Marriage Equality

Marriage equality has been a politically salient issue in the United States for at least the last half century, and was only finally addressed, in the context of gay couples, by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2015. Although the ideal of equality is central to the debate over gay marriage, much of the periphery rhetoric includes sentiments such as “gay marriage doesn’t hurt anyone” and “you should be able to marry the person you love.” If you support gay marriage for these reasons, would you also support polygamy for similar reasons? The argument has been made that the United States already supports a form of polygamy, which would be multiple marriages at different times rather than at once. Most of us know individuals who have been married two and three times; some of us know people who have been married four and five times. Although this practice isn’t celebrated in our society, it is nonetheless legal and to a certain extent socially acceptable. 

 

Recently, the Utah state legislature passed an expanded anti-bigamy law (check out link below for more information). Applying the same rationale to polygamist as gays, should polygamy be legalized? For the sake of discussion, we will assume polygamy would be regulated in a similar manner as today’s marriages, which means if a divorce isn’t amicable, a judge intervenes and determines child custody arrangements, monetary issues, property distribution, etc. Therefore, if an adult is in love with two individuals at once, both of who are at least 18, aware of and in agreement with the nature of the relationship, should they be allowed to get married? What is your stance on the issue and why? Be sure to keep it consistent with your position on gay marriage.

Argument Rubric | Argumentative Sample

If the assignment does not address one of the given options, it will not be graded. 

 

Option #1: Your Position on Pirated Movies

Develop a thesis statement on the topic of pirated movies (piracy hurts the economy by…, society can prevent movie piracy by…, etc.) and write an argumentative essay. Strive for at least three strong arguments in addition to a counterargument and refutation (this resource) ill help you craft your counter argument and refutation). Using argumentative topic sentences that include your opinion for each section can help ensure the majority of your essay is argumentative. Beginning of a sample topic sentence: “The first way movie piracy hurts the economy is….” Then be sure to support that claim with researched data. Conclude each paragraph with a sentence that summarizes the paragraph’s main ideas. 

Sample Thesis Statement: 
Ideally, a thesis would include the major assignment objectives for the essay, which in this case would be your claim/opinion, reasons why you have that opinion, and the counter-argument: “Movie piracy is unethical because (add argument 1), (add argument 2), and (add argument 3), even though (add counterargument focus).” Note that a thorough thesis statement will include the counterargument in addition to your own arguments. 

See The Top Ten Tips for College-Level Writing (Presentation) for more thesis statement assistance. 

Use at least three credible sources (the author should be considered an expert on the topic in which he or she writes; try Google Scholar to search), such as books, articles, and websites, to support your thesis. Include a mix of cited paraphrases, summaries, and quotes in your argumentative research paper. Use MLA format (Tip: You will find useful MLA resources within the course topics, particularly in Topic 9) to create proper parenthetical citations as well as a Works Cited page at the end of your essay. For additional Works Cited assistance visit http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/and use the left navigation menu to locate the type of reference you need.

Option #2: Your Position on Electronic Policing

Develop a thesis statement on the topic of electronic policing and anti-plagiarism software and write an argumentative essay. Your chosen topic needs to be specific and might address a question like the ones you see in these examples:

  • Should student writers be subject to having their work checked by anti-plagiarism software? Why or why not? 
  • Is anti-plagiarism software an effective deterrent to stealing published work? Why or why not? 
  • You may choose another topic regarding electronic policing as well; just be sure that your main thesis addresses the topic of electronic policing. 

Strive for at least three strong arguments in addition to a counterargument and refutation (this resource) will help you craft your counter argument and refutation). Using argumentative topic sentences that include your opinion for each section can help ensure the majority of your essay is argumentative. For example, “First, students should be subject to having their work checked by anti-plagiarism software because….” Then be sure to support that claim with researched data. Conclude each paragraph with a sentence that summarizes the paragraph’s main ideas.

Sample Thesis Statement:
Ideally, a thesis would include the major assignment objectives for the essay, which in this case would be your claim/opinion, reasons why you have that opinion, and the counter-argument: “Students’ work should be checked by anti-plagiarism software because (add argument 1), (add argument 2), and (add argument 3), even though (add counterargument focus).” 

Use at least three credible sources (the author should be considered an expert on the topic in which he or she writes; try Google Scholar to search), such as books, articles, and websites, to support your thesis. Include a mix of cited paraphrases, summaries, and quotes in your argumentative research paper. Use the MLA format to create proper parenthetical citations as well as a Works Cited page at the end of your essay.

More Tips 

Visit http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/588/01/ for more argumentative thesis statement assistance and to learn if your thesis is both arguable and narrowed.

A counter-argument section for this paper should explain what the opposition believes, and it is the opposite of the opinion you are arguing in your paper. For example, if you are arguing that anti-plagiarism software should not be used in college classes, then the counterargument would be that anti-plagiarism software should be used. Then in your refutation, try to prove the counterargument false, insignificant, or unimportant with researched information that is new to the essay (avoid recycling facts from a previous argument in the essay). 

This resource will help you craft your counter argument and refutation.

The guidelines and requirements for this assignment are as follows:

Remember to apply the concepts you’re learning in the course, including elements of grammar, punctuation, thesis development, and other skills.

Question

Establishing Theme

Select a movie from AFI’s 10 Top 10 http://www.afi.com/10top10/

 lists and explain how three cinematic techniques and/or design elements have helped establish a major theme in that film.

·         Describe a major theme of the movie you have selected using evidence from the movie itself as well as course resources and other scholarly sources to support your position.

·         Identify at least three techniques (cinematography, lighting, acting style, or direction) and/or design elements (set design, costuming, or hair and makeup), and explain how these techniques and/or design elements contribute to the establishment of the theme. Reference particular scenes or sequences in your explanations.

·         State your opinion regarding the mise en scène, including

·         How the elements work together.

·         How congruent the design elements are with the theme of the movie.

·         Whether or not other techniques would be as effective (Explain your reasoning).

 

Note: Remember that a theme is an overarching idea that recurs throughout the plot of a film. It is the distilled essence of what the film is about, the main design which the specific scenes and actions lead a viewer to understand.

 

Your paper should be organized around a thesis statement that focuses on how the elements of your chosen feature-length film both establish and maintain one of its major themes. Review the Week Three sample paper, which provides an example of a well-developed analysis as well as insight on composition.

.

 

You must use at least two scholarly sources other than the textbook to support your claims. Refer to the ENG225 Research Guide in the Ashford University Library for guidance and to locate your sources. Cite your sources (including the feature-length film) within the text of your paper and on the reference page. For information regarding APA, including samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center.

 

 

Please note that if you opt to write about the same film in your Final Film Critique, applicable pieces of this assignment can be used to write that assignment. Please also note that you should reflect on and revise this assignment based on the instructor’s feedback before you incorporate it into the Final Film Critique.

 

 

Assignment 1: Victims’ Rights and the Dos and Don’ts of Interviewing Crime Victims

/in /by

Assignment 1: Victims’ Rights and the Dos and Don’ts of Interviewing Crime Victims

You are a police investigator in Centervale. Recently, there have been complaints from prosecutors, as well as several victims, about the interview techniques used by law enforcement (both first responders and investigators). The prosecution is losing cases because of inadmissible statements made to law enforcement by victims and witnesses in response to improper questioning. Because of their bad experiences early in the investigations, some victims refuse to come to court and testify. There are continuous complaints by victim services specialists that first responders do not provide victims with all their rights as governed by law.

The chief of police in Centervale is concerned about lawsuits and unsatisfied victims and asks you, one of the most experienced detectives of the Centervale Police Department, to attend patrol briefings and train officers in some dos and don’ts of interviewing victims of crime, especially women and children. You are also asked to go over some of the most important victims’ rights that could cause the most legal trouble if not followed properly by the Centervale Police Department.

You realize that a proper interviewing lesson could take eight to sixteen hours, and you know law enforcement must strictly follow numerous victims’ rights, but you have been given only fifteen to twenty minutes in which to teach, what you feel is the most important information.

Submission Details:

By Saturday, June 10, 2017, in a minimum of 250 words, post to the Discussion Area your responses to the following:

  • Identify and describe the training information you feel would be most important, if you had only ten minutes to teach law enforcement officers about:
    • Interviewing women and children
    • Crime victims’ rights
  • Give your reasoning for the training information that you identified as most important for both training programs.

Note: Use the textbook readings, the Argosy University online library, and any other outside sources to complete this assignment.

By Wednesday, June 14, 2017, respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts. Comment on any points that you agree or disagree with and any point you feel should or should not be included in the training programs. Explain your reasons for your agreement and disagreement. In reality, law enforcement personnel may not always get adequate training in interviewing women and children. Therefore, critically analyze your classmates’ responses to consider only the most important points that should be included in a training program.

Instructions:  The responses should include answering the main discussion questions, fully, including proper cites as well.  If you use citations, I should be able to look it up to use for reference to understand.  (USE ALL AMERICAN PUBLICATIONS, CITATIONS AND RESOURCES FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT!)  The professor requires that the questions be restated and then answered for the discussion questions.  I higlighted the questions in “bold” so you would know exaclty which onea to restate and answer.  If this is not done, it is his option to deduct formatting points and I could get a “0” for the work.  This discussions questions “does not” require APA style.  Discussion Questions Set 1 should be about two pages and Discussion Questions Set 2 should be about two pages.  The more the in-depth the information is the better as long as you fully answer each set of discussions.  I have to copy and post to the discussion board.  All work should be original with no plagiarism and in proper English grammar.

 

Discussion Questions Set 1 “Job Applicants” Please respond to the following:

 

Examine two ways that companies can recruit qualified job applicants. Determine which method may be most effective and predict how it could benefit the company when hiring new employees.

Go to O*Net Online’s Website and review at least two (2) different occupation descriptions. Next, compare the two selected occupation descriptions. Recommend two changes to make the occupation descriptions more marketable. Provide examples to support your recommendations. Be sure to provide details of the occupation descriptions in case others want to use them.

When we discuss a recruiting strategy we should not only look at recruiting a certain number of people, but also find staff who have requisite skills, knowledge and experience to meet the goals of the business and organization.  Indeed, when we look at recruiting applicants we must determine the skills, knowledge and experience that is needed.  20 years ago recruiting largely depended on advertisements in newspapers, professional magazines, or recruiters.  However, the advent of technology, and in particular social media, has redefined how recruiting is done.  When you look to answer the first part of our discussion for this week ask yourself not only what are the best ways to find applicants, but how do you determine who is a qualified applicant?

 Discussion Questions Set 2 “Company Competitive Advantage” Please respond to the following:

 

Propose two ways that a company can gain a competitive advantage over other companies when striving to recruit job applicants. Determine whether technology has assisted or hindered the process. 

Imagine you are head of the HR department, and you have been asked to review two applicants for the sales clerk position at your company. Alice, the first applicant has 10 years of experience in sales work, but can be easily distracted. She will not work on commission and cannot work weekends. She can be a little obstinate, but has an excellent job history. Mary, the second applicant, has one-year experience, but very congenial and loves working with people. Her work schedule is very flexible, but she can become a little stressed at times and has been known for having to quietly leave and regroup for a short time. Determine which candidate would be the “right fit”. Support your decision by describing the thought process that lead up to your decision. 

When we discuss competitive advantage and HR it is important that we agree on what is the end goal for HR to give an organization an competitive advantage.  If we look at what the goal of strategic HR is it simply strategies that are used to generate the strategic capability to ensure that the organization, and business unit, has the requisite employees who are skilled, committed, and motivated.  To accomplish this HR must look to achieve two (2) main goals: (1) integration of HR strategies, vertically, with business strategies and other HR Strategies, and; (2) provide a sense of direction in an ever changing business environment to the organization, the business unit and the employees.  Now, when we look at recruiting as a competitive advantage we recognize that human capital that possesses the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities gives the organization an advantage over another organization.  However, the simple identification of human capital for talent acquisition and retention does not end there.  Consideration must be given on how to develop acquired human capital not only for the present, but for the future.  Indeed, forward thinking organizations do not hire for now, but hire for then.  With the advent of technology in talent acquisition that issue then turns to how can HR leverage technology to attract and retain top talent?  Further, how can HR technology interface with business technology to develop forecasting models that not only predict current needs, but helps forecast for future needs?

Angiosperms (flowering plants) are the largest Phylum in the plant kingdom Plantae. (Note that the Phylum Angiospermophyta may also be called Anthophyta or Magnoliophyta in different classification systems.)

These plants have true roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. The roots grow into the soil to anchor the plant in place and take up water and nutrients. The leaves are above ground and act as the main organs for photosynthesis. Stems provide above ground support for the plant and operate as conduits to move nutrients and water throughout the plant. Flowers contain the male and female reproductive organs of the plant.

Assignment Details

Part 1

Plants develop specialized roots, stems, leaves, and flowers to make them better adapted to their environment. People exploit many of these modifications as vegetables. An example of this is the taproot of carrots. The carrot plant stores sugars in the taproot to supply energy for the formation of flowers in later development. People dig up and eat the taproots while the sugar content is still high. Complete the following:

  • Describe the anatomy (structure) and physiology (function) of a plant. Is the structure of your plant a modification from the standard root, stem, leaf, or flower?
  • Explain how this structure differs from the standard root, stem, leaf, or flower.
  • Compare the plant that you have chosen, its structure, and its function with 1 or more of your classmates’ choices.

Part 2

Animals are important for humans in ways other than providing food. Medicines, clothing, beauty, fuel, air quality, building materials, and industrial products are a few of the ways in which humans exploit animals. Complete the following:

  • Choose 1 product or benefit that people get from animals (besides food), describe it, and explain how people benefit.
  • Which do you think is the most important benefit of animals? Select 1 benefit and explain.
  • List 3 adaptations that animals have that plants do not have.
