The Big Bad Research Paper

The time has come to unleash all the knowledge and power we have acquired to advocate for change. Aren’t we tired of all the bad news we’ve been reading? Who wants to continue to see and hear about our world dying, of our clean water and oil running out, of all the trees and the ecosystems that they allow to exist being destroyed, of people suffering through injustice after injustice, be it political, social or economic? Of nasty stuff, literal and metaphorical, that is in our fast food? Aren’t we ready for some change? Let’s talk change, people.

In this essay, you will write 6-7 pages of well-developed, fully-thought-out argument that presents the current state of affairs of your chosen issue (possibly from different angles) and a realistic, pragmatic solution.

All should be based on research to the best of your ability. You’ll want to work with 3-4 sources max. These sources may include ROS2, one documentary of your choosing, other articles we’ve read in class and your own research. Sources should be credible and reliable.

For your issue/topic: choose an issue that is local and/or relatively personal, affecting people and/or the environment and/or both.

This means you should focus on issues that affect San Diego county/Chula Vista or the TJ/SD border region, and that are related to you and your life pursuits in some way. Think of hobbies you already partake in, your college major, your job, your experiences, etc, to come up with an issue and/or solution. You may rely on things previously discussed in class, but you’re not required to.

No infographics, graphs or other visual support will be included.

For full credit:

• the paper should answer the prompt fully;
• be (at minimum) 6-7 full pages of a successful combination of description, explanation, and analysis that clearly and thoughtfully follow a main idea or argument;
• this argument should be carefully supported with well-integrated quotes and paraphrases based on credible and reliable research;
• and conform to MLA formatting conventions
• Including a Works Cited page
• as well as have minimal grammatical/mechanical errors.

Preparing students to participate in the global community where collaboration and respect for the diverse contributions of others is a key role for educators. Having the ability to effectively understand, communicate, and interact with others allows students to be successful in both the classroom and in their future workplace.

By the end of the week, submit a topic proposal for your Negotiation Analysis Paper. The proposal (one page) should describe the focus of the paper and your method. The negotiation can be one in which you were a participant or one in which you have been an active observer. Some examples of applicable negotiations are

• a workplace negotiation, such as a complex contract, new position, or new salary (preferred);
• a complex business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition;
• a complex real estate purchase;
• a union-management contract (including professional sports leagues);
• a neighborhood group negotiating zoning concerns with a city government;
• a negotiation between divorcing spouses who have complex settlement issues; and
• a negotiation between a vendor and business over products and services.

The above are representative examples of possible topics. The important thing to keep in mind in your topic selection is that the negotiation should be complex enough that you can preform a thoughtful and critical analysis in your paper using concepts learned in this course.

Remember to submit your assignment for grading when finished.

I’m working on a film question and need a sample draft to help me study.

This paper is to be written about the Joker in the Dark Knight film. Closely analyze the role of the villain. Questions to consider: What is the relationship between a villain and their respective hero? Are the qualities of heroism and villainy completely oppositional? How does the movie’s intended goal/message/perspective for the audience affect the portrayal of the villain?

This assessment method is designed to help you see how logic is used (or misused) in everyday life, and thereby appreciate the importance of good reasoning. You are asked to do some fieldwork related to logic. In particular, you are asked to document an argument “in the wild,” that is, an argument someone makes during a debate, a dispute, or a disagreement as you witness it in everyday life. The argument cannot be taken from a book or an article. You may use various mediums to document this “argument in the wild,” such as text, image, audio, or video. Then you should analyze the argument using the logical tools we learn throughout this course. For the second Argument in the Wild, you should write the argument in canonical form and then evaluate it, that is, determine whether the argument is valid or invalid, using a Venn diagram. If the argument is valid, determine whether it is sound or unsound.

Here is an example of what an “Arguments in the Wild 2” submission should look like:

In this video, Trevor Noah discusses the following argument, which is made by the CEO of CBS, Les Moonves: “The money’s rolling in… This is going to be a very good year for us. Sorry, it’s a terrible thing to say, but, bring it on, Donald.”

Moonves’ argument in this video can be reconstructed in canonical form as follows:

P1: Anything that brings in money is good for CBS.

P2: Trump’s presidential bid brings in money.

Therefore,

C: Trump’s presidential bid is good for CBS.

Reconstructed in this way, Moonves’ argument is valid; that is, if P1 and P2 are true, then C would have to be true as well. Indeed, the argument is an AAA-1 categorical syllogism.

S: Things identical with Trump’s presidential bid

P: Things that are good for CBS

M: Things that bring in money

All M are P.

All S are M.

All S are P.

Since the argument is valid, the question is whether the premises are in fact true. Is the argument sound? If the only thing that CBS cares about is the bottom line, then it would follow that Trump’s presidential bid is good for CBS, given that it is good for CBS’s bottom line. However, it might be argued that CBS, as a major source of news, has a journalistic responsibility to the American public. If the American public loses trust in CBS, upon finding out that CBS reports only the news that bring in money, then that could also hurt CBS’s bottom line.

Since there are doubts about whether the premises are true, although Moonves’ argument can be reconstructed as a valid categorical syllogism, it cannot be said to be sound.

This, then, is how your second “Arguments in the Wild” assignment should look like. That is, you should use the tools of Categorical Logic (in particular, Venn diagrams) to analyze one argument in the wild. You should determine whether the argument is valid or invalid by means of a Venn diagram. If valid, you should determine whether the argument is sound or unsound.
