ENG 102 Paper Assignment 2
I have chosen compassion as a topic. The book that I will be using for this assignment is “The Man of Feeling by Henry Mackenzie.”It should be done in 5 pages. Unlike last time, there is a research requirement with this paper. Be sure to link the evidence and claims explicitly in the essay, have an arguable thesis statement at the end of the introductory paragraph, and use transitions and topic and concluding sentences. The three outside sources could be used to situate your work of literature within the tradition of what other scholars have said. The free sources could also provide relevant biographical information about your author or the time period in which the work of literature was written .
The rule of thumb for analytical papers is two quotations per body paragraph, and paragraphs that are 3/4 of a page long. Essays should be in 12-point, double-spaced, Times New Roman font. Please keep plot summary to a minimum (less than 20% of the paper). You should use at least three sources in addition to your text book, and they should be cited in the proper MLA format.

Research Paper Using Word
This assignment has two goals: 1) have students, via research, increase their understanding of impacts of information
technology on current world issues, and 2) learn to correctly use the tools and techniques within Word to format a research
paper, including use of available References and citation tools. These skills will be valuable throughout a student’s
academic career.
The paper will require a title page, NO abstract, three to five full pages of content with incorporation of a minimum of 3
external resources from credible sources and a Works Cited/References page. Wikipedia and similar general information
sites, blogs or discussion groups are not considered creditable sources for a research project. No more than 10% of the
paper may be in the form of a direct citation from an external source. Choose your topic from the list of topics that follow
these organization steps.

Topic: Moral Acceptability of Zoos Formulate a position that fits within the general topic of the moral acceptability of zoos. This is a broad topic; you will need to narrow it down in order to formulate a position you can support in a short paper. The resources listed below are assigned reading for the course, and background for your paper. In addition to citing whichever one or more of these resources is relevant to your paper, make meaningful reference to at least one assigned ethical theorist’s work in addition to Bisgould, and excluding Regan, Singer, and Francione. (Also review general directions on the previous page.) Narrowing the topic (and your position): Arguing that zoos are morally unacceptable or morally acceptable is too much to take on in a short paper. Here are a few ways to narrow the topic by formulating your position in a way that allows you to focus on an aspect of the larger debate. These are not your only options; they are intended as illustrations. And they are not mutually exclusive; you could combine several of the suggestions. None guarantees a sufficiently narrow topic. • make the position conditional • limit the focus to certain kinds of zoos, or zoos with certain purposes • discuss a particular ethical theory or theorist in support of your position • limit your discussion to a certain kind/category/species of animal, as Moore does. • focus on one of the arguments for or against zoos by, for example, offering an objection. You can find arguments for and against zoos in Bisgould’s article and also in the documentary. Resources: 1. Leslie Bisgould, “Gay Penguins and Other Inmates in the Canadian Legal System”. Bisgould opposes keeping animals in zoos, but her discussion introduces key arguments in support of zoos. Note that the broader framework and conclusion of her argument is legal, whereas your paper will focus on ethics. 2. “Zoo Revolution”, a 45-minute CBC documentary (CBC Doc Zone) This documentary provides, through interviews, a variety of arguments both for and against zoos. 3. Richard Moore, “There is a moral argument for keeping great apes in zoos”. Moore’s perspective contrasts with Bisgould’s. 4. Brendan Borrell, “How Zoos Kill Elephants” (very short). 5. Anna Peterson, “Wild Animals”.

Prepare a
five to seven (5-7) minute persuasive speech
in which you prepare a speech with the overall goal of
persuading
our audience of a topic of your choice. You will provide the instructor your topic for this speech in a discussion for approval.
You
may use Monroe’s Motivated Sequence
organizational pattern from chapter 13 for this assignment.
You will use at least five (5) pieces of evidence from chapter 12 (statistics, testimony, examples) of which two may be the same (for example: you could use two stats, two testimonies, and one example).
You must use at least five (5) outside sources (three of which may be from the Internet; sources from Wikipedia may not be used). At least two sources must be physical sources such as books, magazines, newspapers, etc.
A
visual aid is required
for your persuasive speech. The object(s) you choose must be large enough for your immediate audience to see and for the instructor to see on the speech video. You may use a Power Point slide on a large screen, enlarged photos, etc. However, if the object is not large enough to be seen in detail on the video the instructor will not be able to provide feedback or points (due to the lack of ability to view the visual aid object).
Your speech will include the following:
Introduction (Attention)
Attention getter statement (consider a quote, short story, fun fact, etc.)
Central Idea
Credibility Statement
Preview of Main Points
Body
3 Main Points (Need, Satisfaction, Visualization)
Transitions (between all sections of your speech)
You can choose your own transition or consider using: “Now that I have told you about _________, I’m going to tell you about _________.”
Conclusion (Action)
Review of Main Points
Clincher Statement (consider a quote, an idea you want your audience to remember, etc.)

You will have to prepare a “policy brief” as a final assignment for this course. It will help you explore in greater depth some of the key topics that we cover in class.
You will have to write the brief as if you are the Secretary of Health and I (Dr. Whembolua) am the Minister of Finance of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. You have to choose ONE among the 2 following different health problems (Malaria in Nigeria) and write an individual paper.
Your brief answers five questions that are central to policy making about global health:
• Nature and Magnitude: What is the extent of this health problem?
• Affected Populations: Who gets it?
• Risk Factors: Why do they get it?
• Economic and Social Consequences: Why should the Minister of Finance and the President care about this problem?
• Priority Action Steps: What can we do at least cost and as fast as possible to address the issue and improve the health of our people?
The briefs begin with a summary paragraph – since the Minister of Finance is so busy that he has little time for more than the “30 second elevator speech.”
These briefs should be very concise, precise, and evidence-based. The briefs should use data and be well argued. Make sure to include more information on costs and on comparisons with other countries. It is an individual assignment; make sure you write it individually.

Papers should reflect your meaningful reflection, commentary, and analysis on the range of readings and course topics addressed through the class. Papers should connect to your personal experiences as they relate to the material. Responses should be of high academic quality and provide a thorough analysis.
Recommended Guiding Questions:
You may select 1 of the following questions to respond to in preparing your written reflection.
What is the impact of socialization, ethnicity, and culture on the lives of women?
How have the various waves of women’s liberation movements in the US. and issues of equality versus difference impacted our understanding of women’s issues of (in)justice? or
How do creativity and personal testimony serve as political forms of resistance and how do these methodologies and practices combat the mechanics of erasure?
Her
e are a few tips and examples for writing a critical journal response:
Introduce the topic you are discussing
(examples include lectures, discussions/forums, chapters read, etc.):
“In the chapter _____________ by/on ____________ . . . ”
During the discussion on [date], . . .”
Have a reaction:
“I [dis]agreed with,”/ “I appreciated,” / “I couldn’t believe” AND state why.
Make connections to previous knowledge or specific topic:
“I had always thought/learned/believed . . . about race/class/gender/identity/etc.”
Be specific:
Give details as best as you can and analyze or deconstruct (take apart) what is being argued, said, written, or produced about the topic.
Analyze the message:
How has this article/lecture/class discussion affected your understanding of women of color.

This is a Social Science course called ” Introduction to women studies” and I have to write a research portfolio 2 – 3 pages.
Students will research a topic of their choice (as it relates to course content).Topic signups will happen online within the second week of class. Students will self -assign to a “task force.” The task force is meant to place you in a supportive group of students so that you can lean on each other for support, feedback, and brainstorm inspiration. You are by no means required to work as or connect to the group , as the assignment itself is an individual assignment. I have found that those who do connect with their peers do exceptionally well on the assignment itself. The individual research assignment consists of the following three components:
Research
: Spend some time researching your topic and local organization. Make connections to course readings AND bring in additional outside materials from popular culture, social media, and the library. Remember to also reference the research you conducted on the organizational highlight.
CreativeComponent:
Create a visual representation that captures your findings and conveys your ideas. Connect your ideas to your theory of change. Ideas for creative representations of your slides/videos include comic strip style sketches, online magazine, slideshows, poster campaigns, collages, a curated box, an electronic gallery of a curated exhibit that highlights themes in your research, a podcast segment created by you, a video interview, etc. Be creative! You are not limited to the ideas mentioned here.
Individual Paper
: Each individually written paper will be 2 -3 pages in length, typed, and shall be submitted online on the date indicated in the Course Schedule. The paper should be analytical and focused on your topic . In the past, some students have chosen to integrate their paper within the creative visual project itself – that is completely acceptable.

Issues in Criminal Justice
Most of the national focus on criminal justice is on the federal criminal justice system. However, an overwhelming majority of all offenders are arrested, convicted and incarcerated at the state or local levels. As such, understanding the reality of criminal justice policies and practices at your local level are immediately more pertinent than understanding those at the federal level. Furthermore, the challenges at the local level are usually more consequential and impactful to the communities they serve.
To Prepare:
Imagine you are a consultant who was hired to research, analyze, and present a report to the police chief and mayor of a major U.S. city of your choice. Your presentation must identify the city you selected and two contemporary criminal justice policies or procedures that are challenging that city. For each policy or procedure, provide evidence-based solutions to each, including a visual representation of quantitative data relevant to each.
Some examples of policies and procedures you might select include sanctuary cities and immigration enforcement, police body cameras, anti-terrorism, public shooters, response to civil unrest, criminal prosecution of police officers, or a different topic approved by your Instructor.
The Assignment:
Using the attached APA Course Paper Template, in 4?5 pages, your report should include:
· A brief (no more than 1 paragraph) introduction of two contemporary criminal justice policies or procedures that are challenging that city. Be sure to indicate the city.
· An explanation of why the policies or procedures are challenging the city, referencing 2–3 credible resources.
· A proposed evidence-based solution for each policy or practice that is challenging the city (each solution should be at least 1 page each).
· A visual representation of quantitative data relevant to each solution, to demonstrate its prior success.
Please use the rubric to ensure all points are captured in you work.
