Choose an issue or topic that is currently being publicly discussed and find three sources on it from newspapers, magazines, academic journals, or speeches that disagree with each other. Demonstrate your understanding of rhetorical situations and their constituents, rhetorical reading strategies, and rhetorical writing strategies by writing an analysis that does not simply summarize the sources, but explains and argues why and how the construction is different and, therefore, lends to them not being able to agree. In most instances, each rhetor has a different audience, but because of that fact, how are the texts constructed differently? What are the constraint differences? What “roles” do the authors play? How do the different audiences apply constraints to the authors?

Remember that this is not a position paper. It is not your job here to decide who is “right” and who is “wrong” but rather to rhetorically analyze the sources and write about the differences. You’ll need to actively read and analyze the sources to learn as much as possible and understand each individual rhetorical situation. This includes information about the authors and their audiences. Then, when you write the essay, you’ll be pulling pertinent information from your analyses to support your argument as to why the sources are constructed differently. For all of your observations and claims about a text you should have supporting evidence from the text itself.

What to do:

Look for your sources in editorials, articles, or from commentary writers. Make sure that these sources have gone through some kind of editorial process before being published. This means that someone posting their opinions on a blog or discussion board is not an appropriate source.
Consider choosing sources from various media (print, digital, etc)
Pick the most relevant reasons why the constructions are different and describe those in your analysis (this becomes your thesis).
Some points to consider:

Even “facts” are rhetorically constituted and often open to interpretation.
Remember that each writer both joins and plays a role in constructing the rhetorical situation for their individual text.
Resist binary thinking, the idea that there are only two sides to every issue. This is not a pro/con paper.
Be sure to note the effect of any constraints on a given text—either assets or liabilities.
Use the analytical terms from class and the readings to analyze the sources. The content of the articles we’ve read should guide your analysis. Be sure to cite them when you use their ideas.
Find texts that are trying to persuade the audience in some way. While all texts can be rhetorically analyzed, it is easier to do when you can tell that the author has a purpose for his or her writing.
Things not to do:

Do not argue your own opinion on the issue. Regardless of how you feel about the issue, it should never be directly stated. Instead, it’s your job to persuasively answer a question about who is saying what, and why are they saying it?
Do not simply summarize the texts or what others have said about the texts.
Do not simply summarize everything you found out about the texts and their rhetorical situations in your analyses. Pick and choose the elements that contribute to your position.
Do not assume that the text is simply objective, liberal, or conservative, etc. If you are going to make such observations and claims about a text, then back them up with examples and evidence from the text itself.
You will be responsible for submitting possible sources for class discussion. You must have approval from me for your sources before you begin drafting your paper.

What is the issue/problem you want to explore?
1) It could be a specific, personal problem such as bullying, anxiety, procrastination, disability, etc. What have I done and what could I do to deal with this problem?
2) It could be a specific issue/problem in a job or profession that you would like to enter. Here are some examples of what you could explore.
a. Perhaps you are interested in nursing and in some way have experience with this profession. The nursing profession has issues with turnover, reduction of infections, bullying, etc. Suppose you want to research reduction of infections; you must have a specific, personal illustration upon which to base the essay; for instance, have you been a patient in the hospital and experienced an infection? If so, you could write about the problem you encountered and discuss what the nurses did and could have done to prevent it.
b. Perhaps you want to be a missionary and have been on a mission’s trip. You could explore an issue you encountered and explore options.
c. Perhaps you have been in a youth group and want to be a youth pastor. You might explore what can be done to reach youth and to help youth grow in their relationship with the Lord.
3) It could be about a specific, personal question concerning your religion; for instance, how do I respond to homosexuals in school or in the workplace? Why do young people leave the church, and what can be done about it?

Your academic essay should explore a topic of interest to you and connect it in some way with the concepts in this course. You should cite 1 article that you have already read in addition to another 5 articles that you find on your own. Your academic essay will have at least 8 citations from a total of 6 different sources.

Audience, purpose: Audiences: 1) If you choose a specific personal problem, your audience will be peers who have experienced that specific issue/problem. Your purpose is to provide insight in how to deal with the problem. 2) If you choose a particular profession, your audience will be peers in the profession you want to join (the kind of job you are pursuing). Your purpose will be to help others in this profession to improve their understanding of your chosen topic. Professionals in your field will not have read the articles you have read, so your insights on your chosen topic, insights gained in part from your knowledge of the concepts in this course, will be a new “take” on the topic. In other words, you will contribute something new to conversations on your topic. 3) If you choose a question about religion/practice, your peers will be others who are also grappling with the concept. Your purpose is to provide insight or understanding.

Specific requirements: 8-9 pages, double spaced, MLA formatted essay. You must use at least 8 quotes properly cited from at least 6 different sources. ALL citations must be introduced or integrated into your own text.

You are an intern working with a state crime scene investigation team that has statewide jurisdiction and gets called in by county and municipal authorities for crime scene analysis and laboratory support. A number of larger cities in the state have their own crime scene units. Because crime scene investigators (CSIs) get called into court to testify as expert witnesses, your unit has a lot of opportunities to testify in court. The state you live and work in has assumed the Federal Rules of Evidence Rule 702 as their own for expert witness testimony. They also have the Frye Standard (something that is common in many states). You will be presenting a paper to the State Division of the International Association for Identification Conference in the Capital next week. You will be presenting a paper on the topic of the admissibility of expert witness testimony in court.

There are a number of evidence-related resources that are not found in academic journals that may be utilized as references in this assignment. It is critical that when you make a statement of fact in your presentation that you cite the reference you obtained the information from in the text of the paper and that the reference is included in your reference page. Your paper must be submitted in the APA, 6th edition format. No abstract is required because this is a short position paper, but a title page, reference page, and appropriate running header with page numbers are all necessary.

Address the following in 4–6 pages:

What is the definition of an expert witness? Explain in your own words.
Who can be an expert witness? Explain.
What restrictions are placed on expert witnesses?
How are lay witnesses and expert witnesses different? Explain in detail.
Explain the Daubert Rule in contrast to the Frye Standard, and disclose which one of the two would allow for the identification of more expert witnesses if they were used exclusively.

Professionalism in health care

The other two articles for this week, Health care providers and professionalism and Medical professionalism: Can it, should it survive? aren’t recent (one was 2005, the other 2000). How does the content or questions from these articles still apply today?
The authors of both articles also discuss how outside influences (societal and monetary/power) are in conflict with the ethics of care. Inouye (2005) asks, “How do we transform the present culture of health care filled with monetary and power struggles to one of compassion and which provide quality of care?” (p. 11). How do YOU answer that question? (Be specific and go deep!)
Include examples from/references to your assigned readings.
