INstructions: For your capstone essay, you will write a film analysis that emphasizes the Religious Studies theory that we focused on in class. You will choose your own film with religious content, and then analyze it using the theories and ideas covered in class and present it in a traditional film review. You may also add additional methods of film criticism if you desire. Before writing, you should familiarize yourself with the suggested resources on how to write a film review, but remember our analysis will emphasize the seven dimensions of religion. Part 1 will cover the basic background and information about the film, and should be at least 750 words.The final draft will include part 1, as well as the analysis of the seven dimensions as it relates to your chosen film. The final paper should be between 1500 to 2000 words.

**This is only part 1. This does not include the analysis of the seven dimensions as it relates to your chosen film. Part 1 will be 750 words or more and include the basic background and information about the film, it may, however, introduce the theory(s) that you are going to talk about in part 2 later in the essay.
***The choosen film is 2016 Martin Scrocesse’s ”Silence”.

Final Research Essay:
The final essay consists of a (Part I) 1-2 page critique and (Part II) a 4-5 page persuasive analysis essay of an issue drawn from a textbook source and argued through research. Both parts of the essay require a Works Cited list and correct documentation of sources throughout the essay.

*Part I – 1 – 2 pgs: Write a Critique:
Choose an essay, story, or poem from our textbook Patterns. The story I chose is called “What Price Football?” by Don Banks and is posted below. You may use a poem or short story or any essay that has a controversy discussed or implied in the work. A controversy has at least two clear sides which you must be able to distinctly define. For example, in the poem “Sadie and Maude” (p. 428 Patterns) references education. From this poem you might identify a controversy about women’s in predominately male fields of science and technology.

**For Part I, write a one paragraph summary of the work from the textbook followed by a structured critique of the work based on the instructional steps in the handout, “Writing a Critique.” After the summary, the critique will analyze how the issue is presented and evaluate how convincing the author’s position. Part I, the critique, should be in correct MLA style, 1-2 pages double-spaced with in-text citations from the work in the textbook to support your claims. Include full-text proper citation of the work.

For the Proposal – a short paragraph:

• Following the instructions on the Final Project assignment, identify the work and author
from the textbook, Patterns, from which you will draw your controversial issue.

• Then, identify the controversy, both pro and con, that you will research and on which you will take a position. For me to accept your controversy, you will need to write the controversy in terms of a debate. Your view may be a combination of the sides of the debate, but it needs to be clearly identified as a position. In addition, say which specific areas of the controversy you will research. You may not have established your position yet, but the controversy has to be made clear.

Annotated Bibliography – include 3 of the required 5 sources:

• An annotated bibliography is a list of sources you will use in your essay with a brief summary for each source (the annotation).

• The sources must be correctly formatted and alphabetized. The summary of about 7-10 sentences should follow each citation. Only 3 of the required 5 sources need be included in this list.

As a reminder, most of your sources should be database sources, hard copy print, or a source that has been previously in print, like a NY Times story. Only ONE good Web site source is permitted. All sources for the proposal must be correctly formatted and summarized.

Use formatting for your citations that is appropriate to your subject – either MLA or APA. The format style you choose needs to be consistent throughout your essay, both in-text and on the Works Cited page.

The Systems Development Project is focused on the process for determining the feasibility, planning, determining the requirements, determining the design, executing the development and implementation, and the means of maintenance for a family budgeting and financial application for a desktop, laptop, notebook, tablet, or smartphone device. This project is intended to demonstrate your knowledge about the systems development life cycle, its phases, its processes, and its application to a setting that is relevant to you. For the purpose of this assignment, it is assumed that you have been hired by a company to help them select and implement a financial application that will support their small business. If it helps you write this paper, you can create a fictitious name for the company that has hired you. You should assume the company is slightly profitable and has no more than 20 employees. They are looking for an application that will support their business requirements but have minimal impact on their profit. Each unit’s assignment is submitted in narrative form with a minimum of 750 words in total, excluding any references. The objectives for each unit’s assignments are exercises that should flow together to create an APA formatted paper. APA formatted references, references page, and in-text citations are required. Course materials and other expert sources should be used as references, all with in-text citations to support the application of the systems development concepts applied to each assignment. Please note the minimum word count and minimum paragraph per exercise are simply benchmarks. More than likely, your submission will be greater than the minimums in order to adequately address and substantiate the content.

Unit 1 Systems Development Assignment
The objectives for this assignment are as follows:

1. What are the major functions that the desired small business budgeting and financial application should support (e.g. budgeting, online banking, account management, security, payroll, and tax software integration as just some potential functions)? These will serve as the ‘business requirements’ that will need to be supported by a budgeting and financial application. A minimum of 15 to 20 requirements should be identified. The requirements should be functional requirements only. Security will be identified in a later unit.
2. Explain, in detail, the requirements for each of the functions identified. You are encouraged to provide enough detail that will allow you to describe how the function actually works in Unit 4.
3. Develop a table that will serve as a checklist for evaluation of each of the selected applications identified in Unit 2. Your table should have four columns. The first column represents the function; the next three columns will represent selected applications.
4. Prepare a preliminary detailed plan regarding how you will carry out each of the systems development phases for this project. Note that selection of the application will not occur until the design phase and development will focus on the setup of the application. Your textbook provides an example project plan. You are only required to identify the steps

Please use Evaluating the Arguments in “Here’s How Every Argument Against a Minimum Wage Hike is Bulls**t” by C.A. Pinkham as the title.
Please contain the following three sections as they are equally weighted.
Outline the argument: indicate the conclusion, premises and any implicit premises. Explain whether the premises are dependent (on each other) or independent.
Evaluate the argument: indicate whether the premises are true or false (or if they require further support).
Strengthen the argument: Either come up with additional support that could be used for one of the questionable premises or come up with another independent line of argument in support of the conclusion.

Notes on writing the essay:

Don’t
Don’t Write an opinion paper — the purpose of this assignment is to outline the author’s argument not to provide your own argument
Start with unnecessary information – “since the beginning of time,” dictionary definitions etc.
Don’t Use rhetorical questions
Don’t Rely too much on confusing third-person language ‘one could say that . . .”
Don’t Use the thesaurus

Do
Keep your prose simple
Plan out your paper before writing
Use the spelling and grammar check on your computer
Stay on topic – biographical information about the author, historical development of a topic etc. isn’t needed

You only need to reference one article. Here’s How Every Argument Against a Minimum Wage Hike is Bulls**t” by C.A. Pinkham
Please don’t use too many quotes. Two or three should be the maximum.
Please include all the arguments C.A. made, all the premises and implicit premises.
Implicit premise means assumed premise. It means a premise that the author expects everyone to know without having to mention it. For example, if I say, shooting someone with a gun is bad because the person you shoot could get hurt. One implicit premise would be hurting people is bad.

I will attach a draft that I did for this essay. Don’t use too many of it tho please. It’s really bad. But keep in mind that my professor has seen and marked the draft. So, please make the essay not completely different from the draft. Don’t over-stress about it tho, if you think completely different is better, that’s still perfect.

Please get it done within 18 hours. If you can do it faster, it would be much appreciated.
