Here are my responses to the reading comprehension questions:
- This study suggests that how we use social media like Twitter may depend on whether we are using a mobile device or computer. Being aware of this could help me understand differences in how I and others communicate on these platforms based on the device. It may also influence how companies approach marketing and messaging for different devices.
- Personality likely influences how we choose to use technologies, but technologies can also shape our behaviors over time. Things like needing to be brief on mobile may encourage more direct/informal language. But core personality traits still drive our initial tendencies. It's a two-way relationship between person and tool.
- This adds nuance to assumptions about Twitter users.

REQUIREMENTS RESEARCH PROJECTNow its time to begin (two) major .docxsodhi3
REQUIREMENTS RESEARCH PROJECT
Now it's time to begin (two) major writing assignments: 1) the Focused Annotated Bibliography and 2) the Research Paper assignments. The Focused Annotated Bibliography is the research for the final research paper; therefore, you need to provide a "focus," a purpose statement that will become your thesis for the paper. Make sure you use correct MLA style for both papers. Directions for both assignments are in the course content; I suggest that you read all directions, example, etc. before beginning the bibliography assignment. Also read "How to Write about Literature" and "How to do Research" in the course content.
Requirements Specific directions, guides and examples are in Unit One: “Course Resources & Writing Assignments” in the Content. Read Unit One before beginning this assignment. Due Date: check the course calendar in the Syllabus and Start Items in the course content
Clear focus or thesis that is supported with examples, quotes and paraphrases from both primary and secondary sources.
6-8 pages in length, not counting the Works Cited page
MLA documentation style
Typed and double-spaced, 12 point font such as Times New Roman
Written in Standard English, free of grammatical and spelling errors
Use at least five scholarly sources; the best databases are: JSTOR, MLA, and Literary Reference Center. If an article isn’t available in our library, use interlibrary loan. You can order interlibrary loan articles online on the library’s website. Articles will be delivered to your email address.
Please note that you may or may not use all the sources cited in your Annotated Bibliography, which is part of your preliminary research. Whether you use a source depends on your thesis or purpose.
A word of caution: do not use non-scholarly sources or any online sources, especially Wikipedia or Sparknotes. If you rely on these sources, you will fail the assignment.
If you plagiarize, you will receive a zero for the assignment and may fail the class.
I will only accept Word files; do not use PDF.
Do not use online bibliography help, services that supposedly put your citations in correct MLA style – these sources are not accurate or reliable. You are responsible for understanding and implementing correct MLA style in your citations and in your papers.

REQUIREMENTS RESEARCH PROJECTNow its time to begin (two) major .docxsodhi3
REQUIREMENTS RESEARCH PROJECT
Now it's time to begin (two) major writing assignments: 1) the Focused Annotated Bibliography and 2) the Research Paper assignments. The Focused Annotated Bibliography is the research for the final research paper; therefore, you need to provide a "focus," a purpose statement that will become your thesis for the paper. Make sure you use correct MLA style for both papers. Directions for both assignments are in the course content; I suggest that you read all directions, example, etc. before beginning the bibliography assignment. Also read "How to Write about Literature" and "How to do Research" in the course content.
Requirements Specific directions, guides and examples are in Unit One: “Course Resources & Writing Assignments” in the Content. Read Unit One before beginning this assignment. Due Date: check the course calendar in the Syllabus and Start Items in the course content
Clear focus or thesis that is supported with examples, quotes and paraphrases from both primary and secondary sources.
6-8 pages in length, not counting the Works Cited page
MLA documentation style
Typed and double-spaced, 12 point font such as Times New Roman
Written in Standard English, free of grammatical and spelling errors
Use at least five scholarly sources; the best databases are: JSTOR, MLA, and Literary Reference Center. If an article isn’t available in our library, use interlibrary loan. You can order interlibrary loan articles online on the library’s website. Articles will be delivered to your email address.
Please note that you may or may not use all the sources cited in your Annotated Bibliography, which is part of your preliminary research. Whether you use a source depends on your thesis or purpose.
A word of caution: do not use non-scholarly sources or any online sources, especially Wikipedia or Sparknotes. If you rely on these sources, you will fail the assignment.
If you plagiarize, you will receive a zero for the assignment and may fail the class.
I will only accept Word files; do not use PDF.
Do not use online bibliography help, services that supposedly put your citations in correct MLA style – these sources are not accurate or reliable. You are responsible for understanding and implementing correct MLA style in your citations and in your papers.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESEARCH PAPER (PART TWO)
READ & EXTRACTED From UNIT 1
The Research Paper Assignment What is a Research Paper? In this class, the research paper is defined as a literary analysis, (see my handout on how to write a literary analysis in this module), a paper that explains and interprets a specific idea about one of the texts assigned in the course. Remember that you are using the primary source, the text, to support a specific reading – to do this process, you must do a close reading of your text. This involves finding evidence from the primary text to support your argument, your claim or thesis. You are also required to use scholarly eviden ...
Issue Analysis EssayWorkshop on Draft IIIntroDo you ha.docxvrickens
Rape culture leads to the widespread underreporting of sexual assault crimes. Victims fear retaliation or being disbelieved. If reported, a case often won't proceed due to lack of evidence. And the legal process is draining for victims, involving reliving trauma through repeated testimony and cross-examination. Rape culture myths affect how society and the legal system treat victims. Comprehensive reform is needed to support victims and properly address this prevalent issue.

The Three-Part Topic Proposal for Research
Save this file to your computer; type in your responses for each of the three areas below, and then upload your work by the deadline using the dropbox in Module 11.
Step 1:Explanation
Write a one-paragraph explanation. (This is not an introductory paragraph for the paper.) This should be an explanation of your focused topic and what you hope to prove to your reader through your analysis.
Step 2:Working Thesis
Really think about what you wrote in the explanation and pull it together by creating a working thesis. You will likely continue to revise and edit this thesis. Remember: A THESIS should include the focused topic plus your assertion about the significance of that topic. It should be argumentative in nature, since it is an opinion that you will prove through a close analysis of the details of the text.
Step 3: Tentative Outline
Now create a tentative outline for your working thesis. In other words, how will you break up your body paragraphs to prove or support the thesis?
Assignment:
APPROACH #2:
Another approach would be to expand on an idea addressed briefly in one of your discussion posts. Remember, you'll need to create a focused thesis statement. The prompts below can be used to create an assertion that you could then prove in your body paragraphs through a close analysis of the primary source (the work we studied) and through support from your secondary sources (literary criticism).
Edgar Allan Poe - "The Fall of the House of Usher"
Analyze the use of parallels or mirror images in this story. How does this kind of imagery support a thematic idea running throughout the story?
· SOURCES: You must use a minimum of THREE secondary sources. You will cite the work you are analyzing, of course, but it is a primary source. Therefore, you will have a minimum of FOUR sources listed on your Works Cited page. At least ONE of your secondary sources must be an article from a scholarly journal accessed via an LSCS library database. You must not use Cliffs Notes or Bloom's Notes or the like, basic dictionaries or encyclopedias, or any plot summaries. You should select reputable sources of literary criticism that help you prove your thesis. If, in addition to these minimum source requirements, you would like to briefly cite a source such as The Bible or a specialized dictionary - that is fine. If in doubt about the quality of a source, ask me or a reference librarian. An essay that does not meet the minimum source requirements will earn an automatic F.
· LENGTH: The essay must be 3-4 textual pages (not including the Works Cited page). The essay must follow MLA manuscript form guidelines stated in the 7th edition of the MLA Handbook. The text of the essay must be 3 full textual pages, meaning it will reach the bottom, one-inch margin on the third page of a correctly formatted Word document. An essay that does not meet the minimum length requirements will earn an automatic F. Plea ...

Abstract
Following generally accepted rules for preparing manuscripts will help students confidently structure professional papers. This manuscript provides a basic layout for students to apply in this program and in their professional writing. The approach is based upon the sixth edition of the APA guidelines (2009). The topics of general formatting, the introduction, section headings, quotations, citations, conclusion, and references are discussed. The APA guidelines define an abstract as a single paragraph, without indentation, that summarizes the key points of the manuscript. The purpose of the abstract is to provide the reader with a brief summary of the paper, such as this abstract. The total length should not exceed 120 words, with each sentence written concisely.
Introduction
Learning to write in a recognized
professional format, such as APA, will help students achieve effective academic and professional writing. Using an established manuscript format is more efficient for the author and the reader, leading to more effective communication. According to a College Board (2004) su.
The document provides guidance on academic writing at the university level. It discusses establishing clear topics and arguments for essays, as well as organizing essays in a logical manner through drafting and revision. University writing differs from high school writing in several ways, such as not having a predetermined number of paragraphs. Strong introductions present the topic clearly while conclusions should not simply summarize. Additional topics covered include selecting essay topics, using paragraphs and topic sentences, formulating thesis statements, conducting critical reading, and the role of summaries, quotations, abstracts, and bibliographies in academic writing.
This document provides guidance for writing a review essay on 2-6 works that share a common theme. It should include an introduction stating the theme and its importance, a review of each work summarizing its content and perspective, a synthesis section discussing what is collectively learned about the theme, and a conclusion restating the thesis. The review of each work covers the author's background and intent, a summary of content, and strengths and weaknesses. The synthesis section notes areas of agreement, disagreement, and how the treatments help or limit understanding of the theme.

This document contains instructions for a multi-part assignment analyzing the governance, compensation, and financial performance of a public company. Students are asked to select a public company and review its proxy statement to assess the qualifications of its board members, evaluate the structure of executive compensation and whether it is reasonable given company performance, and identify any related-party transactions. The 3-4 page paper should discuss these points in a clear, organized business style with in-text citations and adhere to formatting guidelines provided. Grading will consider the quality, organization, and writing skills demonstrated in the student's analysis and discussion.
The document provides advice on academic writing from the University of Toronto. It discusses developing an argument in essays, the differences between high school and university writing expectations, planning and organizing essays, writing introductions and conclusions, developing paragraphs, reading and researching critically, specific types of academic writing, and editing for style. It emphasizes developing a clear thesis, considering the intended audience and discipline, and structuring essays in a logical flow of ideas supported by evidence.
This document provides advice on various aspects of academic writing such as essay structure, thesis statements, paragraph structure, and use of sources. It emphasizes that essays should have a clear argument supported by evidence. Good writing practices include starting early, outlining, and revising. When using sources, direct quotations should be limited and paraphrasing or summarizing is often better. The document also covers topics such as understanding essay topics, writing introductions and conclusions, comparing items in a comparative essay, and revising for clarity and organization.
Academic essays require an argument supported by evidence from sources. They should have an introduction that provides context and a thesis, body paragraphs that develop the argument, and a conclusion. When writing, students should do research, take notes, write drafts, and revise for clarity, flow, and to address any errors. Proper formatting of citations and references is needed to avoid plagiarism.
Unit VIII Final Research Paper Draft Purpose The purpose of.docxdickonsondorris
Unit VIII Final Research Paper Draft
Purpose:
The purpose of this final draft is to finish the paper you have been working on throughout the course by adding a conclusion and an abstract.
Description:
In this assignment, you will assemble the final draft of your Research Paper you have been working on throughout the course. Your Research Paper Final Draft should include the elements listed below.
Elements:
The grade of your Research Paper Final Draft is largely based on your inclusion of these elements and the overall quality of your writing. Your paper must contain the following elements.
1. Cover page and APA formatting:
You should include an APA-style cover page for your Research Paper. See the example on page 16 of The CSU APA Guide (6th edition). Your cover page should include the following: the title of your paper, your name, and the name of your university (Columbia Southern University). The running head should include up to 50 characters from the title of the paper, along with a sequential page number in the upper right-hand corner.
2. Abstract:
The abstract is a 150-250 word summary of your Research Paper, and it should be written only after you have finished writing the entire paper because how your abstract is worded largely depends on the development of your paper. Your abstract should be accurate, self-contained, concise and specific, non-evaluative, coherent, and readable. Your abstract may be modeled after the theoretical paper model or empirical study model. For information or an example of an abstract, see p. 12 of The CSU APA Guide (6th edition) and p. 511 of Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers. Note that the abstract presented references MLA, but yours should be in APA style. The abstract should be the second page in the paper, after the cover page, and the abstract should be on its own page. The text of the paper itself should begin on page 3. Your abstract must meet the following standards:
• Be 150-250 words • Be located on the second page of your final draft • Have a heading of Abstract that is centered at the top of the page.
3. Introduction:
There are some pitfalls to writing an introductory paragraph, and you can avoid some of them by reading through the Checklist: “Avoid Certain Mistakes in the Introduction” on p. 495 of Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers.
4. Review of literature:
The review of literature should be a smooth transition from the introduction of your paper and should present a controlled summary of the conversation surrounding your topic.
5. Body paragraphs:
Each paragraph of the body of your Research Paper should be a cohesive unit. It should be tight, but developed. It should serve a function, and its purpose should always be to bolster the thesis. Therefore, you should use the following order for each paragraph in the body.
a. Topic sentence: This sentence summarizes the entire paragraph in one strong, well-written sentence, and it dir ...

This document provides guidance on writing a journal article review. It explains that a journal article review critiques an academic article for a knowledgeable reader in the same field. It recommends skimming the article initially, then thoroughly reading and taking notes while considering how the article sets its objectives, presents concepts and arguments, uses evidence and methodology, and contributes to the literature. The review should introduce the article, briefly summarize its contents and argument, critically discuss 2-3 key issues, and finally evaluate the article's overall contribution to the topic. Checklists are provided to ensure identification of the article, objective summarization of its argument, discussion of key issues with evidence and reasoning, and a concluding evaluation.
This document provides advice on various aspects of academic writing such as essay structure, organization, thesis statements, introductions, conclusions, paragraphs, topic sentences, using sources, quotations, paraphrasing, revising, editing, punctuation, spelling, abstracts, and English language concepts.

Symbols of culture are called artifacts. Artifacts are the most visi.docxsimba35
Symbols of culture are called artifacts. Artifacts are the most visible and accessible level of culture. These include behaviors, stories, rituals (everyday practices that are repeated frequently), and symbols (e.g., company logos, company colors). For example, the president of a company volunteering at Habitat for Humanity is an artifact of culture. An example of symbols as an artifact of culture is Ashford University’s shield that serves as our logo and is printed on transcripts, diplomas and letterhead paper. Submit a two- to three-page paper (excluding the title and reference pages) describing the culture of either your current or past place of employment.
Your paper should provide examples of and address each of the following topics:
Observable artifacts
Espoused values (These are what organizational members say they value, like ethical practice.)
Enacted values (These are reflected in the way individuals actually behave.)
In addition, describe how each item listed above impacts the values and culture of the organization.
Your paper must use a minimum of two scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook. Your paper must also follow the APA Style guide.

Synthesis Assignment Instructions and RubricSynthesis Essay..docxsimba35
Synthesis Assignment Instructions and Rubric
Synthesis Essay.
A synthesis is a written discussion that draws on one or more sources. In an academic synthesis, you make explicit the relationships that you have inferred among separate sources, make judgments, draw conclusions and critique individual sources to determine the relationship among them. You should refer to supporting material and examples from class readings, discussions, and research, with proper citations. The essay should not be a summary of the readings but examination of their meanings in systems of belief and reason. You should analyze the claims of authors and their implications. You should also develop an argument, or thesis, based on the synthesis of class readings.
Making your own Myth-to be posted on your Tumblr blog
The purpose of this collaborative writing exercise is to create an origin myth story of your own imagination. Using the examples from the origin myths in the DBR 200 iBook-create your own origin myth! What was there before the beginning of time? Of space? What does the universe look like in your imagination? Is there a “Creator” in your story? Or multiple “entities” that act like creators or instigators or accidents of nature? What do these “beings” or entities look like? How do they act? Are you telling the story from the perspective of ancient, primitive imaginations? Or is this story a translation or recital of the “original story” told by the “creators” or “first beings or entities?” What about the origins of humankind? How will you describe those events? What sort of relationship do those creatures have with the world or universe?
Step One-Try to address some of the issues I’ve raised above in your group discussions. Begin to sketch in some of the details you might like to include as a kind of framework or outline to your story.
Step Two-Continue to try to collect images or sounds that might be included in a multimedia representation of the story. You should immediately consider the restrictions/limitations to the kind of media that you can post on Tumblr. That will affect your choice of materials and how they are presented.
Step Three-Create the First draft version of the myth and use it to expand/contract depending on how the group wants the version to be received or understood/listened or viewed by your readers. You might even post it up and ask for feedback from “followers” on your Tumblr blogs.
Step Four-Post your final version on Tumblr. Each student in the group should post the same/group’s version of the origin story. I will reblog the final versions to everyone. The final version should have a short section at the bottom of the work acknowledging sources, such as the origin myths included in the iBook, in the form of footnotes that detail how a particular figure from one of the origin myths inspired your version, etc.

The products in question use Microsoft SQL Server databases and IIS Web servers. She has asked you to provide a report for her review before she schedules the presentation.
Write a two to four (2-4) page paper in which you:
Analyze the common threats to data systems such as Web applications and data servers. Next, speculate on the greatest area of vulnerability and potential for damage and / or data loss of such data systems (e.g., SQL injection, Web-based password cracking).
Devise one (1) attack scenario where a hacker could use the area of vulnerability that you chose in Question 1 in order to gain access to a network or sensitive data. Examine the primary ways in which the hacker could execute such an attack, and suggest the strategic manner in which a security professional could prevent the attack.
Explore the primary role that the human element could play in adding to the attack scenario devised in Question 2. Give your opinion on whether or not the human component is critical in protection from that type of attack.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

1. M8D: Discussion
Instruction: please use APA style and in test citation,
Now that you are engaged in your final project and have
completed exceptional discussion throughout this semester, your
final task is to tackle a mixed methods study. A great many of
you noted in your critique that you would have chosen to move
forward with a mixed methods design. Here is your opportunity
to decide if you like how this researcher utilized the method,
how it was reported and the applicability of the findings. In
your initial post, please address the following questions:
· Does this method measure well what was intended?
· Is it reported in a way that the information is clear and usable?
· What would you do differently?
Rationale: While mixed methods studies are valuable, they are
more work than selecting a qualitative or quantitative approach
and, thus, are not undertaken as frequently. It is important to be
exposed to and critically evaluate this type of research. When it
is done well, it is very informative, but given the additional
coordination and analyses, there is more of a risk that it will be
underutilized or reported.

Historical Topic Analysis Assignment Instructions
Overview
The purpose of the Historical Topic Analysis Assignment is to
evaluate historical events, topics, and trends and their related
causes and effects, especially in the field of education. The
topic will also be addressed from a Biblical worldview
perspective integrating current course materials and peer-
reviewed journal articles. Candidates are encouraged to explore
from a historical perspective a topic they anticipate might relate
to their future capstone or dissertation project. Candidates
research and conduct the analysis. They demonstr ate knowledge
of educational ideas of the past, consider the relevance of the
topic, analyze the topic in light of their own educational beliefs,
and critically analyze related actions and beliefs.
Instructions
This paper is based on the topic, guiding question, and
preliminary thesis statement you submitted in previous
assignments and should be in APA format (see the APA Format
Quick Guide).
Length: This paper is to be at least 1,300 words in length from
the introductory paragraph to the conclusion. This does not
count the title page, abstract, or reference pages.
Citations and References: Cite at least five sources throughout
the paper and list them on the reference page. Of the five
sources, one of them is required to be the course textbook. You
may incorporate articles from your Annotated Bibliography
Assignment and other course assignments as appropriate. Other
sources may include course videos, academic journal articles,
books, and textbooks from other courses.
Structure: You have a great deal of latitude in how the paper is
structured, but it should follow a logical progression of thought
and the guidelines below. See the Historical Topic Analysis
Grading Rubric for required elements.
3. 1. Title Page
· Pagination: In APA, all pages are numbered. The title page
should be page 1.
· Title: The title should not be the name of the assignment (i.e.,
Historical Topic Analysis). It should be a phrase drawn from the
thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. It should provide
the reader a hint of the topic and the main idea supported
throughout the paper and may be phrased in a clever, unique
fashion. The first letter of all words should be capitalized
except for articles (e.g. a, an, the), conjunctions (e.g., and, but),
and short prepositions (e.g., of, about), unless they appear as
the first word, which is always capitalized. Center and boldface
your title and position it near the middle of the page or slightly
above the middle.
· Other Information on Title Page: All other information on the
title page should comply with current APA requirements.
2. Abstract: The heading of the abstract should be centered and
boldfaced.
· Place the abstract at the top of a page by itself after the title
page.
· Do not indent the first line.
· The abstract is a brief, comprehensive summary of the
contents of the paper. It should present the main ideas and main
conclusions/implications. Including the main ideas and
conclusions in the abstract is much more important than a
simple outline of the structure or headings.
3. Introduction: Do not use the word “Introduction” as a
heading for this section.
· The purpose of the introductory paragraph is different from
that of the abstract. Do not simply copy the abstract.
· In this section, introduce your thesis statement that will be
4. developed throughout the paper. It is the main idea you are
presenting. Save other supporting ideas for the body of the
manuscript. Do not overload the introductory paragraph with
too many concepts that distract from the key point of the thesis
statement.
· It is best to place the thesis statement at the end of the
introductory paragraph. It is typically one or two sentences that
serve as a transition into the rest of the paper. Some writers
choose to place it as the first sentence of the introduction.
Either option is acceptable as long as the introduction is well
written and has a logical progression of thought.
4. Summary and Context: Centered in bold with all major words
capitalized, enter the first Level 1 heading of your paper. (Level
2 headings are unnecessary for this short of a paper.) Use the
words “Summary and Context.”
· This brief section describes and/or summarizes the topic you
have chosen so the reader understands the setting in which the
topic developed. This is a succinct presentation of events or
circumstances that may have influenced the topic.
· Include transitions that build a logical progression from the
thesis statement in the introductory paragraph into the topic and
its historical context.
5. Critical Analysis: This Level 1 heading should be formatted
the same as the previous one. Use the words “Critical
Analysis.” This section should reflect various perspectives
about the topic, including a Biblical worldview lens.
6. Conclusion: Use the same Level 1 formatting as you have
done with your other headings above and enter the word
“Conclusion”is centered, bold font. Although your conclusion
should include concepts from the thesis statement in the
introduction and should have some alignment with the title of
the paper, you should not simply restate the thesis statement.
Wrap up the paper by emphasizing your main idea and draw a
clear conclusion. Typically, a good conclusion does not
introduce new information. The conclusion is where you are to
5. discuss implications about what you have already shared and
relate ideas to current educational issues.
7. References: Starting at the top of the next page after the end
of the manuscript, center in bold font the heading “References.”
· Double-space everything throughout your paper, including the
reference page. Do not insert additional extra lines/spaces.
· Using a hanging indent, which means that the first line of
every reference is left-justified with all other lines of the
reference indented.
· Follow the format below for books. Only initials are used for
the author’s first and middle names. See the APA manual for
examples of multiple authors, editors, etc.
Authorlastname, A. B. (2019). Book title in italics with only the
first word and proper nouns, like Christian, capitalized: If ther e
is a subtitle, the first word is capitalized. Publisher.
· Follow the format below for journalarticles. Both the journal
title and the volume number are italicized. There is no space
between the volume and issue numbers. (Sometimes, the source
provides no issue number. If that is the case, simply place a
comma after the italicized volume number.) Page numbers are
last without “p.” or “pg.” before them.
Authorlastname, A. B. (2019). Article title in regular font with
only the first word and proper nouns, like European,
capitalized: Subtitles may or may not be used. Journal Titles
Capitalize All Major Words Except for the Articles,
Conjunctions, and Short Prepositions, 15(2), 41-50.
· Regarding APA format for citing the Bible, see Religious
Work References on the APA website. The Bible should be in
addition to other required references.Miscellaneous Tips
First Person Pronouns: Per the APA manual, first-person
pronouns are permitted. However, they should rarely be used
and are intended only for conveying an incident about your life
story (e.g., “I was born into poverty”) or explaining the actions
6. you took as a researcher (e.g., “I conducted focus groups with
participants.”) A good writer makes strong declarative
statements in third-person plural (e.g., teachers, parents,
leaders, etc.) in terms of “ought”and “should” rather than
overusing redundant statements such as “I believe that,” “I
think that,” “to me,” “for me,” etc. Almost always, sentences
are strengthened by simply omitting references to self.
It is considered poor writing to refer to yourself in third-person
(e.g., “this author”). It also may confuse the reader because
there are typically multiple authors being discussed within a
manuscript.
Academic Integrity: This paper will be screened by plagiarism-
checking software, which reports to the professor the degree to
which your paper is similar to other works. The following tips
will help you avoid issues with plagiarism:
· Direct Quotes: No more than 10% of your paper should be
made up of direct quotes. Therefore, do more summarizing and
paraphrasing than quoting. Short quotes should be in quotation
marks and longer quotes of 40-words or more should be
indented. If you do not set off direct quotes in this manner
and/or do not cite them, it is plagiarism.
· Ideas and Facts: If the idea or fact is not your own, you must
cite its source. When not directly quoting, summarize, or
analyze the idea in your own words.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via an
online plagiarism tool.

Abstract
Do not indent the abstract. Per APA, this is a brief,
comprehensive summary of the contents of the manuscript. It
may range in length from 150 to 250 words in length.
Keywords: main words, primary, necessary, search terms
Insert the Same Title Here as Is on Your Title Page
Begin typing your introduction here. The purpose of the
introductory paragraph is to introduce your thesis statement.
Typically, the thesis statement is the last sentence of this one-
paragraph introduction and serves as a transition into the rest of
10. the paper. The thesis statement is the main idea of the paper—
the main point you are making.
Summary and Context
See assignment directions regarding what to enter here. Cite
your sources. If you mention an author’s name in the body of
the paragraph, which is not required, insert the publication year
after the first time you mention the author’s name in your
paragraph. If you do not incorporate an author’s name into your
paragraph, include it parenthetically prior to the publication
year as in this example: (Garcia, 2020).
Direct quotes should be rare and are not required. Generally,
they should make up 10% or less of any manuscript. Citations
are not just for direct quotes but are also for ideas—to indicate
to the reader where you found the idea. Here is one way to cite
a direct quote: Gutek (2018) was correct in his observation that
“Freire was a doer as well as a thinker” (p. 463). Note that there
is no period before the citation; it appears after it. Here is a
second way to cite a direct quote: As at least one historian has
noted, “Freire’s liberation pedagogy heavily influenced critical
theory” (Gutek, 2018, p. 463). Page or paragraph numbers are
required for all citations of direct quotes.
Each paragraph should have a clear topic sentence. All topic
sentences should support the thesis statement of the paper.
Paragraphs serve to support the topic sentence of the paragraph.
Ensure there is a logical progression in your writing and that
you use appropriate transitions from one idea to the next.
There should be no extra lines or spaces throughout the body of
the manuscript. Sometimes Microsoft Word automatically
inserts lines after headings, paragraphs, or sections. If you do
not know how to remove these, simply do an internet search of
your question: “How do I remove extra lines in Microsoft
Word?”
Critical Analysis
See assignment directions regarding what to enter in this
section. Notice that the headings are all Level 1 headings and
11. are all centered and bolded per APA format. In such a short
paper, you should not need Level 2 headings.
Here is one way to cite the Bible: John 3:16 states, “For God so
loved the world” (New International Version, 1978/2011). Here
is another way: The pastor opened the Bible and read, “For God
so loved the world” (New International Version, 1978/2011,
John 3:16). The translation is required only for the first direct
quote of Scripture in the manuscript. However, if the
subsequent Scripture quotes are from a different translation, the
translation must be included every time it switches in the
manuscript.
Conclusion
A good conclusion does not simply restate the thesis statement
from the introductory paragraph, but it most definitely reiterates
it by reminding the reader that the points that have already been
made sufficiently support what was hinted at in the title,
presented in the abstract, and introduced in the first paragraph.
New support for the thesis should not be introduced in the
conclusion. However, you may draw conclusions, identify
trends, and discuss implications for current issues.

Notice how the examples below have a hanging indention.
Everything in APA is to be double spaced, including the

The American civil war
Abstract
This paper aims at discussing the causes, effects, and aftermath
of the American civil war that took place between 1861 to 1865.
The American civil war began in 1854 when the US congress
enacted the Kansas-Nebraska policy that promoted all forms of
13. slavery. However, the opposing forces to the rule struggled
earnestly in a war called the “bleeding act” in their quest to end
this inhumane act. Additionally, there was another movement in
the north, the “republican party” which was a political
organization that created various policies to oppose the act of
extending the slavery policy into the western communities. In
1857, the Dred Scott Case, a Supreme Court ruling confirmed
that the slave trade was legal. However, in 1859, John Brow n,
one of the opposers convinced the southern communities that
the legalization of the slave trade was bound to destroy the
peace and harmony of their neighboring communities and that
they should stand against it. The war finally ended in April
1965 when the main antagonist, General Lee surrendered to the
opposition General Mr. Grant at the battle of Appomattox
house. The war ended and millions of black slave prisoners
were freed.
Summary of the American civil war
The practice of legalizing the slave trade was one of the turning
points of the United States during the 19th century (Foster,
2018). The US was thrown into a crisis when Abraham Lincoln
was elected as the US president in 1860 but on the condition of
an anti-slavery platform. However, the southern territories that
supported the slave trade withdrew from the main government
to form their organizations with different laws and regulations
supporting the slave trade. After Confederate forces seized
various cities they attempted to force the main government
headed by Abraham Lincoln to legalize the slave trade but they
failed with their mission (Hall, Huff and Kuriwaki, 2019). This
led to an outbreak of civil war in 1861 when the confederate
forces engaged in a “Battle of Fort Sumter” in California with
other territories that did not support or promote the slave trade.
This happened only one month after Lincoln’s inauguration as
the president of the United States. Allin (2019) notes that the
states/territories that remained loyal to the main government
were referred to as the “union.” However, the confederate states
continued with their agenda of promoting the slave trade and
14. they controlled at least 11 out of the 34 states (Hall, Huff and
Kuriwaki, 2019). During this period, there was a fierce battle
between especially in the Southern territories between the
confederate states and the Union states that supported the main
government.
During the war-torn period (1861-1862), Foster (2018) observes
that the union made important progress. In the Eastern
territories of the US, the union made sure that the war was
largely reduced to a great extent and was also inconclusive.
During the summer period of September 1862, the president
issued a directive called the “Emancipation proclamation.” The
main objective of this directive was to ensure that the slave
trade was brought to an abrupt end (Choperena, 2021). In the
western territories, the union forces destroyed the river navy
that belonged to the confederate forces and also seized the
territory of New Orleans. To ensure that the confederate forces
were largely neutralized, the union forces seized Vicksburg, one
of the main strongholds of the confederate army. This later split
the Confederate forces into two groups (Allin, 2019).
In 1863, the commander of the confederate army, Mr. Robert
Lee's invasion in the northern territory ended tragically at the
Battle of Gettysburg. The Union forces tightened their grip by
blocking all the ports of the confederate forces. Furthermore,
they assembled all the resources tools and equipment and
launched various attacks against the confederate army (Foster,
2018). The city of Atlanta was eventually captured by the Union
forces under the leadership and the command of General
William Sherman. The last civil battle involved the siege of
Petersburg. In the battle, the Union forces completely defeated
confederate forces and also seized the Rich diamond, another
stronghold of the confederate forces (Hall, Huff, and Kuriwaki,
2019). The war came to an end in the summer of April 1965
when General Lee, the commander of the confederate forces
surrendered to the Union forces under the command of General
Grant at the “battle of Appomattox House” after they had fled
from Rich Diamond and Petersburg. Other Confederate generals
15. also decided to bring the war to an end by surrendering to the
Union forces.
To mark the end of the war, the confederate union was
dismantled and collapsed, the slave trade was eventually banned
in the US and more than four million enslaved prisoners were
set free (Wyne, 2020). The process of rebuilding the war-torn
US began since much of its resources and infrastructure had
been destroyed. Furthermore, the slaves who were freed were
granted their civil rights that were also marked in the US
constitution.
The critical analysis
Some several pros and cons can be taken from this civil war.
First, Abraham Lincoln is seen to be a great leader when he was
elected on a non-slaver platform. As Wyne (2020) notes, leaders
should be elected on a free and fair platform to promote the
rights and interests of their citizens. Furthermore, Lincoln also
demonstrated strong leadership when he introduced the
“Emancipation proclamation.” This was a law that was meant to
abolish all forms of the slave trade and fight for the rights and
interests of the black slaves (Wayne, 2020). When the president
introduced the law, the Union forces tightened their fight
towards the confederate forces. They eventually achieved their
goal by restoring law and order in the US.
However, the leaders of the Confederate armies such as General
Lee are seen as leaders who are incompetent and greedy. This is
because they decided to go against the will of the people of the
US. The citizens had elected Abraham Lincoln (Allin, 2019) on
one condition of promoting anti-slavery and giving the black
communities their civil rights. However, the confederate leaders
tried to overturn the policies and the will of people by
forcefully promoting the slave trade in the US. However, their
attempts eventually failed.
The Union forces demonstrated a high level of loyalty and
resilience (Choperena, 2021). Despite the emergence of the
confederate unions and armies, they decided to stand with the
government and the wishes of the general public. Furthermore,
16. they also demonstrated a high level of bravery by neutralizing
all forms of attacks and threats from the enemy forces and
restoring justice in the country.
Lastly, despite the high number of casualties and the destruction
of resources, democracy is restored in the US as the black
slaves were eventually given their civil rights and also protected
by the rule of law. Despite all the suffering and all kinds of
torture, they were incorporated back into society like other
normal citizens.
Conclusion
The American civil war is among the deadliest civil w ars that
any country has experienced. It claimed the lives of more than
750,000 soldiers and a large number of civilian casualties.
However, this war is also an indication that democracy prevails
above all the barriers. Despite the challenges and the loss of
infrastructure, peace and harmony were restored and the slaves
were also given their freedom and civil rights.
