Rhetorical Analysis of the Wilderness/Outdoorsmanship as a Product for Consumers in the US

This is for my Introduction to rhetorical criticism class (COMM 3300) PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: I ALREADY PAID A SHIT TON OF MONEY TO THIS SITE FOR A SHIT PAPER THAT DIDN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. PUT SOME OF YOUR OWN THOUGHT AND ANALYSIS INTO THE PAPER, THIS IS JUST MY GENERAL/OVERALL EXPLANATION: (sorry to be so blunt)
I already wrote the context section and literature review for this paper which adds up to be about 10 pages long. What I need for you to do is write the ANALYSIS SECTION of my paper. Here is my teacher’s definition of the analysis section: Apply relevant theories and critical methods to this case study using specific examples (i.e., speeches, publications, websites, videos, events, etc.) from the case. WHAT RHETORICAL STRATEGIES ARE BEING EMPLOYED? What is successful/unsuccessful? What effects does this have? Make an argument and back it up.
Ok, that being said, time for me to explain my topic better. Basically I am supposed to explain how the <wilderness> and outdoorsmanship has become a sort of product for consumers in the US. Going outdoors has become a popular trend and also a statement to society. In the paper, it is important for you to explain how the wilderness and outdoors man ship has become a successful product that Americans consume. Talk about how in America, as an individualistic (rather than pluralistic) society, Americans find it important to form subgroups and have a sense of "us" and "them". As a result, in the US many cling to belonging to the wild and being labeled as outdoorsy and "granola". This is their sense of identity. Americans often have an innate need to label themselves or self identify with a sub-group. Talk about how they accomplish this. They accomplish this in many ways. They dress a certain way (they wear patagonia, northface, mountain hardwear, chacos, wear caribeaners etc.), go to exotic places (Colorado, national parks, off the map), drive big trucks or sports utility vehicles (jeeps, trucks, fj cruiser) with stickers on the back, and often even advertise their "adventurousness" to the world (goPro’s, facebook, selfie stick, instagram, etc.). So basically we are explaining ways in how rhetorically, our western idea of the wilderness and outdoorsmanship has become a successful product for consumers to cling onto for a sense of identity. Maybe look at McGee’s ideograph and talk about how <wilderness> has become such an enigma in the US throughout history compared to other cultures where it is less of a trend. Talk about how the formation of national parks and the transcendentalist movement has made the <wilderness> out to be this separate entity apart from every day life that we have to go off the beaten path to interact with rather than something that surrounds us every day. Even though we’re surrounded by the wilderness a lot of the times in our every day life, the American idea of the great outdoors is often romanticized and thought of as somewhere out in the middle of nowhere. It has become thought of as this sublime/pristine paradise rather than something we see almost everyday. WRITE ABOUT THIS IN THE MOST LOGICAL ORDER not necessarily in the order that I explained my idea to you. And then tack on a bit of an opinionated section to all this. My opinion overall is that if these trends are working to get people outside more, then great. People need to interact with nature more. What bothers me is that sometimes people miss the whole point and do this for a sense of identity and live their lives through a camera lense rather than living in the moment and soaking in the great outdoors. Try your best to use rhetorical theories and analysis when writing this paper. AND PLEASE ASK ME IF MY TOPIC DOESN’T MAKE SENSE TO YOU BEFORE WRITING A PAPER THAT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.

Economic Analysis Paper

In this 3 page paper, your mission is to explain one or more economic principles (see list in Chapter 1) in a short newspaper, magazine or journal article. Use The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Business Week, The New York Times, or similarly credible publication. Your article must be recent–after January 2015. Do not use advertisements, editorials, blogs, wiki’s, or ask about style Websites as your source article. This must be a newspaper, magazine, or journal article. Online newspapers and magazine are acceptable.

This is NOT a research paper. You are simply demonstrating, in writing, that you can recognize economic principles in the real world, synthesize the concept, and apply it. Do NOT just summarize the article. Tell how the story/article demonstrates an economic principle. Examples: How does the article illustrate tradeoffs? Incentives? Inflation/unemployment tradeoff? If you discuss a subtopic, such as efficiency vs equality, you must explain how it is related to the principle "People Face Tradeoffs."

The article can be about any topic. You are expected to tie together the real world and some economic principle(s) for this paper.

Do NOT use the word “I.” Write this as you would a business presentation/paper. Think about how a newspaper article is written or your textbook is written–they rarely use the words “I’, “me”, “my”, or “we.” Write in the third person. Do Not use contractions or slang.

Your paper should be two to three typed, double-spaced pages–three pages maximum. Margins cannot be greater than one-inch wide. Use 10 or 12 font size, nothing bigger, and nothing smaller. Use Times New Roman, Arial, or Courier, nothing fancy, such as script. It is just too difficult to read. You may use a graph, but it is not required. Caution–if you use a graph, be sure to fully label it. Save your essay, works cited and article in a word document so that you can upload the file into this Canvas assignment page. You may submit the paper for review by the Stone Writing Center; you may use the online tutor or go there in person. Contact information of Stone Writing Center is provided in the course syllabus.

You MUST have at least five paragraphs that follow standard English-class conventions for a paper.

INTRODUCTION paragraph with a thesis sentence
–Three main points (at least)

–Transition

Main Point-1 Paragraph
–The first of your main points in 1, above.

5. Closing Paragraph

–Two–five sentences that provide a summary and include the economic principle and a brief discussion of the supporting details

Do NOT put anything new here–if you do, it is not a summary!

Make sure to check rubric before submitting. It explains exactly how your paper will be scored. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. You have been taught in high school and college English composition classes, how to avoid plagiarism so be sure to avoid it. This assignment is worth 100 points. It is worth this many points for two reasons. First, it is a synthesis skill. You must understand a concept, synthesize it, and apply it. That skill takes work and thinking. The other reason that it has a high point value is that writing is a critical business skill.

You may turn your paper in ANY time before the due date. I suggest presenting the article and your outline of the three points to me for early approval.

Think Piece: Environmental Crisis – Is there an environmental crisis? If not, what is all the hype about and how do you reconcile your opinion with mainline scientific data? If so, what’s the solution? Is the free market capable of dealing with the proble

We Have An Environmental Crisis in Haiti,included many types of environmental issues, in On Jan. 12, 2010, a devastating earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 killing more than 150,000 people and move more than to 1 million people. Due to these and other hard reasons, including sexual abuse and violence has taken a heavy charge on the mental health of the Haitian population. Men, women and children were reported stress and depressed after the earthquake. A lot of women have mental problem as it was reported many had been sexually abused in refugee house.Mental problem and illness within individuals is dangerous,people with mental issue can’t return to a normal state of health . The effects of psychological distress and impacts children, etc. It will much harder for these individuals to become employed, raise a right family into society without different,it will take the country much longer to recover and become resilient to future events.Another worrying after the earthquake was the governor, they not worrying about the people living in the country they increasing the debt of people, education the population increase communities from disasters and highly effective. Education is a tool, which is used for the development of building community recover. Haiti already had a high poverty rate and low intelligence rate, because more than half of the population was not well educated. not to many of educational institutes to begin with and after the earthquake most of school were destroyed. It is important to have more educate people in the country,children cannot go to school.The reports show that majority of the students only have a 6th grade education. Then children dont have the opportunity to attend public schools like USA most of the school are private schools, then in that case most of children have to find a nanny jobs to support the household. some Families send the girls to school. after the disaster the proverty is worst women were most likely to be affected. This is a result of not being educated, they are left alone with no help, other countries but the govervement dont care the only seing themselfm they let them deal with the situations. in other words hey are taken advantage. It is important to have well-educated people in a country by sending them to schools, after the disaster many children dont go to school. they only focused on finding basic necessities to survive.Another problem the earthquake causing is natural disasters.the problem of forestation such flooding . The earthquake serves as a big effect. It is important to understand the direct effects of the earthquake on environment of Haiti since it affects the citizens negatively. The lack of food Haiti is depends on Usa . the earthquakes caused many diseases including malaria, cholera and TB.Haiti took a hard hit from the earthquake, it was affected socially, economically, politically, environmentally and technologically. Although it suffered severe consequences if Haiti follows a well-developed recovery plan not only will the citizens be prepared for the next event but will become united and recover as a community.

Why you hang a witch

Gender relations in the ancient world. Compare and contrast the status and treatment of women in two contemporary ancient cultures. Suggested pairs include Sumer/Ancient Egypt, Ancient India/Ancient China, Athens/Sparta, and Roman Empire/Germanic barbarians.
Empires. What is an empire? What are an empire’s major characteristics? Suggested empires include the Hittite Empire, the Assyrian Empire, the Persian Empire, Alexander’s Hellenistic empire, the Chinese empire, the empires of Chandragupta Maurya and the Roman empire.
Ancient views of history. Compare and contrast the ideas behind works of historians from different cultures, such as Herodotus, Sima Qian, Thuycidides, Livy, and Tacitus. How do their ideas of the way history works differ from one another?
Renaissances. What really is a renaissance? What differentiates between, say, the Carolingian Renaissance, the Italian Renaissance, and the Northern Renaissance? Are renaissances limited to Western history, or can they be found in other cultures throughout the world?

The paper should include the following elements:

A bibliography of primary and secondary sources consulted. For a paper of this length (2000-2500 words) you should be consulting a MINIMUM of FIVE secondary sources and THREE primary sources. NOTE: ENCYCLOPEDIA ARTICLES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE SOURCES FOR A COLLEGE LEVEL PAPER. DO NOT USE THEM. DO NOT CITE THEM.

Notation indicating where and in what context you’re using the sources you’ve listed. History department standard notation follows the Chicago Manual of Style or Kate Turabian’s Manual for Writers of Theses and Dissertations, but for this paper I’m willing to accept APA or MLA formats. I do, however, require you to be consistent in the way you cite your sources and that you are careful to cite your sources whenever and whenever you borrow ideas, words, phrases, etc., from other authors.

Standard expository composition format. You should have a short (not more than one paragraph in a paper this length) introduction and a short conclusion. You should spend most of your paper laying out your points and supporting them with evidence drawn from your primary and secondary sources.

I won't require that you follow the outline for writing essay answers that we will go over in class; you may find it helpful, or you may not. However, part of your grade will rest on how well you've followed the points I've listed above.

The Influences of Digital Technology

In Douglas Rushkoff’s Present Shock: When Everything Happens Now, he argues that our culture is stuck in “a continuous present.” We have lost our ability to plan for the future, Rushkoff suggests, because we are distracted by the now. In the four chapters that we covered in class, Rushkoff analyzes key sectors of our culture: pop culture, politics, journalism, and business, to name a few. In his view, nearly every area of our lives today is affected by the problem of “present shock.”
For your assignment, you’ll need to identify two specific, related claims that Rushkoff makes in his book and write a research essay that responds to those claims. For instance, he claims that the “CNN Effect” creates an approach to news that doesn’t allow for reflection. This is a claim – the idea that we don’t have time to reflect – that he returns to in each chapter of Present Shock. Later in the book, he suggests that businesses who use social media to communicate with clients might also be victims of “present shock.” He thinks corporations get caught in a feedback loop when they use social media incorrectly. His solution is for businesses to be truthful in their advertising. If they rely more on truth, Rushkoff argues, they will be more likely to encourage the type of positive communication that businesses need.
With the above examples in mind, your essay should attempt to evaluate his claims and the effectiveness of his solutions. You will need to use at least six scholarly sources to help you formulate your answer. This essay is not simply a presentation of your research. You will use your research to develop an informed response. The answers you arrive at most likely won’t be as simple as “Yes, he’s right,” or “No, he’s wrong.” As you can see in Rushkoff’s book, the answers to our problems often require nuance.

I am requesting you write about how rushkoff talks about the "CNN Effect" starting at pg 46 and also "Jerry Michalski – The brain" starting at pg 237 about how everything is related. i need sources not from google but something from the "Summon library" tool. Im pretty bad with writing so it doesn't have to be too advanced but still good.

Motherhood Challenges

Introduction:
We’ve discussed just a few of the principle pressures that have formed how we understand the ways “mothers” function in both the private sphere of home and the public arena of community and work. We’ve also looked at the functions of motherhood and the way these functions have been understood, complicated, and challenged.

In Noah Baumbach’s film, Squid and the Whale (2005), The Berkman family is beset by a whole host of issues that stem from and precede the divorce of its two principle characters: Bernard and Joan. While the conflict is largely confined to the sphere of domestic life (infidelity, unhappiness, custody, finances, etc…), each family member (including Walt and Frank) struggles, in large part, from their desire to create and from their desire to have their creations heard, read, and understood.

Instructions:

Write a 4-5 page essay that engages one of the prompts below. Incorporate references to a minimum of 3 additional texts (beyond the film) that we’ve read and discussed in class. Read further instructions below.

• Joan, whether consciously or not, responds to and challenges the expectations that motherhood and matrimony place upon her. These challenges are understood in light of the work, the material set of arrangements, and the opportunities that arrive in the person of Ivan, her emergence as a writer, and the dissolving relationship between her and Bernard. Similarly, Peggy, from Tony Earley’s short story, “Here We Are in Paradise,” faces a new set of challenges with her diagnosis and invasive cancer. Surprisingly, we discover that she finds new ways to articulate her responses to her “world,” and this world, with its new textures and ever shifting dimensions, becomes abundantly real, even as it threatens to dissolve and fade away. For this paper, create an argument that works to frame, interpret, and examine notions of the women’s choices, especially as they pertain to expression (physical, domestic, emotional, social, historical, etc.) and the ways these expressions render and reveal desire (and its unusual manifestations—love, fear, anger, loss, pleasure, pain).

• A big part of this film centers on the slippery slope of familial discourse. That is, the terms of Joan and Bernard’s divorce take on multiple meanings, and impact Walt and Frank in far ranging ways. Does the rhetoric (“the art of persuasion”) of their agreement (or lack thereof) say anything about the family dynamic? Consider the conditions, and the terms, and the meanings associated with specific arrangements like “joint custody”, and designations such as “Philistine.” How do these arrangements, and designations, alongside any others you might identify, further complicate Walt’s (intellectual) and Frank’s (physical) development? Consider the tensions presented by the boy’s individual trajectories.

Instructions:

• Write a 4-5 page paper that engages one of the two prompts listed above.
• Create an engaging introduction that incorporates a quote(s), a brief overview of the subject, and a brief summary of the controversy.
• Be sure to situate your paper in the context of the topics presented in the film and the readings we’ve completed to this point of the semester.
• Consider the views that Noah Baumbach’s film, Squid and the Whale, is responding to. While you will want to identify the argument(s) presented in the film, ultimately you will construct your own argument in response to the arguments you encounter.
• Write a thesis statement that presents a stance that reveals and blends well-informed and a multi-faceted position.
• Write strong body paragraphs develop the idea found within your topic sentences.
• Incorporate a minimum of three sources according to MLA format.
• Write a strong conclusion that re-states your thesis and offers any further implications your findings have for the future of the subject.
• Be sure to use the texts we’ve covered in class: Rebecca Jo Plant’s chapter “Banishing the Suffering Mother: The Quest for Painless Childbirth”, Tony Earley’s “Here We Are in Paradise”, Rebecca Kulka’s “Ethics and Ideology in Breastfeeding Advocacy Campaigns”, and Anne-Marie Slaughter’s “Why Women Still Can’t Have it All”, and “Rhetorical Visions.”

First 6 Years / Final Paper

Dear Writer: Please follow the instructions carefully and kind pay attention to the grading rubric I've included to ensure the paper gets a good grade. Also, please run the paper through a grammar checker. My teacher uses Grammarly.com If you don't have account, I'll give you access to mine. He's a stickler for grammar. This is for a masters level social worker course, not sociology.
*There are 2 separate papers here. I will outline what I need for both below*
Paper #1 5 pages long and entitled First Six Years. Please fill out the included chart as past of the paper.

Take the information you inputted into the Table from Unit 4a about your first 6 years. Using three specific concepts from the life course perspective, apply and illustrate these concepts to events that occurred in the first 6 years of your life. (Alternatively, you can use another person for this assignment. Use someone who you know quite well). 3-4 pages.
Try to link the concepts and the events from the table into a cohesive piece written in a paragraph format. **This can be entirely fictional**

Paper #2 11 pages
In Unit 4, you have read about several different theoretical frameworks for understanding child development. For your final paper, apply concepts from the life course perspective and the risk and resilience perspective to describe one person’s early life adaptation. You can use yourself and the material you collected for the discussion boards, or, if you prefer, you can apply the concepts to someone else that you know well. If you are going to do someone else, use the table and texts to organize material.
A. Demonstrate your understanding of Bowlby and/or Mahler’s theories and apply them to specific transaction you viewed in your detailed parent/child observation. 3-4 pages.
B. Take the information you inputted into the Table from Unit 4a about your first 6 years. Using three specific concepts from the life course perspective, apply and illustrate these concepts to events that occurred in the first 6 years of your life. (Alternatively, you can use another person for this assignment. Use someone who you know quite well). 3-4 pages.
C. Demonstrate your understanding of the risk and resilience framework (Davies, Chapter 3), describe factors in your (or their) life by applying this model to your life or this other person’s (that you used above). Include risk and protective factors that were present in each of the three domains: the child, the parent and the environment. 3-4 pages.
D. Reflect on how the material for this course has altered how you might approach understanding yourself and future clients. 1 page.
**Please show a good an understanding as possible of Bowlby and/or Mahler’s theories**
**I will need a draft of the papers on May 8. Please remember to send both papers separately.**
Thanks for your time and effort.

Implementation Barriers and Policy Design Deficiencies

MAKE SURE NO plagiarism or misuse of quotations
Capella University online course, DPA8420

What happens when a policy and its associated programs do not work? Identify such a condition with a particular policy and its related programs. Next choose an analytical approach to assess the degree and scope of its deficiencies. Support your argument through relevant findings produced by an appropriate public oversight entity such as the GAO or the CBO as well as peer-reviewed journals. Describe your findings in detail, identifying any other analytical or assessment tools that would have supported your examination of this policy and program. Do the resources you are citing offer further insight into analytical tools or approaches you could have applied?

In addition to analyzing the policy and program deficiencies, identify two areas of the policy and explore the nature and scope of barriers that impeded their overall implementation.

The requirements for this assignment include:
•Written communication that is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
•Resources and citations are formatted according to APA (6th ed.) style and formatting.
•Minimum of 5 peer-reviewed or otherwise academically credible sources (including the report which contains the findings being discussed).
•Length of paper: 5–8 typed, double-spaced pages.
•Font and font size: Ariel, 12 point.
For this assignment, you will need to identify a policy and related programs that is not working well due to program deficiencies and barriers.

Per the prompt: “What happens when a policy and its associated programs do not work? Identify such a condition with a particular policy and its related programs. Next choose an analytical approach to assess the degree and scope of its deficiencies.

Support your argument through relevant findings produced by an appropriate public oversight entity such as the GAO or the CBO as well as peer-reviewed journals. Describe your findings in detail, identifying any other analytical or assessment tools that would have supported your examination of this policy and program. Do the resources you are citing offer further insight into analytical tools or approaches you could have applied?

In addition to analyzing the policy and program deficiencies, identify two areas of the policy and explore the nature and scope of barriers that impeded their overall implementation.”

So, for the assignment, you will need to look at a policy in which the GAO or CBO has looked at a policy. My suggestion is to look for a GAO or CBO report where they have studied a policy using both qualitative and quantitative methods, and where they have also done a Cost Benefit Analysis.

http://gao.gov/browse/date/week

https://www.cbo.gov/cost-estimates

For this assignment, you want to not only address the prompt, but the scoring guide:

• Applies appropriate tools and methods of policy analysis; explains rationale for the choices of tools and methods.

• Evaluates additional methods of analysis with discussion of what they would have added to the overall analysis had they been used.

• Critiques examples of public policy analysis and advocacy with evidence of citizen participation, and offers recommendations or assessments of that analysis.

• Demonstrates a superior academic writing style that is free of errors and through its clarity increases the reader's ability to engage with the material.

Ellen Foster

please do not make a factual statements or quotes without citing the article , author ,and page number – APA style!!!! not one word in this paper can come from a personal point of view everything has to fact based and cited – when citing please use author and page number – this is very important- make sure you reference resilience and Ellen\’s resilience throughout the paper this paper should focus on object relation theory, attachment theory and resilience. Please discuss racism and trauma, in regards to ellen. Instructions on what to include in this paper are included in the attachments, Ellens Story is also attached the rest of the articles can be used throughout and all must be cited

Argumentative Essay

The topic and thesis must be approved by me before you can write on it.

The paper must be formatted as shown in the handout What A Research Paper Should Look Like. This means proper heading, margins, title that does not include \”Research Paper\” or something that would turn it in to an assignment instead of an essay. Make up a title that does not include the assignment name.

It must be 1000 words which does not include heading, title, or Works Cited..

It must NOT use first person. It must not use second person \”you.\”

It must include a thesis in the first paragraph, as this will be a persuasive paper. Do not ask questions anywhere in the essay. Use statements instead.

It must use internal citations.

It must have a Works Cited at the end which uses at least three relevant sources. All sources must be different from each other. All must be relevant, meaning, related to the field and not to something that is just opinions about opinions. Wikipedia, the Encyclopedia, Dictionaries are not acceptable sources for your topic. You must do actual reading in the field of your topic. Do not use magazines like Washington Post that just happens to have an opinion article in it about your topic.

This is not a comparison/contrast paper. Those end with people being aware of the differences between two things and then it is left to them to decide which is best for them. Argument papers attempt to persuade someone of something. You might want to persuade someone that autism is not related to vaccines. Then you would use actual statistics from the CDC or real sources to show a lack of causal relationship.

You must be sure that there is a counterargument addressed somewhere in the paper. In other words, the only time you need a persuasive argument paper is when you are trying to persuade someone who believes something that reasonable adults believe. \”Smoking is bad for you\” is not a thesis because there is no one who needs to be persuaded of this who is an intelligent reasonable adult.

There must be a conclusion to your paper that is not just a repeat of the thesis statement.

MY TOPIC IS: Education. I want to talk about how they are changing the system and what the best teaching method is for students. Also, make sure it doesn\’t sound too professional. I need it to sound like I actually wrote it lol but thank you.
