Text Analysis – Current Educational Philosophy Issue Your Text a.docx

mehek4

Text Analysis – Current Educational Philosophy Issue Your Text analysis assignment is an analysis of a current philosophy of education issue. The selected text must have been constructed within the past year. The assignment requires that you make links between your chosen text, concepts, videos, and readings from the course. The purpose of the exercise is to help you to critically examine the way how text inscribe meanings that influence how we conduct education in this country. You may do this paper with a partner. GUIDELINES All papers must be typed and should be between 3 to 5 pages long. Use the handout on Text Analysis while working to make sure all criteria are met. If you work with a partner, only one paper is required. The grade the paper achieves will be assigned to both students. The format for the paper should be analytic, interpretive, and normative – do not mix up the order of the three perspectives. These perspectives must be clearly delineated in your paper in order to ensure full credit. It is essential that you remember that this is an analysis and not a report. As such, your goal is to analyze the text not “re-describe” it. Remember! This is not a book report or a “text” description. Restrict your analysis to a few themes of the text (preferably the main theme), focus on how the argument was constructed and how the text informs education in contemporary society. Utilize course concepts, videos, written texts, quotes, paraphrases, readings, discussion, etc. to help ground your ideas. Failure to do so will result in a weak, one-sided paper. If you work with a partner, note where you disagree (on what and why). Not everyone shares the same position. Refer to the "Worksheet on Reading Texts" handout below for explicit questions to guide you in the text analysis. Worksheet For Reading Text To really “read” a text, as opposed to just decoding it, requires the reader to construct meaning from the text. To help you in this process, you should attempt to answer at least the following questions for each text? ANALYTIC READING 1. What is the major argument (conclusions) presented in the text? a. What is the author/speaker trying to convince you? 2. What is the evidence presented to support that claim (Premise)? 3. Is the argument implicit or explicit? 4. Is it an empirical (facts, statistics, etc.), analytical (concepts and definitions) or normative (making a moral claim) argument? 5. What type of reasoning does the author employ (inductive or deductive)? 6. How is the argument presented, i.e. what rhetorical devices are used to make the argument (narrative, metaphors, visual imagery, imagery, ideographs, euphemisms, rhetorical questions, labels, etc.)? 7. Are you able to detect any fallacies in the argument? INTERPRETIVE READING 1. When was the text made? 2. What was going on around that time that might have influenced the writing of this text or the way audiences interpreted it? 3. What might those who r ...

COMS 360 Litke – Topic Exploration Assignment 1 Topic Exploration Assignment 1 requires you to select a topic related to EITHER chapter 3 (women’s rhetorical movements) OR chapter 4 (men’s rhetorical movements) and to explore that topic in greater detail. You will begin your exploration by reviewing the related material in chapter 3 or chapter 4 and then will conduct additional exploration of your topic. You will need to narrow your topic to meet the requirements of the assignment. Keep in mind that papers must be specifically focused on gender. This assignment serves to strengthen skills in information competence relative to research and support of ideas. Consequently, you are required to conduct additional research on your topic. Topic Exploration 1 must include a minimum of three current, scholarly academic sources. For Topic Exploration 1, the textbook can be included as one of the three minimum required sources but should not be the only source or the primary source of supporting material for your exploration of your selected topic. For most papers/topics, “current” would typically mean roughly the last ten years, however, some topics might warrant older sources. The assignment requires that you locate scholarly or academic sources which will be the general expectation. However, some topics might be so current that the only available sources might not be found in scholarly/journal type sources. So, the requirement for current, scholarly, academic sources could vary given topics selected. All papers require credible sources. Make sure that you have a minimum of three references; that is a requirement of the assignment. Requirements and Evaluation: Once you have a topic related to chapter 3 (women’s rhetorical movements) or chapter 4 (men’s rhetorical movements, you will need to conduct additional research on your topic. You will summarize what you have learned in a two (full) page minimum, (and three page, maximum), typed, double spaced 12-point font, Times New Roman paper, standard 1” margins on all sides (unjustified). Sources must be cited in text and in a reference list in APA format (see the next page for some guidelines on APA format). Provide ONLY your name in the upper right corner of your paper. Skip a line, and begin your essay. Do not include a title, headings, running head, or any other identifying information. This will allow you maximum space to convey your material. Do not plagiarize ANY PART of your paper. All papers must be well written, clearly supported, and thoroughly proofread. Papers will be evaluated on content, quality and depth of research, clarity, organization, citation, style, and format. If you have questions, please email me. Length: Expected length is two full pages minimum (three pages, maximum) Worth: up to 20% of course grade Due Date: no later than Wednesday, 10/5/22, at the beginning of class [See the information on the ...

This assignment requires students to further research one of the top.docx

This assignment requires students to further research one of the topics covered during the semester and write an essay arguing a particular interpretation of the literature surrounding that issue and social movement. Please see the attached document for details and guidelines on this assignment. American Protest Literature - Literary Analysis Argument Essay Assignment Description Whether it looks backward in order to move America forward, builds connections across movements, demands empathy from readers, transforms its creators, crafts a politics of form, appropriates the master’s tools, or makes words into weapons, American protest literature tries to remake “a world beautiful,” as London puts it. The protest cycle beats on, boats against the current. – Zoe Trodd xxviii Trodd’s anthology American Protest Literature sets a variety of texts and protest art forms in conversation with each other. She describes these as falling into several “politics” for change. These are: The Politics of Connection The Politics of Form The Politics of Appropriation The Politics of Memory For this project, you will write a four-to-five-page essay that analyzes and interprets four works and finds a unifying theme among them. You may use writings from the textbook itself (whether they were among the selected course readings or not) or you may explore other outside texts provided they are published sources that were written or created as a part of the social movements studied in the course. You will need at least five total sources of outside research for your essay documented in your Works Cited page. You may do this assignment one of two ways: You may choose a social movement and describe how each of the four works you select contributes to the movement using the “politics” Zoe Trodd explains in her introduction to the text. How does each depict aspects of the movement and what strategies, tactics, or techniques does it use to influence the movement for change? Analyze and interpret each work using key quotes, paraphrases, and summaries as you compare it to the other works and how each contributes to the literature of protest within that movement. Choose at least four pieces of protest literature from the entire range of movements in the course, or you may introduce texts you have researched that also contributed to these historical social movements. Find a unifying “politic” or strategy (for example: politics of memory or form) for all of them and discuss how that strategy or tactic uniquely contributed to the individual movements for which they were created. How does their unifying technique contribute to the body of protest literature that brought social change? Analyze and interpret each work using key quotes, paraphrases, and summaries as you compare it to the other works and how each contributes to the literature of protest within that movement. Your work is to interpret the works to find unifying themes or tactics among them an.

Munich Personal RePEc Archive Should a Government Fiscally Intervene in a Recession and, If So, How? Harashima, Taiji Kanazawa Seiryo University 2 April 2017 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/78053/ MPRA Paper No. 78053, posted 31 Mar 2017 09:03 UTC Should a Government Fiscally Intervene in a Recession and, If So, How? Taiji HARASHIMA* April, 2017 Abstract The validity of discretionary fiscal policy in a recession will differ according to the cause and mechanism of recession. In this paper, discretionary fiscal policy in a recession caused by a fundamental shock that changes the steady state downwards is examined. In such a recession, households need to discontinuously increase consumption to a point on the saddle path to maintain Pareto efficiency. However, they will not “jump” consumption in this manner and instead will choose a “Nash equilibrium of a Pareto inefficient path” because they dislike unsmooth and discontinuous consumption and behave strategically. The paper concludes that increasing government consumption until demand meets the present level of production and maintaining this fiscal policy for a long period is the best option. Consequent government debts can be sustainable even if they become extremely large. JEL Classification code: E20, E32, E62, H20, H30, H63 Keywords: Discretionary Fiscal policy; Recession; Government consumption; Government debts; Pareto inefficiency; Time preference *Correspondence: Taiji HARASHIMA, Kanazawa Seiryo University, 10-1 Goshomachi-Ushi, Kanazawa-shi, Ishikawa, 920-8620, Japan. Email: [email protected] or [email protected] mailto:[email protected] mailto:[email protected] 1 1 INTRODUCTION Discretionary fiscal policy has been studied from many perspectives since the era of Keynes (e.g., Keynes, 1936; Kopcke et al., 2006; Chari et al., 2009; Farmer, 2009; Alesina, 2012; Benhabib et al., 2014). An important issue is whether a government should intervene fiscally in a recession, and if so, how. The answer will differ according to the cause and mechanism of recession. Particularly, it will be different depending on whether “disequilibrium” is generated. The concept of disequilibrium is, however, controversial and therefore arguments continue even now about the use of discretionary fiscal policy in a recession. In this paper, the concept of disequilibrium is not used, but instead the concept of a “Nash equilibrium of a Pareto inefficient path” is used. Recessions are generated by various shocks (e.g., Rebelo, 2005; Blanchard, 2009; Ireland, 2011; Schmitt-Grohé and Uribe, 2012; McGrattan and Prescott, 2014; Hall, 2016). Some fundamental shocks will change the steady state, and if the steady state is changed downwards (i.e., to lower levels of production and consumption), households must change the consumption path to one that d.
