Students will propose topics for approval or ask instructor for suggestions. Make sure to write the paper using the approach that was explained in class (introduction with thesis statement, clear sections and transitions, a discussion of Scripture and Catholic tradition, an examination of the reasonableness of the belief, clear argument(s) for your position, and a brief conclusion). Your audience is someone who understands basic Christian faith and theology and who is generally familiar with your topic area, so you can presume understanding of basic terminology, among other things.
You should use at least 3 reputable sources, at least two of which should be print resources (including ebooks, journal articles you find through our library databases, and the like).

For this assignment consider yourself a historian. You must use your analytical and organizational skills to complete this assignment. You will write the paper using primary documents. The first decision, and the most difficult is choosing a thesis statement. This is important since it
will give you the ability to link the documents you have chosen and organize your sources and arguments to support your thesis.There are three ways to write the paper.1) a narrative style2) an argumentative paper3) a historical fiction1. In the narrative style you are writing in story format. You are writing about the past.
Be sure to
use the documents to provide you with material from the past2. An argumentative paper has a stronger thesis statement than one written in the
narrative style. In this type of paper you are supporting your thesis statement(s) by
using the materials in the documents to support your position. Some examples of this
approach includes, New York City was a wonderful place to live at the turn of the 18th
century or conversely, New York City was a hell-hole at the turn of the 18th century
and I would not be caught dead there. Here you would cite documents that would
support and enhance your position.3. The third way to approach writing this paper is as a historical fiction. In this essay you
may place yourself in the past or take on the persona of some historical individual.
Although it is fiction, you will still need to cite the documents to support your essay.
Do not change the past or the historical facts, but incorporate yourself into the past.
Some examples of this style would be recounting your experiences as a soldier
during WWII, conditions during the Great Depression, aspects of the Civil Rights
movement, etc. Be creative.
PAPER SPECIFICS1) The length of the paper should be 1500 to 2000 words, exclusive of title page, endnotes,
and bibliography.2) Include a title page with your paper. On the title page include a descriptive title along
with your name, course, and date submitted.3) The paper should be typed, double-spaced, and sent to the professor electronically.
For this assignment, you may send your paper through the U.S. mail as well. As long as
its postmarked by the date due, late points will not be deducted.4) Avoid using creative margins and font-size. I would recommend using 12 point, New
Times Roman font, and save and send this assignment as a .docx or .doc file.
If you are using another word processor other than Microsoft Word, then
submit your paper as a .rtf (rich text format) file.5) For citing purposes, we will be using the Chicago Style. This is the citation method
used by historians.6) Remember, citing using the CMS used raised, superscripted numbers after the
citations. If you paraphrase or quote directly, citations must be used. The only
difference, is when quoting directly, use quotation marks, when paraphrasing (putting
the author’s ideas into your own words) only a citation is needed.7) The superscripted numbers are not repeating, every time you provide a citation,
whether or not the source has already been used, a new number is used. Numbers are
never repeated. The first time a document is incorporated into the essay, a
superscripted 1 (i.e. 1) should be used, a second citation a superscripted 2 (i.e. 2) is
used, and so on.8) If other primary sources are used that are not in the document set, then you must
provide a bibliography page as well. The bibliography page tells the reader where you
found the sources used in your paper. See bibliography at the end of this document,
to utilize the correct form. The sources on the bibliography page are listed in
alphabetical order, according to the author. Note: A bibliography page is used only
when incorporating primary documents that are not from the document set.9) Use a minimum of five (5) different primary sources.10) Do not cite Wikipedia or similar websites. You must use at least two (2)
sources from the document set, unless instructor agrees to other arrangements.
Using Wikipedia or similar websites will automatically reduce your grade by 24
points. If you are not sure about a source, ask!What is a primary document?These are the documents that are in the For the Record volume that came bundled with your textbook. Primary documents are documents that come from the time period. Examples of primary documents are diaries or journals, letters, government documents, autobiographies and newspaper articles in which the journalist had first-hand knowledge of the events reported. The NARA website also is a great place to find primary documents.What is a secondary source?Everything else, biographies, monographs, encyclopedia entries, journal articles and your textbook.Common problems to avoid when writing the paper:1) Avoid using contractions2) Write out numbers under one hundred3) Avoid the use of the first or second person in your paper (no I or you), unless
you are going to do the historical fiction approach4) Follow the rules for properly citing a source5) Use complete sentences and smooth transitions between paragraphs6) Avoid misspellings. Nothing says shoddy workmanship than a whole bunch of
misspellings and typos. This can be easily fixed by running the spell-check program7) In-text citations go after the material being used.8) Others to be announcedCITATIONSThe purpose of documenting you sources is to inform the reader were you acquired the
material used in writing your paper. To avoid confusion, the history profession has
standardized this process. Historians use what is known as the Chicago Style as the
standard citing convention.

For your essay, pick one of the posted topics, read the text carefully, and formulate your own thesis, which should indicate either agreement or disagreement with the position of the author presented in the text. Clearly state your own position. At minimum, do you agree or disagree with the view stated in the text? It is also possible to advance a more complicated position. At minimum, you should agree or disagree. Once, you have formulated your thesis, provide arguments to support your position. You can use both historical and logical arguments to back up your answer. If you feel that the thesis calls for a clarification, clarify it, but remember that the key ingredient of your essay is your arguments. The more convincing are the arguments the better. Whether you present a particular historical episode or discuss a highly abstract logical point, make sure that your line of reasoning actually supports your position. Obviously, the more original is the argument, the better. This is the best way to convince your reader that you have mastered the topic and have your own thoughts about it. Format, Bibliography, Citations, and Style Make sure you structure your paper in a form of an essay. Even if you are writing a letter, it should have an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. It should also include a clear statement of the problem, your position, and your supporting reasons. There are no restrictions as to what literature can be used, but minimal requirements. You are allowed to use required readings, supplementary readings, or other sources. The only requirement is that the material should be immediately related to the problem under scrutiny. Stay away from citing sources just for the sake of citing more is not always better. A very good paper can have only one or two sources. Also, avoid paragraph-long quotations try to say it in your own words (but dont forget to insert a reference otherwise it would be plagiarism). If you need to quote or cite something, do it. But keep in mind that the focus of your essay should be on your understanding of the topic. If you include too much quotation, you will crowd out your own ideas.

: The briefing to John and the board of directors was a success. You and Shawn believe that it allowed them to understand the challenges associated with managing global human capital effectively and the value of recognizing human capital as a critical part of AGCs strategic plan. John and the board of directors gave every indication that they understood the sense of urgency needed to align the key global human capital goals with those established for the entire global organization. In fact, they asked you to move ahead with developing global human capital goals for AGC as part of its strategic plan. You will begin by evaluating the existing organizational culture and analyzing the leadership styles used at each global AGC subsidiary. The company has several global subsidiaries, each with significant cultural differences. Shawn believes that AGC would benefit from an organizational culture that is more proactive and competitive. Likewise, he believes that leadership development programs should focus on styles that recognize the importance of celebrating diversity, empowerment, and innovation. Review the AGC scenario for this course and discuss the following with your peers: Using AGC as an example, what human capital management problems can arise when an organization does not acknowledge cultural differences at its global subsidiaries? How can leadership styles effect global organizational culture?
