For this project, you will focus primarily on one or two of the works we have already studied together in class this term. In order to write this paper, you should choose the work or works that have interested you most—a piece of visual art or text that we examined in seminar and that excited you, or a pairing that reveals new and exciting cross-currents between works. Whatever you choose, you should write about work(s) that you feel deserves more attention, or that can be explored farther and in new directions. Once you have selected your primary object(s), prepare to write by thinking about the formal properties of the work (or works) that elicit feelings of excitement in the reader or beholder. How do these properties work? Then, begin the brainstorming or pre-writing process by asking: Beyond what we discussed in class, what questions does this object raise that remain unanswered for me? These questions should open-ended—allowing you to draw meaningful connections with other topics we have covered in class—but also specific, so they remain manageable within the frame of a short paper. Then, begin to write about your work or works. – For this paper, you do not need to formulate your reflections into an argument with a thesis. – Even without a thesis, your paper will still need a cohesive structure. (It should not be free-form reactions.) – Since we have encountered these works together, there is no need to summarize them for you reader. – You will need to quote from the readings, and use appropriate citation methods. – You will also need to format your work according to the formatting guidelines in our Syllabus Policy Sheet. – For this paper, it is not necessary to incorporate outside source materials. – Your writing should work analytically, that is, by examining specific and important details in depth. – Your writing should also work synthetically, by drawing connections between unlike materials. To this end, while your paper will be predominantly about one or two objects, you should find ways to relate the questions raised by your primary material to ideas that appear in other works from our syllabus. If you are writing your paper mainly on The Masque of Queens, how do ideas raised by Wölfflin, Leibniz, or Bernini (or any of the other figures we’ve examined) help to shed light for you on this text? Or if you are comparing Bronzino and Velazquez’s portraits, how might ideas from Nietzsche, Descartes, or Donne help? How can these readings and artworks respond to, critique, supplement each other?

Community policing is the collaboration between the community and the police. Information regarding their policies and procedures can be retrieved from your local town, county, state, or even a federal law enforcement agency. Utilizing these agencies, research your current community policing policies and procedures. Where possible, obtain a copy of the community policing policies and attach them as an appendix to your 11 page paper (exclusive of the APA title and reference pages) utilizing at least 5, scholarly outside sources. At a minimum, your paper will discuss: – The goals of the community policing plan – The methods of implementation – Job descriptions for law enforcement engaged in community policing – Efficacy studies (where available) – Technological aspects of the program – Diversity considerations – Community outreach plans and goals Present a value-judgment analysis of whether or not the community policing plan is effectively meeting its goals. Present improvements to the plan and provide analyses which point out the best practices approaches found in the plan. Provide forward looking strategies in both the areas of practical application of policies and future careers which will enhance the plan you have chosen over the next two decades. You can supplement your findings and your presentation by interviewing law enforcement personnel involved with the plan.

It is a midterm paper for a film as a cross culture class. I chose the film American history x and I am supposed to talk about how the film touches on issues going on in society today and at the tie the movie was made. I was told to look into the many layers of the film, and dig into all the subtext as well. I attached a word document of what I started to type up but I got stuck.

Racism is a touchy subject. When racism is brought up in a conversation it ignites heavy opinions. We are all racist against some nationality at some point in our life. We would be lying to ourselves if we said that we never had racist thoughts against certain race groups. Some are passionate about their dislike towards certain races and some are not. As life moves along we go through certain experiences that may change our opinions on racism. Interaction with different races changes your opinions towards them. Where does this racism originate from? It can vary from how we were raised, where we are from, or from what we go through in life. In the 1998 film American History X we take a look into the life of a Neo Nazi racist who has no shame in expressing his hate against minorities, as the film moves a long that slowly but surely changes.

When watching American History X the main question that goes through my mind is where does all this hate towards minorities come from? The main character Derek Vinyard played by Edward Norton has so much hate within him that comes off as an obsession. This obsession has to have been ignited by something. The whole film you are led to believe that Derek hates blacks because his father was murdered by them. He has strong political opinions that he states that proves Derek is not just ignorantly obsessed with be racist. He states in many scenes that minorities should not have any more opportunities. He basically believes they have wasted their chances, and that the United States should not give them any sympathy. In the end of the film there is a flashback scene that in my opinion is somewhat a twist. The scene reveals that dereks father was somewhat of a racist towards blacks. This scene is crucial to the film because it finally reveals where Dereks hate towards blacks comes from. He was raised into racism. The way you are raised has a lot to do with how you view the world and who you trust and don’t trust. Whoever raises you teaches you right from wrong first hand. Schooling also lays a foundation of right and wrong, but your parents or whatever guardian you have in your life are the ones who lead the way for you. In this case Derek looked up to his father so this explains why he became so obsessed and angry after his father was murdered.

Derek losing his father left him with no father figure in his life.

Today Bachelor Degrees are a minimum, like high school diplomas were 30 years ago. The reason I selected this topic is because it is something I relate to & can see proof at my job. I work for a private company, that has recently moved manufacturing overseas, eliminating hundreds of local jobs in our town. However, as a severance, employees were able to go to school for training in a field of their choice. Many people took this opportunity, even though they were older. Today a bachelor’s just gets you in the door, many businesses want graduate degrees for senior positions. No longer does experience alone matter. This is a major change in our society, and it shows an evolution of the business world. 30 years ago upper management could be anyone with management skills and experience, now you can’t find the opportunity to establish experience without a degree. Assignment 2: Critical Thinking Paper Due Week 10 and worth 200 points Your paper should present a reasoned, convincing argument for a position on a selected topic.

Include at least four (4) references (sources). At least one (1) of your sources must be obtained from the collection of databases accessible from the Learning Resources Center Web page. The paper should follow guidelines for clear and effectively organized writing: • The paper is well-organized, and every explanation is both complete and easy to understand. • Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph for the paper. • Main ideas should be addressed in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences. • Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. • The paper should be checked for spelling and grammatical errors.
