What are the causes and consequences of this issue? 

Research Paper: Proposal

 

AUDIENCE: legislators, activists, advocates

 

Select and investigate an issue exemplified through a current event of your choice within the state of New Jersey.  Using this current event as an illustration of a larger problem, you will propose a solution to the issue.  

 

Your solution will function as your argument or rhetorical situation – it is the reason you are writing, so be persuasive at all times.

 

DEFINE: In this paper, you should briefly outline your problem and the significance it has in contemporary society.  Regardless of what obvious value you personally think this issue has, you must explicitly state the issue and establish the need for a solution. What groups of people are affected by this issue, and in what ways?  What are the causes and consequences of this issue?  Why is this problem particularly relevant now?  What should your audience know about this topic?  How might you define this problem as one that can have a solution (as opposed to a problem that can go away by itself or a problem that will never be solved)?

 

PROPOSE: Even though this is considered your “research paper” for the semester, you should see it as a persuasive paper (with research): you are to ARGUE for a specific solution and CONVINCE your audience that it is the most reasonable response to pursue.  In order to formulate a strong response, you must first research what measures already exist.  Why have other solutions failed, and what will your solution do differently?  What details can you provide to enact your solution?  An argument involves an angle; a research paper is not a book report.  You must engage with sources that agree and disagree with you, not just sources that report on statistical information.  How might you expect opponents to respond to your solution?  What evidence can you offer to show that your solution will address the problem?  What are the intended results of your solution?  Use details to manifest your solution and make it real.  In order to promote your idea, it should be thorough and ready to be put into action.

 

Remember, a TOPIC is not a THESIS, so you will have to consider a problem within this topic and find a solution to it.  Furthermore, the research and the data must establish a problem while at the same time using the research and the data to support the counter measures and the paradigms.

reat post and discussion. I like how you address that this is a multilevel approach like we discussed the first week.  I like how you mention variables like hormones and releasing hormones, that can be a trigger for aggression.  That makes me consider stress.

Investigate professional journals and locate two articles relevant to issues in the United States and that pertain to organizational behavior topics from this course that interest you. You are to critique each article according to the instructions below. The articles should be less than three-years-old. You are to use the ProQuest Central database found in the University of Arizona Global Campus Library.

Each three-page critique (a total of six pages for both critiques) must include the following three parts. Include both article reviews into one document for submission to Waypoint (do not submit two documents).

Complete the following three parts:

  • Identify the articles
    • Provide the reader with enough information about your articles so they will be able to locate the article. Describe your search process.
  • Summarize the articles
    • Identify the main points that the authors have tried to establish (i.e., 1, 2, 3, or first, second, third). There normally will be three to five main points per article. If you are summarizing a court case, you should discuss the following:
      • What provision of the law was at issue? Briefly state the facts of the case.
      • What legal tests were applied?
      • Were there any unusual elements in the case?
    • Provide sufficient information to demonstrate you understand the content of the article.
  • Critique the article
    • Provide your reaction (insightful, critical, and logical) to the points that the authors tried to make or an overall critique of the entire articles. A simple statement of agreement or disagreement is not sufficient. While you may make such a statement by way of introduction to your reaction, you must clearly and logically state the reasons for your position.

Given what has happened with Roe in June of 2022, can you see Constitutional protection of same-sex marriage being removed by the Supreme Court? Why or why not?

In 2015, in a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution’s Fourteenth
Amendment establishes a constitutional right to marriage for gay Americans. The ruling
reflected a remarkably rapid shift in public opinion regarding gay marriage in the
previous few years. Writing by Justice Anthony Kennedy, the majority opinion included a
powerful exposition on the meaning of freedom in the early twenty-first century
Text of the Fourteenth Amendment excerpt Section 1,
1789, rev. 1992
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State
shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of
citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the
equal protection of the laws. Watch this video to do it:

Questions:
1. Given your understanding of the Fourteenth Amendment from the beginning
of our class (equal protection under the law), Justice Kennedy argued that
this was in fact covered after years of conflict over this issue. Given what has
happened with Roe in June of 2022, can you see Constitutional protection of
same-sex marriage being removed by the Supreme Court? Why or why not?
2. What do you think are some of the essential rights that same-sex couples did
not have access to prior to this Supreme Court decision? What are some that
you have seen in the original conflict with Obergefell in the video?
3. Given the text of the due process clause in Section 1, is there a way this
could be interpreted to be a state by state case (meaning up to the states to
individually decide)? How did they argue this was a nation wide interpretation
of this ruling?
