REQUIREMENT TO READ THE PROMPT (provides clear instructions for the writing task)
Logical Fallacies
As the term suggests, logical fallacies are flaws in reasoning that detract from the overall
value of an argument. Politicians are often guilty of using logical fallacies in an attempt to
gain public support. Writers, however, cannot resort to such tactics, mainly because
writing is usually closely evaluated. Good writers avoid using logical fallacies because they
detract from the value of an argument rather than add to it.

The following is a list of common logical fallacies writers should avoid:
Distorting the Facts
Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc
Hasty Generalizations
The Slippery Slope
False Analogy
Staw Man
Special Pleading
False Dichotomy
Oversimplification
Red Herring
Prompt:
Select one of the logical fallacies presented in this course & research a political campaign
video that exemplifies that fallacy. Write a 500-word analysis of the video (650 max). This critical response assignment should include the following:

1. An introduction and conclusion (MLA format)
2. The purpose of the video
3. An argument being presented
4. An analysis of a Logical Fallacy
5. No grammatical errors (recommend Grammarly)
6. Meet the word count
6. The video should be linked (No Exceptions)
Requirements:
– no plagarism
– organization (clearly & logically)
– written using an academic, formal language; do not make the text difficult to comprehend
– writer presents the purpose & argument of the video, which is linked
– The writer presents an essay that is logically structured: clear introduction, body, and
conclusion. The writer provides a formal introduction that introduces the essay’s purpose, each body paragraph discusses a specific element of the essay, and the conclusion further emphasizes the thesis.
– The writer clearly analyzes one of the logical fallacies by providing vivid descriptions and
examples.

Please and thank you.

How did COVID-19 increase people’s mental health risk?

-It should be double-spaced and 12-point Times New Roman. I wrote a topic proposal and annotated bibliography on this topic before so I attached it in here and this is the next project. So it should be related to each other like one person wrote it.
-The literature review should provide an overview of all relevant sources within the body of knowledge related to the topic. It should be separated by themes, concepts, or methodology, and should focus on synthesizing the information, rather than listing and summarizing them by individual sources. I attached another student’s literature review as an example so you can have an idea. But don’t copy it. Just get an idea.
-Make sure that you are not only developing research questions but asking other relevant questions related to your topic.

IKEA Case

Please read and analyze the IKEA case and answer the questions below. You may structure the paper as
you see fit, but you must use appropriate headings and sub-headings so that the intended audience has a
clear idea of the issues you are addressing in each section of the assignment.
The main body of your report should not exceed three pages in length (single-spaced). In addition to the
main body of the report, you may wish to include a professional cover page, an executive summary and a
bibliography – these sections will not count towards the three-page limit.

Imagine that you are a sustainability auditor at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). As part of your investment
advisory services, you are tasked with analyzing IKEA’s sustainability plan, efforts, and outcomes.
Page 2
1. How would you assess IKEA Group’s People and Planet Positive sustainability plan? Is the plan
likely to help the company transform its business? Are the plan’s targets too limited, appropriate,
or too ambitious?
2. How does IKEA’s sustainability strategy align with its business strategy? What are the overlaps?
What are the conflicts?
3. Four options are offered in the case from page 8 to 10 to address IKEA’s Wood Supply Chain
sustainability. Which option should IKEA Group pursue to address IKEA’s Wood Supply Chain
sustainability? Provide pros and cons for each option and choose one option that is best in your
opinion.
Please structure your assignment as an executive report.

Evaluate film

Watch the documentary The Corporation (linked below). Write a five-page paper in which you critically evaluate the film. In evaluating the film, refer to chapters 6, 8, and 10 in your textbook. Do NOT use any other sources to evaluate the film. In writing your essay, you will want to briefly summarize the film’s main points (your summary should be no more than one page). Then, analyze the film’s key arguments. If you find the arguments persuasive, show why they are so and develop them further. If you find them unpersuasive, explain why. One question you might want to think about is: do the practices depicted in the film suggest that the American political system is not working properly? Or do these practices instead suggest that the American political system is in fact working as it was designed? In answering this question, you should think about James Madison’s discussion of factions and pluralism in Federalist #10.

Your essay will be graded on the persuasiveness of your analysis, the effectiveness of your use of the required sources, and the overall quality of your writing. So be sure to give yourself enough time to write, revisit, and carefully edit your essay so that you can submit a clear, convincing, and well-written work.
