Requirements
compose a thoroughly-researched 2500-3000-word argument essay that integrates 7-10 sources, at least 2 of which should be from peer-reviewed, scholarly sources, and demonstrates deep thinking and writing about a specific chosen topic.
Word count requirement: 2500-3000 words
Source requirement: 7-10 sources (two of which must be peer-reviewed scholarly sources)
Genre requirement: form should mirror function. This may take the form of a traditional essay, or it may make more sense as a magazine article, newspaper exposé, website, or blog. Remember that style is part of message, so allow creativity to come through here, even in a project that requires deep research.
Grading
Your thesis, research, paper organization, paragraph organization, level of detail, and style are key for this and all writing assignments for this class.
Thesis
Because this is an argumentative paper, it should have a debatable thesis. The thesis should fully, specifically, and accurately summarize the argument and main points of the paper in the form of a clear claim and supporting premises (see Thesis Temple). After reading the thesis, your reader should be able to see a clear and accurate outline of the essay. Do not leave any “surprise ideas” in the paper for the reader to discover later.
Research
Sources must be reliable. For this assignment, the university also requires at least two (2) peer-reviewed, scholarly sources. Peer-reviewed sources come from a university press or a journal associated with a university. Be aware that library databases and Google Scholar archive both peer-reviewed AND non-peer-reviewed resources, so always check to see who the publisher is. Peer-reviewed sources go through a strict review process before they are published, and always contain the most accurate and thorough information.
Paper Organization (including introducing quotations)
Give some thought to what organization would most help a reader through your argument. Use the Structure of Classical Argument to shape your essay. All borrowed information (direct quotations and paraphrases) must begin with a clear signal phrase and end with a correct parenthetical citation.
Paragraph Organization
All paragraphs for critical writing must have the following:
Topic sentence: first sentence of the paragraph. Should be debatable/require evidence for support. Evidence: In the form of quotations, personal anecdotes, statistics, etc. If a quotation, it MUST be introduced. NEVER begin a sentence with a quotation. Discussion: should explain the relevance of the essay for the argument. Do not merely re-state the evidence; tell the reader why it matters. DO NOT use the last sentence to “transition” to the next paragraph. This is confusing for readers, who are conditioned to expect a new idea at the beginning of a paragraph, not at the end.

Part B, Briefing Paper
One important aspect of community work, whether in a local government
setting, a large government department or an NGO, is to ‘brief’ decision makers
on an important issue or situation. A briefing paper aims to provide a concise
and coherent explanation of the issue and it must also provide relevant
information to enable a decision to be made. Often briefing papers demonstrate
the need to change a current policy approach, to form a new policy or cease a
current policy.
Students are to submit a briefing paper that relates to a specific
policy area. It should include:
1. A clear statement of the
purpose of the policy brief
2. A concise summary of the
issue
3. Identification of the
available policy options
4. Recommendations for change, backed
up by evidence
5. A reference list
Below are some ideas to guide you in putting together your paper:
· Ensure
you build the structure around the five dot points above. They don’t need to be
sub-headings, but you should cover all these aspects in your paper. Using
headings of some sort is recommended.
· Focus
on a specific social policy issue. You might find it helpful
to design for yourself a ‘context’ and ‘audience’ for your paper. For example,
imagine you are writing a briefing paper for a ministerial advisory council on
suicide prevention in rural areas, or for a large NGO involved in advocacy with
government, advising them on the need for policy change regarding some aspect
of homelessness policy, or for a director of a government department dealing
with an aspect of policy relevant to people who’ve recently arrived in
Australia. (These are just examples, use your own experience or interest to
find your way into something you can do a good job with, or that opens up a new
field of knowledge for you).
· Make
sure you research your topic thoroughly – briefing papers are
all about condensing as much useful information as possible into an easy to
understand paper, for the benefit of the reader.
· Language
should be formal, but clear, and not too technical in a way that it is
inaccessible for someone not very familiar with the field you’re writing about.
· Recommend
a course (or courses) of action and give well thought out reasons, supported
This is not an opinion piece, but it is a document that aims to outline reasons
for why something should or shouldn’t happen, or why/how something should
change.

Health Care/Covid-19 pandemic
The assignment is a memo to the professor about ” Effective and honest public health communications and the role of dis/misinformation through social platforms and mainstream media.”
Ultimately the paper should answer a couple questions: How does a lack of effective commmunication affect the actions of the population (Mainly US but can include some global comparisons)? What role does dis/misinformation hold in motivating society to protect themselves appropriately? What role does media bias play in relationship to healthcare?
1. There is an attachment that outlines how a memo should be written per professor
2. This should be in both persuasive and informative (tone). Persuasive in the since that effect communication is need for matters related to healthcare and misinformation is a problem (provide examples)
3.Please avoid overuse of transition statements or words/phrases such as “obviously” “it should be noted”

Consequentialist Theories
Competency
Evaluate consequence-based moral theories.
Creating the perfect boss
Your company, Ye Old Paper Mill, recently experienced some organizational chart changes, mostly related to management positions. After posting low profits and even lower employment satisfaction scores, the CEO decided it was time for a change. The CEO, who prefers consequentialist views when it comes to ethical decisions, approached you, along with the rest of the human resources department, and tasked the team with weighing consequentialist ethical theories and selecting which theory would be best for potential managers. For this assessment, you will draft a proposal that addresses the following questions:
What are key features of consequentialist theories?
What are the differences between the consequentialist theories?
How does happiness and pleasure factor in to these theories? Remember employee satisfaction is at an all-time low.
What are the pros and cons of each view for the company if the majority of its employees would follow one of the particular theories?
Would it be possible for a manager, who follows a different ethical perspective, to effectively manage subordinates who follow a particular consequentialist theory?
Select and defend which consequentialist theory for management would be best for the company.
Your properly formatted proposal will need to include the following sections:
Introduction: Explain why you are sending this proposal. Provide an overview of the issue and discuss the task from the CEO.
Address the questions listed above with applicable support and research
Conclusion: In this part, you will wrap up the proposal and select and defend which consequentialist theory for management would be best for the company.
Proper Proposal Formatting: This a professional document and needs to be structured as a proposal and not as an essay. You will still need to supply both in text and full citations for the sources of your information. If you need further assistance with how to structure a proposal, click on this link. Please, all references must be 2017 and above.

Describe each court’s decision on the issue. This summary may also include the original trial court judge’s ruling on the issue and possibly that trial court judge’s reasoning.
Sample Case Brief Format
Just to make sure I take nothing for granted regarding what students know or understand about case briefs I want to explain some basic information about them. Case briefs generally involve a review of a judicial opinion. A brief can be of a trial in which a verdict has been reached or an opinion of a court, or a review of any appellate court actions or decisions. In a criminal case, typically, the trial took place and there was a verdict by a judge or a jury. An appeal was filed based on what took place during that trial.
A case brief is a review of a judicial opinion and can be either a review of a trial or an appeal from a trial. A case brief is a description of all of the facts and relevant information related to the case and any issues in dispute regarding that case. A case brief should include all the facts and circumstances that lead to the trial, the outcome of the trial, the legal issues in question, and a description of appellate decisions to show the procedural history of the case leading to the ultimate review of the last court to review the case.
So if you are reviewing a Supreme Court case, for example, you should be able to describe everything from start to finish. The crime, the arrest, the trial, the verdict, issues that came up during trial which are now being questioned or appealed after the conviction, the path the case took through the appellate courts after conviction, and the ruling and holding of the final court to review the case.
Your brief, tells a story from start to finish and demonstrates your knowledge of the facts and procedural issues involved in this case.
The case brief should include the following major categories. Format the brief so anyone can easily identify these sections. Some instructors may require more detail or more sections, but the process for researching the information is always the same.
How to read a U.S. Supreme Court Opinion
How to write a case brief.
Facts of the Case: This is a summary of events that provide context to the issues discussed in the appeal. This most often includes a summary of events which lead to an arrest and trial of the defendant. It should also include some of the arguments made by the parties in the case which are related to the reason for the appeal. For example, a person may be arrested for possession of a controlled substance. His attorney may have argued that police conducted an illegal search and the evidence should be suppressed and not used against him during the trail. After the defendant’s conviction, this objection provides the basis for the defendant’s appeal to an appellate court. This summary should include a description of reasoning and ruling of all the lower courts involved in this case. For example, a case which has made it to the Supreme Court will have moved through more than one appellate court first. Describe each court’s decision on the issue. This summary may also include the original trial court judge’s ruling on the issue and possibly that trial court judge’s reasoning.
Procedural History: Each appellate case will have a legal basis for appeal in which one of the parties involved in the case will assert that an error was committed during the original trial. Using the example above the defendant’s attorney may argue that the conviction of his client should be reversed because of a violation of his client’s rights. Other precedents (previous cases) may be cited in making this argument. Be sure to include the precise error alleged to have been made. (e.g. 4th amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches)
Judgment: This is the outcome of the case. The final decision handed down by the highest appellate court. Was the original outcome of the trial court affirmed, reversed, remanded, modified, etc? In addition to the ruling, including the court’s reasoning behind the ruling citing any precedent the court relied on. If there is a dissenting opinion (judges on the court who do not agree with the majority decision), please include their reasoning.
Your Thoughts and Opinion: This is where I want to hear your own opinion or ideas about the case. Make it at least a paragraph but more is better. Is this a good/bad decision? Do you think there will be unintended consequences because of this decision? You are not confined to any particular issues in this section as long as you explain and justify your opinion.
