Impact of Faith in Founding America Comment by
Abdirahim AMA Law Group:
During the founding of America, faith played a very significant
role for the founding fathers. Take, for instance, Jefferson, who
was a Christian and desired to follow Christianity to the core.
As a Christian, he believed in doing what was right for
humankind. He believed that everyone is obliged to do what is
right to other human beings.[footnoteRef:1] However, like
Jefferson, he never thought black Americans could have equal
rights to Native Americans. [1: Hall, Mark David. "America's
Founders, Religious Liberty, and the Common Good." U. St.
Thomas LJ 15 (2018): 642.]
However, because he was a black man, he was able to overcome
this perception. He advocated for others who had ideas like his
to disregard them. He advocated for the respect of all humanit y
irrespective of their religion and ethnicity. This means that
Native Americans had to treat even the black people with
equality as native America. This was the impact of faith in the
founding of America. Jefferson believed that if everyone took at
as their initiative to do well to others and do only what is right
would have been a good beginning for America as a nation.

Jefferson also owned a copy of the Quran when America was
being founded. He said that Muslims had equal rights to run for
public office just like Christians.[footnoteRef:2] Even though
he said that he could not advocate America to be left under the
control of a Muslim president, they had equal rights just like a
person of any religion. This move by Jefferson impacted the
founding of America and leadership. For instance, there is a
religious qualification used in America today for someone to
run for the presidency. This shows that everyone and anyone
can run for the presidency. Their religion will not limit them
because all of them are treated with the same regard. This is
America of choice for anyone and everyone that does not
discriminate aspirants of political positions based on their
religions. [2: Dana, Karam, Bryan Wilcox-Archuleta, and Matt
Barreto. "The political incorporation of Muslims in the United
States: The mobilizing role of religiosity in Islam." Journal of
Race, Ethnicity, and Politics 2, no. 2 (2017): 170-200.]
Features of America’s Foreign Policies
Over time, America has evolved along with different foreign
policies. The way America practices foreign policies shows that
the country is civilized enough even in its exercise of foreign
policies. Different features can be identified from how America
practices its foreign policies as follows:
Diplomacy is one of these features of American foreign
policies.[footnoteRef:3] America advocates its government as a
peaceful government with other jurisdictions. To ensure that
this is achieved, America used State Department to oversee all
the relationships between America and other jurisdictions. This
is necessary because it promotes America's image as a peaceful
nation that advocates for the peaceful coexist of human beings
across the globe. Comment by Abdirahim AMA Law Group:
Elements of the American national style? See Hastedt, Chapter
3. [3: Adesina, Olubukola S. "Foreign policy in an era of
digital diplomacy." African Journal for the Psychological
Studies of Social Issues 19, no. 3 (2016): 169-189.
]
The second feature of US foreign policies is agreements on
regional security.[footnoteRef:4] This is a feature used to
represent America as a nation determined to see United Nations
coexist with each other without any crisis. This feature implies
that America collaborates with necessary institutions to make
life and livelihood safe in United Nations that cannot settle
differences among themselves. It is a feature that shows the
readiness of America to collaborate with a peace-making
institution in its exercise of foreign policies. [4: Rifawan,
Affabile, and Novi Amelia. "Two major powers in captivating
regional influence and dynamics: Comparing foreign policies of
China and United States in Southeast Asia." Contemporary
Chinese Political Economy and Strategic Relations: An
International Journal 4, no. 1 (2018): 247-272.]
The third feature of America's foreign policies is the
international monetary structure. America promotes the
development of economic institutions that bring on bond every
economy from the world. It advocates for the use of IMF as an
infrastructure to realize this policy. Here, America argues that
policies of other nations should be designed in a way that
allows for international trade between local jurisdictions and
foreign markets.
America observed this feature in several ways, one by accepting
exports from different jurisdictions. On the other hand,
American multinational corporations also import in other parts
of the world, thus enhancing an environment to promote
international monetary structure.[footnoteRef:5] [5:
Gourinchas, Pierre-Olivier, Hélène Rey, and Maxime Sauzet.
"The international monetary and financial system." Annual
Review of Economics 11 (2019): 859-893.
]
Economic aid is another popular feature of America's foreign
policies.[footnoteRef:6] Since World War II, America has been
on the lead to aid different jurisdictions and economies. This
has been meant to help those who were adversely affected by
World War II recover. This feature has been seen, for instance,
during this time of the Covid-19 pandemic. America has been at
the forefront to donate vaccines to developing nations. This has
been to attain a global vaccination level to the extent of
defeating the virus. America also issues other aids, such as
education, food, nutrition, sports, pharmaceutical aids, and
other forms of aids to developing nations. [6: O'Leary,
Michael Kent. The politics of American foreign aid. Routledge,
2017.]
America’s Policy Makers Learning from America’s Founding
Fathers
In my opinion, American foreign policies have largely helped
policymakers learn from the past. There is a lot to illustrate
from modern policies that were ideally lifted, and these are
lessons from the founding fathers of America. One reason
America has been able to learn from the past policies is its
internal protection. America has been able to rise to a level
where it has protected itself significantly as a country. Even
though there are internal security issues reported, America has
guarded itself against terror attacks.
America has also been able to protect its people from HIV/Aids.
Even though there are some cases of HIV, the number of those
who are infected has gone down. America has been educating its
people expansively on protecting themselves from contracting
HIV, among other deadly viruses. America has also been able to
protect its population against mass destruction. There has been
no mass destruction by security threats or even pandemics. As a
country, America has protected its territory sufficiently.
America has also learned how to promote mutual understanding.
America has earned how to advocate for common interests
among its people. These common interests enable people to
assume their religious differences, ethnic differences and
coexist as one. Thus, these common interest advocated by the
American government brings cohesion and solidarity among
Americans.[footnoteRef:7] The US also uses its governmental
institution to travel abroad and engage with a foreign audience.
This brings understanding between the United States and
foreign nations. The overall result for this is running for one
dream of togetherness and cohesion between America and its
foreign jurisdictions. [7: Todd, Molly. "The Paradox of Trans -
American Solidarity: Gender, Race, and Representation in the
Guatemalan Refugee Camps of Mexico, 1980–1990." Journal of
Cold War Studies 19, no. 4 (2017): 74-112.]
America has also learned from its founding policies to advance
global interests. There are many ways that American policies
advanced global interests and human rights are one of them.
America has been advocating for a democracy that respects and
gives necessary regard to human rights. For instance, there are
many contexts of democracy that America advances. This
includes but is not limited to multilateral and bilateral
diplomacy, foreign assistance, economic sanctions, public
outreaches, among others.
Since America was founded, policymakers have learned how to
use democracy to achieve security and prosperity, and stability
of the entire world.[footnoteRef:8] America's policymakers
have also learned how to advocate against regimes that deny
their citizens from electing leaders that they wish to hold
offices. Policymakers in America have also learned how to lend
a helping hand to new jurisdictions on how to achieve
democracy in their own countries. Policymakers in America
have also learned how to take government in foreign
jurisdictions responsible for human rights.[footnoteRef:9] This
is a way of ensuring that each government takes it as its
initiative to protect its people. Policymakers in America have
been at the forefront to protect observance of the rule of law.
This is also something that was learned from the founding
father and ancient policymakers. [8: Dunlop, Claire A.,
Claudio M. Radaelli, and Philipp Trein. "Introduction: The
family tree of policy learning." In Learning in public policy, pp.
1-25. Palgrave Macmillan, Cham, 2018.] [9: Sikkink, Kathryn.
"6. The Power of Principled Ideas: Human Rights Policies in the
United States and Western Europe." In Ideas and foreign policy,
pp. 139-170. Cornell University Press, 2019.]
America's policies makers have also learned how to advocate
for other jurisdictions to understand America's policies. This is
manifested in many ways example, by welcoming foreign
citizens. America uses the Visa program to welcome home
people from other nations. America partners with health
ministries in other jurisdictions to eradicate severe death
suffered by people with chronic diseases and infections.
America is also at the forefront to advocate for green energy
and the protection of the environment.
Compatibility of America’s Approach to Foreign Policies to
Christin World Views Comment by Abdirahim AMA Law
Group: Down to the next page
In my opinion, the way America approaches foreign policies is
not compatible with the Christian worldview for several
reasons. One, it is not compatible from a world order point of
view.
According to ‘a Christians declaration’ released in 2016,
America has tried its best to advocate for morality (Providence,
2016). A Christian Declaration on American Foreign Policy,
retrieved from https://providencemag.com/2016/09/christian-
declaration-american-foreign-policy/. However, the CVW feels
that America has been focusing on single issues, the morality of
human rights has been upheld in America as per the Christian
world views. America has not protected different cultural
institutions sufficiently as per the CWV. Take, for instance,
liberal politics in America. Politics are manifested by greed and
corruption and the promotion of unacceptable moral degradation
concepts, for instance, LGBTQ.
Policies in America are also not compatible with CVW in terms
of respect for human rights. There are many instances where
racial minority groups have suffered, yet policymakers have
never addressed this sufficiently. The law is eve applied ore
ruthlessly to these racial minorities. Therefore, policymakers in
America have much remaining for them to address. The
government has also not lived to the reputation of the concept
of government as viewed by the church. Since government and
policymakers are ordained from God, they should not promote
any sin. However, policymakers have approved policies that
support sins.

POLICY MAKING IN AMERICA
Comment by Adam: Hi, Abdirahim, and welcome to the
Online Writing Center (OWC).
I cannot edit the paper for you, but I will make some helpful
suggestions and point out opportunities for improvement. I
cannot point out every instance of every issue, so please take
those I do point out and use them as examples of kinds of things
you can look for during your revising and editing.
When you see the words “Apply throughout,” this indicates that
I will no longer explicitly comment on similar errors. You will
need to locate and change other instances of like errors
throughout the remainder of your paper.
Be sure to review the Turabian formatting requirements
before submitting your paper for final grading. Compare your
paper against both the template from your professor and the
Liberty requirements for formatting. There is a great online
resource for the basics of Turabian formatting
at https://www.liberty.edu/academics/casas/academicsuccess/ind
ex.cfm?PID=11954.
I hope these comments help!
If you have any specific questions that I did not address here,
feel free to email the OWC at [email protected] or schedule a
live appointment
at https://www.liberty.edu/online/casas/writing-center/ Also,
please be sure to complete the Student Satisfaction
Survey located at the bottom of your completed request.
Thanks for using the OWC,
Adam S.
Disclaimer: Remember that the OWC is not an editing service.
Our comments and suggestions are not exhaustive. Our
service is designed to help you recognize and correct your
writing so that you can become a better writer. Except where
otherwise noted, formatting suggestions follow the latest (9th)
edition of A Manual for Writers by Kate L. Turabian.

Name of Instructor: Comment by Adam: Liberty uses a standard
Turabian title page.
You can find one ready to combine with your text in the
Turabian Template
Essentially, the elements in the title page are double spaced and
there are some extra carriage returns (i.e. you hit [ENTER] to
spaced things out). All of the title page elements should be
centered.
A few pointers on making a title page. It is easiest just to leave
the title page in normal style. Many students are tempted to use
Word’s heading styles on the title page but that is just extra
work and messes up the spacing.
If in doubt, almost everything in Turabian is Times New Roman
12 point black. The style manual is relaxing that, but Liberty
retains the preference.
The foot notes will be in Times New Roman 10 point black.

was a Christian and desired to follow Christianity to the core.
As a Christian, he believed in doing what was right for
humankind. He believed that everyone is obliged to do what is
right to other human beings[endnoteRef:2]. However, like
Jefferson, he never thought black Americans could have equal
rights to Native Americans. Comment by Adam: This is
fine…but….leading with the most important idea woud be more
powerful.
For example:
Instead of,
During Thanksgiving our family gathers for a meal.
You could say
Our family gathers for a Thanksgiving meal.
The emphasis is then placed in the gathering.

APPLY THROUGHOUT Comment by Adam: Footnotes for
journal articles must follow Turabian format. In general,
it is: Author’s First and Last Names, “Title of Article,” Title
of Journal Volume Number, issue no. (date of publication): page
number(s) (Turabian 17.2). For example:
1 John Maynard Smith, “The Origin of Altruism,” Nature 393,
no. 1 (1998): 639–40.
See the OWC Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help.
Notice that footnotes being with the same .5 inch indent that
paragraphs use. WORD calls this a “First Line” indent.
Comment by Adam: A footnote belongs at the bottom of
the page on which it is referenced (Turabian 16.3.4). Turabian
formatting requires footnotes to be normal style and a
standard black Times New Roman font size 10 throughout. They
are to be numbered consecutively by a superscript Arabic
numeral and single-spaced with an extra line between
footnotes. They are to be left justified with the first line is
indented 0.5”. The authors’ names are given in conventional
order, first name first. Use of the abbreviations p. or pp. for
page or pages is not needed. See the OWC Turabian Format
Quick Guide for more help.
Comment by Adam: The footnote generally follows the
terminal punctuation of the sentence containing the cited
information, unless a specific word, phrase, or quotation is cited
mid-sentence. In that case the footnote is cited following any
applicable punctuation (Turabian 25.2.1.1). See the OWC
Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help.
APPLY THROUGHOUT Comment by Adam: Jefferson was the
subject. It sounds as if Jefferson is like Jefferson.
Should there be another person identified in this paragraph? [2:
Hall, Mark David. "America's Founders, Religious Liberty, and
the Common Good." U. St. Thomas LJ 15 (2018): 642.]
However, because he was a black man, he was able to overcome
this perception. He advocated for others who had ideas like his
to disregard them. He advocated for the respect of all humanity
irrespective of their religion and ethnicity. This means that
Native Americans had to treat even the black people with
equality as native America. This was the impact of faith in the
founding of America. Jefferson believed that if everyone took at
as their initiative to do well to others and do only what is right
would have been a good beginning for America as a nation.
Comment by Adam: A pronoun - a word such
as she, yourself, her, it, this, who, or which - should clearly
refer to the word or words it replaces (called the antecedent)
elsewhere in the sentence or in a previous sentence. If more
than one word could be the antecedent or if no specific
antecedent is present in the sentence, edit to make the meaning
clear.
Does this refer to the missing character from the first
paragraph?
Comment by Adam: Na·tive A·mer·i·can
/ˈnādiv əˈmerəkən/
Learn to pronounce
noun
plural noun: Native Americans
a member of any of the indigenous peoples of North, Central,
and South America, especially those indigenous to what is now
the continental US.
Be intentional with this term.
Native Americans refers to the pre-colonial indigenous tribes. I
am flagging this because the American founding fathers were
not Native Americans by this definition. The term refers to a
specific ethnic group which is another minority.
Jefferson also owned a copy of the Quran when America was
being founded. He said that Muslims had equal rights to run for
public office just like Christians. Even though he said that he
could not advocate America to be left under the control of a
Muslim president, they had equal rights just like a person of any
religion. This move by Jefferson impacted the founding of
America and leadership. For instance, there is a religious
qualification used in America today for someone to run for the
presidency. This shows that everyone and anyone can run for
the presidency. Their religion will not limit them because all of
them are treated with the same regard. This is America of
choice for anyone and everyone that does not discriminate
aspirants of political positions based on their religions.
Comment by Adam: Should this have been negated?
Comment by Adam: Again, clarify antecedents
Them could point to the people or the religions in this sentence.

Features of America’s Foreign Policies
Over time, America has evolved along with different foreign
policies. The way America practices foreign policies shows that
the country is civilized enough even in its exercise of foreign
policies. Different features can be identified from how America
practices its foreign policies as follows:
Diplomacy is one of these features of American foreign
policies[endnoteRef:3]. America advocates its government as a
peaceful government with other jurisdictions. To ensure that
this is achieved, America used State Department to oversee all
the relationships between America and other jurisdictions. This
is necessary because it promotes America's image as a peaceful
nation that advocates for the peaceful coexist of human beings
across the globe. Comment by Adam: Avoid using a phrase
or a clause where a single word can express the same idea. For
example, instead of “George considered who the murderer was
and why he did it,” the correct alternative would be “George
considered the murderer’s identity and motive.” Please see the
helpful resource on the OWC website
at: https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success-center/wp-
content/uploads/sites/28/2019/04/Wordiness.pdf.
Comment by Adam: Avoid repeating words or phrases to
express the same thoughts or ideas, especially within a sentence
or in consecutive sentences. Repeated words are monotonous
and imply a lack of understanding of the topic at hand. For
example, instead of “Different aspects of a thesis
require different expressions, that is, a different word
reflecting a different perspective on your paper's theme as it
relates to different circumstances.” Consider, “Different aspects
of a thesis require their own expressions, that is, a certain word
chosen to reflect each individual perspective on the theme as it
relates to particular circumstances.” See this helpful resource
for more information: https://writingcenter.unc.edu/tips-and-
tools/word-choice/
APPLY THROUGHOUT Comment by Adam: A definite article
is used to indicate a specific or particular noun. For example,
instead of "Mary went over to car and got in," or, "Mary went
over to a car and got in," the correct alternative would be "Mary
went over to the car and got in." This indicates Mary got into a
specific car. There is an excellent presentation on articles on
the OWC website

APPLY THROUGHOUT [3: Adesina, Olubukola S. "Foreign
policy in an era of digital diplomacy." Cogent Social
Sciences 3, no. 1 (2017): 1297175.]
The second feature of US foreign policies is agreements on
regional security. This is a feature used to represent America as
a nation determined to see United Nations coexist with each
other without any crisis. This feature implies that America
collaborates with necessary institutions to make life and
livelihood safe in United Nations that cannot settle differences
among themselves. It is a feature that shows the readiness of
America to collaborate with a peace-making institution in its
exercise of foreign policies. Comment by Adam: Again, this
is a term with a specific meaning.
There is the organization
The United Nations (UN)
I think you would be fine using this specifically “the United
Nations” (both capitalized and with a definite article)
Or generally, as united nations
But the capitalization and article need to point the reader in the
same direction.
The third feature of America's foreign policies is the
international monetary structure. America promotes the
development of economic institutions that bring on bond every
economy from the world. It advocates for the use of IMF as an
infrastructure to realize this policy. Here, America argues that
policies of other nations should be designed in a way that
allows for international trade between local jurisdictions and
foreign markets. Comment by Adam: Clarify here
Might be a wrong word (bring of board, maybe)
Or wordiness….if you simply mean that the policies bond
economies….as in link them.
The meanings are close enough I can not differentiate by
context…but again, they are not identical.
2 Adesina, Olubukola S. "Foreign policy in an era of digital
diplomacy." Cogent Social Sciences 3, no. 1 (2017): 1297175.
America observed this feature in several ways, one by accepting
exports from different jurisdictions. On the other hand,
American multinational corporations also import in other parts
of the world, thus enhancing an environment to promote
international monetary structure[endnoteRef:4]. Comment by
Adam: Wrong word errors can involve mixing up words that
sound alike, using a word with the wrong shade of meaning, or
using a word with a completely wrong meaning. Many wrong-
word errors are due to the improper use of homonyms - words
that are pronounced alike but spelled differently, such
as their and there.
For example, “Paradise Lost contains many illusions to classical
mythology.” Illusion means "false ideas or appearances,"
and allusion means "references." Instead use, “Paradise
Lost contains many allusions to classical mythology.”
For example, “Working at a computer all day often means
being sedate for long periods of time.” Sedate means
"composed, dignified," and sedentary means "requiring much
sitting." Instead use, “Working at a computer all day often
means being sedentary for long periods of time.”

misused words from the writing center.

Sauzet. "The international monetary and financial
system." Annual Review of Economics 11 (2019): 859-893.]
Economic aid is another popular feature of America's foreign
policies[endnoteRef:5]. Since World War II, America has been
on the lead to aid different jurisdictions and economies. This
has been meant to help those who were adversely affected by
World War II recover. This feature has been seen, for instance,
during this time of the Covid-19 pandemic. America has been at
the forefront to donate vaccines to developing nations. This has
been to attain a global vaccination level to the extent of
defeating the virus. America also issues other aids, such as
education, food, nutrition, sports, pharmaceutical aids, and
other forms of aids to developing nations. Comment by
Adam: Footnotes for books must follow Turabian format. In
general, it is: Author’s First and Last Names, Title of Book:
Subtitle of Book (Publisher’s City, Publisher’s State [unless
city is well-known]: Publisher’s Name, Date of Publication),
page number(s) (Turabian 17.1.1). For example:
1 Alexander Roberts, James Donaldson and A.
Cleveland Coxe, The Ante-Nicene Fathers: Translations of the
Writings of the Fathers Down to A.D. 325 (Oak Harbor, WA:
Logos Research Systems, 1997), 182.
See the OWC Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help.
Comment by Adam: Many words in English are regularly
used with a particular preposition to express a particular
meaning. Throwing a ball to someone is different from throwing
a ball at someone. Because many prepositions are short and not
stressed or pronounced clearly in speech, they are often
accidentally left out or mixed up in writing. Check out the
writing resources on the OWC website.

aid. Routledge, 2017.]
America’s Policy Makers Learning from America’s Founding
Fathers
In my opinion, American foreign policies have largely helped
policymakers learn from the past. There is a lot to illustrate
from modern policies that were ideally lifted, and these are
lessons from the founding fathers of America. One reason
America has been able to learn from the past policies is its
internal protection. America has been able to rise to a level
where it has protected itself significantly as a country. Even
though there are internal security issues reported, America has
guarded itself against terror attacks. Comment by Adam: Be
carefull not to over-qualift your statements.
It is your paper.
That being said, be careful not to overstate your expertise.
There is an area between apologizing and hubris that makes a
good tone for a paper.
See GrammarBook.com for more information.
Comment by Adam: This phrase is not clear.
I will preappoligize, worried this comes across wrong
But it sounds like a bad translation.
I can vaguely see the idea being expressed but the word choices
are not optimal. Comment by Adam: Writers must remember
that adjectives are relative to a reader’s experiences. Describing
a character as tall without specifying a height allows every
reader to imagine a different measurement. Some writers prefer
to allow audiences a lot of freedom, but doing so can be
dangerous.
amazing / wonderful / etc. - Avoid overstating how special a
person, thing, or event is. Romance novels, in particular,
overuse these words.
big / small, short / tall - Remember each reader has a unique
perspective from which he or she views other people. Give
precise descriptions of characters when possible.
all / every - “All” and “every” imply absolute quantities.
perfect - Nothing real is perfect. However, one makes
exceptions for perfect scores, perfect angles, and the perfect
tense of verbs.
See GrammarBook.com for more information.
Security is also relative to the reader’s experience

America has also been able to protect its people from HIV/Aids.
Even though there are some cases of HIV, the number of those
who are infected has gone down. America has been educating its
people expansively on protecting themselves from contracting
HIV, among other deadly viruses. America has also been able to
protect its population against mass destruction. There has been
no mass destruction by security threats or even pandemics. As a
country, America has protected its territory sufficiently.
Comment by Adam: Good presentation of your argument in
this paragraph.
Good work including context ,
America has also learned how to promote mutual understanding.
America has earned how to advocate for common interests
among its people. These common interests enable people to
assume their religious differences, ethnic differences and
coexist as one. Thus, these common interest advocated by the
American government brings cohesion and solidarity among
Americans. The US also uses its governmental institution to
travel abroad and engage with a foreign audience. This brings
understanding between the United States and foreign nations.
The overall result for this is running for one dream of
togetherness and cohesion between America and its foreign
jurisdictions. Comment by Adam: Wrong word
Comment by Adam: You can group adjectives with a
conjunction
The bright and shiney car.
ALTERNATIVELY
A comma is used between coordinate adjectives. To determine if
a comma is appropriate, substitute the word and for the
comma. If the and makes sense, then a comma is needed. For
example, “Jim had a short happy life.” Try “Jim has a
short and happy life.” Since that makes sense, use a
comma: “Jim had a short, happy life.” There is an excellent
presentation on comma usage on the OWC’s
website: https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success-
center/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/2019/04/Commas.pdf
Comment by Adam: Words that modify nouns must agree
in number with the noun they modify. For example, instead of
“these picture,” the correct alternative would be “this picture”
or “these pictures.” See GrammarBook.com for more
information.
Comment by Adam: William Strunk, in his Elements
of Style, offered this thought on efficiency and conciseness in
writing:
Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no
unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for
the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary
lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that
the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all
detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word
tell.

concisely: https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success-

America has also learned from its founding policies to advance
global interests. There are many ways that American policies
advanced global interests and human rights are one of them.
America has been advocating for a democracy that respects and
gives necessary regard to human rights. For instance, there are
many contexts of democracy that America advances. This
includes but is not limited to multilateral and bilateral
diplomacy, foreign assistance, economic sanctions, public
outreaches, among others. Comment by Adam: Consider
varying the types of sentences used to achieve the desired
effect. Short simple sentences attract attention. Compound
sentences invite comparison. Complex sentences show
relationships and priorities. Compound-complex
sentences provide lots of information. There is an excellent

Comment by Adam: A comma is used before the
conjunction preceding the last item in a list or series of three or
more items to give all items equal importance. For example,
instead of “In the baseball game, Sue got a walk, made a hit and
scored a run,” the correct alternative would be “In the baseball
game, Sue got a walk, made a hit, and scored a run.” There is an
excellent presentation on comma usage on the OWC’s
website: https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success-
center/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/2019/04/Commas.pdf
Since America was founded, policymakers have learned how to
use democracy to achieve security and prosperity, and stability
of the entire world[endnoteRef:6]. America's policymakers have
also learned how to advocate against regimes that deny their
citizens from electing leaders that they wish to hold offices.
Policymakers in America have also learned how to lend a
helping hand to new jurisdictions on how to achieve democracy
in their own countries. Policymakers in America have also
learned how to take government in foreign jurisdictions
responsible for human rights. This is a way of ensuring that
each government takes it as its initiative to protect its people.
Policymakers in America have been at the forefront to protect
observance of the rule of law. This is also something that was
learned from the founding father and ancient policymakers.
Comment by Adam: When a sentence contains a list or
series of three or more items, do not join each item with a
coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, yet). Instead,
place commas between all items and place a coordinating
conjunction only between the final two items. For example,
instead of “For dinner, Ellery wanted fish and broccoli and
sweet potatoes,” the correct alternative would be “For
dinner, Ellery wanted fish, broccoli, and sweet potatoes.” There
is an excellent presentation on conjunctions on the OWC’s
website: https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success-

America's policies makers have also learned how to advocate
for other jurisdictions to understand America's policies. This is
manifested in many ways example, by welcoming foreign
citizens. America uses the Visa program to welcome home
people from other nations. America partners with health
ministries in other jurisdictions to eradicate severe death
suffered by people with chronic diseases and infections.
America is also at the forefront to advocate for green energy
and the protection of the environment. Comment by Adam:

that America has been focusing on single issues, the morality of

institutions sufficiently as per the CWV. Take, for instance,
liberal politics in America. Politics are manifested by greed and
corruption and the promotion of unacceptable moral degradation
concepts, for instance, LGBTQ. Comment by Adam:

splice is a specific kind of run-on sentence which incorrectly
joins two or more independent clauses using only a comma. The
following is a simple example of a comma splice, along
with 5 ways to correct it:
Incorrect: Rachel is very smart, she began reading when she was
3 years old.
Method 1: Use a period and a capital letter to separate the
clauses into 2 sentences. Rachel is very smart. She began
reading when she was 3 years old.
Method 2: Replace the comma with a semicolon. Rachel is very
smart; she began reading when she was 3 years old.
Method 3: Insert a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor,
for, yet). Rachel is very smart, and she began reading when she
was 3 years old.
Method 4: Use a subordinating conjunction to reduce one of the
clauses to an incomplete thought. Because Rachel is very
smart, she began reading when she was 3 years old.
Method 5: Add a semicolon and a transitional word or phrase
(however, moreover, on the other hand, nevertheless, etc.)
before the comma. Rachel is very smart; as a result, she began
reading when she was 3 years old.

Policies in America are also not compatible with CVW in terms
of respect for human rights. There are many instances where
racial minority groups have suffered, yet policymakers have
never addressed this sufficiently. The law is eve applied ore
ruthlessly to these racial minorities. Therefore, policymakers in
America have much remaining for them to address. The
government has also not lived to the reputation of the concept
of government as viewed by the church. Since government and
policymakers are ordained from God, they should not promote
any sin. However, policymakers have approved policies that
support sins. Comment by Adam: Consider various
proofreading methods such as reading aloud, printing the
document, or viewing on a different screen. Comment by
Adam: The conclusion of a research report is usually a very
short section that introduces no new ideas. The conclusion is
important because it is your last chance to convey the
significance and meaning of your research to your reader by
concisely summarizing your findings and generalizing their
importance. It is also a place to raise questions
that remain unanswered and to discuss ambiguous data. The
conclusions you draw are opinions, based on the evidence
presented in the body of your report, but because they are
opinions, you should not tell the reader what to do or what
action they should take. Refer

Introduction
“Turabian” style is an abbreviated version of the more-
comprehensive “Chicago” style.
Turabian is named for Kate L. Turabian, the author of A Manual
for Writers of Research Papers,
Thesis, and Dissertations: Chicago Style for Students &
Researchers, which is currently in its
9th printed edition.1 This sample paper will strive to provide
students with all the foundational
elements of a Turabian paper using the Notes-Bibliography
format for students majoring in
History, (some) Government, and Divinity programs of study.
All class assignments will follow
the Notes-Bibliography format except book reviews, which use
the Author-Date format (see
the Author-Date section of the OWC’s Turabian Quick Guide
for resources on that format).
Many incoming students have opted not to purchase the
Turabian manual; this can have
significant negative effects on those students’ ability to learn
and master Turabian format.
Fortunately, Liberty University subscribes to the Chicago
Manual of Style (CMOS) database in
its Online Library for those students who do not have a current
Turabian manual readily
available to them. Since the Turabian manual is the official
resource commonly used in
academia, the Online Writing Center (OWC) strongly
encourages students to buy the current
Turabian manual (about $10 for hard copy or electronic
version). This sample paper, however,
includes references to the correlating CMOS section(s),
delineated by red hyperlinked text to
denote the relevant CMOS section, in an effort to ensure all
Liberty University students have the
necessary resources to excel academically. It is not proper to
include hyperlinks or colored
lettering in academic class papers; those are merely included
here for ease-of-access purposes.

This paper will focus primarily on the stylistic elements
discussed in Chapters 16 and 17
of the Turabian manual2 —with some minor revisions.3
Students will need to incorporate proper
grammatical elements to their papers as well, but those will not
be addressed in detail herein.
It is important to delineate that undergraduate students will not
use headings,
subheadings, or a contents page in most of their class papers.
Graduate and doctoral students
are recommended to include these elements for any paper with
at least ten pages in the body,
and required to do so in all papers with twenty or more pages in
the body. Those elements are
all included and illustrated throughout this sample paper for
organization and ease-of-access
purposes, but students should adhere to the parameters in their
specific class assignment to
determine whether or not they should include subheadings (and
a contents page, when
appropriate) in that class paper and use the appropriate template
provided on the OWC’s
Turabian Quick Guide page.
Many students’ papers will require an introductory section that
summarizes or previews
the argument of the whole paper, though this is not universally
required for all papers.4 It should
be set apart as a separate First-Level Subheading (addressed
below). Leave one double-spaced
line beneath the word Introduction and the text that follows, as
shown above.5 Turabian suggests
that “most introductions run about 10 percent of the whole.”6
She also suggests that conclusions
are typically shorter than introductions.
2 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 149-235.
3 For example, footnote numbers in standard Turabian are not
superscripted and are followed by a period
(pages 149-50, 162, and 406 of the Turabian manual), but
Liberty University programs require superscripted
numbers with no periods, as depicted throughout this paper.

Ibid.
The abbreviation ibid. is used in most cases to refer to “the
same” source cited
immediately before on the same page7—in this case, footnotes
#5 and #6 on the prior page. One
of the changes in the 9th edition of the Turabian manual was to
discourage the use of the term
ibid. However, all schools and departments within Liberty
University have universally decided to
continue to require and encourage its use at this time, as it is a
long-used historical term that will
occur in many scholarly resources printed prior to 2018,
including most seminal works. As such,
students are instructed to disregard Turabian’s 2018 position on
the use of ibid. for all Liberty
University coursework.
The term ibid. itself is a Latin abbreviation (which is why it is
italicized in the text of a
sentence), so do include the period. Capitalize it when it begins
the footnote, since it depicts the
beginning of a sentence, but do not italicize the term in notes.8
If the page numbers for that
footnote and the one preceding it differ, use Ibid. followed by a
comma and the correct page
number(s), as shown in footnotes #5 and #6 on the previous
page. If the page number is the same
for both the current footnote and the one that precedes it,
simply use the word Ibid. for that
second footnote, as shown in footnote #8 below.
Liberty University’s History Department allows students to
carry forward the use of
ibid. onto subsequent pages as long as there are no other
sources cited between them. For
all other students, however, each new page of a student’s paper
restarts the requirements, so the
first footnoted citation to a source on each page would include
the author’s name and a shortened
title (if previously cited), then students can resume using ibid.
for subsequent consecutive
7 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 166-67.

citations on that page, as shown in footnotes #8 above and #12
below. Standard Turabian format
allows two forms of shortened notes,9 but Liberty University
programs of study require the
author-title version that includes both the author’s name and a
shortened version of the source’s
title. Footnote #11 below (and the first footnote on each new
page referring to the Turabian
manual) depicts a shortened note—where the author’s name is
given, along with a few words of
the title. Always include the page number, whether using a full
footnote or a shortened note.
Basic Formatting
Overview
Turabian generally offers writers great flexibility in the choices
they make regarding
many stylistic elements.10 However, Liberty University’s
schools and departments have adopted
specific requirements as detailed herein. General formatting
elements11 required include:
-inch margins on all four sides of the paper.
-pt.
font for all content in the
paper itself, except Times New Roman 10-pt. font for all
footnote content.
-spacing throughout the body of the paper, except in
the footnotes, block quotes,
table titles, and figure captions. Lists in appendices should be
single-spaced, too.12
s should be blocked if the citation is five or more
lines.
9 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 164-66.
10 For example, Turabian does not specify a font size or style,
although all programs of study at Liberty
University using Turabian require Times New Romans, 12-point
font. Many other elements are also left by Turabian
up to individual writers; the OWC has incorporated its own
educated judgment for those in this sample paper, but
students have freedom to stray from those, where permitted in
the Turabian manual.

Title Page
The Turabian manual provides two different examples and
details for the title page
format options.13 Liberty University has adopted the more
formal one, as shown in this sample
paper and in the templates provided to students.
Page Numbering
The title page should not include any page number,14 although
it is considered the first
page of any paper. The front matter (anything between the title
page and the first page of the
body of the paper) should be numbered with lowercase Roman
numerals centered in the footer,
beginning with ii, to correspond with the fact that it begins on
page two.15 The paper’s body,
bibliography, and appendices display Arabic numerals (i.e., 1,
2, 3) placed flush-right in the
header, beginning with page 1 on the first page of the body of
the paper.16 Liberty University
now offers students templates that are already formatted with
pagination, margin, font, etc.
Table of Contents
Although this page/section is commonly referred to as the “table
of contents,” only the
word “Contents” should appear at the top, centered, without the
quotation marks.17 Students may
not need a table of contents, but one was included in this sample
paper as a visual aid, and
because it is lengthy enough to include subheadings. Liberty
University assignments will specify
if students are required to include subheadings and/or a contents
page. Generally, subheadings

and a contents page are required for assignments with twenty
pages or more of content, and both
are encouraged for assignments of ten to nineteen pages of
content.
The table of contents can span more than one page when
necessary, as it does in this
sample paper. Double-space between each item but single-space
the individual items themselves.
Add an extra line between each of the major sections (including
the front and back matter). It is
important to note that a table of contents does not list the pages
that precede it; only those pages
that follow it. Be sure that the first letter of each word is
capitalized (other than articles and
prepositions within the phrase).
“Leaders” —the dots between the words on the left margin and
their corresponding page
numbers at the right margin in a table of contents—are
acceptable. Only include the first page
each element begins on; not the full page-span.18 MS Word will
automatically populate this.
Number all pages of this element with Roman numerals. If the
table of contents is more
than one page, do not repeat the title. Leave two blank lines
between the title and the first listed
item.19 Single-space individual items listed but add a blank line
after each item. Between the lists
for the front and back matter and the chapters, or between parts
or volumes (if any), leave two
blank lines. This video tutorial shows how to format
subheadings and convert those into a
Contents page for larger projects.
Thesis Statements
Section A.2.1.4 of the Turabian manual discusses the placement
and labeling of an
abstract or thesis statement. Specifically, it acknowledges that
“most departments or universities
18 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 390.
19 Ibid.

https://watch.liberty.edu/media/t/0_uf2oezog
7
have specific models … that you should follow exactly for
content, word count, format,
placement, and pagination.”20 This paper does not include a
separate sample thesis statement
page; some classes will require such. Do not confuse a purpose
statement with a thesis statement,
however. A purpose statement states the reason why the paper is
written. For all practical
purposes, the purpose statement introduces the thesis statement.
An example of a purpose
statement is, “The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that
when one recognizes God’s
freedom, he/she can find biblical inerrancy defensible.” An
example of a thesis statement is,
“Biblical inerrancy is defensible in the context of divine
freedom.” Remember, the purpose and
thesis statements determine the form and content of an outline.
The distinction between a purpose statement and a thesis
statement is important. The
purpose of this sample paper is to provide a template for the
correct formatting of a research
paper. The thesis is, “Students who use this paper as a sample
or template are more likely to
format their papers correctly in the future.”
Line Spacing
Section A.1.3 of the Turabian manual addresses line spacing.21
As mentioned above, all
text in papers should be double-spaced except for block quotes,
table titles, figure captions, and
lists in appendices. The table of contents, footnotes, and
bibliography entries should be single-
spaced internally, but double-spaced between each entry.22
Turabian specifies in Section A.2.2.4
to “put more space before a subheading than after.”23 Liberty
University recommends adding an

extra single-spaced line before each subheading, so the total
space between the end of one
section and the next subheading should be the equivalent of
three single-spaced lines (or one-
and-a-half double-spaced lines); this is demonstrated throughout
this sample paper and pre-
programmed into the Turabian templates. For those students
who wish to learn how to format
this element themselves, see the tutorial on formatting
subheadings. There should only be one
space after periods and other punctuation at the end of each
sentence, before beginning a new
sentence.24
Capitalization
Turabian style has two forms of capitalization for titles:
headline-style and sentence-style.
In headline style, all major words in a title (usually those with
four or more letters, excepting
prepositions) begin with capital letters.25 In sentence-style,
only the first word of a title, the first
word of a subtitle, and proper nouns begin with capital
letters.26 Liberty University courses use
headline style for subheadings.
Chapters versus Subheadings
Turabian allows each writer to determine whether to use
subheadings or chapters to
divide his or her paper into sections.27 There are separate rules
for both. Chapters are usually
reserved for thesis projects and dissertations; subheadings are
often used for class papers of

graduate and doctoral students. Class assignments will specify
whether subheadings are
permitted or required.
Turabian allows great flexibility and individuality in how one
formats the various
subheading levels, when used. Liberty University has adopted
the format for heading levels
shown herein, for the sake of consistency and uniformity.
The title of a heading should never be “orphaned” at the bottom
of a page, without its
supporting text.28 If there is not enough room on the previous
page for both the heading title and
at least the first line of the paragraph, begin a new page.
Authors can, however, have two
headings in a row29 as shown on page 17 below. The formats
used and recommended in this
sample paper reflect that:
1. First-level headings should be centered, bolded, and use
headline-style capitalization.
2. Second-level subheadings should be centered, not bolded, and
use headline-style
capitalization.
3. Third-level subheadings should be left-justified, bolded, and
use headline-style
capitalization.
4. Fourth-level subheadings—though rare in Turabian style—
should be left-justified, not
bolded, with only the first letter of the first word capitalized.
5. Fifth-level subheadings are extremely rare; they should be
indented ½” from the left
margin, not bolded, italicized, in sentence case (including a
period), followed by one
space, with the text following on the same line.

29 Ibid., 404.
https://www-chicagomanualofstyle-
org.ezproxy.liberty.edu/book/ed17/part1/ch02/psec116.html
10
Except for fifth-levels, all text would begin on the line beneath
the heading. Note that
there must be at least two of any subheading used under a larger
heading.30 Turabian also does
not allow orphaned headings, where the heading appears at the
bottom of the page, isolated from
its content on the next page.31 First- and second-level
subheading levels are used throughout this
sample paper, but below is a visualization of each of five levels.
Contemporary Art (First-level)
What Are the Major Styles? (Second-level)
Abstract Expressionism (Third-level)
Major painters and practitioners (Fourth-level)
Pollack as the leader (Fifth-level). This one is unique in that the
text begins on the same
line.
“Voice” and Tense
As a general rule, use active voice and avoid first person (I, me,
we, us, our) or second
person (you, your) pronouns in academic writing unless
permitted by the assignment
instructions. This paper uses third person (one, this author). In
historical writing, use simple past
tense verbs, but when referring to an author’s written work, use
present tense.

Organizing a Paper Using an Outline
When writing a paper, students should organize their outline
first so that they are able to
plan how they will make their argument and then give their
reasoning and evidence to support
their thesis statement. The first paragraph of each section
should explain how this will fit into the
author’s reasoning, and then each section will end with a
summary of how the evidence has
shown such reasoning to be correct. Also, transitions are very
helpful at the end of each major
section so that the reader anticipates how the next section is
connected to the logical progression
of the reasoning the author uses to support his or her thesis.
Liberty University undergraduate papers will generally be less
than ten or twelve pages
and most will not use subheading levels or a contents page at all
(unless specified in the
instructions); most Liberty University graduate and doctoral
research papers will be no longer
than twenty pages and generally will not have long and detailed
outlines or subheadings beyond
the third level.32 Details that would be appropriate for the
fourth or fifth heading level tend to
distract the reader’s attention from the overall thesis within a
short essay (typically fewer than 20
pages). Even if a fourth level is unavoidable, a fifth level is
discouraged.
Quotations and Paraphrases
All content gleaned from another source will be presented as
either a quote or a
paraphrase. A paraphrase means that the original wording has
been change sufficiently into the
student’s own words while keeping the same meaning (not
simply just rearranging the order of
the words or replacing only a few of them); a direct quote
means that the words are used
verbatim, which requires quotation marks. Both require a
citation with a page number to the
32 Papers with ten to nineteen pages in the body are
recommended to include subheadings and a contents
page; those with twenty pages or more are required to do so; the
instructions will specify what is required.
12
original source. Quotes with four or fewer lines of text in the
student’s paper will be incorporated
into the text of the paragraph, as has been demonstrated herein
(such as the bottom of the first
paragraph on page ten).
Quotes that span five lines or more, however, must be block
quoted. Blocked quotations
are single-spaced with one blank line before and after each
excerpt, and the entire left margin of
the block quote is indented one half-inch. No quotation marks
are used when using a blocked
quotation, but do use them if it contains an internal quote.
Turabian requires blocked quotes to be
introduced in the writer’s own words.33 For example, Jackson
evokes the supremacy of home:
Housing is an outward expression of the inner human nature; no
society can be fully
understood apart from the residences of its members. A
nineteenth-century melody
declares, “There’s no place like home,” and even though she
had Emerald City at her
feet, Dorothy could think of no place she would rather be than
at home in Kansas. Our
home are our havens from the world.34
Citations
All content that is taken from another source must include a
citation, whether direct-
quoted or paraphrased. Though Turabian allows two forms of
citing sources in the body of a
paper, this sample paper focuses exclusively on the notes-
bibliography style. Chapters 16 and 17
of the Turabian manual focus on these elements (Chapter 14 in
the CMOS). The “N” denotes
(foot)notes, and the “B” denotes bibliography entries. Be sure to
use the correct format for each
since there are some variances between them for each resource.
Notably, the first/only author’s
name is inverted (i.e., last name first) in bibliography entries,
but not in notes.35

When formatting a footnote, indent the first line of each
footnote the same amount as the
first line of the paragraphs within the paper (1/2”). The
indentation should be before the
superscripted footnote number. Insert one space after the
superscript number before the first
word of the footnote.36 The footnotes should be single-spaced,
and there should be a single blank
space between (or 12-pt. line space after) each footnote.37 Font
within the footer should be 10
point (the OWC recommends Times New Roman, 10-pt.).
There is one notable exclusion to notes formatting that most
Liberty University students
will encounter. The version or translation of the Bible being
used must be identified in the text
with a parenthetical reference (e.g., 1 Cor 1:13, ESV).38 If an
author chooses to use the same
Bible translation (such as the English Standard Version)
throughout the paper, he or she should
add a footnote in the first usage stating, “Unless otherwise
noted, all biblical passages referenced
are in the English Standard Version.” This means that that
author will not need to reference the
version of the Bible in subsequent citations unless he or she
changes the version (otherwise, each
citation must also include a footnote entry crediting the source).
For example, if the student
identified the English Standard Version as the primary version
but chose to use the New
International Version (NIV) when quoting a particular verse
such as John 14:6, the parenthetical
citation following the passage would be (John 14:6, NIV).
36 This rule is specific to Liberty University. In standard
Turabian, the footnote number is not superscripted,
and it is followed by a period.
37 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 162.
38 Ibid., 204; see also section 24.6.

When citing one source quoted in another, Turabian encourages
students to go to the
original source and cite it directly.39 In those cases where the
original cannot be located or
accessed, cite both resources as detailed in Section 17.9.3.
An example of each of the major types of footnoted resources is
included herein for
sample purposes. Note that writers would only include footnotes
and bibliography entries for
resources whose content was actually used in supporting the
author’s position in a paper. Note
also that author names are never inverted in notes. These
samples that follow are for illustration
purposes only, and each source footnoted herein is also included
in the bibliography section. See

bibliography entries, side by side,
for each major type of resource.

POLICY MAKING IN AMERICAAbdirahim M MuhumedPolicy

  • 1. POLICY MAKING IN AMERICA Abdirahim M Muhumed Policy-Making in America Prof: Dean Curry Course: PPOG540 Date:11/07/2021 Impact of Faith in Founding America Comment by Abdirahim AMA Law Group: During the founding of America, faith played a very significant role for the founding fathers. Take, for instance, Jefferson, who was a Christian and desired to follow Christianity to the core. As a Christian, he believed in doing what was right for humankind. He believed that everyone is obliged to do what is right to other human beings.[footnoteRef:1] However, like Jefferson, he never thought black Americans could have equal rights to Native Americans. [1: Hall, Mark David. "America's Founders, Religious Liberty, and the Common Good." U. St. Thomas LJ 15 (2018): 642.] However, because he was a black man, he was able to overcome this perception. He advocated for others who had ideas like his to disregard them. He advocated for the respect of all humanit y irrespective of their religion and ethnicity. This means that Native Americans had to treat even the black people with equality as native America. This was the impact of faith in the founding of America. Jefferson believed that if everyone took at
  • 2. as their initiative to do well to others and do only what is right would have been a good beginning for America as a nation. Comment by Abdirahim AMA Law Group: Relevance to the assignment? Stay focused on the assignment prompts. Jefferson also owned a copy of the Quran when America was being founded. He said that Muslims had equal rights to run for public office just like Christians.[footnoteRef:2] Even though he said that he could not advocate America to be left under the control of a Muslim president, they had equal rights just like a person of any religion. This move by Jefferson impacted the founding of America and leadership. For instance, there is a religious qualification used in America today for someone to run for the presidency. This shows that everyone and anyone can run for the presidency. Their religion will not limit them because all of them are treated with the same regard. This is America of choice for anyone and everyone that does not discriminate aspirants of political positions based on their religions. [2: Dana, Karam, Bryan Wilcox-Archuleta, and Matt Barreto. "The political incorporation of Muslims in the United States: The mobilizing role of religiosity in Islam." Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics 2, no. 2 (2017): 170-200.] Features of America’s Foreign Policies Over time, America has evolved along with different foreign policies. The way America practices foreign policies shows that the country is civilized enough even in its exercise of foreign policies. Different features can be identified from how America practices its foreign policies as follows: Diplomacy is one of these features of American foreign policies.[footnoteRef:3] America advocates its government as a peaceful government with other jurisdictions. To ensure that this is achieved, America used State Department to oversee all the relationships between America and other jurisdictions. This is necessary because it promotes America's image as a peaceful nation that advocates for the peaceful coexist of human beings across the globe. Comment by Abdirahim AMA Law Group:
  • 3. Elements of the American national style? See Hastedt, Chapter 3. [3: Adesina, Olubukola S. "Foreign policy in an era of digital diplomacy." African Journal for the Psychological Studies of Social Issues 19, no. 3 (2016): 169-189. ] The second feature of US foreign policies is agreements on regional security.[footnoteRef:4] This is a feature used to represent America as a nation determined to see United Nations coexist with each other without any crisis. This feature implies that America collaborates with necessary institutions to make life and livelihood safe in United Nations that cannot settle differences among themselves. It is a feature that shows the readiness of America to collaborate with a peace-making institution in its exercise of foreign policies. [4: Rifawan, Affabile, and Novi Amelia. "Two major powers in captivating regional influence and dynamics: Comparing foreign policies of China and United States in Southeast Asia." Contemporary Chinese Political Economy and Strategic Relations: An International Journal 4, no. 1 (2018): 247-272.] The third feature of America's foreign policies is the international monetary structure. America promotes the development of economic institutions that bring on bond every economy from the world. It advocates for the use of IMF as an infrastructure to realize this policy. Here, America argues that policies of other nations should be designed in a way that allows for international trade between local jurisdictions and foreign markets. America observed this feature in several ways, one by accepting exports from different jurisdictions. On the other hand, American multinational corporations also import in other parts of the world, thus enhancing an environment to promote international monetary structure.[footnoteRef:5] [5: Gourinchas, Pierre-Olivier, Hélène Rey, and Maxime Sauzet. "The international monetary and financial system." Annual
  • 4. Review of Economics 11 (2019): 859-893. ] Economic aid is another popular feature of America's foreign policies.[footnoteRef:6] Since World War II, America has been on the lead to aid different jurisdictions and economies. This has been meant to help those who were adversely affected by World War II recover. This feature has been seen, for instance, during this time of the Covid-19 pandemic. America has been at the forefront to donate vaccines to developing nations. This has been to attain a global vaccination level to the extent of defeating the virus. America also issues other aids, such as education, food, nutrition, sports, pharmaceutical aids, and other forms of aids to developing nations. [6: O'Leary, Michael Kent. The politics of American foreign aid. Routledge, 2017.] America’s Policy Makers Learning from America’s Founding Fathers In my opinion, American foreign policies have largely helped policymakers learn from the past. There is a lot to illustrate from modern policies that were ideally lifted, and these are lessons from the founding fathers of America. One reason America has been able to learn from the past policies is its internal protection. America has been able to rise to a level where it has protected itself significantly as a country. Even though there are internal security issues reported, America has guarded itself against terror attacks. America has also been able to protect its people from HIV/Aids. Even though there are some cases of HIV, the number of those who are infected has gone down. America has been educating its people expansively on protecting themselves from contracting HIV, among other deadly viruses. America has also been able to protect its population against mass destruction. There has been no mass destruction by security threats or even pandemics. As a country, America has protected its territory sufficiently.
  • 5. America has also learned how to promote mutual understanding. America has earned how to advocate for common interests among its people. These common interests enable people to assume their religious differences, ethnic differences and coexist as one. Thus, these common interest advocated by the American government brings cohesion and solidarity among Americans.[footnoteRef:7] The US also uses its governmental institution to travel abroad and engage with a foreign audience. This brings understanding between the United States and foreign nations. The overall result for this is running for one dream of togetherness and cohesion between America and its foreign jurisdictions. [7: Todd, Molly. "The Paradox of Trans - American Solidarity: Gender, Race, and Representation in the Guatemalan Refugee Camps of Mexico, 1980–1990." Journal of Cold War Studies 19, no. 4 (2017): 74-112.] America has also learned from its founding policies to advance global interests. There are many ways that American policies advanced global interests and human rights are one of them. America has been advocating for a democracy that respects and gives necessary regard to human rights. For instance, there are many contexts of democracy that America advances. This includes but is not limited to multilateral and bilateral diplomacy, foreign assistance, economic sanctions, public outreaches, among others. Since America was founded, policymakers have learned how to use democracy to achieve security and prosperity, and stability of the entire world.[footnoteRef:8] America's policymakers have also learned how to advocate against regimes that deny their citizens from electing leaders that they wish to hold offices. Policymakers in America have also learned how to lend a helping hand to new jurisdictions on how to achieve democracy in their own countries. Policymakers in America have also learned how to take government in foreign jurisdictions responsible for human rights.[footnoteRef:9] This is a way of ensuring that each government takes it as its
  • 6. initiative to protect its people. Policymakers in America have been at the forefront to protect observance of the rule of law. This is also something that was learned from the founding father and ancient policymakers. [8: Dunlop, Claire A., Claudio M. Radaelli, and Philipp Trein. "Introduction: The family tree of policy learning." In Learning in public policy, pp. 1-25. Palgrave Macmillan, Cham, 2018.] [9: Sikkink, Kathryn. "6. The Power of Principled Ideas: Human Rights Policies in the United States and Western Europe." In Ideas and foreign policy, pp. 139-170. Cornell University Press, 2019.] America's policies makers have also learned how to advocate for other jurisdictions to understand America's policies. This is manifested in many ways example, by welcoming foreign citizens. America uses the Visa program to welcome home people from other nations. America partners with health ministries in other jurisdictions to eradicate severe death suffered by people with chronic diseases and infections. America is also at the forefront to advocate for green energy and the protection of the environment. Compatibility of America’s Approach to Foreign Policies to Christin World Views Comment by Abdirahim AMA Law Group: Down to the next page In my opinion, the way America approaches foreign policies is not compatible with the Christian worldview for several reasons. One, it is not compatible from a world order point of view. According to ‘a Christians declaration’ released in 2016, America has tried its best to advocate for morality (Providence, 2016). A Christian Declaration on American Foreign Policy, retrieved from https://providencemag.com/2016/09/christian- declaration-american-foreign-policy/. However, the CVW feels that America has been focusing on single issues, the morality of human rights has been upheld in America as per the Christian world views. America has not protected different cultural institutions sufficiently as per the CWV. Take, for instance,
  • 7. liberal politics in America. Politics are manifested by greed and corruption and the promotion of unacceptable moral degradation concepts, for instance, LGBTQ. Policies in America are also not compatible with CVW in terms of respect for human rights. There are many instances where racial minority groups have suffered, yet policymakers have never addressed this sufficiently. The law is eve applied ore ruthlessly to these racial minorities. Therefore, policymakers in America have much remaining for them to address. The government has also not lived to the reputation of the concept of government as viewed by the church. Since government and policymakers are ordained from God, they should not promote any sin. However, policymakers have approved policies that support sins.

America has been educating its people expansively on protecting themselves from contracting HIV, among other deadly viruses. America has also been able to protect its population against mass destruction. There has been no mass destruction by security threats or even pandemics. As a country, America has protected its territory sufficiently. America has also learned how to promote mutual understanding. America has earned how to advocate for common interests among its people. These common interests enable people to assume their religious differences, ethnic differences and coexist as one. Thus, these common interest advocated by the American government brings cohesion and solidarity among Americans.7 The US also uses its governmental institution to

America has been advocating for a democracy that respects and gives necessary regard to human rights. For instance, there are many contexts of democracy that America advances.

  • 20. not compatible with the Christian worldview for several reasons. One, it is not compatible from a world order point of view. According to ‘a Christians declaration’ released in 2016, America has tried its best to advocate for morality (Providence, 2016). A Christian Declaration on American Foreign Policy, retrieved from https://providencemag.com/2016/09/christian- declaration-american-foreign- policy/. However, the CVW feels that America has been focusing on single issues, the morality of human rights has been upheld in America as per the Christian world views. America has not protected different cultural institutions sufficiently as per the CWV. Take, for instance, liberal politics in America. Politics are manifested by greed and corruption and the promotion of unacceptable moral degradation concepts, for instance, LGBTQ. Policies in America are also not compatible with CVW in terms of respect for human rights. There are many instances where racial minority groups have suffered, yet policymakers
  • 21. have never addressed this sufficiently. The law is eve applied ore ruthlessly to these racial minorities. Therefore, policymakers in America have much remaining for them to address. The government has also not lived to the reputation of the concept of government as viewed by the church. Since government and policymakers are ordained from God, they should not promote any sin. However, policymakers have approved policies that support sins. https://providencemag.com/2016/09/christian-declaration- american-foreign-policy/ https://providencemag.com/2016/09/christian-declaration- american-foreign-policy/ POLICY MAKING IN AMERICA 8 Bibliography: Hall, Mark David.

POLICY MAKING IN AMERICA Comment by Adam: Hi, Abdirahim, and welcome to the Online Writing Center (OWC). I cannot edit the paper for you, but I will make some helpful suggestions and point out opportunities for improvement. I cannot point out every instance of every issue, so please take those I do point out and use them as examples of kinds of things you can look for during your revising and editing. When you see the words “Apply throughout,” this indicates that I will no longer explicitly comment on similar errors. You will need to locate and change other instances of like errors throughout the remainder of your paper. Be sure to review the Turabian formatting requirements before submitting your paper for final grading. Compare your paper against both the template from your professor and the Liberty requirements for formatting. There is a great online resource for the basics of Turabian formatting at https://www.liberty.edu/academics/casas/academicsuccess/ind ex.cfm?PID=11954. I hope these comments help! If you have any specific questions that I did not address here, feel free to email the OWC at [email protected] or schedule a

Thanks for using the OWC, Adam S. Disclaimer: Remember that the OWC is not an editing service. Our comments and suggestions are not exhaustive. Our service is designed to help you recognize and correct your writing so that you can become a better writer. Except where otherwise noted, formatting suggestions follow the latest (9th) edition of A Manual for Writers by Kate L. Turabian.  Abdirahim Muhumed Policy-Making in America Name of Instructor: Comment by Adam: Liberty uses a standard Turabian title page. You can find one ready to combine with your text in the Turabian Template Essentially, the elements in the title page are double spaced and there are some extra carriage returns (i.e. you hit [ENTER] to spaced things out). All of the title page elements should be centered. A few pointers on making a title page. It is easiest just to leave the title page in normal style. Many students are tempted to use Word’s heading styles on the title page but that is just extra work and messes up the spacing. If in doubt, almost everything in Turabian is Times New Roman

See the OWC Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help. Course Title: Date: Impact of Faith in Founding America Comment by Adam: First level section headings are centered, boldface or italic type, with headline-style (major words are capitalized) capitalization (Turabian A.2.2.4). See the OWC’s Turabian Headings Guide for additional information and examples. During the founding of America, faith played a very significant role for the founding fathers. Take, for instance, Jefferson, who was a Christian and desired to follow Christianity to the core. As a Christian, he believed in doing what was right for humankind. He believed that everyone is obliged to do what is right to other human beings[endnoteRef:2]. However, like Jefferson, he never thought black Americans could have equal rights to Native Americans. Comment by Adam: This is fine…but….leading with the most important idea woud be more powerful. For example: Instead of, During Thanksgiving our family gathers for a meal. You could say Our family gathers for a Thanksgiving meal. The emphasis is then placed in the gathering. There is an excellent worksheet on sentence construction

In general, it is: Author’s First and Last Names, “Title of Article,” Title of Journal Volume Number, issue no. (date of publication): page number(s) (Turabian 17.2). For example: 1 John Maynard Smith, “The Origin of Altruism,” Nature 393, no. 1 (1998): 639–40. See the OWC Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help. Notice that footnotes being with the same .5 inch indent that paragraphs use. WORD calls this a “First Line” indent. Comment by Adam: A footnote belongs at the bottom of the page on which it is referenced (Turabian 16.3.4). Turabian formatting requires footnotes to be normal style and a standard black Times New Roman font size 10 throughout. They are to be numbered consecutively by a superscript Arabic numeral and single-spaced with an extra line between footnotes. They are to be left justified with the first line is indented 0.5”. The authors’ names are given in conventional order, first name first. Use of the abbreviations p. or pp. for page or pages is not needed. See the OWC Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help. Comment by Adam: The footnote generally follows the terminal punctuation of the sentence containing the cited information, unless a specific word, phrase, or quotation is cited mid-sentence. In that case the footnote is cited following any applicable punctuation (Turabian 25.2.1.1). See the OWC Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help. APPLY THROUGHOUT Comment by Adam: Jefferson was the
  • 28. subject. It sounds as if Jefferson is like Jefferson. Should there be another person identified in this paragraph? [2: Hall, Mark David. "America's Founders, Religious Liberty, and the Common Good." U. St. Thomas LJ 15 (2018): 642.] However, because he was a black man, he was able to overcome this perception. He advocated for others who had ideas like his to disregard them. He advocated for the respect of all humanity irrespective of their religion and ethnicity. This means that Native Americans had to treat even the black people with equality as native America. This was the impact of faith in the founding of America. Jefferson believed that if everyone took at as their initiative to do well to others and do only what is right would have been a good beginning for America as a nation. Comment by Adam: A pronoun - a word such as she, yourself, her, it, this, who, or which - should clearly refer to the word or words it replaces (called the antecedent) elsewhere in the sentence or in a previous sentence. If more than one word could be the antecedent or if no specific antecedent is present in the sentence, edit to make the meaning clear. Does this refer to the missing character from the first paragraph? Comment by Adam: Na·tive A·mer·i·can /ˈnādiv əˈmerəkən/ Learn to pronounce noun plural noun: Native Americans a member of any of the indigenous peoples of North, Central, and South America, especially those indigenous to what is now the continental US.
  • 29. Be intentional with this term. Native Americans refers to the pre-colonial indigenous tribes. I am flagging this because the American founding fathers were not Native Americans by this definition. The term refers to a specific ethnic group which is another minority. Jefferson also owned a copy of the Quran when America was being founded. He said that Muslims had equal rights to run for public office just like Christians. Even though he said that he could not advocate America to be left under the control of a Muslim president, they had equal rights just like a person of any religion. This move by Jefferson impacted the founding of America and leadership. For instance, there is a religious qualification used in America today for someone to run for the presidency. This shows that everyone and anyone can run for the presidency. Their religion will not limit them because all of them are treated with the same regard. This is America of choice for anyone and everyone that does not discriminate aspirants of political positions based on their religions. Comment by Adam: Should this have been negated? Comment by Adam: Again, clarify antecedents Them could point to the people or the religions in this sentence. Hall, Mark David. "America's Founders, Religious Liberty, and the Common Good." U. St. Thomas LJ 15 (2018): 642. Features of America’s Foreign Policies Over time, America has evolved along with different foreign policies. The way America practices foreign policies shows that the country is civilized enough even in its exercise of foreign policies. Different features can be identified from how America practices its foreign policies as follows: Diplomacy is one of these features of American foreign policies[endnoteRef:3]. America advocates its government as a peaceful government with other jurisdictions. To ensure that this is achieved, America used State Department to oversee all the relationships between America and other jurisdictions. This
  • 30. is necessary because it promotes America's image as a peaceful nation that advocates for the peaceful coexist of human beings across the globe. Comment by Adam: Avoid using a phrase or a clause where a single word can express the same idea. For example, instead of “George considered who the murderer was and why he did it,” the correct alternative would be “George considered the murderer’s identity and motive.” Please see the helpful resource on the OWC website at: https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success-center/wp- content/uploads/sites/28/2019/04/Wordiness.pdf. Comment by Adam: Avoid repeating words or phrases to express the same thoughts or ideas, especially within a sentence or in consecutive sentences. Repeated words are monotonous and imply a lack of understanding of the topic at hand. For example, instead of “Different aspects of a thesis require different expressions, that is, a different word reflecting a different perspective on your paper's theme as it relates to different circumstances.” Consider, “Different aspects of a thesis require their own expressions, that is, a certain word chosen to reflect each individual perspective on the theme as it relates to particular circumstances.” See this helpful resource for more information: https://writingcenter.unc.edu/tips-and- tools/word-choice/ APPLY THROUGHOUT Comment by Adam: A definite article is used to indicate a specific or particular noun. For example, instead of "Mary went over to car and got in," or, "Mary went over to a car and got in," the correct alternative would be "Mary went over to the car and got in." This indicates Mary got into a specific car. There is an excellent presentation on articles on the OWC website at https://www.liberty.edu/media/1171/Articles.pdf APPLY THROUGHOUT [3: Adesina, Olubukola S. "Foreign policy in an era of digital diplomacy." Cogent Social Sciences 3, no. 1 (2017): 1297175.] The second feature of US foreign policies is agreements on
  • 31. regional security. This is a feature used to represent America as a nation determined to see United Nations coexist with each other without any crisis. This feature implies that America collaborates with necessary institutions to make life and livelihood safe in United Nations that cannot settle differences among themselves. It is a feature that shows the readiness of America to collaborate with a peace-making institution in its exercise of foreign policies. Comment by Adam: Again, this is a term with a specific meaning. There is the organization The United Nations (UN) I think you would be fine using this specifically “the United Nations” (both capitalized and with a definite article) Or generally, as united nations But the capitalization and article need to point the reader in the same direction. The third feature of America's foreign policies is the international monetary structure. America promotes the development of economic institutions that bring on bond every economy from the world. It advocates for the use of IMF as an infrastructure to realize this policy. Here, America argues that policies of other nations should be designed in a way that allows for international trade between local jurisdictions and foreign markets. Comment by Adam: Clarify here Might be a wrong word (bring of board, maybe) Or wordiness….if you simply mean that the policies bond economies….as in link them. The meanings are close enough I can not differentiate by context…but again, they are not identical.
  • 32. 2 Adesina, Olubukola S. "Foreign policy in an era of digital diplomacy." Cogent Social Sciences 3, no. 1 (2017): 1297175. America observed this feature in several ways, one by accepting exports from different jurisdictions. On the other hand, American multinational corporations also import in other parts of the world, thus enhancing an environment to promote international monetary structure[endnoteRef:4]. Comment by Adam: Wrong word errors can involve mixing up words that sound alike, using a word with the wrong shade of meaning, or using a word with a completely wrong meaning. Many wrong- word errors are due to the improper use of homonyms - words that are pronounced alike but spelled differently, such as their and there. For example, “Paradise Lost contains many illusions to classical mythology.” Illusion means "false ideas or appearances," and allusion means "references." Instead use, “Paradise Lost contains many allusions to classical mythology.” For example, “Working at a computer all day often means being sedate for long periods of time.” Sedate means "composed, dignified," and sedentary means "requiring much sitting." Instead use, “Working at a computer all day often means being sedentary for long periods of time.” For more information, see this helpful resource on commonly misused words from the writing center. [4: Gourinchas, Pierre-Olivier, Hélène Rey, and Maxime Sauzet. "The international monetary and financial system." Annual Review of Economics 11 (2019): 859-893.] Economic aid is another popular feature of America's foreign policies[endnoteRef:5]. Since World War II, America has been on the lead to aid different jurisdictions and economies. This has been meant to help those who were adversely affected by World War II recover. This feature has been seen, for instance,
  • 33. during this time of the Covid-19 pandemic. America has been at the forefront to donate vaccines to developing nations. This has been to attain a global vaccination level to the extent of defeating the virus. America also issues other aids, such as education, food, nutrition, sports, pharmaceutical aids, and other forms of aids to developing nations. Comment by Adam: Footnotes for books must follow Turabian format. In general, it is: Author’s First and Last Names, Title of Book: Subtitle of Book (Publisher’s City, Publisher’s State [unless city is well-known]: Publisher’s Name, Date of Publication), page number(s) (Turabian 17.1.1). For example: 1 Alexander Roberts, James Donaldson and A. Cleveland Coxe, The Ante-Nicene Fathers: Translations of the Writings of the Fathers Down to A.D. 325 (Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, 1997), 182. See the OWC Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help. Comment by Adam: Many words in English are regularly used with a particular preposition to express a particular meaning. Throwing a ball to someone is different from throwing a ball at someone. Because many prepositions are short and not stressed or pronounced clearly in speech, they are often accidentally left out or mixed up in writing. Check out the writing resources on the OWC website.

That being said, be careful not to overstate your expertise. There is an area between apologizing and hubris that makes a good tone for a paper. See GrammarBook.com for more information. Comment by Adam: This phrase is not clear. I will preappoligize, worried this comes across wrong But it sounds like a bad translation. I can vaguely see the idea being expressed but the word choices are not optimal. Comment by Adam: Writers must remember that adjectives are relative to a reader’s experiences. Describing a character as tall without specifying a height allows every reader to imagine a different measurement. Some writers prefer to allow audiences a lot of freedom, but doing so can be dangerous. amazing / wonderful / etc. - Avoid overstating how special a person, thing, or event is. Romance novels, in particular, overuse these words. big / small, short / tall - Remember each reader has a unique perspective from which he or she views other people. Give precise descriptions of characters when possible. all / every - “All” and “every” imply absolute quantities. perfect - Nothing real is perfect. However, one makes exceptions for perfect scores, perfect angles, and the perfect tense of verbs. See GrammarBook.com for more information. Security is also relative to the reader’s experience

  • 36. The bright and shiney car. ALTERNATIVELY A comma is used between coordinate adjectives. To determine if a comma is appropriate, substitute the word and for the comma. If the and makes sense, then a comma is needed. For example, “Jim had a short happy life.” Try “Jim has a short and happy life.” Since that makes sense, use a comma: “Jim had a short, happy life.” There is an excellent presentation on comma usage on the OWC’s website: https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success- center/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/2019/04/Commas.pdf Comment by Adam: Words that modify nouns must agree in number with the noun they modify. For example, instead of “these picture,” the correct alternative would be “this picture” or “these pictures.” See GrammarBook.com for more information. Comment by Adam: William Strunk, in his Elements of Style, offered this thought on efficiency and conciseness in writing: Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.

For example, instead of “In the baseball game, Sue got a walk, made a hit and scored a run,” the correct alternative would be “In the baseball game, Sue got a walk, made a hit, and scored a run.” There is an excellent presentation on comma usage on the OWC’s website: https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success- center/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/2019/04/Commas.pdf Since America was founded, policymakers have learned how to use democracy to achieve security and prosperity, and stability of the entire world[endnoteRef:6].

This is a way of ensuring that each government takes it as its initiative to protect its people. Policymakers in America have been at the forefront to protect observance of the rule of law. This is also something that was learned from the founding father and ancient policymakers. Comment by Adam: When a sentence contains a list or series of three or more items, do not join each item with a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, yet). Instead, place commas between all items and place a coordinating conjunction only between the final two items.

For example: 1 Richard Morningside, “Georgia County Agrees to Remove Ten Commandments Display from Courthouse,” American Civil Liberties Union, last modified March 4, 2006, http://www.aclu.org/religion/tencomm/ 20163prs20050719.html. See the OWC Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help. When no author is given for a website article, the citation begins with the title of the webpage or article (Turabian 17.5). For example: 5 “2013 Annual Meeting,” American Academy of Religion, last modified December 8, 2012, http://www.aarweb.org/Meetings/Annual_Meeting/Curren t_Meeting/default.asp. See the OWC Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help retrieved from https://providencemag.com/2016/09/christian- declaration-american-foreign-policy/. However, the CVW feels that America has been focusing on single issues, the morality of
  • 41. human rights has been upheld in America as per the Christian world views. America has not protected different cultural institutions sufficiently as per the CWV. Take, for instance, liberal politics in America. Politics are manifested by greed and corruption and the promotion of unacceptable moral degradation concepts, for instance, LGBTQ. Comment by Adam: Abbreviations are allowed for names, titles, or other terms used frequently in your paper. Give the full term on first reference followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. For subsequent references, use the abbreviation consistently (Turabian 24.1.2). See the OWC Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help. Comment by Adam: A comma splice is a specific kind of run-on sentence which incorrectly joins two or more independent clauses using only a comma. The following is a simple example of a comma splice, along with 5 ways to correct it: Incorrect: Rachel is very smart, she began reading when she was 3 years old. Method 1: Use a period and a capital letter to separate the clauses into 2 sentences. Rachel is very smart. She began reading when she was 3 years old. Method 2: Replace the comma with a semicolon. Rachel is very smart; she began reading when she was 3 years old. Method 3: Insert a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, yet). Rachel is very smart, and she began reading when she was 3 years old. Method 4: Use a subordinating conjunction to reduce one of the clauses to an incomplete thought. Because Rachel is very smart, she began reading when she was 3 years old. Method 5: Add a semicolon and a transitional word or phrase (however, moreover, on the other hand, nevertheless, etc.) before the comma. Rachel is very smart; as a result, she began reading when she was 3 years old. There is a helpful resource on comma splices on the OWC’s
  • 42. website: https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success- center/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/2019/04/Run- on_Sentences.pdf Policies in America are also not compatible with CVW in terms of respect for human rights. There are many instances where racial minority groups have suffered, yet policymakers have never addressed this sufficiently. The law is eve applied ore ruthlessly to these racial minorities. Therefore, policymakers in America have much remaining for them to address. The government has also not lived to the reputation of the concept of government as viewed by the church. Since government and policymakers are ordained from God, they should not promote any sin. However, policymakers have approved policies that support sins. Comment by Adam: Consider various proofreading methods such as reading aloud, printing the document, or viewing on a different screen. Comment by Adam: The conclusion of a research report is usually a very short section that introduces no new ideas. The conclusion is important because it is your last chance to convey the significance and meaning of your research to your reader by concisely summarizing your findings and generalizing their importance. It is also a place to raise questions that remain unanswered and to discuss ambiguous data. The conclusions you draw are opinions, based on the evidence presented in the body of your report, but because they are opinions, you should not tell the reader what to do or what action they should take.

  • 43. Bibliography: Comment by Adam: “Bibliography” needs to be in normal style and a boldface Times New Roman font size 12, centered at the top of the first page. Double space after (Turabian A.2.3.5). See the OWC Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help. Comment by Adam: Bibliographic entries should be left justified, single-spaced, unnumbered, and alphabetized by the first author’s last name. Lines after the first are to be indented .05”. Use normal style and a standard black Times New Roman font size 12. Double space between entries (Turabian A.2.3.5). See the OWC Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help. Comment by Adam: Bibliographic citations for books must follow Turabian format. In general, it is: Author’s Last Name, Author’s First Name. Title of Book: Subtitle of Book. Place of Publication: Publisher’s Name, Date of Publication (Turabian 16.1). See the OWC Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help. For example: Atnip, Mike. Scenes from the Life of David Zeisberger. Newmanstown, PA: Primitive Christianity, 2005. Comment by Adam: Bibliographic citations for journal articles must follow Turabian format. In general, it is: Author’s Last Name, Author’s First Name. “Title of Article: Subtitle of Article.” Title of Journal volume number, issue number (Issue date): page(s) (Turabian 16.1). See the OWC Turabian Format Quick Guide for more help.

Turabian is named for Kate L. Turabian, the author of A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Thesis, and Dissertations: Chicago Style for Students & Researchers, which is currently in its 9th printed edition.1 This sample paper will strive to provide students with all the foundational elements of a Turabian paper using the Notes-Bibliography format for students majoring in History, (some) Government, and Divinity programs of study. All class assignments will follow
  • 50. the Notes-Bibliography format except book reviews, which use the Author-Date format (see the Author-Date section of the OWC’s Turabian Quick Guide for resources on that format). Many incoming students have opted not to purchase the Turabian manual; this can have significant negative effects on those students’ ability to learn and master Turabian format. Fortunately, Liberty University subscribes to the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) database in its Online Library for those students who do not have a current Turabian manual readily available to them. Since the Turabian manual is the official resource commonly used in academia, the Online Writing Center (OWC) strongly encourages students to buy the current Turabian manual (about $10 for hard copy or electronic version). This sample paper, however, includes references to the correlating CMOS section(s), delineated by red hyperlinked text to denote the relevant CMOS section, in an effort to ensure all Liberty University students have the necessary resources to excel academically. It is not proper to include hyperlinks or colored
  • 51. lettering in academic class papers; those are merely included here for ease-of-access purposes. 1 Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 9th ed. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2018). https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success- center/turabian/quick-guide/ https://www-chicagomanualofstyle- org.ezproxy.liberty.edu/home.html 2 This paper will focus primarily on the stylistic elements discussed in Chapters 16 and 17 of the Turabian manual2 —with some minor revisions.3 Students will need to incorporate proper grammatical elements to their papers as well, but those will not be addressed in detail herein. It is important to delineate that undergraduate students will not use headings, subheadings, or a contents page in most of their class papers. Graduate and doctoral students are recommended to include these elements for any paper with
  • 52. at least ten pages in the body, and required to do so in all papers with twenty or more pages in the body. Those elements are all included and illustrated throughout this sample paper for organization and ease-of-access purposes, but students should adhere to the parameters in their specific class assignment to determine whether or not they should include subheadings (and a contents page, when appropriate) in that class paper and use the appropriate template provided on the OWC’s Turabian Quick Guide page. Many students’ papers will require an introductory section that summarizes or previews the argument of the whole paper, though this is not universally required for all papers.4 It should be set apart as a separate First-Level Subheading (addressed below). Leave one double-spaced line beneath the word Introduction and the text that follows, as shown above.5 Turabian suggests that “most introductions run about 10 percent of the whole.”6 She also suggests that conclusions are typically shorter than introductions.
  • 53. 2 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 149-235. 3 For example, footnote numbers in standard Turabian are not superscripted and are followed by a period (pages 149-50, 162, and 406 of the Turabian manual), but Liberty University programs require superscripted numbers with no periods, as depicted throughout this paper. 4 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 400, 402. 5 Ibid., 402. 6 Ibid., 107. https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success- center/turabian/quick-guide/ https://www-chicagomanualofstyle- org.ezproxy.liberty.edu/book/ed17/part1/ch01/psec047.html 3 Ibid. The abbreviation ibid. is used in most cases to refer to “the same” source cited immediately before on the same page7—in this case, footnotes #5 and #6 on the prior page. One of the changes in the 9th edition of the Turabian manual was to
  • 54. discourage the use of the term ibid. However, all schools and departments within Liberty University have universally decided to continue to require and encourage its use at this time, as it is a long-used historical term that will occur in many scholarly resources printed prior to 2018, including most seminal works. As such, students are instructed to disregard Turabian’s 2018 position on the use of ibid. for all Liberty University coursework. The term ibid. itself is a Latin abbreviation (which is why it is italicized in the text of a sentence), so do include the period. Capitalize it when it begins the footnote, since it depicts the beginning of a sentence, but do not italicize the term in notes.8 If the page numbers for that footnote and the one preceding it differ, use Ibid. followed by a comma and the correct page number(s), as shown in footnotes #5 and #6 on the previous page. If the page number is the same for both the current footnote and the one that precedes it, simply use the word Ibid. for that second footnote, as shown in footnote #8 below.
  • 55. Liberty University’s History Department allows students to carry forward the use of ibid. onto subsequent pages as long as there are no other sources cited between them. For all other students, however, each new page of a student’s paper restarts the requirements, so the first footnoted citation to a source on each page would include the author’s name and a shortened title (if previously cited), then students can resume using ibid. for subsequent consecutive 7 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 166-67. 8 Ibid. 4 citations on that page, as shown in footnotes #8 above and #12 below. Standard Turabian format allows two forms of shortened notes,9 but Liberty University programs of study require the author-title version that includes both the author’s name and a shortened version of the source’s title. Footnote #11 below (and the first footnote on each new
  • 56. page referring to the Turabian manual) depicts a shortened note—where the author’s name is given, along with a few words of the title. Always include the page number, whether using a full footnote or a shortened note. Basic Formatting Overview Turabian generally offers writers great flexibility in the choices they make regarding many stylistic elements.10 However, Liberty University’s schools and departments have adopted specific requirements as detailed herein. General formatting elements11 required include: -inch margins on all four sides of the paper. -pt. font for all content in the paper itself, except Times New Roman 10-pt. font for all footnote content. -spacing throughout the body of the paper, except in the footnotes, block quotes, table titles, and figure captions. Lists in appendices should be single-spaced, too.12 s should be blocked if the citation is five or more
  • 57. lines. 9 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 164-66. 10 For example, Turabian does not specify a font size or style, although all programs of study at Liberty University using Turabian require Times New Romans, 12-point font. Many other elements are also left by Turabian up to individual writers; the OWC has incorporated its own educated judgment for those in this sample paper, but students have freedom to stray from those, where permitted in the Turabian manual. 11 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 384-87. 12 Ibid., 385. https://www-chicagomanualofstyle- org.ezproxy.liberty.edu/book/ed17/part1/ch02/psec010.html 5 Title Page The Turabian manual provides two different examples and details for the title page format options.13 Liberty University has adopted the more formal one, as shown in this sample
  • 58. paper and in the templates provided to students. Page Numbering The title page should not include any page number,14 although it is considered the first page of any paper. The front matter (anything between the title page and the first page of the body of the paper) should be numbered with lowercase Roman numerals centered in the footer, beginning with ii, to correspond with the fact that it begins on page two.15 The paper’s body, bibliography, and appendices display Arabic numerals (i.e., 1, 2, 3) placed flush-right in the header, beginning with page 1 on the first page of the body of the paper.16 Liberty University now offers students templates that are already formatted with pagination, margin, font, etc. Table of Contents Although this page/section is commonly referred to as the “table of contents,” only the word “Contents” should appear at the top, centered, without the quotation marks.17 Students may not need a table of contents, but one was included in this sample paper as a visual aid, and
  • 59. because it is lengthy enough to include subheadings. Liberty University assignments will specify if students are required to include subheadings and/or a contents page. Generally, subheadings 13 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 391-92. 14 Ibid., 385. 15 Ibid., 386. 16 Ibid., 386. 17 Ibid., 390, 394-395. https://www-chicagomanualofstyle- org.ezproxy.liberty.edu/book/ed17/part1/ch01/psec007.html https://www-chicagomanualofstyle- org.ezproxy.liberty.edu/book/ed17/part1/ch01/psec008.html https://www-chicagomanualofstyle- org.ezproxy.liberty.edu/book/ed17/part1/ch01/figures/fig005.ht ml 6 and a contents page are required for assignments with twenty pages or more of content, and both are encouraged for assignments of ten to nineteen pages of content.
  • 60. The table of contents can span more than one page when necessary, as it does in this sample paper. Double-space between each item but single-space the individual items themselves. Add an extra line between each of the major sections (including the front and back matter). It is important to note that a table of contents does not list the pages that precede it; only those pages that follow it. Be sure that the first letter of each word is capitalized (other than articles and prepositions within the phrase). “Leaders” —the dots between the words on the left margin and their corresponding page numbers at the right margin in a table of contents—are acceptable. Only include the first page each element begins on; not the full page-span.18 MS Word will automatically populate this. Number all pages of this element with Roman numerals. If the table of contents is more than one page, do not repeat the title. Leave two blank lines between the title and the first listed item.19 Single-space individual items listed but add a blank line after each item. Between the lists
  • 61. for the front and back matter and the chapters, or between parts or volumes (if any), leave two blank lines. This video tutorial shows how to format subheadings and convert those into a Contents page for larger projects. Thesis Statements Section A.2.1.4 of the Turabian manual discusses the placement and labeling of an abstract or thesis statement. Specifically, it acknowledges that “most departments or universities 18 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 390. 19 Ibid. https://watch.liberty.edu/media/t/0_uf2oezog https://watch.liberty.edu/media/t/0_uf2oezog 7 have specific models … that you should follow exactly for content, word count, format, placement, and pagination.”20 This paper does not include a separate sample thesis statement page; some classes will require such. Do not confuse a purpose
  • 62. statement with a thesis statement, however. A purpose statement states the reason why the paper is written. For all practical purposes, the purpose statement introduces the thesis statement. An example of a purpose statement is, “The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that when one recognizes God’s freedom, he/she can find biblical inerrancy defensible.” An example of a thesis statement is, “Biblical inerrancy is defensible in the context of divine freedom.” Remember, the purpose and thesis statements determine the form and content of an outline. The distinction between a purpose statement and a thesis statement is important. The purpose of this sample paper is to provide a template for the correct formatting of a research paper. The thesis is, “Students who use this paper as a sample or template are more likely to format their papers correctly in the future.” Line Spacing Section A.1.3 of the Turabian manual addresses line spacing.21 As mentioned above, all text in papers should be double-spaced except for block quotes,
  • 63. table titles, figure captions, and lists in appendices. The table of contents, footnotes, and bibliography entries should be single- spaced internally, but double-spaced between each entry.22 Turabian specifies in Section A.2.2.4 to “put more space before a subheading than after.”23 Liberty University recommends adding an 20 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 389. 21 Ibid., 385. 22 Ibid., 385. 23 Ibid., 404. 8 extra single-spaced line before each subheading, so the total space between the end of one section and the next subheading should be the equivalent of three single-spaced lines (or one- and-a-half double-spaced lines); this is demonstrated throughout this sample paper and pre- programmed into the Turabian templates. For those students
  • 64. who wish to learn how to format this element themselves, see the tutorial on formatting subheadings. There should only be one space after periods and other punctuation at the end of each sentence, before beginning a new sentence.24 Capitalization Turabian style has two forms of capitalization for titles: headline-style and sentence-style. In headline style, all major words in a title (usually those with four or more letters, excepting prepositions) begin with capital letters.25 In sentence-style, only the first word of a title, the first word of a subtitle, and proper nouns begin with capital letters.26 Liberty University courses use headline style for subheadings. Chapters versus Subheadings Turabian allows each writer to determine whether to use subheadings or chapters to divide his or her paper into sections.27 There are separate rules for both. Chapters are usually reserved for thesis projects and dissertations; subheadings are often used for class papers of

Class assignments will specify whether subheadings are permitted or required. Turabian allows great flexibility and individuality in how one formats the various subheading levels, when used. Liberty University has adopted
  • 66. the format for heading levels shown herein, for the sake of consistency and uniformity. The title of a heading should never be “orphaned” at the bottom of a page, without its supporting text.28 If there is not enough room on the previous page for both the heading title and at least the first line of the paragraph, begin a new page. Authors can, however, have two headings in a row29 as shown on page 17 below. The formats used and recommended in this sample paper reflect that: 1. First-level headings should be centered, bolded, and use headline-style capitalization. 2. Second-level subheadings should be centered, not bolded, and use headline-style capitalization. 3. Third-level subheadings should be left-justified, bolded, and use headline-style capitalization. 4. Fourth-level subheadings—though rare in Turabian style— should be left-justified, not bolded, with only the first letter of the first word capitalized.
  • 67. 5. Fifth-level subheadings are extremely rare; they should be indented ½” from the left margin, not bolded, italicized, in sentence case (including a period), followed by one space, with the text following on the same line. 28 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 405. 29 Ibid., 404. https://www-chicagomanualofstyle- org.ezproxy.liberty.edu/book/ed17/part1/ch02/psec116.html 10 Except for fifth-levels, all text would begin on the line beneath the heading. Note that there must be at least two of any subheading used under a larger heading.30 Turabian also does not allow orphaned headings, where the heading appears at the bottom of the page, isolated from its content on the next page.31 First- and second-level subheading levels are used throughout this sample paper, but below is a visualization of each of five levels. Contemporary Art (First-level)
  • 68. What Are the Major Styles? (Second-level) Abstract Expressionism (Third-level) Major painters and practitioners (Fourth-level) Pollack as the leader (Fifth-level). This one is unique in that the text begins on the same line. “Voice” and Tense As a general rule, use active voice and avoid first person (I, me, we, us, our) or second person (you, your) pronouns in academic writing unless permitted by the assignment instructions. This paper uses third person (one, this author). In historical writing, use simple past tense verbs, but when referring to an author’s written work, use present tense. 30 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 404. 31 Ibid., 405. https://www-chicagomanualofstyle- org.ezproxy.liberty.edu/book/ed17/part2/ch05/psec118.html https://www-chicagomanualofstyle- org.ezproxy.liberty.edu/book/ed17/part2/ch05/psec130.html https://www-chicagomanualofstyle-
  • 69. org.ezproxy.liberty.edu/book/ed17/part2/ch05/psec130.html 11 Organizing a Paper Using an Outline When writing a paper, students should organize their outline first so that they are able to plan how they will make their argument and then give their reasoning and evidence to support their thesis statement. The first paragraph of each section should explain how this will fit into the author’s reasoning, and then each section will end with a summary of how the evidence has shown such reasoning to be correct. Also, transitions are very helpful at the end of each major section so that the reader anticipates how the next section is connected to the logical progression of the reasoning the author uses to support his or her thesis. Liberty University undergraduate papers will generally be less than ten or twelve pages and most will not use subheading levels or a contents page at all (unless specified in the instructions); most Liberty University graduate and doctoral
  • 70. research papers will be no longer than twenty pages and generally will not have long and detailed outlines or subheadings beyond the third level.32 Details that would be appropriate for the fourth or fifth heading level tend to distract the reader’s attention from the overall thesis within a short essay (typically fewer than 20 pages). Even if a fourth level is unavoidable, a fifth level is discouraged. Quotations and Paraphrases All content gleaned from another source will be presented as either a quote or a paraphrase. A paraphrase means that the original wording has been change sufficiently into the student’s own words while keeping the same meaning (not simply just rearranging the order of the words or replacing only a few of them); a direct quote means that the words are used verbatim, which requires quotation marks. Both require a citation with a page number to the 32 Papers with ten to nineteen pages in the body are recommended to include subheadings and a contents page; those with twenty pages or more are required to do so; the
  • 71. instructions will specify what is required. 12 original source. Quotes with four or fewer lines of text in the student’s paper will be incorporated into the text of the paragraph, as has been demonstrated herein (such as the bottom of the first paragraph on page ten). Quotes that span five lines or more, however, must be block quoted. Blocked quotations are single-spaced with one blank line before and after each excerpt, and the entire left margin of the block quote is indented one half-inch. No quotation marks are used when using a blocked quotation, but do use them if it contains an internal quote. Turabian requires blocked quotes to be introduced in the writer’s own words.33 For example, Jackson evokes the supremacy of home: Housing is an outward expression of the inner human nature; no society can be fully understood apart from the residences of its members. A nineteenth-century melody
  • 72. declares, “There’s no place like home,” and even though she had Emerald City at her feet, Dorothy could think of no place she would rather be than at home in Kansas. Our home are our havens from the world.34 Citations All content that is taken from another source must include a citation, whether direct- quoted or paraphrased. Though Turabian allows two forms of citing sources in the body of a paper, this sample paper focuses exclusively on the notes- bibliography style. Chapters 16 and 17 of the Turabian manual focus on these elements (Chapter 14 in the CMOS). The “N” denotes (foot)notes, and the “B” denotes bibliography entries. Be sure to use the correct format for each since there are some variances between them for each resource. Notably, the first/only author’s name is inverted (i.e., last name first) in bibliography entries, but not in notes.35 33 Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 361.

Insert one space after the superscript number before the first word of the footnote.36 The footnotes should be single-spaced, and there should be a single blank space between (or 12-pt. line space after) each footnote.37 Font within the footer should be 10 point (the OWC recommends Times New Roman, 10-pt.).
  • 74. There is one notable exclusion to notes formatting that most Liberty University students will encounter. The version or translation of the Bible being used must be identified in the text with a parenthetical reference (e.g., 1 Cor 1:13, ESV).38 If an author chooses to use the same Bible translation (such as the English Standard Version) throughout the paper, he or she should add a footnote in the first usage stating, “Unless otherwise noted, all biblical passages referenced are in the English Standard Version.” This means that that author will not need to reference the version of the Bible in subsequent citations unless he or she changes the version (otherwise, each citation must also include a footnote entry crediting the source). For example, if the student identified the English Standard Version as the primary version but chose to use the New International Version (NIV) when quoting a particular verse such as John 14:6, the parenthetical citation following the passage would be (John 14:6, NIV). 36 This rule is specific to Liberty University. In standard Turabian, the footnote number is not superscripted,

An example of each of the major types of footnoted resources is included herein for sample purposes. Note that writers would only include footnotes and bibliography entries for resources whose content was actually used in supporting the author’s position in a paper. Note also that author names are never inverted in notes. These samples that follow are for illustration purposes only, and each source footnoted herein is also included in the bibliography section.
