submit a research paper (double-spaced) based on the question proposed in their proposal:Islam And Human Rights

Topic:

Islam And Human Rights

Description

Students are required to submit a research paper (double-spaced) based on the question proposed in their proposal. The paper can focus on human right practices or violation in Muslim majority countries, or human right violation and practices relating to Muslim diasporas in non-Muslim majority nations. The final paper requires the student to present a sound argument and demonstrate comprehension of the theoretical perspectives and concepts presented during the course. The details of the project will be addressed during class. For each paper, you are required to cite 10 peer-reviewed journal articles from the last 10 years.

After reading (or watching) Fences, and then researching scholars’ analyses of the play, your job is to write a short paper in which you quote, summarize, and paraphrase two different scholarly critiques of the play. 

Assignment 1: Comparative Research Paper over Fences (100 pts – due Thursday)

After reading (or watching) Fences, and then researching scholars’ analyses of the play, your job is to write a short paper in which you quote, summarize, and paraphrase two different scholarly critiques of the play. Use the articles that you summarized in last week’s Annotated Bibliography. Here are some tips to help with the paper:

• What kind of paper NOT to write: I am not asking for a paper that summarizes the play. Instead, the purpose of this assignment is to steep you in the literary analyses of this play written by two scholars who do this for a living. The assignment leads you to read two professional interpretations of Wilson’s classic drama. Your thesis is to be an assertion about these two literary analyses, not about the play itself.
• What you should write: Write a comparison or contrast paper in which you describe how the two scholarly critiques you have found on Fences share (or don’t share) similar points of view on the drama.
• Length of paper: The paper should run no less than two-and-a-half pages in length.
• Title:

To help you organize your essay, here is a model compare/contrast thesis statement and model outline that you can use to help:

While authors [name of author #1] and [name of author #2] hold a similar view about Fences in terms of [similarity], they differ in their views about [difference #1] and [difference #2].

These similarities and differences will be their views or interpretations of theme, characterization, symbolism, or some other literary element. You will organize the essay around this thesis statement:

1. Introduction paragraph
2. Speak broadly about the theme of Fences (properly citing sources)
3. Offer the reader a brief summary of Fences, making sure to include the works cited entry for Wilson from our textbook.
4. Introduce the two literary critiques and authors you will be comparing/contrasting by giving their names, article titles (in quotation marks), and a brief summary of their articles. They each should have a separate sentence.
5. End with the thesis statement: While authors [name of author #1] and [name of author #2] hold a similar view about Fences in terms of [similarity], they differ in their views about [difference #1] and [difference #2].
6. First, authors [author name #1] and [author name #2] hold a similar view about Fences in terms of [similarity].
7. Details/example from author #1 article including 1 properly introduced/set up quoted (with intext citation).
8. Details/example from author #2 article including 1 properly introduced/set up quoted (with intext citation).
9. Interpretation and explanation about how these two examples are similar.

III. Next, authors [author name #1] and [author name #2] differ in their view about [difference #1].

1. Details/example from author #1 article including 1 properly introduced/set up quoted (with intext citation).
2. Details/example from author #2 article including 1 properly introduced/set up quoted (with intext citation).
3. Interpretation and explanation about how these two examples are different.
4. Lastly, authors [author name #1] and [author name #2] differ in their view about [difference #2].
5. Details/example from author #1 article including 1 properly introduced/set up quoted (with intext citation).
6. Details/example from author #2 article including 1 properly introduced/set up quoted (with intext citation).
7. Interpretation and explanation about how these two examples are different.
8. Conclusion (do not include any new source quotes)
9. Recap the thesis statement in different words.
10. Recap the main points or examples of similarity and difference from the body paragraphs.
11. Offer the reader a reflection about how understanding these similarities and differences of opinion about Fences help the reader to see this literary work in a different light or a broader perspective.

As mentioned above, be sure to include a works cited page which includes the proper MLA 8^th/9th edition works cited entry for your two literary critiques from Academic Search Complete as well as the entry for the Wilson play in our textbook (use the discussion board model, but italicize the play title rather than placing it in quotation marks). This means a total of three sources. These should be listed in alphabetical order (according to the first part of the entry – the author’s last name), and they should have a hanging indent according to MLA conventions.

Provide a 1 page writing on elements of Democracy defined by the acronym DERL (Democracy, Equality, Rule of Law, Liberty) and how they relate to the film: Why We Fight by Eugene Jarecki.

Description

1 page writing on elements of Democracy defined by the acronym DERL (Democracy, Equality, Rule of Law, Liberty) and how they relate to the film: Why We Fight by Eugene Jarecki. In order to accurately understand the message of the documentary and provide meaningful analysis, you need to view the film. Speak about the missile with the name on it. And how the American people were lied to about Vietnam and the Iraq War as it was shown that Saddam Hussein was not actively bankrolling the September 11th attacks nor were the suspects in the attacks related to Saddam and his Regime. Discuss dates of events, people mentioned in the documentary, and make references (quotes) directly from the dialogue of the documentary film. This paper is not a review of the content of the documentary, you MUST form your own opinions. It is an essay with an intro, single body paragraph, and conclusion taking up one full page of writing. DO NOT REFERENCE ANY outside sources as this is all to be completed from material sourced in the documentary and already known information

dictate how a group of post-apocalyptic survivors will endure after a global cataclysmic event, with respect to common and expected social and environmental problems.

Topic:

In this essay, students will apply their knowledge of theory associated with culture and cultural groups and (hypothetically) apply it to a group in such a way that is plausible, and likely to help the group succeed in collective-action and socio-cultural problems. The details for the question are below

Description In this essay, students will apply their knowledge of theory associated with culture and cultural groups and (hypothetically) apply it to a group in such a way that is plausible, and likely to help the group succeed in collective-action and socio-cultural problems. The student must assume the position of a ‘consultant’ who has been hired by a movie director / novelist to help make their movie more authentic and scientifically accurate. Students must draw on their understanding of culture and psychology to propose a range of strategies to ensure that a hypothetical social group can survive and thrive over multigenerational time. There are three movies/topics the student may choose from. • You are responsible for dictating how a group of post-apocalyptic survivors will endure after a global cataclysmic event, with respect to common and expected social and environmental problems. The task is to help describe a likely and reasonable set of psychological solutions to common problems that would be encountered by a group of people in this setting. In each case, the following conditions are present: • The group is between 1000 – 1500 people strong, and includes families and people from multiple generations. • This group cannot communicate with any outgroups. • This group is diverse, and includes people from different faiths, ethnicities, nationalities. You may assume that they all share a common language. • Natural resources are unreliable or seasonal. The group must anticipate periods of both abundance and scarcity. • The group must survive for at least 200 years, and as such, it can be expected that those who are present after 200 years will have had no direct contact with those who first arrived. That is, social learning is important, as will be social structures associated with families. • The group must be prepared for new individuals arriving who wish to enter into the group. They may also have to be prepared for individuals in the group defecting and leaving the group. The student must address several key factors: • How the group will bond and subsequently form and maintain a shared social identity. • How the group will address issues of cooperation, defection, norms, and/or morality. • How formal or informal institutions within the group will facilitate social learning and transmission of important information with minimal loss or error. • How family units are structured, and a justification for this decision • What the social hierarchy will look like. • How the group will integrate new members (if at all). This essay will contain creative elements, but all decisions must be based on, and defended with, peerreviewed literature drawn from the course and further afield. Students are strongly advised to draw on real world examples in order to illustrate and inform the reader.

In one paragraph, state the correlation and identify the primary independent variables.

Purpose Statement

In one paragraph, state the correlation and identify the primary independent variables.  State the correlation as in the following:

“The dependent variable _______ is determined by independent variables ________, _________, ________, and ________.”

Identify and defend the “primary” independent variable, or the variable believed to have the strongest impact on the dependent variable:

“The most important independent variable in this relationship is ________ because _________.”

Definition of Variables

For each variable, write a single definition paragraph talking about the variable. Paragraphs should be in this order: dependent variable, primary independent variable, and at least two more independent variables.  In addition to defining the independent variables, defend why each determines the dependent variable.

For the primary independent variable, at least two research sources that discuss the variable also must be cited.  These sources need not be technical documents but should contain evidence to justify the relationship between the primary independent variable and the dependent variable.  List these sources in the Reference Page, as needed.  Note: Citations from encyclopedias, Wikipedia, blogs, abstracts, or non-governmental websites are not acceptable research sources in this assignment.

Data Description

For each of the variables, at least 30 observations of cross-sectional data must be obtained.  Thus, for the final research paper, a data matrix that is at least 30 rows by numbers of variables must be presented.  This is the case for your mandated dataset, just be sure and acknowledge this in your paper.

Reference Page

The final page of the proposal should be a Reference Page listing at least ten research sources, forming the basis to conduct citing as appropriate.  Also, be sure and include sources for any table of data.

Data Analysis

Describe your approach to analyzing the data and refer to the guidance provided for the final paper in Unit 8.  This section will likely be the most under-developed at this point, but you should have a general idea as to how you intend to analyze your data and arrive at information that can be used in your conclusion and final recommendations.
