I chose Poland for a few reasons. After watching the movie
Remembrance, which is based on a true story, I realized I share
my last name with the main character. This of course peaked my
interest. So, I began tracing my family’s origins. I know my
father’s family left Poland and traveled to Austria, then came to
the United States, all of which I has been confirmed via
supporting documents. I have even had an ancestry DNA test
conducted to trace and confirm my family’s history. I have
always had an affinity for learning about the history of WWI. It
is because if this and my family history that I decided to write
about Poland. I wanted to know more about present day Poland
and hope to visit this county one day.

Media revamp
Judicial reform threatens democracy
declinging international integration
Explanation of grievances (when you are talking about modern
day governments, you NEED to take into account the Executive,
Legislative and Judicial branches. We are talking about Present
Day not yesteryear.)
Media revamp: “Poland's broadcasting market is the largest in
Eastern and Central Europe and has attracted foreign
investment. There is freedom and diversity of information,
although laws against deriding the nation and its political
6. system are still in force (BBC, 2017).”
“FREEDOM OF SPEECH: POLAND PLOTS RESTRICTIONS
ON FOREIGN MEDIA AND U.S. COMPANIES COULD BE
HIT).”
This is an example of how Poland is declining deeper European
integration and instead
Regulating the media consequently threatens free speech in
Poland. The proposed plan would make the broadcasting chiefs
subservient to the Treasury Minister of Poland. The Treasury
Minister will then regulate foreign company’s present
dominance of media by limiting the broadcasting powers of
foreign companies with cross-platform holdings and market
shares which are seen to produce fake news, bash the Polish
government, and cover unimportant topics (Strzelecki &
Waldoch, 2017).
Judiciary reform: “After a tense debate in parliament,
lawmakers on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly to send the
draft bill on the Supreme Court for more work by a special
parliamentary commission. Opposition legislators have
proposed 1,300 amendments to the draft, which they say
violates the constitution, kills judicial independence and
destroys the democratic principle of the separation of the
judiciary from the executive branch”. (VOA News, 2017).”
judiciary is now under the political control of the ruling
majority.” (Gorka, 2017).
“One of the reforms was the government's move to grant the
president greater powers to appoint judges to the Supreme
Court, whose duties include confirming election results. German
Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel
Macron had publicly agreed to back Article 7 proceedings
against Poland before the Commission’s meeting.
The executive branch of the EU triggered Article 7 of the
7. Lisbon Treaty, popularly known as ‘the nuclear option’. The
procedure could eventually lead to Poland losing its voting
rights in the EU. The European Commission has taken an
unprecedented step in the history of the bloc. This is the first
time an EU member will face legal procedures for non-
compliance with the rules established by Brussels. (Gorka,
2017). Triggering Article 7 can lead to the suspension of a
country's voting rights at the European Council if all 27 other
EU countries agree, but Hungary has said it would veto such as
move.” (
declinging international integration:
“The European Commission has decided to suspend Poland's
voting rights in the EU after two years of dispute over judicial
reforms that Brussels says undermine Polish courts'
independence” (Gorka, 2017).

Explanation of grievances (when you are talking about modern
day governments, you NEED to take into account the Executive,
Legislative and Judicial branches. We are talking about Present
Day not yesteryear.)
Disdain for EU:
Poland's leadership and their roles in regulating the media and
consequently threatening free speech, attempting to change the
judiciary branch, and upsetting the European Union (EU).
Many of these things have led the EU to threaten sanctions
against the Polish government as they see judiciary changes as a
threat to democracy and citizen's rights.
Modifications to the judicial system and allow the Law and
Justice party (PiS) to give ministers he power appoint judges
and supreme court members, hence stacking political power and
influence of the PiS.
The EU seeing this as deliberately undermining due process to
protect human rights and the principles of the EU (The
Guardian, 2017).
The Economy of the European Union as a Whole
Promoting Catholic Social Agenda:
“Finance Minister Morawiecki took over as head of the
conservative Law and Justice party government in December
2017, replacing Beata Szydlo, who moved to the post of deputy
prime minister.
Law and Justice leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski dropped Mrs Szydlo
in what Polish political analysts see as a move to repair the
country's poor relations with the European Union, and prepare
10. the party for a series of elections.
The Western-educated economist Mr Morawiecki has a more
polished manner than his predecessor, but shares her strong
support for Mr Kaczynski's moves to limit the power of the
judiciary, promote a conservative Catholic social agenda, and
oppose European Union demands to accept Muslim refugees.”
(BBC, 2017).

Identity, maybe)
Explanation of grievances (when you are talking about modern
day governments, you NEED to take into account the Executive,
Legislative and Judicial branches. We are talking about Present
Day not yesteryear.)
Fiscal Policy:
A challenge facing Poland's economy in 2016 is the reeling in
of its federal debt, which hovers around 50% of GDP as of
December 2015. Considering the PiS also ran on a platform of
increasing family benefits, lowering taxes on small- and
medium-sized businesses, and lowering the pension age, it is
difficult to see how the budget will be balanced in the short
term. Economic participants are skeptical the PiS can devise
policies that satisfy democratic demands, foster a healthy
environment for business activity and investment, and reel in
the public debt.
NATO ally Poland also hosts a contingent of about 900 U.S.
troops, and has for many years contributed to U.S. and NATO
missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. And it spends more of its
GDP on military expenditures than most of its North Atlantic
Treaty Organization neighbors, a subject Trump publicly
lectured the alliance about during an awkward visit in May.

Assignment Instructions
This week, you will write your third essay. Use the three-part
thesis and five-paragraph essay format you learned during week
two.
Under Week 5 Lessons, we learned about different types of
essays. For your final essay, you may choose from any of these
14. types of essays (except informative, since we have already
written one of those). Also, to make things easier on you, you
may also write about one of the topics you researched in the
MLA/Library Practice forums (weeks four and six).
Here is a thesis example for a "descriptive" essay, in which I
will describe a decade: The 1960s was a greatly controversial
decade due to its fashion, political unrest, and social norms.
You must incorporate research from the APUS library into your
essay. Use two or three sources—no more, no less. Remember
that your essay should be mostly your own writing (~80%) and
approximately 20% source material. This is short essay, so use
short quotes only. I suggest only a line or two of quoted
material in each of your body paragraphs. Don’t forget your
Works Cited page. Extensive MLA help is provided under week
four (Lessons and Resources).
Please do not let anyone else write or revise your writing. My
job is to help you improve YOUR writing. I can only do that if
you let me see your mistakes. I am not interested in how well
someone else writes. I want to help YOU!
(Hint: if you are struggling, there are tutoring opportunities
listed on our Syllabus. This is an appropriate route for acquiring
help with your writing. You may contact me for help anytime
too!)
Download the template and save it as your last name and Essay
3. (Example: Smith_Essay3). The MLA formatting is done for
you (e.g., Times New Roman size 12, double-spaced, header,
etc.). Update your name, your professor’s name, and date. Don’t
forget to put your last name in the header. (Let me know if you
don’t know how to get into the header section or type a question
into your Word help section.)
Your essay should be between 500 and 750 words. Please do not
go under the word count at all. Do not go over the word count
by more than 50 words. Following instructions is an important
part of any writing assignment, and often you will be asked to
adhere to word count guidelines, so this is good practice!
Be sure that all paragraphs are well developed. I suggest 5-8
15. sentences per paragraph and no less than 100 words per
paragraph, including your introduction and conclusion.
(Points saver: as you proof your essay in Word, hit the control
[ctrl] key and the "F" key at the same time. This will bring up
the search feature. Type in what you wish to find, such as the
word you, to be sure you have avoided second person. This
works in finding contractions too. Type in an apostrophe and hit
enter!)
When you “submit” your paper, it will be uploaded
into Turnitin (a plagiarism-detection website) automatically.
You do not have to create a Turnitin account yourself. Both you
and your instructor will receive the results. (The Turnitin report
will be under Assignments and will have a percentage on it, like
22%. Click on the percentage to view your report. Certain parts
of your essay will be highlighted. This shows where you have
used information from an outside source or material that
appears in another student’s essay.)
Why editing photos of women on media platforms should be
banned. (not a ?, need statement)
sociocultural influence impacting young women’s mood and
perceptions of their bodies, particularly through the processes
of physical-appearance comparison.”
Scirrotto Drames, Tara, "The Impact of Internet Social
Networking on Young Women’s Mood and Body Image
Satisfaction: An Experimental Design" (2016). PCOM
Psychology Dissertations. 395.
https://digitalcommons.pcom.edu/psychology_dissertations/395
(Introduction)
As humans, we learn from what we see and hear. Hence it is
fair to say that our perception of the world helps define us. The
media’s depiction of women has a strong sociocultural influence
which impacts the perceptions women have of their bodies and
drives them to extraordinary lengths to obtain the ideal body.
Only five percent of American women naturally possess the
“ideal” body type depicted in American media ("11 Facts About
16. Body Image"). This precedence sets unrealistic standards and
unattainable body figures for women. Improving one’s outward
appearance to satisfy the objectification of society has led
women to decrease their image of self, make faddish dietary
changes, and resort to drastic measures to change their body
shape.
(second paragraph)
Certainly, the mental strain of not meeting expectations is
exhaustive. It is hard for young American women to escape the
media’s portrayal of women. Magazine covers, television
commercials, store catalogs, and social media pages all depict
altered images of women. By age 17, girls will have seen
approximately 250,000 television commercials signifying to
them that they “should be a decorative object, sex object,” or a
have a waist size which they can never achieve (AVE5159
2015). The influence of seeing such images and not meeting the
media’s standards takes a toll on a female’s confidence. The
need to improve one’s self to an unattainable standard creates a
vicious cycle. Body dysmorphic disorder can develop, which
can be described as “a distressing and impairing preoccupation
with an imagined or slight defect in appearance” (Phillips &
Crino 2001).
The combination of meeting visual cultural expectations and
reaching consciousness
The prominence of computer modified versions of photos in the
media are responsible for much of the American societies’
perceptions of beauty and the ideal body shape. The media
established a specific look and model standard. Presently, that
look is along the lines of a thin waist, thigh gap, full lips, no
wrinkles, and pearl white teeth, and long hair. Even the all-
natural or no make-up claims of some celebrities have been
found false, using products of more natural color scales to
produce the “clean” look.
The grave majority of beauty ad campaigns are aimed at a
17. specific demographic, women. Ads ranging from spot
correctors, wrinkle reducers, lip and lash enhancers, countless
serums and creams, are all targeted towards women. While diet
pills are for both genders, numerous pills and adds. A simple
web image search of diet pill ads will yield results depicting
women rather than men on averaging of ten to one (Google
search).
drastic measures to change their body shape:
“There is a commonly held view that eating disorders are a
lifestyle choice. Eating disorders are actually serious and often
fatal illnesses that cause severe disturbances to a person’s
eating behaviors. Obsessions with food, body weight, and shape
may also signal an eating disorder. Common eating disorders
include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating
disorder.” (“Eating Disorders“)
