The goal of this paper is to construct a fair-minded, unbiased, analytical analysis of a topic in a comprehensive essay.

• This is not an opinion piece or a persuasive essay that simply aims to prove or reinforce what you already believe. This would be confirmation bias, and bias must be avoided in this project.
• This project needs to avoid harsh rhetoric or language that is harmful and hurtful in nature. The point is to be objective and unemotional in your approach.
• This essay should be written in a fair, academic, respectful, and analytical manner regardless of any of your opinions, feelings, or preconceived notions about the topic.
• Both sides of your topic must be treated with equal attention, both in terms of the number and quality of sources and in the depth and breadth of their presentation in your essay. Both sides should be addressed in the same number of paragraphs in roughly equivalent detail, and should be supported by the same number of quality sources.
• You must identify and define rhetorical devices and logical fallacies on both sides of the argument. Be sure you indicate which specific rhetorical device and fallacy you have found, and there is evidence in your sources of these course concepts in practice that is cited in your paper.
• You will present statements and claims for analyzing both sides of the topic. Only then should you state you own conclusion as an objective, critical thinker given the information presented.

**********************ATTENTION:

Essay Format: Your essay must be 5–7 pages (1600–1900 words) in length. The abstract, title page, and reference list do not count in the page or word count. The essay must have the following elements:

• Times New Roman
• 12-point

• Proper Level I and Level II APA section headings for all major sections of the essay
• All other applicable APA formatting

Required Elements:

• A properly formatted APA title page
• A properly formatted APA abstract
• Body of the paper
  • Introduction: Identify the issue. Provide the necessary background and/or important recent developments. Define key terms and concepts. Engage the reader and explain the broader significance of the issue.
  • Arguments and Counterarguments: Summarize the best arguments on both sides of the issue. Include relevant research from credible sources used to support each conclusion. Devote at least one paragraph to each side.
  • Evaluation of Critical Thinking: Assess the strength of the arguments and the quality of thinking surrounding this issue.
    • Identify weaknesses in critical thinking such as fallacies, rhetorical devices, vague language, and cognitive biases. Provide specific examples of how these weaknesses appear in arguments you encountered, using terminology and definitions from the course. Be specific! Present evidence from your sources that show these fallacies/biases being used.
    • Evaluate the quality of scientific and anecdotal evidence using the standards of inductive and deductive reasoning described in the course. Consider the quality of causal relationship, analogies, generalizations, and/or moral reasoning.
  • Conclusion: Analyze the totality of research and offer a critical thinker’s response to the issue. Identify your own position and experience with the issue and explain how your thinking of the subject has evolved as a result of your analysis. Your conclusion does not have to be absolute, but it should not be equivocal. If both sides have good arguments, which is better, even if only slightly better, and what is the argument that tips the scales in the sides’ favor? Why does that point tip the scales?
• A properly formatted APA reference list
  • Sources should appear in alphabetical order according to the last name of the first author listed on the source.
  • If there is no author(s), then the source should be cited by title or organization.

Sources and Research Sources: You must use five scholarly or academic sources and all research should be published within the last five years. Sources not scholarly or academic in nature may affect your grade. It is highly recommended that most of your research be conducted via the WCU Library.

Eligible sources listed best-to-worst:

• Peer-reviewed journal articles
  • Peer review is the process that allows scientists to trust the reliability of published journal articles. The only way to tell if a journal article has been peer reviewed is to look for information about the journal, normally on the publisher’s website. Most databases do not indicate if an article is peer reviewed or not.
  • The WCU library contains many of peer-reviewed sources. This is going to be the most desired type of evidence to use for any paper at WCU.
• Scholarly research articles
  • Research articles (original research articles, primary research articles, or case studies) are your standard scientific articles. Most often published in peer-reviewed journals, primary research articles report on the findings of a scientist’s work.
  • They almost always include a description of how the research was conducted and what the results mean. This is also a highly desirable type of research to use for your papers.
• Government and state reports
  • Many government agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institute of Mental Health (NIHM), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) may have studies and statistics that may be useful for your topic. However, these sources are usually informational reports in nature, and therefore they rarely dig into the critical arguments used by the sides of a topic.
  • Though usually credible and reliable source, government reports should generally be used as supplemental, secondary sources to support or rebut academic sources. They should not be the main sources of your argument.
• Other articles or sources
  • When this general term is used for an assignment, get clarification from your instructor about the source requirements. These are articles or sources that have been well researched and include a lot of citations. When you assess these resources, make sure that they are appropriate to use as evidence because they may contain bias. You should look at the sources these articles are using, determine if they are legitimate, reputable, and credible, and then make a judgment call.
  • These types of articles are the least desirable type of articles from the list of acceptable types to use (depending on each course’s expectations).
    • Review articles
    • Editorials, opinion, commentary, and perspectives
    • Trade publication articles
    • Technical reports
    • Documentaries
    • Interviews or TED talks

***************************Sources that may not be used on this essay include the following*******************************

• • Wikipedia and information from freelance websites (check with your professor before using these sources)
  • Information from general or reference sources such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, general information websites, or other reference works online or in print. Check with your teacher regarding textbooks from other courses or other sources if you are not sure.
  • Articles from publications or magazines that lack research to back up their claims
  • Religious texts of any kind
  • Obviously or highly biased sources that contain no credible or reputable support

Avoiding plagiarism: Remember that avoiding plagiarism is priority number one for credible academic writers.

• • It is always better to cite and attribute to a source than not to cite. If you are ever unsure, cite and attribute.
  • Anything that you copy word-for-word from a source must be quoted, attributed to its original source, and parenthetically cited in APA Style.
  • Anything that you take from a source and put into your own words must be both attributed to its original source and parenthetically cited in APA Style.

Part 1 of assignment:

Analyze one of the following periods of life, from a BioPsychoSocial perspective:

Prenatal Development
Infancy/Toddlerhood (0-2)
Early Childhood (2-7)
Middle Childhood (7-12)
Adolescence (12-18)

Middle Adulthood (40-65)
Late Adulthood (65 and up)

Specifically, discuss some of the most important physical, cognitive, and social developments that take place in your chosen age period. Do not simply offer an opinion (as good as it may be), but instead address specific research and theory (e.g., Piaget’s Cognitive Developmental Theory, Erikson’s Psychosocial Developmental Theory, etc.). Address how development in that specific stage is influenced by biological, psychological, and socio-cultural factors. 

Part 2 of assignment:

Apply the BioPsychoSocial perspective to the topic of COVID-19. Responses should be 1/2 page minimum, double-spaced, size 12 pt. font, MLA format and can be related to any aspect of the pandemic, as long as it addresses biological, psychological, and socio-cultural elements.

I’m trying to learn for my History class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

1) Why might it be important to briefly learn about the peoples’ history of the Valley of Mexico, Central America, and South America before discussing the first peoples of the modern-day United States based on the textbook chapter? In other words, how might the history of the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, and Inca encourage us to think differently about the popular narrative/mainstream history of the US?

2) What were some key points/quotes that resonated with you from this week’s textbook chapter, “Follow the Corn,” and why? Please include specific examples.

3) How might the textbook chapter connect to one of our key terms from last week? How and why?

4) What are your thoughts/reactions to Winona LaDuke’s TED Talk? What might the points discussed be significant in our understanding of this week’s material?

5) What were your previous understandings of Christopher Columbus, or what did you learn about him in grade school? How did both articles challenge your previous perspective of Christopher Columbus?

6) Compare/contrast the authors’ perspectives from the “Columbus Day Comic” and the “Flawed Critique of Columbus Day.”

7) What does the term “Doctrine of Discovery” mean, and what is its significance as we analyze US history from an Indigenous perspective?

8)  In the textbook, what does the chapter title “Culture of Conquest” mean/refer to? What were some key passages in the chapter that stood out to you, and why?

For this assignment you will need to compare the three main Sociological Perspectives (Structural Functionalist, Social Conflict Theory, and Symbolic Interactionist) as well as researching one of the main theorists (Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, Karl Marx, and Talcott Parsons).

The first portion of your essay should focus on one of the theorists listed above or you may choose another theorist if you like as long as a majority of their work was/is based in Sociology.  

The second portion of the essay should focus on the comparison of the three theories listed above.  

1 page of text minimum per portion (meaning 1 page for theorist and 1 page for the theoretical comparison), no maximum. The only information I need is your name in the top left corner. One full page of text is approximately 600-650 words single spaced in Word or its equivalent.  Your total submission should be at least 1200 words. Please make sure to submit as 1 essay with both portions included.  

References and citations required for outside information.

1 Page per topic – 1 page for the theory portion and 1 page of the theorist portion.  2 pages minimum with a combined 1200 word minimum requirement. You can upload both as a single document rather than two separate items.

It is typically easier to create the document in Word and then copy and paste it into the text box when submitting the assignment.  Please make sure to always save a copy of the document on your personal computer or flash drive for retrieval if need be.

In conclusion, you will need to submit a 2 page essay with half of focusing on the comparison of the three theories and the other half focusing on the theorist of your choice.
