Marijuana (Historical Analysis)
$15.00This essay is a historical/casual analysis of Marijuana through the years since 1937. The main objective is to just talk about what happened in a certain year from 1937 to 2014. There is a timeline that I will provide which shows the different law changes or other political changes of Marijuana. BUT, each paragraph will be talking about a certain decade. For example, if something happened in 1937 and 1939 then that paragraph will be focusing on the 1930’s. The paragraphs will be in chronological order. Some of the years haven’t been looked up yet, so you will have to look it up.

Book Analysis: The New Jim Crow
$39.00All the critical research reviews essays for this course must develop and contain the following four main elements below:
1. What is the book’s topic? Who is the author? What is his background?
Do not merely state the book’s topic and author. You must define the topic in some depth and explain the academic background of the author. Is the author an expert on the book’s subject? How do you know? What makes the author an expert on the subject? Do you detect any biases in the author? Do these biases help or undermine the validity of the author’s arguments anywhere in the book? You must justify any assertions or claims that you make in developing your responses to these questions.
a) What is the author’s point of view? What is your sense of the author’s point of view and why?
(Often the introduction reveals clues on a author’s point of view. So read the introduction of each book thoroughly)
2. a) What is the author’s major hypothesis? Look up in a good dictionary what hypothesis means. You must underline what you assert to be the book’s hypothesis in your essay.
b) What kinds of evidence does the author use to support the hypothesis? There is a range of evidence in the development of any book. Authors use facts, figures, statistics, historical events, other research studies, etc. It is important to weigh and reflect on the evidence. Does this evidence help explain, support, clarify any assertions or claims that the author makes and why? Do not merely dismiss any evidence without justification and sound reasoning. Simply not liking a particular type of evidence does not make a book’s argument weak. You must demonstrate you have a stronger argument in support of your own judgments beyond mere opinion.
3) a) What are your objections/contrary views on any of the book’s principal arguments or propositions. Your objections should go beyond mere generalizations and must be supported with alternative evidence that you will analyze in your essay.
b) Are there other works by authors in the field? You must introduce and cite the works of four other authors (NOT WEBSITES) who have published (hardcopy publications) on the book’s subject. It is important that you justify your choice and use of these four authors. You must explain how and why their views and use of evidence are similar or different from those of the author of the book you are writing your review on.
c) As part of your development of element #3 in your essay, you must assess the evidence used in the book as well. You must explain if the evidence is convincing or adequate and if the sources used in the book are found to be acceptable by other experts.
d) Determine if any of the book’s information or conclusion conflict with any other books you have read on the subject. How do you think this conflict can be resolved?
e) If you determine there is no use of the traditional sense of evidence in a book, explain if texplain your reasons.4. You must end your critical research review with a persuasive conclusion that argues the book’s impact on you as a college scholar. You must state and explain your reasons for this impact. How has the book changed or influenced any ideas you had on the subject before you undertook this assignment. Explain your response with good reasons.
(Pointers # 2 and #3 are the “heart” of any critical research review essay. These areas must be well developed. Avoid the temptation to fill your essay with overwhelming biographical information on the author to the exclusion of the central arguments propositions underlying the author’s hypothesis and subject. You are reviewing the author’s work and the scholarship in his or her book, not his/her lifestyle. While pointer
#1 does require some information on the author’s biography and academic background, it is the subject of his/her book that is central to your essay! And the biographical details must be made relevant to the overall purpose your writing of this review. What good is the author’s love of golf relevant to his or her books on Jim Crow? (Avoid such temptation to fill your essay with details that are not helpful in our understanding of the serious issues of the Politics of Race in the African American Experience. So, be sure to dwell on a thoughtful engagement with substantive aspects of the author’s study/subject as you develop pointers #3 and #4) and his lack is in any way detrimental to the book’s hypothesis or not.13 pages

“The Black Death” Review
$10.00This paper is a book review of “The Black Death” (by Rosemary Horrox). All the sources and citation ONLY can use from this book and my textbook, which named “Western Civilizations” (by Joshua Cole and Carol Symes)
- Black Death – Critical Essay 2
The first wave of the Black Death swept Medieval Europe between 1348 and 1350 killing around 50% of the European population. [1] Medieval people, not knowing modern science, responded with fear, horror, and guilt to the loss and devastation that can be seen in their spiritual, physical and emotional reactions to the plague. For you paper, I would like you to examine how medieval people’s response to the plague reflected at least one aspect of their worldview. In your paper, you need to support your argument with specific examples from the Horrox book. These writings are all primary sources – the exact responses of the people who lived through this. You should refer to at least 5 different sources from this book in your discussion. Also, you need to define which aspect of Medieval world view you are discussing. For example, you might look at how the plague reflects their understanding of divine punishment, or how their study of the plague reflects the role of magic in the medieval world. To find these themes, you will need to consult Cole/Symes. (our textbook)

Constructing Identity: The Next Genderation (Writing Prompt)
$7.00Purpose: Unit 1 focuses on how constructions of identity are constantly appropriated by individuals and society. This Unit will give you practice in invention strategies such as prewriting and looping as well as generating a thesis.
Readings (MLA Style Citation):
Poisson, Jayme. “Parents Keep Child’s Gender Secret.” Emerging: Contemporary Readings
for Writers. 2nd ed. Ed. Barclay Barrios. Boston: Bedford/ St. Martin’s. 2013. 364-370. Print.
Pozner, Jennifer. “Ghetto Bitches, China Dolls, and Cha Cha Divas.” Emerging:
Contemporary Readings for Writers. 2nd ed. Ed. Barclay Barrios. Boston: Bedford/ St.
Martin’s. 2013. 396-407. Print.
Topic: In this unit, we have looked at readings that examine the way gender, sexuality, and ethnicity are constantly being judged and subjected to examination by social and cultural designations. In some cases, identities can be transmitted in the most primary of interactions between a parent and a child and in other cases in loco parentis by the imperatives of social, ethnic, and racial norms. However, the overarching question in this unit seems to be whether or not identity can truly be shaped by personal endeavors—in which individuals make free choices—from options that appear to be set up or scripted by society and culture. Although identity can be a highly complex concept, we must all decide how our identity should appear and be attended to.
Writing Task: Gather your notes, clusters, and any other invention strategies and respond to the following prompt:
Is identity constructed by individuals or by society? Or both?
Tips: Narrow your focus by writing about one aspect of identity: gender, sex, sexuality, and ethnicity. When taking “society” into consideration, please specify which institutions your argument focuses on, such as family, school, religion, military, government, and media. As you develop your introduction and thesis, avoid the usual binaries: advantages/disadvantages, pros/cons, and positives/negatives. You may certainly use these binaries as prewriting techniques to help you find a position for which you can argue. Reflect on everything we have read, discussed and written about for this unit. You may use the sequence of assignments (Journals, In-class Essay, Group Discussion Questions) to help you generate ideas and narrow your focus.
Directions: Develop a clear thesis for your essay that is supported by examples from both readings for this unit. Quote the readings appropriately to support your argument, not the author’s. While personal experience may help support your thesis, this essay should be guided by analysis rather than narrative or a summary of the readings. This essay must be 4-5 typed pages of 12-point Times New Roman font, be double-spaced, and have one-inch margins all around. Completion of all drafts is mandatory to complete this unit. Ten percent of your grade will be subtracted for each day this essay is late.

HOW TO BETTER PREVENT OFFSHORE OIL SPILL
$33.00The paper discusses the topic “HOW TO BETTER PREVENT OFFSHORE OIL SPILL”
Abstract
Sensitivity to oil pollution of the marine environment has increased, and oil spills are still perceived to be a very serious issue. In the past few years, oil spills have occurred, causing loss of human life, damage to seabirds and other wildlife inhabitants, and economic loss for the oil companies and local fisherman. The publication One-petro will be used heavily for this research. Based on the results of the research, the following three best possible solution will be focused and further researched. To begin with, oil and shipping industry employees should be trained and organize frequently drills. Therefore, they can have a plan in place to respond fast and prevent oil spills. In addition, technology should be used to modify the old mechanism that are already in place, like the blowout preventer, and enhance the new ones such as Satellite SAR and OSIS oil spill identification system to cope with issue of oil spills. Finally, government regulations should be strict enough to prevent oil spills. Also, the government and operating companies should work together on how to implement the guidelines better. The scope of this paper will focus more on solution of offshore oil spills.11 pages

$40.00Goals:
to gain insight into a current issue in advertising as social communication;
to become competent in identifying, deconstructing and critiquing advertising codes, conventions and strategies;
to practice close, textual analysis in the context of larger social issues and past or contemporary cultural trends.
Basic Requirements (see also General Requirements below)
Approximately 1800-2400 words or 6-8 pages
Analyze a small set of ads that are somehow related
Format according to APA style
Include a bibliography or works cited page
Papers will be assessed on their originality, creativity and organization as well as on the demonstrated mastery of basic writing and research skills including: development of a thesis and clear argument, effective use of research sources and relevant advertising examples, and ability to express ideas clearly. Your professor and TA are resources, so is the Student Learning Commons http://learningcommons.sfu.ca. Draw upon those resources early in the writing process.Suggestions to guide your analysis:
You should choose your ads carefully; select ads that will allow you to make substantial and relevant arguments about past or recent trends in advertising and consumer culture.
For this longer paper, 3-4 ads is probably ideal but you might choose fewer or more depending on your topic and findings. More print ads, fewer TV ads is a good rule. Keep your analysis focused on your arguments. You will not be able to say everything there is to be said about 4 or 5 ads unless you focus on the most relevant issues and develop these into a thesis.
If you chose television advertising, you will need to access to multiple viewing; working from memory of an ad seen on TV will not be adequate.
This is to be a critical analysis; you will be required to provide a reading of the ads based on argument. Do not duplicate the rhetoric of the ads; I want to hear your voice, not the ads’. Emphasize analysis rather than description. In other words, in addition to briefly describing what is in the ad, analyze how and why things are significant.
Begin the process with your observations and from those develop specific, arguments and substantial conclusions. Spend very little space describing the ads. Please include originals or photocopies of any print ads you write about or provide links to television ads. If you encounter a problem with access or references, email jkb9@sfu.ca
Make claims as to the significance of the ads and the strategies they employ. You must go well beyond such observational and obvious statements as “sex sells,” “it is eye-catching,” “it grabs your attention” or “it is designed to sell product x” (in fact, avoid such simplistic, observational and clichéd phrases at all costs). If an ad breaks with convention or uses a particular strategy to stand out in the cluttered landscape of advertising, your task is not to simply identify such strategies but rather, like all the authors we have read, to make arguments about the significance of its particular strategies.
Use the methods and ideas from the course readings and lectures. Use only those methods and ideas that are relevant to the ads you will analyze.
Some Topic ideasHow is authenticity used in advertising?
What forms does authenticity take?
How is it coded: what social, photographic, televisual codes are used?
How does an ad or ads differentiate “authentic” products from mass production?
How is the production process represented?
How does artisanal or craft values operate in the promotion of mass produced goods?
How does authenticity reinforce the ideology of consumer culture?
Find an example of a social or cultural space that is branded and discuss its implications with reference to Moor.General Requirements:
1. Some ground rules when writing on advertising:
When analyzing advertising do not use the words “reality” or “real.” Realism is okay.
Never write about the effects of advertising on its viewers or audience; remember this is about social communication, not individual psychology.
This may be about social communication, but avoid that vague word “society.” Be specific about what social structures and what social institutions are relevant to your analysis: patriarchy, traditional cultures, the advertising industry, advertisers, etc. Don’t say: “society limits roles for women.” Do say, “these advertisements represent women in traditional, patriarchal roles as wife and homemaker.” Don’t say: “Society encourages us all to be consumers.” Do say: “Advertising addresses us as consumers, rarely citizens.
Avoid all metaphors of reflection; use metaphors of representation.2. Draw upon the ideas and methods of relevant course readings/lectures incorporating them into your own analysis. Your primary research is watching TV/youtube, reading magazines and scouring the internet for relevant advertisements. While outside research is not required, it is encouraged and will enhance your grade. It is appropriate and expected that you borrow ideas so long as you cite your sources. See the MLA Handbook or any other style guide for proper format of references. Underline or italicize
titles of books, advertisements, TV shows, journals or magazines, put individual episodes or article titles in quotation marks. Plagiarism shows a lack of integrity, is dishonest, and is poor scholarship. The minimum penalty for plagiarism is an F on the assignment.
Academic sources can be found on the Internet – start with google scholar. Wikipedia is a great tool and a good starting point but it is not an appropriate source for academic papers. Other kinds of Internet sources should only be used as examples of your arguments; approach them critically. Avoid citing journalistic or personal opinions unless they are evidence of an argument about reception. Advertising trade journals can be a great source can give you insight into strategies, target audiences and how advertisers understand those audiences. But be aware that advertisers will make exaggerated claims about the effectiveness of their campaigns. Advertising trade journals offer insight into how advertisers see and understand their audiences, they tell us nothing about the actual audience. Treat this information as you do the ads themselves, with a critical attitude – just like Marchand does.3. Be sure your introduction clearly sets out your thesis or main argument. Make sure your introduction contains a precise, concise thesis statement. Be sure to signal to the reader exactly what you propose to argue in the main body of your paper.
In the introduction you should use only two or three sentences to describe the set of ads you are working with. Here an example of a brief description of a set of ads:This paper will study seven advertisements taken from 3 mainstream woman’s magazines: Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan and Elle. These ads are for a wide range of products that pertain to body care: fashion, fitness, make-up, health spas, food, hair, skin care and diet services. Despite their obvious differences in the products advertised, they all employ a similar strategy. They all represent women’s empowerment at the workplace or within male/female relationships and suggest that the purchase of their products can serve as a catalyst for that empowerment. [Notice how this moves from description directly into an argument.]
Your thesis should be an argument, not an observation:
To signify feminism, these ads all assemble signs that connote sexual independence, participation in the work force, individual freedom and self-control. All these ads offer the means by which women, through the selection and purchase of appropriate goods, can negotiate the difficult contradiction between validation through will-power and self-discipline and the achievement of individual freedom and social equality. These ads are part of a consistently contradictory message in advertising aimed at modern women: that self-discipline equals freedom and that self-denial equals equality. This contradiction has its basis in a reframing of feminism as individuated self-empowerment so that the political logic of feminism can be reworked to fit in with the individualized logic of commodity relations.
[A thesis should establish important arguments and make claims as to the significance of your findings. Notice how an observation quickly moves to analysis and then to substantial argument.]
Following paragraphs should offer fully developed arguments that support your main thesis. Most paragraphs should be at least 4 or 5 sentences long or about half a page. Conclude with a summary of your arguments and a restatement, in different words, of your thesis. I hate writing conclusions too but it must be done. Rewrite your introduction after you finish the paper.
4. You will not be judged on your opinions, but on your arguments. Begin with insights and arguments and support those with observations and conclusions. Take a stand; challenge yourself and your readers toward new insights and ideas. A string of observations does not constitute an academic paper. Description should always be in the service of analysis. Only describe elements, images, layout, narrative structure, etc. when you need to support an argument. In order of importance: 1) arguments, 2) analysis, 3) observation.
5. Avoid informal language: “basically,” “I mean,” and vague terms: “society,” “the media,” “the viewers,” etc.
6. Be careful with first person pronouns; focus attention on your arguments about advertising or issue in question, not on yourself or your process of writing this assignment. As long as you don’t write about yourself or the process of writing, 1st person is okay. To say “I will argue that…” is to call attention to your argument, rather than yourself. To say “I watched six ads and I noticed how products were always shown…” draws attention to you, not the ads or their structure and strategies.
7. Demonstrate all the effort, thought and care that went into writing your paper with a good looking presentation. Double space with a 10 or 12 point serif font like Palatino or Times, use one inch margins on all sides, number your pages and staple your paper. Embedded images are cool, plastic covers are not. No folders or paper clips — just a simple staple. If you don’t know how to create a footnote or put automatic page numbers in the margins, learn it now! Don’t you dare graduate without good word processing skills – you’ll be a very unhappy worker on your first day on the job.
8. Most important: take pride in your ideas and express them in the clearest, most convincing way you can.
*****Make sure you do not talk about the effect on the consumers and how does advertisement manipulate consumers. However that was the main point for my essay so you will have to delete everything that has mentioned about manipulation. Make sure you also don’t mention the psychologic of why consumer purchase. So basically you need to answer the question above of how authenticity applied into advertisement base on that four ads*****
Also make sure you talk about the signifier and signified in the ad (check the reading semiotics)
