PLSC 102 Term Paper on Political Ideologies The purpose of this assignment, according to Thomas Jefferson: “Difference of opinion leads to inquiry, and inquiry to truth.” Check the list on Blackboard to see which issue of the following issues you’ve been assigned. Illegal Immigration, Stem Cell Research, Affirmative Action, or US Foreign Aid (only non-military aid). After getting your assigned issue from the list on Blackboard, address the following in at least 6-7 typed pages. You will need to use your lecture notes on the ideological spectrum, and outside research. In addition to books and journals, the following online databases will help you locate opposing views and recent laws/court decisions: Britannica Online, the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center, ProQuest and LexisNexis (newspaper and newsmagazine searches), and the CQ Researcher. These and other MiraCosta databases can be accessed for free at MCC libraries or at home (using your Surf password). Simply click on “Library” on the MCC website, and then click on “All Online Databases” under “Online Resources.” You should start your research with your textbooks (check the index), Britannica Online (or another trustworthy encyclopedia), and the Opposing Viewpoints database. Then, after you have a better understanding of your issue, you can move on to other specific sources such as newspaper and journal articles, newsmagazines such as Newsweek and Time, websites for political parties and other sources. You will need to use at least 8 different sources for your paper other than your course textbooks. At least three of your sources must be something other than websites (i.e articles, books, etc). If you can find a source in print, but you choose to get it online (like a newspaper article from LATimes.com), it does not count as a website source. All sources must be cited in the paper and listed in a separate bibliography (citation format described below). The paper must be double-spaced, with size 12 Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and your name, class, and date in the header (not in the body of the paper – click View-->Header&Footer). Do not use any cover pages or folders – only a staple in the upper left corner. Your paper must be in essay format (no outlines). Do not include an introduction or conclusion. Points will be deducted for spelling and grammatical errors, and for deviations from the format described below. Section 1: Describe how contemporary American liberals approach this issue. You will need to provide an objective, unbiased description, so that most liberals would agree with what you have written. Specifically, a) Describe their beliefs about this issue – are they in favor, opposed? More importantly, what arguments do they give to support their position? b) Describe the specific changes they propose to address this issue. You will need to research and describe several policies or ideas for reform, including recent laws (state and federa.

HIS 100 Topic Exploration WorksheetPart 1Select a research t.docx

HIS 100 Topic Exploration Worksheet Part 1 Select a research topic area for Project 1 based on which of the following areas interests you the most. You will explore the selected topic a little later in this theme. Mark your selection in the right-hand column. Topic Selection Drafting of the U.S. Constitution x Mao Zedong’s Rule Over China South African Apartheid Choose Your Own Topic (insert pre-approved topic here) In the space below, replace the bracketed text with a short paragraph about what you already knew prior to this course about the topic you selected, based on your personal history or experiences. This may include assumptions, beliefs, or values related to the topic. Be as detailed as possible. The drafting of the U.S. Constitution began on 5/25/1787 when the Constitutional Convention met for the first time in Pennsylvania. The Convention ended on 9/17/1787. The Constitution was made of seven articles, twenty-seven amendments, and the major Principles of Government embodied in the Constitution. It is signed eleven years after the Declaration of Independence. It is not one of the founding documents of America. This important document guaranteed basic rights for every citizen. One of the most remembered amendments is the thirteenth due to the abolish of slavery. Part 2 Now that you have identified your topic and described what you already know about the topic, what questions do you still have about the topic? Replace the bracketed text with your answers. Question Response Identify one question about the topic that you are curious about. Why was the Constitution written? Describe why this question matters to you personally. It affects my right of freedom of speech and the right to vote. I can go to any church I choose. I can also own a firearm. Describe why this question matters to society. It dived power among the government and the states. Identify a second question about the topic you are curious about. Should the President of the United States have absolute power? Describe why this question matters to you personally. This would matters to me personally because if the President has complete control then he would have control over our electronic communications; including financial records. Describe why this question matters to society. The U.S. is in Danger. Insufficient government. Institutional reform is the challenge and the nation’s success in meeting it will determine out future as a nation. Part 3 You are now ready to complete the final part of your Topic Exploration Worksheet. You have chosen a topic, posed some research questions, and are ready to start thinking about what kind of sources you will need to investigate your research questions further. Using the library guide in the Shapiro Library provided for your chosen topic, skim through the suggested resources (or find your own) and replace the bracketed text with relevant information about your research questions. Question Response Which secondary sources woul.

Essay 1 – World Literature Directions Reflect on the rea.docx

russelldayna

Essay 1 – World Literature Directions: Reflect on the readings, and choose one (1) of the prompts below. Full credit will be given only to those papers that follow the prescribed essay format and that cite relevant textual evidence. Additionally, proofread the essay before submitting it, and comply with other general guidelines on the Blackboard page: 1. Examine the role of women in early East Asian literature. Compare and/or contrast key social customs and perceptions with those that appear in the Enlightenment period texts you have read. 2. Argue for or against the similarities between the contemporary #MeToo climate and the socio- political contexts for any of the writers we have read. 3. Reflect on the significance mid-1700s authors attributed to rationality, and write a satirical treatise to your peer group, advocating that they either should or should not adopt Enlightenment principles. (Remember that satire is an exaggerated comedic convention, so your intention will be obvious in blatant contradictions. Additionally, you must still adhere to the essay format and cite textual evidence.) 4. Write a letter to President Trump either congratulating or lambasting him for the ways his key political positions/practices do or do not echo core early Enlightenment principles. .

American Military University HIST102 – United States History since 1877 Prof. Brian Mark Weber, M.A. Updated August 2015 Writing Assignment 1 and 2 This document contains important information regarding the Writing Assignment 1 and Writing Assignment 2. The papers will be submitted through the “Assignments” area of the classroom (upload the paper as a Word document and submit). Please contact me immediately if you are unclear about these requirements. The purpose of this assignment is to choose three important people or events in American history through the readings of weeks 1-4 (writing assignment 1) or weeks 5-8 (writing assignment 2.) You have some flexibility with this assignment. For example, you can write about three important acts that the British imposed which caused the colonists to seek independence against the mother country. Or, you could write about three important events during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson. Contact your instructor if you need guidance regarding a topic. The assignment asks you to find a minimum of two academically credible sources (one may be your textbook), develop a clear, focused thesis statement, and to support your thesis with clear, insightful, consistent writing. This assignment will enhance your research and writing skills, both of which are applicable not only to this course but to many different careers. You may include your own opinions and ideas as long as they reflect a solid understanding of the reading material. For example, if you write about the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, feel free to include your opinion as to how his ideas made the country stronger, freer, or more prosperous, but your primary focus should be an analysis of the factual information that you have utilized to support your thesis and main ideas. Your ideas must be supported by information from your sources since you are using these sources to prove your thesis. After all, the purpose of a research paper is to make a case and to convince the reader that your writing and research supports your thesis. Whether you quote information directly from your sources, or paraphrase, you must cite your sources generously to give credit to the sources and to avoid plagiarism. You may utilize one of two citation methods in your essay (depending on which method you are most familiar): MLA or Chicago/Turabian. Your instructor will post links to web sites that contain more specific information about utilizing these methods. Your paper must contain a cover page, an introduction paragraph, three body paragraphs (one paragraph for each of your three people/events) and a conclusion paragraph. The paper length is about 3 pages, double-spaced. A separate document in the Resources section of the classroom is a sample student essay. Please refer to this document to get a visual representation of what your essay should look like. During the two weeks befo.

WRITING ADVICEPromptIn 6-8 pages develop an argument.docx

troutmanboris

WRITING ADVICE Prompt In 6-8 pages develop an argument about the key factors determining successful presidential leadership in the modern era (FDR forward). Your argument should be deeply rooted in the scholarly literature on the presidency. Develop your argument in more detail by exploring two cases where a president attempted to provide leadership in some way. The cases that you select should be narrow (e.g. FDR and the passage of the Social Security Act rather than FDR and the New Deal). Prompt (cont.) You only have a few short pages to discuss each case and it is better to be an inch wide and a mile deep than a mile wide and an inch deep. I think that the easiest way to do this would be to choose a policy or action widely viewed as a historical success and another that is widely viewed as a historical failure (e.g. Truman’s Marshall Plan and Nixon’s invasion of Cambodia). However, you do not need to follow this mold. You could also compare two successes or two failures. Prompt (cont.) In the development of your mini-case studies, you should draw heavily from the Green Library’s large collection of newspapers (available online). For each case, you should be citing from The New York Times and other online newspaper databases from the week surrounding the event. This will help give your cases much more depth. I also encourage you to find other supplemental sources like presidential biographies, journal articles, academic books, primary documents, and oral histories about the actual event to bolster What do you need? A theory of presidential leadership developed from the scholarly literature • Two interesting cases that you’ll analyze in light of that theory Developing a theory Look for books and articles about presidential leadership • Look for useful references in the “suggested readings” section of your textbook • Where do you start? http://library.fiu.edu • Search books for “presidential leadership” or other important key terms that you might be interested in • Sign in from off campus to have access to articles (“Log in for Access” on the yellow toolbar) • Go to “Find > A-Z List > G > Google Scholar” to make your way to Google Scholar from off campus What about the cases? Explore the appendix in Greenstein (233-274) • Read newspapers from the time • Produce copies or directly transcribe into a Word document with the information that you will need for citations and references • “Blah, blah, blah... Marshall Plan...” (Greg A. Halpriggs, “The Marshall Plan,” NY Times, March 27th, 1948, Section A-11, Paragraph 4). Not an actual citation or reference (just the info you will eventually need) • Look for scholarly works on the cases in the same way that you did for your theory Organization Write a strong thesis statement that clearly elaborates your main argument and organizes your paper: • Ex. “Ultimately, the paper contends that the failure of President Nixon’s invasion of Cambod.

What is an Exploratory PaperExploratory Argument In explorat.docx

alanfhall8953

What is an Exploratory Paper? Exploratory Argument: In exploratory essays, the writer (you) explores three sources that take a position on a controversial issue. All three sources can take the same side of the issue or two can take the same side and one can be on the other side of the issue. For example, take this issue: “Should there be stricter copyright penalties on the Internet? For instance, all three sources explored may argue that once a person uploads a photograph on, for example, flickr.com, it becomes public domain and no copyright laws should apply. The sources explored will argue on the same side of the issue, they all answer the issue question: yes. Yet, they will present evidence that will align with their different perspectives. For example, one source may take a legal perspective and the evidence will come from legal sources; another source may take a psychological perspective and their evidence to support their position will come from psychological studies, etc. In addition, the sources must come from a variety of secondary sources: scholarly journals, magazines, and/or newspapers, and the sources cannot be all Websites. The Purpose In the exploratory paper, the writer identifies three sources that take the same side of the issue; this means, for each source, their thesis statements/claims are the same. In order to help the reader (students, instructor) understand each source’s argument, the writer, (you) will include a brief 2-3 sentence summary for each source that includes the writer’s thesis/claim and the reasons provided to support his or her perspective. Also, this will include an analysis of how well the reasons and evidence support their position and their perspective. This requires specific references from the work in the form of direct quotations. This last part is important. Your own opinions are not expressed at all. This is not an argument paper. Advantages to Writing an Exploratory Paper Exploratory papers have a number of advantages. When you view an issue from many perspectives, you gain a greater depth of understanding of it and the various views taken. Also, exploratory papers provide mutual understanding and common ground for you next stage in argument: writing your own argument paper. These sources can be used to support your side to an issue or they may be used as an opposing view to your own position. After exploring sources on an issue, you learn about the other positions on this controversial issue. How to Write the Exploratory Paper The exploratory framework appears on eCompanion in the folder marked: “Exploratory Paper Assignment.” This handout basically lays out the format for each body paragraph. Also, there is a student sample essay that explores the issue: Should biotechnology be banned in U.S. sports? All three sources in this paper take the same side of this issue and argue that biotechnology basically destroys honest competition, but they approach and support thei.

Unit 4 Essay Instructions Partisan PoliticsIntroductionAt the t.docx

lauvicuna8dw

Unit 4 Essay Instructions: Partisan Politics Introduction At the time of ratification of the U.S. Constitution, the new American nation of the early nineteenth century found its citizens divided in their political views. Those who favored a strong central government and thus a restriction of the powers possessed by the states belonged to the Federalist Party; those who believed that the Constitution should be interpreted so as to limit the power of the national government, thus giving additional power to the states, joined the Republican Party. The Federalists, therefore, espoused a nationalistic view; the Republicans, though they would not deny the efficacy of a national government, believed that definite rights should be reserved to the states. This activity will help you better understand how ideals embraced at the time of the nation’s founding still effect contemporary American society as well as help you develop skills in critical thinking and organization. (Meets Course Objectives: 7, 9, and 12) Primary Sources Debate on the First National Bank, Select Documents Illustrative of the History of the United States, ed. William MacDonald (1905), p. 76-98. Alien and Sedition Acts or 1798, Select Documents Illustrative of the History of the United States, ed. William MacDonald (1905), p. 137-148. Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, Select Documents Illustrative of the History of the United States, ed. William MacDonald (1905), p. 148-160. Directions This is a two-part activity: (1) You must write an essay explaining the political philosophy of either the Federalists OR the Republicans and (2) You must participate in a follow up discussion addressing the questions listed below. PLEASE NOTE: The Federalist and the Republican Parties only emerged after George Washington became president; they are not the same thing as the Federalists and the anti-Federalists who debated the ratification of the new Constitution in 1787 and 1788. Moreover, this paper is not about the debate over the ratification of the Constitution, but about how and why national leaders broke into two political factions (or parties) as the Washington and Adams administrations sought to deal with domestic and foreign policy issues. So when addressing the Constitution, you should be thinking about the role the “necessary and proper clause” and the Tenth Amendment played in how these parties viewed the Constitution. Part 1: Essay For your essay, you must read the primary sources listed above and examine them for a Federalist OR a Republican point of view. Then you must write an essay explaining on the political philosophy of ONE of these parties. Focus Question: Your essay should address the following questions: What did the party believe about the role of the government and why did they adopt these views? Format: Your essay should have an introduction, supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion. The introduction should present your thesis (i.e., your answer to the questi.

We’ve talked in class about the great American paradox. On one hand,.docx

loganta

We’ve talked in class about the great American paradox. On one hand, you have the language of freedom, most famous of all being Jefferson’s proclamation that “All men are created equal.” On the other hand, however, you have the institution of slavery. These types of contradictions are oftentimes what is so controversial about American history. Which part should we focus on? What is the truth? This debate comes up all the time, most recently in debates about what to do with certain monuments of men who often embodied in many ways the contradictions of the country. Do we, for instance, tear down a statue of Thomas Jefferson or do we keep it up? I have attached two short readings on elearn (“Is it still okay to venerate George Washington and Thomas Jefferson” and “Charlottesville: Why Jefferson Matters”). Both respond to the protests in Charlottesville that took place in 2017 and specifically the altercations that took place near a statue of Thomas Jefferson on the campus of the University of Virginia. For this paper, I want you to engage with these debates. The paper does not necessarily have to be a conventional paper with a thesis statement and that sort of thing. It does need to have two parts, however; other than that, though, you can organize it any way you like. For “Part One” of your paper, you need to summarize the articles. What are the authors’ main points? This should be specific and detailed. For “Part Two,” you should offer up some analysis of whether you agree with the articles or not. In this part, you’ll want to try to make some connections from class to the issue at hand. In class, we have discussed several readings that deal with the dual themes of freedom and slavery (“Effia”, “A Mercy”, and “Thomas Jefferson dreams of Sally Hemings”). How have these readings helped you to think about the issues involving the statues? Making a connection between class and what they are talking about in these articles is a very important part of the paper. The paper should be 2-5 pages. You do not need a worked cited page or anything like that. You also are not encouraged to consult outside sources for the essay. This paper is all about your own analysis and your own opinions ...
