(What area does it pertain to? What’s the problem or issue? Why is it important?) • A discussion of how your policy made it onto the government’s agenda. (Who were the policy entrepreneurs? Was there a particular event that galvanized public support, etc.? What caused this policy issue to be chosen?) • The key factors in its formulation. (Were there hurdles? If so, what were they? What method of policy formulation was used?) • The specifics of its implementation. (Which level of government was responsible for implementing the policy? Why? What were your policy’s outputs?) • An evaluation of your policy. (Did your policy work? If not, why? Was it due to formulation or implementation problems?

Conduct research on the representation of race, gender, sexual orientation, and/or ethnicity in American culture, particularly in film, advertisements, news media, and/or sports.

Conduct research on the representation of race, gender, sexual orientation, and/or ethnicity in American culture, particularly in film, advertisements, news media, and/or sports. Your essay should pursue some of the following questions, though not all of them will be relevant, and many more will present themselves as you conduct your research: How do these images and representations affect the mainstream American perceptions of race, gender, sexual orientation, or culture? What effects do these representations have on the cultures and groups being represented? Your essay should be between 1500 and 2000 words. You must include a Works Cited page, NOT an Annotated Bibliography. Your Works Cited page does not contribute to your word count. You must cite at least five sources, including at least one scholarly article (peer-reviewed). You may use as many essays from the texts as you want, but you may only count one of them toward your five source minimum. You may use dictionaries or encyclopedias (including Wikipedia), but they are probably unnecessary and they do not count as part of your five sources.

Assignment: Compare and Contrast Paper Students are to select two companies to compare and contrast the organizational culture of both companies. This assignment works best if you select organizations that have extreme cultural differences. As you construct the document, consider the comparison content (similarities) and the contrast content (differences). 1. Clarify a point(s) that is already known or understood about the organizations. 2. Highlight the similarities and differences. 3. Emphasize why one organization’s culture is more effective than the other. There are several ways to construct the document but the following are the most common. 1. Point by point (Most commonly used) 2. Subject by subject Point by point Introduction: The thesis statement introduces the specific topic. For example, IBM and Xerox are excellent companies to work at, but each company has different ideas toward performance promotions. (The assignment should focus on the organization’s culture). This information is usually found in the mission/vision statements of the company. Body of the Paragraph 1: IBM requires an employee to work for the company five years before being considered for a promotion based on performance. Xerox will promote an employee six months after receiving their first performance evaluation. Body of Paragraph 2: IBM believes in promoting from within the organization, whereas Xerox usually seeks external applicants to promote. Conclusion: Summary of main points. Significance of the topic. The assignment should adhere to the 6th edition of the APA manual. All written assignments are required to be a minimum of 4 pages (title and reference pages are not included) and no longer than 10 pages. Four pages for this assignment should be sufficient to indicate that you have an understanding of the companies you are comparing and contrasting.
