Assignment: Reflective AnalysisDue date: 10/13/18Read article: Is Addiction Really a Disease? By Kevin McCauley, M.D. McCauley, K. T. (2009). “Addiction Is a Disease, Not a Choice.” Ed. Christina Fisanick. Opposing Viewpoints: Addiction. Gale Villanova University Library. San Diego, CA: Greenhaven Press. 1. In 3-4 full page(s), explain the text you have read, outlining 4 new things you have learned and why you think they are relevant or important. Also answer the following:
From your perspective, is addiction a disease or a choice?
What are your arguments for or against the notion?
What do you believe is the most effective methods for treating drug addiction?
Is there any connection between drug and/or alcohol addiction and stress? Explain your perspective
This is an essay not a report so please do not use bullet points. Organize the essay into paragraphs, each explaining your point.
2. Write a reflection on what you have read, and compose one question and one critique that emerged out of the reading.
This part of the essay can be very subjective. You can either begin or end with your reflection with your reflection.
Give careful thought to your questions and comments.
3. Scavenger Hunt: You must find two books or scholarly Journal articles that are related to the reading you have just covered and cite the sources within your essay to support your perspective. You must create a reference page in APA citation style. No website resources accepted.
4. Cite any information you use from the article (both in the article citation and bibliographic) using APA format.
You may use additional resources as an option to support your essay.
1. On the standard reading of Hobbes, the establishment of civil society places limits on mans natural liberty, but does not result in any significant transformation of (egoistic) human nature. Yet in Chapter XV, where Hobbes sets out his moral science, he argues that that various moral virtues are laws of nature that obligate us in the same way as the first three laws that establish civil society and sovereign authority. It will be helpful to keep in mind Hobbess materialism and account of the will (Chapter VI).
2. One critical difference between Locke and Hobbes is that the former distinguishes between the state of nature and the state of war whereas for Hobbes the state of nature necessarily consists of a condition of war. Reconstruct the essential features of each account and critically evaluate each with an eye to answering the question of what each philosopher identifies as the motive to moving from the state of nature to civil society via a social compact. Do you find one account more convincing? Explain.
3. Rousseau argues that only the guarantee of liberty provided by the social contract bestows legitimacy upon civil commitments (Ch. 7). Reconstruct his argument for how we come to acquire liberty just as we transfer our natural right to the community. What do we give up and what do we gain? What is the relation between the general will and sovereign authority? How can we best make sense of Rousseaus claim that the political community can force the outlier to be free? Critically evaluate Rousseaus account of political legitimacy (for example, compare it to that of Hobbes).
4. In Of the Original Contract, Hume argues against social contract theories. More positively, he sees justice as a natural extension of the family, and as possible for us because of our natural sociability and capacity for reasoning. Moreover, in essays such as Of Refinement in the Arts and Rise and Progress of the Human Sciences, Hume regards economic development as a cause of increased knowledge, sociability and a refinement in manners, as well as the cause of the growth of wealth. Reconstruct his negative criticism of the social contract and his more positive account of political and economic progress, and critically evaluate.
5. While Mary Wollstonecraft admired Rousseaus politics of the state, she was vehemently opposed to his theory of education. Which aspects of Rousseaus account of education for girls does she bring under attack? How does Wollstonecraft propose to educate girls and women? What does she emphasize as most important? What is the legacy of her argument and its relevance for us today? Explain your answers.
6. Reconstruct and evaluate Sophie de Grouchys account of sympathy. What is sympathy and how does it develop in human nature? How does sympathy with physical pain differ from sympathy with pleasure or with moral pain? What diminishes our capacity for sympathy, and how can it be cultivated? How are moral ideas grounded in sympathy? How does de Grouchy stake out a political aspect of sympathy, and how might that have been important in the newly post-Revolutionary France? Does sympathy as de Grouchy explains it have relevance and importance for us today? Explain.
Write a 2-3 paged paper (typed double spaced) upon completion of the assigned book. Use at least two ( no more than 4) outside resources with proper APA citation. (EX. John (2017) indicates that law enforcement official use the code of silence with fellow officers.) 1. Your assessment on the book, what you liked, what you didnt like, was it believable, your analysis. You can include BRIEF summary of no more than 1 to 1 1/2 paragraphs.
First, it means you are to examine the movement you choose in the context of it being an engine of social change (see chapters 6 and 7 in Weinstein). This is not a topic paper! This is a serious look at the movement you have chosen using a sociological model to explain it. You, therefore, need to understand the concepts associated with why social movements occur (review the PowerPoint for week 3 and what type of movement it is). You should also be choosing a national or international movement rather than something local or new. This step would constitute the introduction and thesis associated with your paper. This is what your abstract and/or introduction to your paper should contain:Throughout the paper, the _____________ movement will be examined from a sociological perspective in regards to social change. Utilizing the sociological model, the _____________________will be explained/described/discussed through a thorough discussion of the history of the movement, its leaders, the type of movement it is, and he stages the movement went through. Further, a discussion as to how the ___________________ movement impacted societal institutions will be presented. Finally, the paper will examine how the _______________ movement has created new societal norms, values, and practices, as well as how the movement will further impact society in the future.Second, it means you are to discuss the history and stages of growth of the movement using the 4 stage mode (as below) including its ideology, membership and leadership as well as whether it has (or is) producing the applicable social change. You should give equal time to each stage and not dwell on the reasons for the movement (such as its history). This would constitute part of, but not all, of the body of your paper.Third, you are to determine how that movement affected the way institutions (here or elsewhere) function. In that sense, you would be examining the impact your movement had on societal institutions (such as education, politics, family, or the economy as examples). This would be the remaining part of the body of your paper.Finally, in terms of other impacts (see orders of impact starting on page 10 in Weinstein) you need to consider whether or not it created new societal norms, values, and practices. This would constitute the conclusion to your paper (which should be several paragraphs).Students should choose from the list below or, with the approval of the professor, select another national or international social movement. A note about communicating your ideas: “if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough” (Albert Einstein).
Mechanics: Students are expected to use at least five (5) scholarly sources (journal articles, books, and government data). The simplest way to do this is to click on the LIBRARY tab, click on RESEARCH, FIND ARTICLES and MORE, then ACADEMIC SEARCH PREMIER. Do not GOOGLE your movement, use the University’s library and follow the instructions otherwise you will get lost and waste time.Estimated paper length is a minimum of five (5) pages and a maximum of seven (7) pages of text using correct APA format.

This project consists of two parts, each worth 50 points for a total of 100 points. Note that grammar, spelling, and proper citation of sources are important for this project. Refer to the appendix in this course for guidelines on writing conventions.Story options:
Snapshots of a Wedding by Bessie Head
Sweat by Zora Neale Hurston
The Beautiful Soul of Don Damian by Juan Bosch-Part A
This portion of the assignment will be a character analysis essay. You are to select one character from any story that you have read in Unit 1 to use as the focus of your essay.
Remember that when an author creates a character, he or she uses several methods to help the reader create a mental image of the character. Sometimes an author uses direct statement to give the reader information about a character. A writer will simply tell the reader that the character is mean or brave or honest. As readers, we do not have to guess because we are told the information.
Another method of revealing a characters traits is indirect characterization. This method allows the reader to take pieces of information and put them together to draw a conclusion (make an inference) about a character.
There are five ways that an author uses indirect characterization:
Describing the characters appearance.
Showing the characters actions.
Allowing the reader to hear the character speak.
Revealing the characters thoughts and feelings.
Showing how others react to the character.
Once you have chosen a character to analyze, find examples of each kind of indirect characterization in the story. This information will be the basis of your essay.
Your essay will have three parts. The introduction will include general comments about the character and the story. (Be sure to identify the author and title of the story, as well as the characters name.) These statements will lead you to your thesis statement. Some questions to address in your introduction might include:Why did you select the character?
What do you like or dislike about this character?
Analyze how the character changes over the course of the story.
Do you identify with this character on any level?
What does the author want the reader to feel for this character?
You will develop a thesis statement that is directly related to the traits of your character to be proven throughout the body paragraphs in the essay.
A thesis statement is a sentence or two that tells the reader what the rest of the essay is about. A good thesis statement does not simply announce a topic; it says something about the topic, and it provides the framework for your paper. Never start a paper with, In this paper, I will discuss . . . An example of a good thesis statement is:
In the story Ripe Figs by Kate Chopin, as the figs ripen, Babette changes from an impatient, immature little girl into a young lady with a goal and purpose.
Each body paragraph will start with a topic sentence that includes one character trait that you choose to describe for your character. Follow the topic sentence with evidence from the story to support your topic sentence. Use at least one direct quotation form the story in each body paragraph to support your ideas. These quotations must be correctly documented according to the MLA guidelines.
The following is an example of a topic sentence with a quotation from Ripe Figs by Kate Chopin:
Babettes actions show that she has matured when she learned patience as she waited for the figs to ripen. But each time she came away disconsolate again. What she saw there finally was something that made her sing and dance the whole day long (Chopin 7).
After every quote, write the authors last name and the page number that the quote is found on in parenthesis, followed by a period.Next, explain how your examples support your topic. Conclude each paragraph with a closing sentence that will naturally lead to the next topic. You will have at least three to five body paragraphs.
Your final paragraph will be your conclusion. Restate your thesis statement in a fresh manner and provide closure by adding your final thoughts about the character and the story.
The paper will be at least 600 words in length (two typed, double-spaced pages) and will be worth 50 points. The essay will be scored according to the criteria in the following rubrics.-Part B
Choose one of the following options:
Option 1:
Write a sequel to Snapshots of a Wedding in which Mathata is the narrator. Try to imagine what her feelings are on the marriage of Neo and Kegoletile. Try to use details from the story to create a character for Mathata by expanding on the information given in the original story. Be sure write a complete story that includes a setting, character descriptions, and a plot with a conflict.
Option 2:
Write a sequel to The Beautiful Soul of Don Damian in which the character of Don Damian awakens from his coma. He will have the knowledge that his soul gathered about his friends and family by observing them while they presumed that he would die. Pick up the story from that point and write the next chapter. Be sure to write a complete story that includes a setting, character descriptions, and a plot with a conflict.Write your story from a first-person point of view. There will be a lot of dialogue because the character will concentrate on sharing his/her ideas with the reader. Be sure to include dialogue from the other characters as well. At the end of your story, note whether the main character is happy with his/her situation or not. It is up to you to decide the ending.
You will need to write dialogue in your story, which must appear in quotation marks. Be sure to use punctuation and quotation marks correctly. Use the following examples, and refer to a grammar textbook or website for additional assistance:Use a comma to offset dialogue, and capitalize dialogue if it forms a complete sentence:
Joe said, We can stop in the next town.
We can stop in the next town, Joe said.You may use an exclamation point to offset dialogue for emphasis, but do so sparingly:
I cant believe we lost! the coach yelled.
The coach yelled, I cant believe we lost!Place a question mark after dialogue that asks a question:
Where are we going? Jo asked.
Jo asked, Where are we going?
If the person speaking is identified after the dialogue, capitalize the reference to the person only if it is a proper noun (a formal given name).
I couldnt reach him by phone, the woman said. Ill try again later.
We dont have any cat food, Kendra exclaimed. Tiger will have to wait.There are fifty points possible on this part of the project, and your story should be 600 words (two typed, double-spaced pages) in length. The essay will be scored according to the criteria in the following rubrics.

It depends on the criteria of comparison and (primarily) contrast, or divergence, in this case. In a comparison and contrast (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., there are two items (the sisters), which are studied methodically according to a series of criteria: categories of experience shared by the items. In defining the criteria (implicitly or explicitly), the analyst reaches down into each specific criterion to find how the items are similar or different.
