Schiller’s “Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man”

There is no specific prompt for this paper but to discuss anything we would like about Philosophy and specifically the content in Schiller’s “Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man”

An idea to write about are the two tensions I see as remaining unresolved in Schiller’s whole argument: 1. the tenson between conceiving of art and beauty as having a social purpose and conceiving of them as being radical autonomous, free from any function; 2. the tension between understanding art and the aesthetic as an intermediary state (between the sensous and the “rational”) and of understanding both as a final state in the development of individuals and societies.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or ideas about how to write this paper.

What is the role of government in the financing of U.S. health care? How much do Americans pay for health care through their taxes compared to other developed countries? What are your thoughts about this?

This is a 10-page (Times New Roman, double-spaced, excluding tables, figures, and
references) paper. In the paper, you are to pick an issue surrounding leadership in an
Asian context. Discuss the problems behind the issue, and how you would suggest the
leader to tackle the issue. You are encouraged to consider alternative solutions, as
well as the advantages and limitations of the solution you pick.

A trip that changed my mindset

In 750-1,000 words or approximately three to four double-spaced pages, write an essay that follows the Map of the Analytic Essay handout. The essay should focus on two parallel (very similar) examples/stories in the body section that allow you to explain a pattern of human behavior. The essay must go beyond fact and include your opinion. The essay should explain the cause-effect sequence you observe in both examples by answering focused and relevant how and why questions. The essay must demonstrate in the introduction, body section, and conclusion your ability to classify/categorize.

• The analytic thesis should answer:
1. How and why does a specific type of person react step by step in a specific type of situation?
2. What idea or concept does the reaction represent?
• The statement of relevance should answer the question: What is important to consider about this type of situation or this type of reaction?
• Additionally, your introduction should include an opening image and brief discussion of contextual information.
• In your body section, present multiple connected examples and demonstrate your ability to describe and narrate. The examples should support and illustrate your thesis. Warrant statements should be included.
• Your conclusion should include a prediction based on the analytic thesis, an explanation of relevance based on the statement of relevance, and, if appropriate, a connection to a different or larger context.
• At some point in the essay, you should include an analogy, metaphor, or simile.
• Fact or opinion from one source should be included in the essay.
• Include a Works Cited page and parenthetical in-text citations, formatted according to MLA guidelines.

You are to write a 900-1000 word essay exploring a theme that connects ONE of the following pairs of stories: “Seasons of Glass and Iron” by Amal El-Mohtar and “Vīs Dēlendī” by Marie Brennan

Purpose of the Assignment: This is the culmination of your course, and now it is time to take two separate works and put them into conversation with one another. This is not a comparison and contrast paper. Instead, you are to create a thesis and talk about how each work addresses the thesis. I’ve grouped the works with similar topics to help you generate a thesis on your own.
Overview: You are to write a 900-1000 word essay exploring a theme that connects ONE of the following pairs of stories:

“Seasons of Glass and Iron” by Amal El-Mohtar and “Vīs Dēlendī” by Marie Brennan.
Your thesis should argue that either these two works both share an opinion on a relevant topic, or that they have conflicting opinions on a relevant topic.

Examples of a strong thesis (from other stories we discussed this semester) include:

Both “An Open Letter to the Family” and “The Perils of a Hologram Heart” show that it is essential that we set and live by our own boundaries, even if it causes the loss of those we love. (This thesis argues that both works share an opinion on a relevant topic. Both stories argue that we should live our own lives by our own rules, despite the costs).
While The Matrix, directed by the Wachowski sisters, is hopeful about successful resistance against an oppressive regime, Samuel R. Delaney’s “Driftglass” paints a more hopeless picture where there is no escaping the system that controls us.(This thesis argues that the works have conflicting opinions on a relevant topic. The Matrix is a story about successful resistance, while “Driftglass” provides no possible way for its characters to fight back.)

MC3080: Research Paper Assignment

Pick a topic listed below and answer the guiding questions that accompany them as best you can in no less than 1500 but no more than about 2000 words (that will translate to about 4-5 pages, double-spaced, at 12-point font; if you find yourself going beyond that approximate limit, check in with me).

You will need to cite at least eight sources total, including four academic sources (scholarly books/papers/sites/podcasts, etc.), and at least four decided court cases, following APA format. Going below the word minimum and/or not citing a sufficient and/or correct kind of source will result in grade deductions. I am interested in your thoughtful use of scholarly sources, and in particular the law-review articles.
Your textbook can count as one of your academic sources.
You should have a beginning, middle and end, and make a persuasive case: your arguments should draw on scholarly material to support your claims. If there is a topic that is not listed below that you want to address, please reach out to me to get my approval before proceeding. The goal of the paper is to practice thinking through problems in media law, using the kind of reasoning/arguments you will need in your exams, and, eventually, in your work in the mass-media world. At a more basic level, you will practice thinking about how the First Amendment remains relevant to our society’s challenges and our lives as members of that society. I can provide example “A” papers for this assignment.

List of topics/prompts: (see above if you have questions)
Confidentiality: 1) What protections, if any, do journalists have against giving up their anonymous sources if ordered to do so by a judge via a subpoena? 2) a. What role do “shield laws” have to do with such court orders? b. And with the protection of work products/documentary materials? 3) How has the internet complicated confidentiality?
Free-press/fair-trial issues 1: 1) What famous (or infamous) cases have influenced thinking regarding fair-press/fair trial issues in the United States, and why? 2) How has broadcast technology, including cameras in the courtroom, impacted fair-press/free-trial concerns? 3) How has the rise of cable and now streaming TV and social media impacted traditional judicial remedies for pre-trial (and during-trial) publicity?

i have attached an outline that i want to focus on. be sure to answer each question in the instructions and also use 8 sources, 4 being scholary.
Free-press/fair-trial issues 2: Research/examine an ongoing or a recently concluded (within the past year) criminal or civil trial and highlight 1) the pre-trial publicity of the case, 2) any information you can find about jury selection, 3) continuing or recently deployed judicial remedies used in the trial, and analyze their effectiveness—how do all of the above illustrate tensions between the First and the Sixth Amendment?
Broadcasting: 1) How does the history of broadcasting regulation in the U.S. reflect American approaches to the government’s role in media regulation more generally?[1] 2) What was the Fairness Doctrine, and what happened to it? 3) How does online TV streaming technology impact broadcast regulation?
Obscenity: 1) How has the regulation of “obscene” speech changed over time? 2) What is the current status of obscenity law? 3) How has the internet disrupted ideas/definitions of obscenity?
Copyright: 1) What was the origin of, and continuing impact, of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act? 2) What are the current limits of fair use? 3) How might copyright law continue to change over the next 20-30 years?
Advertising: 1) How has the regulation of media advertising changed since the nineteenth century? 2) What are three current issues or problems with the regulation of advertising?
3) What might be a future issue or problem with the regulation of advertising?
Design-your-own-topic: as long as it relates to a new-media-technology, and media law, in some way (or on a current event, or case, with media-law repercussions, such as a case currently before the Supreme Court or how coronavirus is impacting access to meetings/trials, etc.), I am very open to a topic of your choosing. Send me a list of 2-3 questions, too, and I will send further feedback as needed. Note: If you pick this option, you need a final approval from me before proceeding.

Personality reflection

For your final exam, you are asked to write a personality reflection on a person you know well. It could be a family member, friend, roommate, coworker, or even yourself. You should focus on specific traits or subtraits when explaining your/their behaviors. You may also focus on the different theories of personality we have discussed in class. The papers should be in APA format (12-point, double-spaced, Times New Roman Font) and should include a title page and reference section in addition to your three to five pages of reflection. An abstract is optional. You should cite a minimum of three sources in your paper. You may cite your textbook, but this will not count as one of your three sources. Final papers should be uploaded to Moodle by 10:00 am on Thursday, May 5th.

Critical Book Review

THE ONE SOURCE IS THIS BOOK
HEIRS TO FORGOTTEN KINGDOMS: JOURNEYS INTO THE DISAPPEARING RELIGIONS OF THE MIDDLE EAST.
BY GERARD RUSSELL.

Title the first part of your paper Summary. Summarize the book in two pages. A summary is a condensed version of a longer work – your ideas and interpretations do not belong in the summary. Analysis and evaluation will come later in the book review. The first step to writing a good summary is to read carefully the book that you are to summarize. Highlight key ideas, people, and events, and identify the author’s thesis. Make notes. After you have done this, you are ready to write your summary of the book.
a. Early in the introductory paragraph, include the author’s name, the title of the book (italicized), and the date of publication. State the author’s thesis with a strong verb like “argues” or “maintains.” Underline the sentence containing the statement of the author’s thesis.
b. The body paragraphs of your summary should include the author’s main points and necessary explanation in the order in which they appear in the book. You are summarizing a book, so do not provide a chapter-by-chapter summary; however, the chapter headings may be useful in helping you to identify the author’s main points.

Title the second part of your paper Analysis. In another four to five pages you will analyze and evaluate the book. In the summary, you identified the author’s thesis or controlling idea and his/her main points. Now you will proceed to analyze and evaluate what the author has said. Underline the sentence in the introductory paragraph of the analysis section in which you state your closed thesis in your evaluation of the book. Your thesis and your analysis must focus on the historical, not literary, aspects of the book.

You will find an information sheet on thesis statement development in Content>Writing Resources.

You should look at:
Organization- How is the book structured – chronologically, thematically, or some combination of the two? How does the author support his/her thesis?

What are some significant assumptions of the author?
Logic – In developing his/her thesis, how does the author use sources to support his/her assertions?
Audience – For what audience did the author write the book? What techniques does the author use to engage the reader?
Language – Word choice, tone, and complexity.
b. You must read at least two reviews of the book. One must be in a scholarly journal; the other may be in a scholarly journal or a major newspaper. Include a discussion of the viewpoints of the reviewers in your analysis of the book in section d below along with your analysis of the book. If you do not know how to find reviews, a reference librarian can help you. You should check to ensure that you are able to find the two reviews after selecting your book to avoid a last-minute panic. Attach copies of the reviews to your book review.
c. You must comment on the sources the author used, i.e., primary or secondary in your analysis in section d below. What are the sources—letters, government documents, memoirs, archeological, etc.? Do the sources support the thesis? Are they clearly identified?
d. Finally, at least two-thirds of the analysis section will evaluate the historical arguments and ideas. What contributes to the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the book? What is the author’s perspective? Why did the author write the book? Be sure that you draw conclusions from your analysis as you end your review.

How did Winston Churchill’s view of the Soviet Union in his speech The Iron Curtain (pp. 452-453) compare to Nikita Khrushchev’s opinion of the West in his Report to the Twentieth Party Congress (pp. 453-456)?

Please write a three to four page essay (around 900-1200 words), answering one of the questions below. In order to do well on this assignment you will need to use primary sources in our reader, Sources of the Western Tradition, as evidence for your argument. You will also need to acquaint yourself with the relevant secondary sources (i.e. lectures and the editor’s comments in Sources of the Western Tradition or my own comments for the readings) so that you better understand the context of the primary sources.*
