Write a 1000-word essay that critically examines the argument presented in a TED Talk from the link below.

In your paper, specify the TED Talk you have selected. Isolate and identify the main conclusion(s) and major premise(s) of the authors argument. Then, assess the quality of the talks premises. Is there compelling evidence presented? Do the premises logically lead to the conclusion?
Following the intentions and objectives of this course, this essay must be presented as an argumentative essay. As you now know, an argument has a conclusion and at least one premise. You should present your argument about the TED Talk in your introduction. You must specify what your argument is and how you will argue it (that is, what your conclusion is and what your supporting premises are). The best way of presenting this in your Introduction is as follows: I argue ‘x’ (about the TED talk) {your conclusion/thesis}. Followed by, I argue this because of a, (b), and (c) {your premises}.
This thesis statement reflects how you want to discuss the TED talk and what you want to signal as significant. It is your ARGUMENT.Video:
Esther Duflo: Social experiments to fight poverty
Alleviating poverty is more guesswork than science, and lack of data on aid’s impact
raises questions about how to provide it. But Clark Medal-winner Esther Duflo says
it’s possible to know which development efforts help and which hurt — by testing
solutions with randomized trials.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zvrGiPkVcsCRITERIA understanding of the subject

For example, you would need to include a specific sentence from the readings to support your answer for Where and When. Then, you could use a specific scene from the movie Thor to support your answer to Who.You may find it easier to address the questions in the following order and in relation to the course and module learning outcomes: Where and When This gives us an opportunity to examine the artifacts, ideas, beliefs, practices, and values that inform the myths in the Prose Edda.

What Is Happening Again, we are in the act of examining our readings and films to identify common themes in mythology, such as the Heros Journey. Why and How Answering these questions gives us the opportunity to define and identify terms and references from mythology that will serve as the foundation for further study of the connection between mythology and various fields, including but not limited to art, religion, literature, and humanities.Part TwoAfter you have answered these questions, you will complete Part Two, your reflection, in which you consider the importance of your answers. Your reflection can be your ideas about the passage or a specific detail, or about the myth as a whole, or, it can consist of questions leading to deeper analysis. Your reflection should be a minimum of 150 words. Use either APA or MLA for your in-text citations and for your References/Works Cited page.

Your group is expected to profile your respective sport organization, providing interesting and relevant information that will tell the story of the organization. A professionally bound report on the organization is expected at the end of the semester. Information the group should provide includes but is not limited to the mission statement, objectives, vision, a general view of and expenses revenue (where applicable),and an organizational chart among other functions.The goal here is to provide you with information on the inner workings of sport organizations and allow you to develop and display critical thinking skills and the ability to present all sides of a policy or issue and its impact. The groups will be self-selected, NOT instructor-assigned.A LARGE PART OF THIS ASSIGMENT IS WORKING AS A TEAM. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMMUNICATION WITHIN YOUR GROUP AND INSTRUCTOR WILL NOT HELP FACILITATE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MEMBERS. I WILL DEDUCT POINTS IF YOU TURN IN THIS ASSIGNMENT WITHOUT THE REQUIRED FOUR (4) MEMBERS. NO EXCUSES, NO EXCEPTIONS.Due Date: by 11:59pm NO EXCEPTIONS
Length and Format: You will present organizational project as a 12-15 page research paper with a minimum of 5 sources that allowed you to compare your hypothetical organization to other REAL organizational findings, similar to yours. In addition, students may attach other material from the organization (e.g., statement of goals, organizational chart, job advertisements, rules and procedures, etc.). If your project has less than 12 pages, points will be deducted.

submit three formal argumentative essays for this class: a literary analysis (LA), a researched essay (RE), and a public opinion piece (POP) based on the researched essay. Students will be required to submit complete drafts of the first two essays, revise them in response to instructor comments, and resubmit the revised essays for grading.

Annotated bibliography: Students will submit an annotated bibliography as part of the researched essay assignment. The bibliography will demonstrate knowledge of the research process and the ability to evaluate source materials.
INSTRUCTIONS:
The second major writing assignment (essay) of the semester is the Researched Essay (RE). Students will research a socially significant issue being debated in the US today, complete an annotated bibliography (AB) of their sources, and develop a rhetorically sophisticated argument about how to address the issue. The essay will take the form of a thesis- driven, researched argument that takes part in an existing conversation, and will clearly demonstrate the validity of its claim using reasoned argumentation, rhetorical appeals, detailed support, and purposeful organization. It will not simply be a report on, or summary or description of, the existing debate. It will have to be focused on the thorough development of a single idea, and this idea will be one with high stakes a significant matter of concern.
Instructor approval: Students must submit a list of five topic summaries, in order of personal preference, to the instructor for approval. As indicated on the schedule in our syllabus, this is due in class on Thursday 10/11. In order for your topic to be approved, your list must be complete (according to instructions in the syllabus), and your topic must be SPECIFIC climate change, cancer, immigration, economy, etc., are too broad; you must work to narrow your focus so as to have a clear direction for pursuing your research. I will also not approve topics that are already overdone (legalization of marijuana, lowering the drinking age, etc.), nor those that are based in bias or ignorance rather than substance (climate change is a hoax, abortion is murder, etc.).
Annotated bibliography: The AB documents sources relevant to the RE. Like any bibliography or works cited list, it includes bibliographic information for each source. However, it is also annotated, meaning that it also includes a brief summary and evaluation of the contents of each source along with its bibliographic information. The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) has lots of helpful information about annotated bibliographies. You can access this information at https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/common_writing_assignments/annotated_bibliographies/index.html.
Sources: Sources must be reputable: academic, journalistic, governmental, scientific, and the like. Things like Wikipedia, amateur blogs, propaganda, and similar sources MAY NOT be used. We will discuss this matter (information literacy) in class on the research day. If you have additional questions regarding the appropriateness or reputability of any sources you wish to use, speak to me about them well ahead of the AB and/or RE due dates. The AB must include at least 12-15 annotated entries; at least 8-10 of these sources must be meaningfully incorporated into the content of the RE.
SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO PROCEED:
Your greatest resources for the AB and RE are your sources, this handout, the On Research handout, the Rhetorical Appeals handout, the Purdue OWL, and (above all) your They Say, I Say text, which not only provides helpful rubrics to aid you in elaborating your argument, but also contains lots of important discussion about how to understand researched academic writing as entering a conversation. Study these resources carefully and frequently.
REQUIREMENTS:
Word count: 2500-3000 words
Formatting: MLA. For MLA formatting guidelines, go to the Purdue Online Writing Lab here: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_style_introduction.html.

The review will be no more than one page of one and a half spaced typed text. Any review over 1 page in length will be marked down at the rate of 5 points per extra page. The point of a scientific review paper is to write clearly and concisely. Spelling and grammatical errors will also result in point deductions.
Do not use first person language (I, you, us, etc.)
Do not use colloquialism or opinionated language. Stay way from words that are
dramatic in tone or or superfluous. Write clearly and scientifically.

You can number the pages if you wish.
Upload the file to the assignment tab in Moodle as a word document. I will review the
paper, make corrections and comments, and re-upload the file in Moodle with the final grade.
The student is responsible to ensure the material is relevant to topic covered in the environmental science course, otherwise points will be deducted. You are also responsible to make sure that the paper is a peer-reviewed journal article. Make absolutely sure that it includes a method, results and discussion of the results. Review papers, opinion papers, new paper articles, summary papers, etc. are not peer-reviewed. Points will be deducted if it is not in the peer-reviewed format. If you are unsure if the topic or paper is appropriate, email the citation or PDF to a TA (e-mails are in the syllabus) or the instructor. We will give you an affirmation on your review publication.
The review paper should include:
1. Authors and publication title, cited correctly. This should be on the second page alone.
The title and authors should not be mentioned in the body of the paper.
2. Include a clear and concise summary of the methods used to collect and analyze the
data. It should be 3-4 sentences in length band by the end of your summary, I should have a good understanding of what the scientist actually did.
a. WHERE did they sample if they were in the field?

c. WHAT analysis were conducted? What was measured? What statistics or
models were used?
3. Include a clear and concise summary of the results and this should also be 3-4
sentences. It is important that you convey to me what the results mean. This is the whole point of scientific research
a. What did all of the data collected in the methods actually tell us?
b. What was the significant finding or findings?
4. Include a concise summary of the overall purpose (take home message) of the scientific
endeavor. Go to the discussion portion of the paper for this information. Read it carefully and summarize in a few sentences. This is for me to understand the point of the paper you read.
Spend most of your time and most of the body of the paper, on the methods, data and results and discussion. You may need 1-2 sentences by way of introduction and finally summary. The rest should be a clear summary of the research conducted in the paper and what it means. These papers are not easy to read but do your best. Read slowly, make notes, and summarize what you understand. Tell me what you learn!

Research a minimum of 5 recent scholarly articles that relate to the concept on which you wish to focus your research.

Articles must be found in reputable professional and/or scholarly journals and/or informational venues that deal with the content of the course (i.e., not blogs, Wikipedia, newspapers, etc.). After reading the articles, select the 1 article that you wish to discuss.
