  • POTUS memo

    $7.00

    Introduction

    This project is an opportunity to discuss what you think should be the highest priority (national interest) in the future of American foreign policy. Completing this activity is a mandatory component of this course. It serves as the standard course assessment for all GOVT 2305 students.Failure to submit this project in its entirety will result in a failing grade for the course.There are three steps to completing this project.

    Step 1: Identify the issue and how the US government is currently addressing it. Then, identify strategies that could be used to improve those efforts.

    Step 2: Gather three scholarly research articles that address the issue you selected and offer suggestions for improvement.

    Step 3: Prepare a formal policy memo for the President of the United States (POTUS). This is the only part of the project you will turn in.

    The grading standards used to assess the quality of your work for this project will be detailed in a grading rubric, which will be provided during the semester.

    It is strongly suggested that student read ahead and use the library database during the first week of the course to begin researching a topic. This project requires carefully planning throughout the semester. Refer to the course calendar for the specific due date. The final product is to be submitted as a single file via the submission guidelines identified by the instructor.

    Step 1 – Identifying the Issue

    A.Throughout chapter 14 of the textbook, you will find traditional methods and core issues used to create theforeign policy agenda. Use this information as a starting point for identifying the subject of your own research.

    B.Next, identify a single issue that you feel should be the highest priority in American foreign policy and specifically how the nation should go about pursuing that policy.

    Step 2 – Gathering Sources

    A.Find three high-quality reference materials(articles published in an academic journal) using the following criteria:

    • The article must be no more than ten years old, a minimum of five pages in length, and should meet the standards of college level material.
    • Carefully choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic.
    • Newspaper articles, magazine articles, textbooks and items of the like are considered “supplemental sources” on the collegiate level and are not quality research materials.
    • Dictionaries, Encyclopedias (including Wikipedia), Almanacs, or an Atlas are reference materials andshould not be listedin any works cited page on the collegiate level.
    • Properly document your sources in your memo and on a works cited page.

    Step 3 – The Memo

    A.Your paper should quickly explain how the President can take your advice and put it into action.He is a busy man, so keep it short and to the point.

    B.This document should quickly articulate (in 2-3 paragraphs) the relevance of the issue, your policy position (citing the supporting evidence) and conclude with a suggested course of action.

    C.The memo is to be 1.5 – 2 full pages in length using single spacing (using the formal formatting protocols for a memo). No more and no less is necessary for this activity. If you need help with the formatting, simply do a web search to find a style guide. Failure to meet the minimum writing requirement will result in a zero for the entire assignment (no partial credit will be awarded as this is a formal institutional assessment).

    D.Finally, add a cover page to the front of the document and include the works cited page at the end.

  • The Federal Shutdown

    $20.00

    Topic Discussion

    As we all know the US government recently went into a federal government shutdown. The shutdown began on October 1, the end of

    the fiscal year for the national government. In a capsule the shutdown

    resulted from Republicans and Democrats being unable to agree on a spending plan for the fiscal year, resulting in a federal coffer.

    Given the recent shutdown, I would like you to address the following issues in your paper:

    • What issues that led up to the shutdown (i.e., Obamacare, the national debt ceiling, )
    • Identify the major players in the battle and the positions they supported, the role of the public in the battle
    • The role of the Presidential and Congressional action or thereof during the shutdown
    • How was the shutdown ended on October 16, 2013
    • The consequences of the shutdown and what legislative action is required to avoid another shutdown in the near future

    These are just broad issues that I would like to be covered in the paper and are not exclusive. I recommend you use your analytical skills and personal opinions in addressing these issues. In addition, if you feel that there are other issues that need to be addressed that were not include in the above listed categories, please feel free to address them in your paper.

    Paper Requirements

    This will be a formal research paper, therefore, you will be required to provide a biography of every source used and include endnotes. Please use your best discretion in citing a resource in your paper. As wonderful as Wikipedia is, I DO NOT want that website to be the major source of your information. I know that this is a recent issue, so most of your resources will be from the Internet, but please include your personal opinions within the paper.

    The paper must be in the following format:

    • 12 ft TIMES NEW ROMAN, black font
    • 5 page minimum (not including the title and bibliography pages)
    • 1-­‐inch margins
    • Double-­‐spaced

  • Analysis of twentieth-century immigrants experiences in response to Crevecoeur’s vision of America

    $12.00

    PAPER1: ANALYZING TWENTIETH-CENTURY IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCES IN RESPONSE TO CRÈVECOEUR’S VISION OFAMERICA

    PURPOSE:

    In this class, you will be reading and writing about a variety of sources, which we can classify according to the following broad categories (BEAT):

    • Background sources:Background sources will present facts and background information about the material we are studying. You may use background sources to help you support your analyses of exhibit sources.
    • *Exhibit sources:Exhibit sources are the primary texts under analysis in your papers. For our course, your exhibit sources will be the literary works (short stories, poems, novel…) that we are studying in class. All of your major papers will focus on exhibit sources.
    • Argument sources:Argument sources will make arguments about those exhibit sources. You will find yourself agreeing or disagreeing with argument sources, and assessing whether or not those argument sources are useful for analyzing your exhibit sources. Because your paper assignments are argument based, your own papers also function as argument sources.
    • Theory sources:Theory sources will present general theories (not proven fact) that are not necessarily about your specific exhibit sources, but may nevertheless be applicable to, and help you analyze, your exhibit sources.

      This first paper assignment asks you to enter into an academic conversation already in progress by analyzing a single exhibit source in response to an argument source. This assignment will also allow you to implement the three-part introduction structure (common ground > problem/question > claim/response), which will help you to clarify the issue at stake in your essay and solidify your position.

      TASKS:

      As discussed in class, Crèvecoeur’s “Letter III: What Is an American?”, although written in 1782 following his own immigration to America, introduces the modern concepts of the American Dream (67, 70, 80, 89-90) and of America as a melting pot (68, 70), forming the author’s perspective on America as a land of equal opportunity for all—a perspective that remains common in the hopeful minds of American immigrants. Unfortunately, the America they encounter upon arriving does not always conform to that preconceived ideal, for a variety of reasons. For this assignment, you will form a claim in response to the following question:How do the twentieth-century immigrant experiences from our course readings echo and/or problematize and/or reject Crèvecoeur’s eighteenth-century vision of America as a land of equal opportunity?Please select one of the following exhibit sources to analyze in response to the question above: either Mohr’s “The English Lesson” (short story), Baca’s “Immigrants in Our Own Land” (poem), or Malamud’s “The German Refugee” (short story). Your paper should be850-1050 words(roughly 3-4 pages long), not counting your Works Cited page. Please format and cite using MLA style.

      In your paper, you will need to do the following, although not necessarily in this particular order:

    • Summarize your exhibit source.This will be necessary both in your introduction (briefly) and

      throughout your main body paragraphs as you introduce passages from the text to analyze. Consider important elements of your exhibit source, such as genre (short story or poem?), type of narrative, narrator’s point of view, setting, ethnicity/ethnicities portrayed, primary themes, etc. (refer to our “Important Terms” handout)

    • Summarize Crèvecoeur’s views of America in “Letter III.”Remember that you are summarizing Crèvecoeur’s perspective for the purpose of analyzing your selected exhibit source to shed light on the immigrant experiences depicted. Focus only on elements from Crèvecoeur’s letter that will be most useful/relevant to your analysis.

    WR100 F1: Coming to America Yoder

    • Argue whether or not your exhibit source conforms to Crèvecoeur’s view of America (and “an American”) and why/how. Your argument will be based on information gleaned via the narrator, character portrayals, ideas/concepts/themes presented, literary devices, etc. The reasons for your claim (why/how) will be explicated, analyzed, and illustrated through selections of passages/quotes (evidence) from your exhibit source, primarily, and also from your argument source.

    • Analyze the exhibit source you have chosen. You should analyze the ways in which your story or poem coincides with and/or diverges from Crèvecoeur’s depiction of America in 1782. There will logically be many differences, simply as a matter of time/development/evolution over the course of 200 years; it is important to acknowledge this, but don’t be so quick to reject the presence of Crèvecoeur’s ideas completely from your exhibit source. Also pay attention to evolving perspectives of the American Dream, the melting pot, equal opportunity, etc. in your exhibit source, and what that signifies regarding the immigrant experience. Use specific passages/quotes from your exhibit source to guide your analysis and focus your discussion.

  • Pennsylvania System

    $7.50

    One of the first prison systems was called the Pennsylvania System. The ideology of this system was used in the Eastern State Penitentiary in the early 1800s. This system had very definite ideas on how a prison should be organized and managed. The operation of this prison was based on the following 5 general principles (Clear, Cole, & Reisig, 2006):

    1. Do not treat prisoners harshly, but instruct them that hard and selective forms of suffering could change their lives.
    2. Solitary confinement will prevent further corruption.
    3. Offenders should reflect on their transgressions and repent.
    4. Solitary confinement is considered punishment.
    5. Solitary confinement is economical.

    Who actually formed these ideas? Expand upon the ideas of the 5 general principles. Why do you think they were implemented? How did it have an effect upon the prisoners? Has this basically changed—why or why not?
