Tips for writing
In persuasive writing we try to convince others to agree with our facts, share our values, accept our argument and conclusions, and adopt our way of thinking. The persuasive essay must choose a side, make a case for it, consider and refute alternative arguments, and prove to the undecided reader that the opinion it presents is the best one. You must be aware of other sides and be fair to them; dismissing them completely will weaken your own argument.

Briefly indicate how your concept, theory, or topic is related to the culture of capitalism. Note, your textbook should be helpful here.

Define (if a concept), describe or explain (if a broad topic or theory) your topic.

In ABOUT four to six paragraphs, discuss the topic in relation to your country.
For example, if your topic is structural adjustment programs, indicate when and how these policies were implemented.
What is the reason/are the reasons why the policies were implemented in that nation-state.
What have been the consequences of their implementation: degree of success; impact on the country economically, politically, and socially.
In particular, discuss the impact (positive and negative, as appropriate) of the policy on citizens of the country.
Be specific. For example, if one consequence is that poverty rates have declined, cite actual data (figures/percentages) and include dates (e.g. between 1980 and 2013).
Finally, indicate which of the three perspectives on globalization (that is, that of skeptics, hyperglobalizers, OR transformationalists) these findings support, and how so.
Conclusion (About one paragraph):What are your final thoughts about what you have found?
What does this countrys experience with your chosen topic tell you about the nature of capitalism?

If the patient did not have adrenal hyperfunction, metyrapone could instigate an adrenal crisis. How might that present clinically?

A 22-year-old nurse complained of weakness, tiredness, easy bruising, leg edema, recent
acne, and hirsutism. Her menses became irregular. Her family commented that she was
emotionally labile. They also believed that her face had become fuller. On physical
examination she was found to be mildly hypertensive with a moon facies, buffalo hump,
truncal obesity, diffuse cutaneous striae, and +2 pitting pretibial edema. The results of a
recent chest X-ray study performed at work were normal.

Her elevated urinary 17-OHCS level and the elevation and loss of normal diurnal variation in her plasma cortisol levels substantiated the diagnosis. The underlying pathologic condition causing the adrenal gland hyperfunctioning had to be determined to permit appropriate therapy. The causes could have been bilateral adrenal hyperplasia, adrenal adenoma or carcinoma, a pituitary tumor, or an ACTH-secreting tumor. Lack of adrenal gland suppression with 2 mg of dexamethasone, combined with complete suppression with 8 mg of dexamethasone, strongly indicated that adrenal hyperplasia (abnormally high secretion of ACTH), rather than an adrenal tumor, was causing the Cushing syndrome. The patients elevated levels on the plasma ACTH, metyrapone suppression, and ACTH stimulation tests were all consistent with bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. The CT studies of the head and the Case Studies 2 Copyright 2014 by Mosby, Inc., an imprint of Elsevier Inc. adrenal glands eliminated the possibility of pituitary and adrenal tumors. The CT scan of the adrenal glands was compatible with adrenal hyperplasia. The patient underwent bilateral adrenalectomy and became asymptomatic. She was given physiologic steroid-replacement medications and had no further difficulties. Critical Thinking Questions 2. What nonpathologic factors might influence ACTH levels?
