The Transition from Unsustainable to Sustainable Food Production and Future Direction

Topic: Transition from unsustainable to sustainable food production and future direction Step 1. Write an essay, which is well supported with the literature, on one of the food industries of your choice such as: crop/livestock/dairy/horticulture etc. Step 2. The assignment should address past and current practices (unsustainable and sustainable) being followed in both developing and developed countries for the selected industry. Step 3. You should include at least one practical/well demonstrated example each from developing and developed countries as part of your argument to support the unsustainable and sustainable transitions you are explaining. This suggests that you are looking for some supportive data from the literature to support your analysis for the industry. Step 4. Write a reflective piece paragraph (no references for this section) to predict best sustainable farming practices for the food industry selected for your assignment in step 1 and your vision for the future (Thinking out of box).

Serving the Nation: A Universal Call Israel requires all of its young men to serve three years of mandatory military service. The Israeli Defense Force drafts women, too, but not for combat positions. Sweden does not have a professional army. Instead, a

In this assignment, you will be utilizing all of the various tools, knowledge and techniques you have been acquiring in this course. You will be preparing a critical essay (ca. 800-1000 words) examining an argumentative essay, which will be due before the end of day on Tuesday, November 13. The piece you will be examining is: Serving the Nation – A Universal Call.docx On pp. 209-210, Bassham discusses the nature and content of a critical essay. Please look at this bit of text very carefully. Then, on pp. 219-224, Bassham provides an example of a (less than stellar!) argumentative essay "In Defense of Cheating" and a sample essay by himself critiquing it (which is also less than stellar.) In these sample essays, Bassham is not seeking (and certainly not achieving!) elegance. Rather, he is deliberately displaying the structure of such an essay, showing its "skeleton" so to speak. I would like you to do the same in your essay. You are to show me you understand what such an essay IS and how it’s constructed, and demonstrate your skill in analyzing an argumentative essay utilizing the various tools we have been sharpening in the preceding units. But: instead of utilizing Bassham’s argument-standardization technique from Chapter 7, I would like you to lay out (your reading of) the line of argument in "Enhanced Standard Form" as explained in the Guides to Units 4s and 5s and the ESF Manual posted in Unit 5. Please include your outline directly in you essay. The piece you will be examining is "Serving the Nation: A Universal Call" (attached here.) Consideration of some of the following questions may help in in preparing your critique: What is the (best statement of the) overarching conclusionthe piece (= the thesis)? What are the different main arguments (and sortsof arguments) the author makes for his conclusion? Can you find (or generate) a (few) general claims/headings under which you can organize most of the arguments/premises/evidence? (Cf. the discussion of this in the Unit 6 Guide.) Do these arguments support the conclusion dependently or independently? Do you understand the information in the first paragraph to be an actual component of the line of argument, or merely background information? If the former, what sort of argument is it? Do you find anything fallacious here? If, however, it is a legitimate (part of the) argument: why so? What, EXACTLY, do the arguments really count for: military TRAINING, military SERVICE, or both (or neither), or something else again (e.g. mandatory ROTC, mandatory Civil Defense training/duty?) (Do you find any important differences between these things?) The main (part of the) line of argument (4th paragraph) is intended as PROBLEM-SOLVING. What problems – exactly – are being addressed? Are they clearly defined in enough specificity? Are the problems real, serious and correctly identified? Would the proposed solution actually (help to) solve the problems? Why or why not? Might there be better (i.e. cheaper, more efficient, more focused, less intrusive) means to achieve the same ends? For those parts of the arguments not directly addressing the problem-solving aspect: do they contribute to supporting/legitimizing the proposed conclusion? If so, in what ways? Are there any rebuttal premises/arguments in the piece? If so, what are the (possible) objection(s) being rebutted? Do you think the piece succeeds in achieving this? What OTHER possible objections might be made? Some thoughts: WHY do you think the author includes the "patriotic obligation" point? Might it be intended to rebut some [unidentified] objection? Might the real function of the first paragraph be to rebut some (unnamed) objection? If so, what might it be?) Your ESF-outline will help you in answering these questions, but – in turn – answering some of these questions should also help you fine-tune your outline. So feel free to edit/revise/refine your outline as you go. I suggest numbering the paragraphs in the Serving piece for easy reference in your essay. Please attach your critical essay as a WORD document to this assignment page.
