Research Expectations Research your topic in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP) (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (IEP) (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., both free online. Browse these resources to find at least one article that sheds light on your topic and incorporate your research into the essay in a thoughtful, relevant way, making sure to cite your source properly. Do not consult other online sources. The SEP and IEP provide more than enough research opportunities on their own.
Citing Your Sources
Quoting or closely paraphrasing from lecture notes does not demonstrate your understanding of the material. So do not do it frequently. But when you do, a simple parenthetical citation at the end of the sentence is enough. Like this: (Linehan, Lecture).

Quoting or closely paraphrasing from the assigned reading does not demonstrate your understanding of the material. So do not do it frequently. But when you do, a simple parenthetical citation at the end of the sentence is enough. Like this: (Shafer-Landau, 112).

Quoting or closely paraphrasing from assigned online encyclopedias does not demonstrate your understanding of the material. So do not do it frequently. But when you do, a simple parenthetical citation at the end of the sentence is enough. Like this: (Author’s Name, SEP) or (Author’s Name, IEP).

Provide a Works Cited list at the end of your paper. Include full citations for any article you used from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP) and the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (IEP). Both the SEP and the IEP provide clear instructions online about how to cite their encyclopedia entries in a Works Cited. Part of your research is to find these instructions and then cite each of the articles appropriately in your Works Cited page.

Every student should begin their argument research by reading Amy Chua’s piece starting on page 269: “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom.”
Each essay after that responds to Chua’s argument.
The following questions relate to Chua’s article:

2) Chua clearly states why she’s so vigilant as a parent. “Chinese parents understand…that nothing is fun until you’re good at it. To get good at anything you have to work, and children on their own never want to work, which is why it is crucial to override their preferences.” The key element of this argument is the assumption that “children on their own never want to work.” Do you agree? Discuss your own motivation to work hard. To what extent does your motivation come from within? To what extent have others pushed you to achieve? [You can answer one part or all of these questions, as long as you set up your essay as an argument.]
“Amy Chua is a Wimp” by David Brooks
1) After reading the article by Brooks, determine if his situation is more challenging than Chua’s. If so, how?
Is Chua the one who is taking on more of a challenge than Brooks? How? Why?
2) Do you agree that Chua is, in effect, short-changing her daughters by denying them play dates and sleepovers (that is, socially complex activities) in favor of intense, solitary study?
“Whatever Happened to the Original Tiger Mum’s Children? by Tanith Carey
1) Isn’t it true that some [many?] children don’t know the heights they can reach because they’ve never been pushed hard enough to reach a lofty goal? If true, explain how and why. If not true, explain.
“Tiger Mother Stirs Reflections on Parenthood” by Tina Griego
Set up your own argument question here.
“Tiger Mom vs. Tiger Mailroom” Patrick Goldstein
1) Goldstein points to many ambitious self-starters in the movie industry. Some never finished college; others never attended. Yet
these people succeed on a grand scale, [See Jennifer Lawrence’s interview on 60 Minutes] working from the bottom of the industry, up. What would you say to a friend or son or daughter who quit college just four credits shy of a degree (as one of these self-starters did) to take a job in the movie industry?
2) Goldstein offers “a radically different perspective [than Chua’s] on the relationship between higher education and career achievement.” Which perspective on this relationship appeals to you more, the Hollywood perspective or Chua’s? Why?
America’s Top Parent by Elizabeth Kolbert
1) Kolbert raises a common objection to Chua’s style of parenting: that it promotes rote memorization at the expense of critical thinking and reflection. What do you think? Are you for or against rote memorization? If not, what is the better alternative?
“Your Perfectionist Parenting Style May Be Detrimental to Your Child” by Ariana E. Cha
1) We learn in this selection that “maladaptive perfectionism” can have pernicious effects on children and teens. If you are a perfectionist or know anyone who is, have you witnessed any of these pernicious effects? How can perfectionism be a positive quality? When does it shade into something darker? Is perfectionism a good or bad quality? Why or why not?
2) You don’t get to choose–but if you did choose a parent, would you prefer one who was overly intrusive or one who showed little or no interest in your work? Why? Argue for or against one type of parent.
3) A psychologist in Singapore advises parents to “[l]et children make mistakes.” Is this sound advice, in your view? Discuss. Argue yes or no.
See page 293 on how to set up your argument. Keep in mind you do not have to synthesize two arguments into one.

Many companies with small budgets mistakenly think they can use “free” advertising as they define public relations. Indeed, some companies do rely only on public relations only if the unique selling proposition is so newsworthy that the news media will be the carriers of the company’s message. Apple is a master at this whenever that company launches a new product.Can you think of any other product that relied solely on public relations?

The concept of integrated marketing communications is more than just putting together good ad campaigns. It is a fully integrated set of promotion mix tools communicating the same clear, consistent, and compelling message about the offering. For example: TV ad campaign to create interest in the product using a celebrity spokesperson (advertising creating awareness)
Appearance of the celebrity on a TV talk show (public relations to generate interest)
E-mail from the celebrity endorser offering a promotional price (direct marketing to spark desire to purchase)
Point-of-purchase display featuring celebrity endorser (sales promotion to remind consumer of product benefits and encourage purchase action)

Facebook page hosted by the celebrity (post-purchase activity to reduce purchase dissonance)
In this case, the celebrity endorser is the common thread communicating the company’s message. The company may have decided to use a celebrity endorser who is well respected and highly visible to its target market. This is part of the creative strategy for encoding the message to consumers. In other cases, the common thread (sometimes known as the Big Idea) might be a particular graphics approach, a character created solely for the company (e.g. Flo for Progressive Insurance), or other creative device that carries forth in all communications. Can you think of an IMC campaign? Progressive is one example, but there are plenty out there. Feel free to go back in history and think of campaigns like IBM’s launch of the personal computer using the Charlie Chaplin-like character or Coke’s I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing campaign, or Apple’s IMC campaigns used on every new product launch. Remember, don’t just focus on the advertising. Find those other promotion tools they used to convey the selling proposition. You may want to read most of the week’s readings before tackling this discussion topic to get a better idea of what all the promotion mix tools are, and how the AIDA model (as noted in the reading highlights in the example above) works.

Should jurors be warned of the potential for bias or the potential for analyst error? Should national standards for comparisons not firmly founded in science, i.e. fingerprints, questioned documents, tool marks, etc., be established? Should jurors be instructed to give greater weight to tests and comparisons with greater scientific bases (DNA v. fingerprint comparison)? Using APA formatting (abstract not necessary) complete a two (2) page paper addressing these questions and including other information you feel is relevant to the issues discussed in the film or other sources. Please properly cite all sources of information.Please use this transcript: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/real-csi/transcript/
