Extended Argument (Synthesis #1)
$25.00Having the Critique under your belt as well some of the brief homework reflections must feel pretty good. Use this confidence as we now move into our first long paper of the semester, Synthesis #1. At first, see this paper as anextended argumentyou make about a particular topic using secondary sources to help prove your point.
Topic Selection
Choosing a topic for your Synthesis #1 is important and must argue a specific point you choose. In other words, you must have an arguable thesis and it must relate to the readings in the Media and Popular Culture chapter we have been reading. You may wish to extend the argument of one of the readings, or refute it, or build on it in a different way. Do not simply argue that a certain reading or author is right or wrong and repeat how so; instead, use the readings as a springboard for you to investigate a topic and put together ideas in new or different way. To help you with is selection,I am requiring you to email me your topic idea and receive my approval. I am doing this to make sure you will have a workable topic and so I can suggest strategies right away.
What is a Synthesis?
If anything confuses a student when writing an essay like this, it is the actual term “synthesis”. Don’t worry too much about term; instead, see what you are doing as arguing a position with a variety of sources to help you; you are building an argument by bringing ideas together (aka synthesis). What you want to do in this essay is show that you cansustain a logical, persuasive argument and control/use sources to your persuasive end. Try to have your secondary sources have a “dialogue” with each other in terms of what they do and do not agree with in relation to your argued positions. We will practice this in class.
Additional Help with Synthesis
A key strategy for a synthesis essay is to “establish connections among readings”. The more you can have a “dialogue” between your sources, the more credible you will be as an author and the more importance you may place on your assessment of the ideas being discussed. This is the lifeblood of academic essays in almost all disciplines.
Also, this is an essay that may really be helped out by using some of the templates fromThey Say/I Say. I may assign that you use them in a certain order, but even if not, the templates are excellent ways to start “saying something” if you are stuck. Review pages 55-75 inThey Say/I Sayfor some directions.
Required Sources
I am requiring you to use between 3-5 sources to help your write your essay here. I would like you to use at least 2 from the readings thus far in the semester. You may certainly use more. You
should also bring in other sources your find on your own as long as they are credible and work in the assignment. Please use MLA Style for this essay as well as a Works Cited page.
The Assignment
Compose a5-7page essay writing an argument synthesis about a topic that you specify. You should argue a specific point and use sources to help prove your ideas and persuade the reader. Do not simply argue the same point or idea from a source; instead, add your own ideas and perspective to make your argument greater than any one source.
With a bit more length to write, you may use extended examples, more citation and paraphrase and most important, discussion amongst your sources. Predictably, your essay should have an engaging introduction, clearly organized body, and effective conclusion, as well as proper formatting throughout.
We will have two separate writing workshops with peers on your rough draft and ideas, and also another class workshop on MLA Style.
Nuts and Bolts:
Typed, double-space, 1″ margins. Please use Standard Written English! MLA Style and Works Cited Page please.
5pages is fine.College fresh writing level.

What is a mind map?
A mind map is a diagram used to visually organise information. A mind map is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the centre of a blank landscape page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those.
As with other diagramming tools, mind maps can be used to generate, visualise, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid to studying and organising information, solving problems, making decisions, and writing. Mind maps are tools which help you think and learn. (http://www-public.jcu.edu.au/learningskills/resources/lsonline/mindmapping/)

Why Einstein is able to come up with the formula and what makes him so successful
$2.00Reading article . go to the link http://www.stresscure.com/hrn/einstein.html
Discuss about what do you learn from einstein’s story.
it could be “Why einstein is able to come up with the formula and what makes him so successful “
it could be something like
Einstein has been able to see further, it was only because he stood on the shoulders of giants. He cant come up with the formula without the existing science and math formula
Or something like
” you didn’t know you had some Einstein in you!
The amazing thing about Einstein wasn’t so much his intellect–it was his COURAGE. Not only did he dare to question “gospel truths” that everyone around believed in very strongly, but he also had the courage to stick to his guns when everyone around him started attacking him intensely.
He was confident in his assessments. He stood firm in the face of expanding criticism, because he was clear he was on to something “real” and important. And no matter how strongly people disagreed with him, he maintained his integrity and didn’t cave in. “

Length: 12-15 pages not including title and reference pagesArt History: Michelangelo and Rembrandt Answers
$17.50Art History: Michelangelo and Rembrandt Answers
Question 1:
During the Renaissance and Baroque periods the type of patron diversified beyond the church to include private individuals, city governments, and corporate commissions, sponsored by entities such as the Wool Guild. These patrons that were outside of the church were essential to artists to ensure their financial livelihood. Often artists, like Michelangelo, were forced to take commissions and complete works that they did not want to undertake. In 3 well developed paragraphs, discuss:
- Michelangelo’s version of David was a public monument commissioned by the Florentine city council. How do you see the context of a city government as patron influencing how Michelangelo visualized the biblical hero David?
- The biblical hero David was a popular subject for sculpture and painting throughout the Renaissance and into the Baroque period. By studying, comparing, and contrasting sculptures of David created in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries, you can begin to see the stylistic changes that occurred across these centuries. In 3 well-developed paragraphs, compare and contrast the following 3 sculptures of David:
- Early Renaissance: Donatello. David.1430s.
- High Renaissance: Michelangelo. David.1504. (Note: Scroll down to image 20-10).
- Baroque. Gian Lorenzo Bernini. David. 1624–1624.
In your comparison, discuss:
- What specific visual similarities do you observe in these three sculptures?
- What specific differences do you see?
- How has the attitude of David changed between these three representations of David?
Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.
Question 2:
In Northern Europe, the group portrait was a popular genre of painting in the Dutch Republic, and Rembrandt was in high demand as a portraitist. In 3 well developed paragraphs, discuss:
- How did Rembrandt revolutionize the group portrait? Examine his worksThe Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes TulpandThe Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq (The Night Watch)?
- Artists like Rembrandt and the other successful Dutch portrait artists laid the foundation for what today is seen as a proper or successful portrait. From the official portrait of Kate Middleton (2013) in England, to the portraits of US presidents, to those of CEOs in major corporations all owe a debt to the work of Rembrandt, Hals, and other seventeeth-century portrait painters. Locate 2 contemporary portraits and discuss the visual characteristics that are inspired by Rembrandt’s style.
Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.

Guide: Answer Approach Michel Kilo
$0.00Michel Kilo, a Syrian Christian writer and human rights activist, in a TV interview narrates an anecdote about this poor young lady who was put in prison in retaliation of her political -opposition-father who fled Syria to Jordan in the early 2000s. When in jail, Kilo was asked by one of the prison guards to amuse a child of this lady, who is about 5 years old, since Kilo was an intellectual and he might have children stories to tell. He says, when I started telling the child about a bird flying, the child stopped me asking, “what is a bird”? He was shocked, then started explaining that a bird who sits on the tree, again the child asks, what is a tree? Kilo knew that he was in a bad situation that the child never left the prison cell since he was born in it. He escaped the situation by singing a children song, and then left the room.

The Arabs had been just like that child before the Arab spring, they had been imprisoned by their dictators, they hardly understood what human rights, democracy, elections, etc, mean?
for these reasons, it is not surprising to see this setbacks in most of the cases Libya, Syria, and Yemen, and to a degree, arguably Egypt. Tunisia, however, emerged to be the only case that seems to succeed to pass the transition period.
- Which theory provides the best framework to explain revolutions? (required)
- What were the main causes of the Arab Revolutions? (Required)
- What accounts for the historical rise of Islamism? (required)
- Can Tunisia be the new model of regional democracy? Your answer should include comparison between Tunisia and other relevant cases.
- Can Egypt become a new source of regional stability? Can it resume a democratic transition? Or is it moving backward toward deepening authoritarianism?
- What are the forces that led to growing sectarian conflict in the Middle East? What lessons can be learned from other religious wars? What is the future of Syrian and other refugees?
Response to assimilation as experienced by the characters in Gish Jen’s short story “In the American Society.”
$17.50ASSIMILATION AND IDENTITY
This assignment grants you the opportunity to enter into the ongoing debate regarding the concept of assimilation and its implications. This topic requires you to consider your own understanding and position within the debate through an analysis of Gish Jen’s “In the American Society.” While Paper 1 asked you to engage a single secondary source (Crèvecoeur) while analyzing a literary text (your exhibit source), this paper assignment will ask you to engage more deeply in your argument by acknowledging and responding to at least two secondary sources (from among Crèvecoeur, Glazer, and Alba & Nee). You will continue to implement the introduction structure of common ground > problem > claim, with an increased focus on a statement of the significance (“so what?”). You will also strengthen your argument by acknowledging and responding to alternate points of view (counterarguments/naysayers).
Task:
In 1100-1300 words (roughly 4-6 pages), you are to develop an argument in response to the problem of assimilation as experienced by the characters in Gish Jen’s short story “In the American Society.” The varied (and, at times, conflicting) treatments of assimilation in at least two secondary sources(see the back of this page) will help you add dimension to your argument. In what ways do the Changs reveal a desire to reject the old in favor of the new? In what ways to they resist assimilation? What role does power play in the assimilation process (consider power from money, from being a part of the ethnic majority, etc.)? In what ways do the representatives of the ethnic majority (dominant culture) in the story change (or not) as a result of incorporating the ethnic minority? Through your analysis of the role of assimilation throughout the story, you will ultimately come to your own conclusions about the process. In the conclusion of your paper, you will be expected to formulate responses to the following crucial questions:How do you define “assimilation” and to what extent is it possible?Consumerism in Modern America
$25.00MLC 400 WA (Winter 2014)
The Washington MILE: Essay Assignment
Description:
During our stay in Washington, we saw and experienced a number of things that spoke to the larger ‘American experience’ in the world. From the monuments that we visited, to the museums, to the Canadian embassy to the United States, and the various governmental and cultural sites that we toured, you get a sense of what America regards as its natural ‘place in the world.’ Now it is your turn to reflect more deeply on one of those experiences.
You are free to choose a topic that you find interesting and worthy of further exploration, but it should be relevant (if even tangentially) to our visit to Washington. Suggested topics are:
- Current issues in Canadian-American relations
- The Civil Rights Movement
- The Holocaust in history and in memory
- Consumerism in modern America
- War and memory in modern America
- George Washington and his historical legacy
- Thomas Jefferson and his historical legacy
- Architecture and American power
I am open to a creative interpretation of any of these themes, or a theme not listed here, but try as best as you can to keep it relatively on topic.
Structure, Format and Research
I would like to see a clear thesis statement or question in the opening paragraph of your work. (This lets the reader understand what the writer will be exploring). Remember to keep the rest of the paper focused on this initial thesis statement or question.
The paper should be about 6-7 pages in length, double spaced, 12 pt. font. That is about 1600-1800 words. You should have 7 sources for the final paper. I would suggest using websites and Seneca Library’s database when looking for sources. Sources should be specific and relevant to your research. Do not use general, encyclopaedic sources like Wikipedia and online encyclopaedias- they are useful for general research, but shouldn’t be cited in your paper. These sources will not be counted towards your ten sources. (Wikipedia is a great place to start your research, but don’t use that type of source in your citations).
You should properly cite all of the websites, and articles that you use in your research. I don’t mind if a majority of your sources are websites, but I would like to see a journal article, where possible, in your mix of sources. I would also like you to footnote all of your citations as you write. Please email me or see me anytime if you have any questions on this.
Critique of race as a biology can only be justified if one believes that a revival of oldstyle, scientific racism is a genuine possibility
$30.00In a 2,000 words essay, answer one of the following questions:
Essay Question 1:
Geneticists’ claims, such as `Race [as an imperfect proxy or a holding place for genetic variation] is not meaningless, but it is biologically imperfect’ (Jorde 2004, as cited in Sankar 2008: 274), are the basis for Sociology’s reignited critique of race as biology. However, it is argued that this `critique of race as a biology can only be justified if one believes that a revival of oldstyle, scientific racism is a genuine possibility’ (Skinner 2007: 938). Discuss [1] the plausibility of this argument and [2] the potential consequences of said revival for governing ethnically diverse societies, such as Australia.Essay Question 2:
At the core of transnationalism is the existence of social fields that [1] have crossnational character, and [2] intimately link migrants’ homelands and their new diasporic locations (Patterson 2006:1891). Considering the crossnational character of these fields, the agents (migrants) maintain close social proximity despite the geographical/spatial distance. Focusing on a transnational (migrant) group of your choice, critically discuss the following statement: `tangibility of the interactions in the geographic regions are exclusive evidence to claim that the closer the agents, groups, institutions are to each other (in geographical terms) the more common properties they share’.Essay Question 3:
Losing faith in the unifying force of civic nationalism, conservative critics of the multicultural policy deemed it as leading towards `cleaving’ of Australian society fostered by transnational identities formation (James 2006) and ultimately tribalism (Blainey cited in Dunn 2005). Hence, at the dawn of the 21st century, Australian policy makers have welcomed the return of integration to policy rhetoric (Jakubowicz 2008). Under what sorts of circumstances may ethnic belonging and civicnational belonging come into conflict consequently undermining the unifying force of civic nationalism?Main Task: Create a Data Analysis
