Study Tips 101: Take Breaks
It’s important to take breaks while you’re studying, especially if you’re feeling tired or frustrated. Working too long on a task can actually decrease your performance.
When you take a break, make sure you get away from your desk or study space. A bit of physical activity – even just a walk around the block – can sometimes help you to look at a problem in a different way and could even help you to solve it.Differences in Human Mate Preferences

$10.00The Short Bus – Implications of being labeled different in our society
In the summer, we got a writing assignment. For this assignment, we had to read the book The Short Bus and write a paper about it. Later on after school had started and time had passed the author of the book, Jonathan Mooney came in and had a presentation with us. Now I will be writing about the many different implications, both positive and negative, of being labeled different in our society. Also, I will describe and justify my ethical response to the use of words as weapons against others.
Unethical: Same Sex Marriage
$0.00In your paper
Explain the topic you are addressing and your position on it. Provide a preview of your paper and a statement of your thesis in your opening paragraph. [Approximately 100 words]
For help crafting a good thesis statement, go to the Ashford Writing Center.
Present your main argument for your thesis in standard form, with each premise and the conclusion on a separate line. Clearly indicate whether your argument is intended to be inductive or deductive. Follow up the presentation of your argument by clarifying the meaning of any premises that could use some explanation. [About 150 words]
If your argument is deductive, then it should be valid (in the strict logical sense of the word); if it is inductive, then it should be strong. Make sure to avoid committing logical fallacies within your argument (e.g., begging the question). Additionally, the premises should be true, to the best of your knowledge. If one of your premises has a pretty obvious counter-example, then you should either fix the argument so that it does not have this flaw, or later, in your paper (steps three through five) you should address the apparent counter-example (showing that it does not really refute the truth of your premise). Arguments that are not valid, not very strong, commit fallacies, or that have counter-examples that are not adequately addressed will not receive full credit.
Provide supporting evidence for the premises of your argument.
Pay special attention to those premises that could be seen as controversial. Evidence may include academic research sources, supporting arguments (arguments whose conclusions are premises of the main argument), or other ways of demonstrating the truth of those premises. This section should include at least one scholarly research source.
Explain a strong objection to your argument.
Study what people on the other side of this question think about your reasoning and present the best possible objection that someone could have to your argument. Do not commit the straw man fallacy here. Reference at least one scholarlyresearch source. See the “Practicing Effective Criticism” section of Chapter 9 of the course text for more information.
Defend your argument against the objection.
Once you have presented the objection, indicate clearly how you might respond to it. It is acceptable to admit that reasonable people might disagree with you or that there might be an area in which your argument could be further strengthened, but you should do your best to explain why your argument is sound or cogent despite the objections.
Provide an appropriate conclusion.
For guidance about how to develop a conclusion see the Introductions and Conclusion resource from the Ashford Writing Center.
For further instruction on how to create arguments, see the How to Construct a Valid Main Argument and Tips for
The Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types. If you have questions about whether a specific source is appropriate for this assignment, please contact your instructor. Your instructor has the final say about the appropriateness of a specific source for a particular assignment.
Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (for more information about how to create an APA reference list see the Ashford Writing Center APA References List webpage).
Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Chaos in the 21st Century Cultures Paper
$35.00Introduction:
We have transverse American literature this semester, stopping at many destinations, picking up a few theories and narratives; personal truths as we move forward in what we’ve proven to have unique or intrinsic “American-ness:” American values, believes, moral leanings; American conceptual ideas within essays, fiction, articles, and poetry.
Your assignment is simple enough with a few complexities. American Literature in the 21st century, or rather the Post-Modern time period is a century infused with the similar issues and concepts you’ve found in the 18th, 19th, and 20th century, in terms of what your previous authors were focused on and writing about in those centuries.
Paper Instructions:
This paper will be a six to seven page literature analysis on your 2-3 author’s work, why and how three issues or concepts from the American 21st century are depicted, explained, or/and defined AND how the work(s) themselves depict, explain, and define the Human Condition.
Paper Instructions Break Down:
After you’ve selected 3 issues or concepts from the American 21st century, you will pick One 21st century author from the ENGL 2130 textbook. You may choose One or Two more authors from outside of the ENGL 2130 textbook. You may only have three, 21st century American authors. These chosen authors’ 21st century work, or rather pieces of literature, must argue for, demonstrate, define, or/and depict a movement in America as well as argue for, demonstrate, define; depict the “Human Condition” in the American 21st century society. You’ll follow the same process as the Presentation paper for the 20th century.
(Long Example: Concept A,B,C are found in the American 21st century. James Baldwin’s collection of essays entitled The First Next Time depicted an evolution of Civil Rights in the overarching American, 21st century society. In the collection of essays, foundational elements of the Civil Rights movement such as____,______,______ are important to demonstrating the human condition due to ABC.)
Note: Social movements? Post-modernism literary period? Check the “Final Theory
Paper/ Final portfolio” folder.
*****
Prompt Questions to Consider:
How does this body of work (the literature you’ve chosen from your 2-3 authors) expand, explain, define, and expose what America is and how America/Americans might deal with certain issues: war, sexism, religion, nature/environment, minorities, technology, music, etc. Think to yourself: What new meaning and what new lens can I bring to the ongoing conversation about this text? What can I teach my reader, in terms of defining America through its literature? What themes do I see and what themes are important to the literary period and my overarching argument?
Re-Cap Requirements:
1) You will use at least 4 sources. The sources must be relevant and must support your thesis.
2) The readings (poems, short stories, speeches) must be cited in the Work Cited page, but these readings do not count towards your 4 resources.
3) You may only use ONE “.edu” website as a resource, if you want to use a website.
4) All research sources must come from books, academic journals, or academic articles. You may also use any source from “Readings Folder” or in the 2130 textbook as a resource.
5) You should use the concepts you’ve gathered from either 18th, 19th, or 20th century and incorporate those concepts and paragraphs into this paper.
6) Though you may use a concept and its subsequent paragraphs, you will not use the entire or 2/3rds of the 20th century Presentation group paper.
This literature analysis will do/ answer a few items:
1) Form a thesis. Create an argument. Come up with a theory about how and why your author’s work defines American Literature. <<Required. Place in Paper
It would behoove you to go through your own process and come up with a definition of American Lit., a process you’ve engaged with all semester. After you finish going through the process, compare and contrast how your author’s came to their individual conclusions. Think of American literature characteristics and how a foreign visitor might find our literature strange, intriguing, abrasive, hopeful, and onward. <<Not Required (these steps). This brainstorm is not place in Paper.
2) You must show that you understand the concept of Literature and that you understand the literary period (21st century/Post-Modernism).
(Long Example:
Thesis Template Example Without the Key Specifics: “Because of this….this occurs in both short stories, and because this occurs in the short stories, the reader sees this and this whiche marks the emergence of poignant characteristics of this wave/ movement in American literature and history. These characteristics are depicted and mandated by ABC.” The latter is a vague template you may fill in with specifics and details. This might serve as a part of your introduction and your thesis.)
3) Identifying and Adding to the Conversation: Remember, at this point, you are an expert on American literature, thought process, and definitely critiquing Amer. Lit. in its 20th/21st century forms. It’s not how much you agree or disagree with the literature period or/and the American history, but what matters is the different perspective you will bring and add to the ongoing conversation about your chosen text. You will question yourself and the text, asking what is the purpose; what is the intent of American literature and your particular body of work?
Remember our Fiction Tools list/Questions:
Crafting Fiction:
1) Curiosity
2) Submitting to the voices, the experiences, the otherness, or similiarness of
the narrative…
3) Importance of characters. Are they reliable, can you trust them, what
makes those characters complex? What do we want from them?
4) What is/could be the goal or purpose of the novel…not particularly the
author?
5) Is the setting important to the narrative?
6) What scene(s) grab you…are attention grabbers?
7) Can you list the conflicts present…seen and unseen?
8) Themes that grab you…
9) What ideals create conflicts, create contradictions, and are American ideals? How are they American ideals? Are the ideals working? How are these ideals universal? How do they give the overarching theme depth?
*All of these questions/topics are items that you may want to (or not) look at as you cultivate an argument. Also remember the literary criticism PowerPoint as well.
Special Note:
Note: These items are important and act as your Final for this class. I will not accept late work, per the usual, and I cannot accept any excuses. Failure to turn in Both items will result in a major deduction to your overall grade and work ethic score.
Looking forward to reading your work!

Are there situations that are morally acceptable to be dishonest
$49.00Course Writing Assignment
In your writing assignment you will analyze a moral question from the perspective of the four families of moral values.
Your first step is to select a moral question from Section 1 (The Personal), Section 2 (The Public), or Section 3 (The Political) of George’s What Should I Do?
Once you have selected a moral question, you must prepare an analysis of that question that consists of six sections. The sections of your analysis must be completed in the following way.Section One
In Section One you must first state the moral question you are working with and then give a summary of what the philosopher or philosophers say about that question in George, What Should I Do?. Also include a brief commentary on what the philosophers’ response, that is, say what you found to be most important in the philosophers’ response and why, and say what you found most controversial in the philosophers’ response and why. Write at least two pages for Section One (and please do not write more than four pages).Sections Two, Three, Four, and Five
In the next four sections you must analyze the question from four different moral points of view:
Section Two: Kant’s Categorical Imperative (pp. 126-130 of Weston)
Section Three: Utilitarianism (pp. 148-155 of Weston)
Section Four: Virtue (pp. 173-188 of Weston)
Section Five: Ethics of Care (pp. 201-216 of Weston)Your analysis in each case must consist of the following two components. First, you must explain how moral questions are framed and answered from within that perspective. Second, you must say how the moral question you are working with would be answered from that perspective and explain why. Sections Two, Three, Four and Five should be at least two pages long (and please do not write more than four pages for each section).
Section Six
Section Six is your conclusion in which you state your own considered answer to the moral question. Be sure to explain in detail why you believe that your answer is the correct answer. Your answer may be that you are not sure what the correct answer to the question is, along with an explanation of why different moral values or perspectives seem to be pulling you in different directions on that question.Format Requirements
You must use a bold heading for each section (Section One, Section Two, etc.). Your name and the words “Ethics, PHIL 1103” must appear at the top of your submission. You must number the pages. Your submission must be prepared as an MS Word or pdf file. You must submit your writing assignment to the appropriate Dropbox folder by the deadline (the deadline is given in the Course Calendar).Tips for good philosophical writing
Clarity of expression is of maximum importance in this sort of writing; clarity is the chief stylistic aim. One strategy for writing clearly is to write as simply as possible: write short sentences in the active voice, avoid rhetorical questions, patiently explain each move your thinking is taking, and spend time making your strange or controversial claims sound plausible. Reading your paper aloud to yourself will help to expose places where explanation would be helpful. Remember that the goal is not just to express your ideas, but to express your ideas in a way that can be understood by others. Drawing distinctions is one of the most important tasks of philosophical writing about ethics. There are many different kinds of rights and virtues, many different ways to understand what ‘well-being’ and ‘care’ mean. Always ask yourself “what are some different senses here” of any concept or notion that plays an important role in your work.
Standards of Evaluation
In grading your submission, attention will be given to the following: use of English (grammar, spelling, punctuation), whether each of the required tasks in each section was attempted, clarity of expression, the detail in which the ideas are explored, and imagination.12 pages

Cultural Self-Inventory Paper: The Influences of Gender, Race, and Class on My Social Identity
$45.00Cultural Self-Inventory Paper:
The Influences of Gender, Race, and Class on My Social Identity
Abstract
According to Brenda Allen in Difference Matters, social identity refers to “aspects of a person’s self-image derived from group-based categories,” and this identity affects how we interact or relate to other individuals and groups (Allen, 2011, p. 11). A self-inventory in determining my own social identity would include the roles of daughter and daughter-in-law, sister, wife, mother, and soon, a mother-in-law within my family group. At work, I am part of the group of registered nurses, operating within the larger healthcare provider group. In my pursuit of a higher nursing degree, I am a student. In my community, I am a volunteer, a neighbor, and a responsible citizen, following the laws and rules of the community where I live. I also identify with other groups; I am from the Northeastern part of the country, I am American, white, heterosexual, a woman, middle-class, and Christian. Most predominant in my self-assessment, though, and the factors that have shaped my reality the most in my opinion, are my race, gender, and social class. Being a woman has influenced my education and career decisions and my relationships within my family. Being white has afforded me opportunities that have affected my social class and job opportunities. Despite movement in class, my gender has had negative influence on potential within the corporate world, leading to a career change. These power influences of the forces of gender, race, and, to some degree, social class on my identity will be discussed in the following pages.10 Pages, APA – 1 Reference

Abstract
Who am I? As simple as this question is, it has a much more profound and complex answer. I smile to myself as my mind immediately recalls the essay written by Brian in the movie The Breakfast Club. According to Brian (Tanen, Hughes, & Hughes, 1986), “you see us as you want to see us.” His message regarding the stereotypes and social expectations of society are accurate and these classifications can have a powerful influence on how an individual is molded throughout his or her life. As I contemplate my past experiences and confrontations, I come to the realization that I, too, have been shaped by outside forces. So I sit here, perfectly molded, and summarize my present self into words7 pages, APA – 2 References
