Next, find a relatively recent news article (within the past year) to support your finding (the news search feature in Google is helpful with this). If you cannot find an article specific to your example, you may find an article about another similar good or service. Summarize the article and its findings, then include the URL in your discussion post.
so basically this is like a book that i have to read and explain a passage regarding three questions from the book. 10 pages, double-spaced, twelve-point font.
Essay Topic:
In Book VI of Platos Republic, Socrates asks Adeimantus to imagine a ship on which
sailors are quarreling with one another about captaincy. Each of them thinks that
he should captain the ship, even though he has not yet learned the craft and cannot
name his teacher or a time when he was learning it. Indeed, they go further and
claim that it cannot be taught at all, and are even ready to cut to pieces anyone who
says it can. They are always crowding around the ship owner himself, pleading with
him, and doing everything possible to get him to turn the rudder over to them. And
sometimes, if they fail to persuade him and others succeed, they execute those
others or throw them overboard. Then, having disabled their noble ship owner with
mandragora or drink in some other way, they rule the ship, use up its cargo drinking
and feasting, and make the sort of voyage you would expect of such people. In
addition, they praise anyone who is clever at persuading or forcing the ship owner
to let them rule, calling him a sailor, a skilled captain, and an expert about ships
while dismissing anyone else as a good-for-nothing. They do not understand that a
true captain must pay attention to the seasons of the year, the sky, the stars, the
winds, and all that pertains to his craft if he is really going to be expert at ruling a
ship. As for how he is going to become captain of the ship, whether people want him
to or not, they do not think it possible to acquire the craft or practice of doing this at
the same time as the craft of captaincy. When that is what is happening onboard
ships, dont you think that a true captain would be sure to be called a stargazer, a
useless babbler, and a good-for-nothing by those who sail in ships so governed,

Your essay must answer the following three questions:
2. How does this passage reflect and support Platos broader argument in the
Republic about the link between rightful political authority and
knowledge/expertise?
3. What do you think about Platos argument(s) for that link? Is Plato
persuasive on the connection between rightful political authority and
knowledge/expertise? If so, why; if not, why not?
As a rough guideline, you should spend 2/3 of your essay answering questions 1 and
2 (description and textual interpretation), and 1/3 on question 3(analysis).
This is not a research essayyou are discouraged from consulting secondary
literature and compiling a large bibliography. Instead, closely and carefully read
Platos Republic and then, drawing upon our lectures and classroom discussions,
formulate and defend your own conclusions about key aspects of Platos political
theory.
You may use any referencing style (M.L.A, Harvard, Chicago, etc..) provided that
such use is consistent and makes clear which edition/passages of the Republic you
are referencing and/or citing.
You are strongly encouraged to quote directly from the Republic to reinforce your
interpretive and argumentative claims. If you are attributing a particular belief or
idea to Plato, be sure to provide evidence for that attribution.
You are strongly encouraged to email and/or meet with your Instructor (well in
advance of the deadline) to discuss the style, substance, and strategy for your paper.
I am also happy to read drafts of completed papers prior to the deadline on a first
come first-served basis. While I will not assign provisional grades in such cases, I
will give constructive criticism and formative feedback to be taken into account
before a revised version is submitted through UMLearn
First, consider your reading from the television week. Select a commercial television text and narrative that you think has something interesting to say about televisions codes and conventions or innovations.Next, explore the industrial, formal, or structural elements of the TV program (using the TISCA approach), and construct an argument about its textual, industrial, or historical significance within a social context. Select particular elements from the programs form, production, and/or structure that make it a significant television text. Build an argument that focuses on your selected elements, analyzing how the television show creates meaning, and in particular how it speaks to innovation or formula in television, and integrate that with existing theoretical or historical work on television.Parameters:Paper should be 3-4 full pages, not including the bibliography.
Your paper should cite (with formatted in-text citations) 4 total outside sources:
One is Jonathan Grays chapter, Art with strings attached: Creativity, innovation & industry
One is a relevant peer-reviewed source
One is a trade/industry press source
One is from a reputable source, and can be peer-reviewed or not. These cannot be from Wikipedia, IMDb, the dictionary, etc., but must be from reputable, professional, relevant sources. If you have questions about suitability, consult me.
Bibliography, formatted according to correct MLA style
12pt standard font, 1 margins, double spaced
Using this give a hook then background info on the speech and the thesis should say…In Barack Obamas speech A more perfect union and Cesar Chavez what the future holds for farmworkers and Hispanics, each speaker uses reasoning, evidence, and rhetorical appeals to evoke change in their audience
Developing your own Criterion
Before you can successfully evaluate a movie or album, you first need to establish your critical criteria. This will provide you with a critical framework in which you can consider the piece. To that end, I have provided some .pdf files of reading selections from several philosophers. Browse each reading selection to see which one appeals to you. (Of course, you will also want to think about what type of work you want to review: a movie or an album?) Philosopher writing on the Aesthetic value of drama: The Poetics by Aristotle Chapters 5-15 (V-XV)Philosophers writing on the Aesthetic value of music: The Republic, Book III by PlatoOnce you have decided on music or drama, read the selection closely, and then isolate three of the philosophers criteria that you will take and make your own. For example, if you are going to review an album, then you may want to select three points from Platos Republic that you will use to guide your evaluation of the album.Writing the Review
The review itself should be 250-300 words. Your evaluation must be rooted in your three-point criteria, although and this is important you do not directly state what that criteria is. Remember that you are writing for an audience that might be interested in putting down their hard-earned cash to see the film, or buy the album. To give you some examples of what a short critical review should look like, here is a film review from Harry Knowles from Aint it Cool News, and an album review from the British writer/blogger Sid Smith. Note that both writers are at once critical and fair-minded: thats the tone you should strive for.Reflective Essay
It is expected that you will quote from the philosophers work and discuss why the given passage was significant in helping you develop your own aesthetic criteria.So, in summary, your paper will include the following
:Beowulf sails to Denmark (194224)
Beowulf fights Grendel (790818)
Beowulf fights Grendels Mother (153769)
Beowulf and Wiglaf kill the dragon (26722708)
You can pick two from among the following translators:E. Talbot Donaldson
Seamus Heaney
John McNamara
Edward L. Risden
Alan Sullivan and Timothy Murphy
J. R. R. TolkienWhichever two translations you pick, your assignment is to look for differences in word choice, syntax, and poetic form between them and explain how these differences affect the meaning, tone, and style of the passage. Reproduce both translations of the passage early in your essay and refer to them frequently throughout your analysis.Begin your paper with a genuine question about how the translations differ. Make that question the last sentence of your first paragraph. The rest of the essay should answer this question. Present your analysis in a clear and well-organized manner. Each paragraph should deal with a specific element of the translations, explain how that element works, and present its main point in a clear topic sentence. Draw your conclusions in your final paragraph, briefly summing up your answers to the question posed at the start of the essay. Read both translations of the passage slowly, carefully, and repeatedly in order to make worthwhile observations on them. Your assignment is to analyze the translations themselves, not Anglo-Saxon culture, or the Mythic Heros Journey, or the Meaning of Life. And dont get bogged down in plot summary or paraphrase or other abstractions. Make everything you say in your analysis relate directly to the actual words of the text. Dont get sidetracked; stick with the words. The more specific you are, the stronger your analysis will be.Make your prose as clear and concise as possible. Dont waste your time trying to sound impressive. Write, instead, in a conversational voice: the clear, plainspoken, engaging voice of a person talking about a subject they find interesting. Dont let your essay run longer than what you have to say. One sentence that actually says something is better than a paragraph that doesnt. Make every word count.In evaluating your essay, I will focus on the intelligence and specificity of your ideas, the precision of your analysis, the clarity of your prose, and the originality and persuasiveness of your thesis.Your essay should be between 8001,200 words not counting the two translations you quote at the start of the paper.You will, of course, only have the two translations you cite in your essay on your Works Cited page.When you quote from these works in your essay, use the translators last name and the verse line numbers in your parenthetical reference.
Select two (2) editorials / essays / columns (by staff or freelance writers) on a current issue of public policy from two (2) different publications (large metropolitan or national newspaper such as Washington Post or the New York Times or national magazines such as Newsweek, Time, and The New Republic.) Visit the online library at http://research.strayer.edu to read these titles. Question 8. 2. Determine which arguments are the most plausible. Provide a rationale for your views. (Note: Refer to Demonstration Exercise 1 located at the end of Chapter 3 for criteria 4-6. Examine Box 3.0 Conducting a Stakeholder Analysis. Choose one of the following policy issues in the U.S.: gun control, illegal drugs, medical insurance fraud, and environmental protection of waterways, job creation, affordable health care, or Medicare.) 3. Apply the procedures for stakeholder analysis to generate a list of at least five to ten (5-10) stakeholders who affect or are affected by problems in the issue area chosen for analysis. (Note: Refer to the textbook for a step-by-step process on stakeholder analysis.) 4. After creating a cumulative frequency distribution from the list, discuss new ideas generated by each stakeholder. (Note: The ideas may be objectives, alternatives, outcomes causes, etc.; ideas should not be duplicates.) Refer to the following video for a reminder on how to calculate cumulative relative frequency: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBX9aNdOYDg. 5. Write an analysis of the results of the frequency distribution that answers the following questions: (a) Does the line graph flatten out? (b) If so, after how many stakeholders? (c) What conclusions can be drawn about the policy problems in the issue area? 6. Appropriately incorporate at least four (4) quality sources. A quality source can be either grey literature, such as a news article, or scholarly, such as peer reviewed works. In the case of public administration, government websites are appropriate quality resources.
