUATION:
Purpose: Compose a Classical Argument essay that aims to persuade your audience by using evidence and research to back up your thesis.
Audience: Peers with an opposite or indifferent viewpoint to yours
Subject: Issue that is debatable and arguable
Thesis: Arguable, Specific (problem), Feasible (solution). See pages 110-113 in Let’s Get Writing!
INTRODUCTION: The introduction will provide a very brief overview of the issue, capture the reader’s interest, and state the arguable thesis. Consider the following questions to gather the information needed for this paragraph:
• Consider using a quote, statistic, or an interesting fact to catch reader’s attention and establish context of persuasion (appeal to pathos)
• Briefly describe the problem with the issue that you are going to address (background and context)
• Why is this issue important? (engage the audience)
• If your argument proposes a solution, you may want to hint at it here.
• Usually, the thesis statement comes at the end of the introduction. Remember, the thesis must be arguable (readers can agree or disagree with it), describe a specific problem, and offer a feasible (workable) solution.
BODY SECTIONS:
NARRATION/BACKGROUND:
What is the history of your topic/issue/claim? Give the audience essential background information. Provide research sources for anything that isn’t common knowledge, especially when providing statistics.
• Begin maybe 5-10 years ago with your topic. What are some key events, topics, ideas (or people) that have happened to make your issue debatable and something to argue?
1.
2.
3.
• Define key words in your position statement that will help convince your audience to believe the way you do. Think about defining at least two words in your claim/position statement.
1. Do you need to redefine or clarify any terms that have specific meaning in this context? For example, what does “institutional racism” mean, and what does it mean in the context of higher education?
PARTITION:
The partition is like an expansion of your thesis statement before you begin your detailed argument. It is typically one to two paragraphs.
• Provide a larger overview about your position on the issue, the exact problem you see and your proposed solution.
• Give specifics and provide support from outside sources as needed.
ARGUMENT:
Develop your argument by creating a list of specific reasons (subclaims) that prove your position. Before you write this section, consider the following:
• As you develop your subclaims, consider the warrants (principles/laws of society) and assumptions (shared values/beliefs) of your audience. Make sure your subclaims appeal to what you have in common with your audience. This will make your argument much more convincing.
• Each reason will become a paragraph with a clear topic sentence; each paragraph will need outside sources to support the subclaim (data, statistics, expert opinion, etc ...
Critical and Analytical ThinkingCritical thinkin.docx
Critical and Analytical Thinking
Critical thinkingWord ‘critical’ has positive and negative meaningsThe word ‘critical’ in academia describes your attitude when reading an article/chapterBeing critical means weighing up the arguments for and against a particular point.
*
Not just the bad parts
How to think criticallyBe persistent – consider an issue carefully more than onceLook at the evidence for a viewpoint – evaluate it – what are they trying to ‘sell’ me?What are the implications of a view point – is it realistic and rational?Knowing facts and what is right is not what academics is aboutIt is important to identify strengths, satisfactory points and weaknesses when being critical – then you must know why this is soYou should be critical when reading, writing and listening
*
Need to fully understand an argument before you can be critical – be confident
Evaluate=what is the value/effectiveness of something, inc. own opinion and supporting each point with evidence
Question the credibility
You are just assessing ideas not learning the answers
Only want informed opinions
Analytical thinkingBeing analytical mean to look deeper into what is being saidDo not take what you read as ‘given’Evaluate what is being argued – do you agree with it?To be analytical is to question what you read
*
Not just reading what is said but ‘thinking’ about it
How to think analyticallyThink about the view point in relation to the bigger picture – stand backCompare the same issue from the point of other authors – do their views differ?Should be able to see why authors have arrived at different conclusionsYou should be able to argue why you think one set of view points is preferable to anotherYou should be analytical when reading, writing and listening
*
Think about your readings together, put into context
You should be asking why a conclusion has been made – need full understanding for this
Barriers to critical and analytical thinkingBeing critical does not just mean criticiseOur reasoning skills are not objective – we are biased ourselvesReluctance to criticise expertsWanting to know what is right and wrongNot reading deeply enough around a subject – surface knowledge
*
Not always black and white there are lots of grey areas in academics
Being analytical and critical is hard work, you have to read carefully and widely
Critical and analytical readingPrepare for critical reading – skim read the introduction and conclusionFind the conclusions first to help clarify the rest of the readingWhat is the underlying argument/ view point?Question hidden agendas or assumptionsTheory can help fill in the gaps – what is theory?
- set of ideas to explain why something happens and predict outcomes in the futureArguments are often based on theory but an argument is not always a theory
Critical and analytical readingWhere is the evidence for a view point?Check references – are they presented accurately and are they credible? - evaluate that evidence –.

Overview
In developing your expertise in transnational
organized crime (TOC) you will be writing a series of research papers. All
together the writing contained in all these papers combined would be quite
significant project! You will find that in some modules, the research papers
mimic our readings with respect to subject matter and some modules, the
research papers do not mimic the reading. Again, the goal of these research
papers is to stretch the depth and breadth of your knowledge. You should feel
well prepared to teach a course in TOCs after completing this course. The
research papers and PowerPoints you create could serve as the basis for such
class. Additionally, you will find that this course and the course CJUS701
Comparative Criminal Justice Systems complement each other very well.
Instructions
·
Each
research paper should be a minimum of 6 to 8 pages.
·
The
vast difference in page count is because some countries and/or crime/topics are
quite easy to study and some countries and/or crime/topics have very limited
information.
·
In
some instances, there will be a plethora of information and you must use
skilled writing to maintain proper page count.
·
Please
keep in mind that this is doctoral level analysis and writing – you are to take
the hard-earned road – the road less travelled – the scholarly road in forming
your paper.
·
The
paper must use current APA style, and the page count does not include the title
page, abstract, reference section, or any extra material.
·
The
minimum elements of the paper are listed below.
·
You
must use a
minimum
of 8 recent (some
countries/crimes/topics may have more recent research articles than others),
relevant, and academic (peer review journals preferred and professional
journals allowed if used judiciously) sources, at least 2 sources being the
Holy Bible, and one recent (some countries/crime/topics have more recent than
others) news article. Books may be used
but are considered “additional: sources beyond the stated minimums. You may use
.gov sources as your recent, relevant, and academic sources if the writing is
academic in nature (authored works). You may also use United Nations and
Whitehouse.gov documents as academic documents.
·
Again,
this paper must reflect graduate level research and writing style. If you need to go over the maximum page count
you must obtain professor permission in advance! Please reference the Research

Generation Gaps: Changes in the Workplace due to
Differing Generational Values
Carbary Kelly, Fredericks Elizabeth, Mishra Bharat and Mishra Jitendra*
Management Department, Grand Valley State University, 50 Front Ave, SW Grand Rapids Michigan 49504-6424, USA
*[email protected]
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to discuss the
generational gaps that are found in the workplace
today. With multiple generations working together,
and the oldest generation having to work longer and
retire later, generational changes are occurring in the
workplace and for management. There is a lack of
communication and understanding between the
different generations caused through differing values
and goals. Younger generations are also entering
different fields than those that were popular for older
generations. There is a serious new problem in the
workplace, and it has nothing to do with downsizing,
global competition, pointy-haired bosses, stress or
greed. Instead, it is the problem of distinct
generations — the Veterans, the Baby Boomers, Gen
X and Gen Y — working together and often colliding
as their paths cross.
Individuals with different values, different ideas,
different ways of getting things done and different
ways of communicating in the workplace have always
existed. So, why is this becoming a problem now? At
work, generation differences can affect everything
including recruiting, building teams, dealing with
change, motivating, managing, and maintaining and
increasing productivity All of these ideas are
explored, discussed, and evaluated, through looking
at current research on the topic and case studies that
have been conducted not only in the United States but
around the world.
Keywords: Generation gap, workplace, values.
Introduction
Throughout the years, as the population has continued to
both grow and age, it has caused generational changes to
take place in the various aspects of life. With the changes in
the demographics of the world’s population, there have also
been changes in how each group thinks and what they
value. This not only affects the way people behave in their
personal lives, but it also affects the workplace. As
generational changes occur in the workplace, a lack of
communication has caused adisconnect to occur between
the values and goals present among the different age groups
along with newer generations choosing different career
paths.
* Author for Correspondence
In order to understand where these differences stem from,
you need to analyze how each generation is different when
it comes to their beliefs and values. So, it is best to identify
the different groups present in workplace which range from
those born in 1922 to those born in the early 1990’s.

Advocating for Early Childhood Education
· What is advocacy?
Advocacy is how we support our children. We as teachers give advice for our children or we listen. We let the children and families know that we believe in them and we will be there for them. Teachers, admin, staff can advocate for children as long as they are in school. Advocates are also trained people and they are not lawyers. One of their responsibility is to stay up to date with the regulations of the educational laws.
· Why is advocacy important to early childhood education?
Its important to help the families because they might be vulnerable in society. We as teachers need to make sure our children and families are being heard. We as teachers need to make sure their wishes and views are being considered when it’s about their child or family. Its because we are helping the family make life decisions about their children and even their family life. Its also important to make sure we are not judging the family or having or our own personal opinions about what is going on when we are helping advocate for the family, we need to make sure we are stating the facts for the family.
· What is your role as an early childhood educator in making legislative changes?
Our role is to be able to email them or decide how to get a hold of them and let them know our questions, comments or suggestions on things that need to be changed, updated. We need to let them know so we can support our school, children, and families. It is our role as educators to stay aware of the laws. The Federal laws we need to make sure we are aware of the
· Family Education Rights & Poverty Act
· The No Child Left Behind
· Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
With these laws and many more they need to hear from schools in the United States. The federal laws mean we need to address the issues. These issues usually involve infringement of the student’s rights and they are to protect the rights. The state laws depend on the state you are in. The state laws this is where you would go if you have a problem or need to voice about
· Teacher Retirement
· Teacher evaluations
· Charter schools
· State Testing requirements
· The required learning standards
· Much more
Your school board is also a great place to help with policies and regulations and any revisions that need to be done.
· What ethical issues must early childhood education professionals consider related to advocacy and why do those issues exit?
In NAEYC the code of Ethical Conduct and in their it describes how any educator is required to act and what they do and not to do. At times as an educator as staff we tend to do what is the simplest or sometimes, we want to please others but when it comes to this, we must remember to follow our responsi.
Advertising is one of the most common forms of visual persuasion we .docx
Advertising is one of the most common forms of visual persuasion we encounter in everyday life. The influence of advertising in our society is persuasive and subtle. Part of its power comes from our habit of internalizing the intended messages of words and images without thinking deeply about them. Once we begin decoding the ways in which advertisements are constructed, once we view them critically, we can understand how, or if, they work as arguments. We may then make better decisions about whether to buy products and what factors convinced us or failed to convince us.
What are the different forms of advertising?
Modern media comes in many different formats, including print media (books, magazines, newspapers), television, movies, video games, music, cell phones, various kinds of software, and the Internet. Each type of media involves both content and also a device or object through which that content is delivered.
TEAM TASK:
As a team you are going to Review Chapter 4: Visual Rhetoric: Thinking About Images as Arguments. You will
be assigned a Section of the Chapter (written, visual, unfit, political, caricature, photography-maps graphs charts ) and as a Team you willResearch
the content of that Chapter Area (you will see topic page overlap ) and implement the following:
You will look at and interpret a media campaign or advertisement. Focus on social or ethical aspects * Seek to find one or more of the FALLACY TYPES identified Chapter 9 pages 363- 380. Include this information in your findings. Consider and incorporate as many of the following 16 categories :
The objectives: What role does the ad play in the economy?
The audience: Is it targeted to a group that could be considered vulnerable?
Effectiveness: Does it promote something that is socially desirable?
Role in marketing mix: What role does the ad play in the economy?
Image, product differentiation and branding: Is the ad misleading?
Other promotion factors
The unique selling proposition.
The basis for the appeal(s).
How would you make improvements?
The creative philosophy
The slogan
Secondary or supporting points or claims
The tone or mood and manner: Is the ad misleading?
Type of presenter
The motivational appeal: Does it promote something that is socially desirable?
Executional style
Each TEAM will develop a
15 minute class presentation
about their researched area. You have
options to use
power points, maps, videos, and other resources that will help educate your audience about your research.
Your Presentation should include:
A Power Point, the media piece or some type of visual presentation~~

Advertising Goals
A primary goal of advertising is to build brand awareness among existing and new customers. The creative should inform and persuade them to make purchases and build brand loyalty.
4
Build brand awareness
Inform, persuade, support marketing efforts
Encourage purchase decisions
Building Brand Awareness
Successful brands possess two characteristics. Top-of-mind are brands a consumer mentions first when asked about brands in a particular product category – these are brands in our Evoked Set. Top choice is the brand within a product category that consumers prefer the most. So top choice requires top-of-mind. Brand equity, which is the level of brand strength perceived by consumers, leads to top-of-mind and top choice brands.
This is also applicable on the B2B side when business people are faced with modified rebuy situations. A common dilemma I had was for every Fox Graduation Ceremony, there are three per year, and the need for graduation program booklets. There was a printer who I always wanted to hire because I enjoyed working with them, they always had fair prices and delivered high-quality programs in a timely manner. However, due to non-profit regulations, I had to bid the job to at least three vendors. So my top-of-mind, first choice brand was always included but I had to add two other vendors as well. Tell story about Bill DeVece and misspelled student names and how wonderful he was in fixing these issues.

Adopt-a-Plant Project guidelines
Overview:
The purpose of this project is for you to choose a plant, conduct online research into the biology of the plant, and communicate what you have learned. You will be preparing an annotated bibliography on the plant you choose. The entire project is worth 50 points
Annotated Bibliography (50 points)
You will prepare an annotated bibliography with a list of the top 10 most interesting facts about your plant.
· Each fact should be paraphrased (i.e. written in your own words, no quotations allowed).
· Then tell me why this is interesting to you – make connections to your life or to currents issues in our world.
· Finally, give a full citation and tell me why you think this is a reliable, trustworthy source. Use this libguide to help you come up with reasons why your source is trustworthy.
· At least one of your sources should be from a peer-reviewed, science journal article.
Here is an example:
Fact 1: Taxol is a chemotherapy agent derived from the bark of the Pacific Yew Tree. The chemical itself is derived from a fungal endophtye within the bark. I thought this was very interesting, because the Pacific Yew tree is native to the state of Washington, and my aunt Jane received Taxol while undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. I also thought it was interesting because of the mutualistic relationship between the plant and the fungus.Citation: Plant natural products from cultured multipotent cells
Roberts, Susan; Kolewe, Martin. Nature Biotechnology28.11 (Nov 2010): 1175-6.
This is a reliable source because it is published in a peer-reviewed science journal article, written by two PhDs that are providing a review of the current literature on the topic
To complete the assignment, you should first choose a plant, gather articles discussing your plant, read the articles sufficiently enough to discuss the plant, and finally write the annotated bibliography. You are expected to produce original work, and any plagiarism will receive a zero. The paper should be double-spaced, and typed in 12 point font size, with normal margins. The instructions for how to properly cite your sources are at the end of this handout.
*** Reminder: The scientific name of a plant should always be typed in italics, with the first letter of the Genus capitalized. For ex.: Digitalis lanata. When you search for information on your plant online, make sure to use the scientific name, which will bring back a wider variety of results
The bibliography is worth 50 points and will be graded on:
1. Effort
• Quality of references
•Depth/breadth/quality of material covered
2. Following directions/ requirements
I will use the following rubric to grade your bibliography:
Research, Critical Reading and Documentation
Balanced, authoritative sources; correctly cited sources; effectively integrated outside sources. Most sources from science journals
10 pts
Effective sources, correctly cited, Could have a few more.

however, very complex. Under good conditions, Tennessee Street is the fastest route. When Tennessee
is congested, one of the other routes is preferable. Over the past two months, Dorothy has tried each of
route several times under different traffic conditions. This information is summarized in minutes of
travel time to work in the following table:

Adlerian-Based Positive Group Counseling
Interventions w ith Emotionally Troubled Youth
J. Steve Hamm, Jon Carlson, and Bengu Erguner-Tekinalp
Abstract
The focus o f Adlerian therapy is to help individuals discover their resources and
strengths, and to help them to be more encouraged in reaching their goals in a more
functioning way. Recently, the positive psychology movement has become the ma
jo r focus for researchers and mental health providers. Adlerian theory and ensuing
humanistic approaches have been considered as the basis of positive psychology.
Positive psychology— like Adlerian theory— calls for looking at individual strengths,
virtues, and areas of well-being. This article describes an Adlerian-based group coun
seling program which integrated positive psychology interventions with youth in a
residential treatment center. This article describes how Adlerian theory aligns with
the positive psychology interventions, along w ith recommendations for practitioners.
Keywords: Individual Psychology, positive psychology, strength-based, resilience,
well-being, encouragement, posttraumatic growth
There has been an increasing interest in focusing on strengths, solutions,
resilience, and thriving of individuals even after traumatic experiences.
Alfred Adler has been considered as the forefather of such strength-based
approaches (Erguner-Tekinalp, 2016; Carlson, Watts, & Maniacci, 2006).
Within the last two decades, an interest has grown in studies and interven
tions examining human strengths, virtues, and well-being with the increas
ing popularity of the positive psychology movement (Seligman, Steen, Park,
& Peterson, 2005). Positive psychology is defined as the scientific study of
optimal human functioning (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000). The goal
of this alternative movement is to understand well-being rather than dis
order, and not only how people recover or cope but also how individuals
and communities thrive and flourish (Seligman, 2011). An effort has been
made to change the focus of mental health professionals from focusing on
what has been harmful in problematic and traumatic events to how individu
als cope with, develop resilient capacities for, and even in some cases thrive
through these negative experiences. The focus is more on what goes well
with individuals rather than what goes wrong (Carlson, Watts, & Maniacci,
2006). This approach to helping is more complete as it identifies not only

the negative impact but also the individuals' striving to overcome. It is very
common for individuals to discover their strengths, gifts, and many posi
tive traits through experiencing problems (Saleebey, 1992; .
After completing the assessment, my Signature Theme Report produ.docx
After completing the assessment, my Signature Theme Report produced the following results: Communication, Relator, Individualization, Consistency, and Strategic. When I first saw the themes presented, I was a little skeptical at first but after reading the detailed descriptions I felt like it made a lot of sense and mirrored a lot of what I had already thought about myself.
A core value that I would like to continue to strengthen would be the value of acceptance. One of my top five themes was relator which explained that I have a comfortability with gravitating towards people I already know and building relationships from there. I don’t have issues with making new relationships, but I can see that sometimes I close myself off initially to embracing new ones. With acceptance, you have to understand that there are some situations you can control and some that you can’t but embracing the latter can lead to new experiences that could be beneficial (Riley, 2021). Another core value that I would like to improve upon would be calmness. This fits in well with my theme of consistency. While I am a firm believer of things being fair and consistent, I can get easily upset when things don’t balance out like they are expected to. I know that working on being calm in tense situations will help me adapt easier when things don’t always work out as they should.
One of the strengths that I would like to embrace fully and continue to improve upon is communication. It was no surprise to me that communication was at the top of my list for my themes. When I am in a position of leadership at work, I make it a priority to keep my staff updated on everything that is going on for that night and it is something I expect from my charge nurse when I am working the floor also. A communicator is only effective when they are aware of their style of communicating and how others perceive or respond to it (Marshall & Broome, 2021). As a communicator I know that I can always work on how I communicate non-verbally and with body language especially. The other strength that I would like to continue to work on is of being strategic. The report explained that the strategic theme fit me because I am able to sort through the clutter and find the best route when I am trying to accomplish something. I really believe this about myself because when I have a task I need to accomplish, whether I am in a leader position or not, I will break everything down and reorganize it to make sure I have come up with the best solution. I feel like the best way to do something is the way that makes it concise and without a lot of excess getting in the way.
A characteristic of mine that I would like to strengthen would be that of instinct. My theme of individualization points out that I have an instinct about others and how they work and function. I have always felt that I easily read people and can get a sense of who they truly are and for example in the workplace how they are as a staff member. S.

Program Transcript
[MUSIC PLAYING]
NARRATOR: Advocacy and change are closely intertwined. In this video
program, Dr. Judy Lewis defines advocacy and explains the roles of counselors
advocating for change. Dr. Lewis also describes barriers counselors may face as
they advocate for change, and how to overcome these barriers.
DR. JUDY LEWIS: At its most basic, advocacy is simply the act of speaking up
on behalf of someone else-- maybe speaking up for someone who is voiceless or
powerless.
When it comes to the counseling profession, advocacy is particularly important
for two reasons. One is that part of our process of working with clients is to help
them gain the strength and the skills so they can advocate on their own behalf.
The other part of it is that once we realize that the client might not have the
power to be able to speak up on his or her own behalf, sometimes we may have
to be the ones that speak up on behalf of the clients.
This happens especially when we see a lot of different clients all having similar
problems, and we realize that there is a systemic reason for it. There is
something in the community environment that is standing between these clients
and what they need.
So as counselors, when we're oriented toward advocacy, what we are doing is
changing the lens through which we see the client. Instead of looking through a
microscope at the individual client, we're looking through a wide-angle lens. So
that we're seeing the context of what's happening in the client's life.
When counselors carry out advocacy, they do this at several different levels. One
level is the level of working with the individual client or family. When you're
working with an individual client, you have two alternatives. One is to work in an
empowering way with the individual so that he or she learns to advocate for
himself or herself.
The other possibility-- when that doesn't provide all the answers-- the other
possibility is to do advocacy on behalf of that individual. When we're working with
the clients in an empowering way, what we're helping them see is the degree to
which some of the problems that they're having may not be totally their fault.
When people start feeling as though they're so much at fault, sometimes they just
get stuck and can't seem to move beyond their current situation. If they can begin
to see for themselves what some of the barriers are that are preventing them
from getting to where they want to go, and where sometimes they're not

completely at fault-- they're not completely guilty-- we can start to teach them
some of the skills that they need. So they can speak up on their own behalf and
have some success.
Sometimes they might not have the power to do this on their own. They may
need help. So we may be involved in individual advocacy where we are standing
up to the system on behalf of certain c.
Advanced persistent threats (APTs) have been thrust into the spotlig.docx
Advanced persistent threats (APTs) have been thrust into the spotlight due to their advanced tactics, techniques, procedures, and tools. These APTs are resourced unlike other types of cyber threat actors.
Your chief technology officer (CTO) has formed teams to each develop a detailed analysis and presentation of a specific APT, which she will assign to the team.
.
Your report should use
The Cybersecurity Threat Landscape Team Assignment Resources
to cover the following five areas:
Part 1: Threat Landscape Analysis
Provide a detailed analysis of the threat landscape today.
What has changed in the past few years?
Describe common tactics, techniques, and procedures to include threat actor types.
What are the exploit vectors and vulnerabilities threat actors are predicted to take advantage of?
Part 2: APT Analysis
Provide detailed analysis and description of the APT your group was assigned. Describe the specific tactics used to gain access to the target(s).
Describe the tools used. Describe what the objective of the APT was/is. Was it successful?
Part 3: Cybersecurity Tools, Tactics, and Procedures
Describe current hardware- and software-based cybersecurity tools, tactics, and procedures.
Consider the hardware and software solutions deployed today in the context of defense-in-depth.
Elaborate on why these devices are not successful against the APTs.
Part 4: Machine Learning and Data Analytics
Describe the concepts of machine learning and data analytics and how applying them to cybersecurity will evolve the field.
Are there companies providing innovative defensive cybersecurity measures based on these technologies? If so, what are they? Would you recommend any of these to the CTO?
Part 5: Using Machine Learning and Data Analytics to Prevent APT
Describe how machine learning and data analytics could have detected and/or prevented the APT you analyzed had the victim organization deployed these technologies at the time of the event. Be specific.
Part 6: Ethics in Cybersecurity.
Ethical issues are at the core of what we do as cybersecurity professionals. Think of the example of a cyber defender working in a hospital. They are charged with securing the network, medical devices, and protecting sensitive personal health information from unauthorized disclosure. They are not only protecting patient privacy but their health and perhaps even their lives. Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability - the C-I-A triad - and many other cybersecurity practices are increasingly at play in protecting citizens in all walks of life and in all sectors. Thus, acting in an ethical manner is one of the hallmarks of cybersecurity professionals.
Do you think the vulnerability(ies) exploited by the APT constitutes an ethical failure by the defender? Why or why not?
For the APT scenario your group studied, were there identifiable harms to privacy or property? How are these harms linked to C-I-A? If not, what ethically si.

Adultism refers to the oppression of young people by adults. The pop.docx
Adultism refers to the oppression of young people by adults. The popular saying "children should be seen and not heard" is used as a way to remind a child of his or her place and reaffirm the adult's power in the relationship. The saying suggests that children's voices are not as important or as valid as an adult's and they should remain quiet. Children are often relegated to subordinate positions due to socially constructed beliefs about what they can or cannot accomplish or what they should or should not do; this in turn compromises youth's self-determination. This oppression is further highlighted when considering the intersection of age with race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and sexual orientation. You will be asked to consider all of these when reviewing the Logan case and Parker case.
By Day 3

Introduction to Quality Improvement Essentials
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
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.pdf
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.

ENG 123 Assignment 2, Milestone 1 Guidelines and Rubric 5.docx
- 1. ENG 123 Assignment 2, Milestone 1 Guidelines and Rubric 5-6 Draft Overview: Persuasion is a constant in each and every one of our lives. No matter where we look, what we read, what we see, or who we interact with, we are inevitably going to encounter some form of persuasion. Advertisements want us to buy things. Newspapers and television want to convince us of what we should feel about events. We are put into positions where we must defend our thoughts and beliefs to others, and the process we apply is typically some form of persuasion. Persuasive writing is one of the most powerful forms of writing—it has the ability to influence one’s thoughts, and also the ability to change one’s mind about a particular issue. The persuasive essay is an ideal opportunity to support an opinion on an issue utilizing researched facts and information. This also gives the chance to recognize that there is an opposing viewpoint to a position and to refute the opposing argument, noting that those who hold the opposing viewpoints are the intended audience of the piece. Prompt: For this milestone, you will submit a draft of your persuasive essay. At this point in the course, if you have completed the previous milestone guided activities, the text boxes should be combined and transformed into a draft. This milestone will help you address the critical
- 2. elements from Sections I–III below, which will ultimately inform your final submission of the persuasive essay. You have until the deadline to work on this draft. Whatever is completed by the deadline will be submitted to your instructor for grading and feedback. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Introduction This is where readers will have a chance to get an idea of what your essay will be about and what you will prove throughout. Do not give all of your information away here, but give readers a sample of what is to come. Do not forget to review your writing plan to make sure you are hitting all of the points that you planned out, while also stating your argument. A. Provides an overview of the issue you have selected, briefly describing main points and your argument. B. Compose an engaging thesis that states the argument that you will prove and support throughout your essay. This statement will give direction to your essay and should be well thought out. II. Body The body is your opportunity to describe and support your argument in depth. Make sure your thoughts and evidence are clear and organized in a way that is easy for readers to follow and understand. A. Be sure that you write multiple paragraphs that are focused, clearly state their intent, and move logically from one to the
- 3. other, building the thesis argument as the essay progresses. B. Your body paragraphs should support your argument by combining thoughts and ideas with evidence from sources. There is no such thing as a right or wrong argument; the key is how it is supported and the quality of the evidence used. C. Address and refute any opposing viewpoints to your argument. This is your chance to discredit any opposing views, thus strengthening your own. III. Conclusion Think of the conclusion as a review of your argument. Use this section to restate your argument and remind readers of your supporting evidence. Think of this as your last chance to persuade readers to agree with you. A. Review your argument. This section should consist of a review of your main points employed to support your argument. Think of this as your last chance to prove your point or your closing arguments. B. Your conclusion should articulate insights about your argument established through your essay.
