This essay assignment challenges you to express comprehension, application, and evaluation of the laws prohibition on punishing status as a crime. As described in more detail below, the assignment asks you to explain how the law defines status as distinct from conduct, and how courts have applied that definition in different cases. Next the assignment asks you to apply the law to a different hypothetical scenario. In doing so, you will be challenged to think critically about the underlying reasons for why the law prevents punishing status as a crime. Begin by reviewing the cases of Robinson v. California [Robinson] and Powell v. Texas [Powell] in your book. Also read the shortened version of the recent case, Martin v. City of Boise [Martin], that I have provided below. You do not need to do any additional reading, and you should not cite any outside sources in your essay. The assignment here is focused on critical thinking and writing about the source provided not on outside research.
Your answer should clearly state what part of the Constitution the courts relied upon, specify exactly what was being punished as a crime in each case, and explain the difference between status and conduct. Your answer should explain what features of the Martin case made the Court of Appeals see Martin more like Robinson than like Powell.In the second part of your essay, consider the following hypothetical scenario.Imagine there is a town called Poise that is exactly the same as the City of Boise described in Martin, except the city has 10 homeless shelters that have more than enough beds for all the homeless people in the city. All the shelters in Poise, however, turn away homeless people if they fail a breathalyzer test for alcohol or a urine test for narcotics. If you were a judge, would you rule that the Camping and Disorderly Conduct statutes in Poise violate the Constitution as they did in Boise?Why or why not?Then explain what you think is the best counterargument to your position that the other side could make, and respond to that counterargument.

A9: Genre Writing on a Ballot Question – Long Form
Knowing what a genre is used for can help people to accomplish goals (Dirk 253).Please compose a persuasive message that encourages a particular audience to vote the same way you would on your chosen ballot question. Choose the audience you will write for as well as the genre you will write in. The genre of your message should suit your purpose and should be appropriate for the audience you are writing to. In fact, depending on who your audience is, you may need to encourage them to vote in the first place. Be sure to make choices about which parts of your position statement you can adapt for your current rhetorical situation. First consider WHO you want to write to. In real life, we rarely write something without caring who the audience is. For this assignment, consider who may care about the particular ballot question you have chosen. Or consider someone who doesnt plan to vote and who know nothing about the ballot question? You may think of someone you care about and who you want to engage in a discussion with. Be sure it is a specific person/people and not a general voter. You should adhere to the conventions of a particular genre, so choose a genre that you have some familiarity with: email, letter, blog, opinion/editorial (op-ed) piece, pamphlet, speech or another one of your choosing. Be sure to imagine your audience as you write. What is the best way to talk to them?
This assignment asks you to communicate to someone (a friend, relative, teacher, classmate etc.) and to explain your thinking. Your purpose is to persuade; however, meaningful rhetoric and debate about important issues is an attempt to share ideas and persuade another person/people to see things the way that you do. You goal is not to manipulate. Be a generous writer by composing logical paragraphs, which provide clear and specific ideas/evidence from the Information for Voters booklet or other source texts (remember to tell your reader where you got your information). Dont forget to consider that you have to provide context. You just have to decide how much context to provide. How much context does a reader need? You dont need to explain the question to your dad who is politically active. However, you will have to provide more context to a friend who knows nothing about the ballot question. You must help the reader to understand why the ideas/evidence you discovered impacted you. Source: “Massachusetts Anti Discrimination”

You work for a consulting firm whose primary objective is to help businesses improve their strategic operations. Your firm recently was hired by a newspaper company named Hoosier Media Inc. The client’s print newspaper circulation and subscriptions have declined, resulting in 30% lower revenues over the last five years. Online ad revenues have increased but currently account for just 5% of the company’s revenue. You have been tasked with providing a comprehensive internal and external analysis to help the firm improve its business operations. Create a 700- to 1,050-word analysis that includes the following: Identify economic, legal, and regulatory forces and trends. Critique how well the organization adapts to change. Identify the major issues and/or opportunities the company faces based on your analysis.
Task Objective: Write 500-words on the importance of winning hearts and minds when managing change. Task Description: Numerous studies have shown that up to 90% of all managers treat some subordinates as though they were members of an in-group, while they consign others to membership in an out-group. Members of the in-group are considered the trusted collaborators and therefore receive more autonomy, feedback, and expressions of confidence from their bosses. (Manzoni, J.F. and Barsoux, J.L., 1998.) Discuss this statement in the context of change management. Reference: Manzoni, J.F. and Barsoux, J.L., 1998. The set-up-to-fail syndrome.
