Conduct academic research drawing from multiple sources in multiple media.

The research paper will be the culmination of everything you have worked on in the last three writing projects. Building from the conclusion of your literary review, you will write a thesis-based argumentative paper that draws upon the evidence you have found during your research. Your paper will begin with an introduction that presents an overview for your audience of what discourse are responding to in your argument and how you will use evidence to back up this response. Your body paragraphs will analyze and synthesize your research as support for your thesis. Since this is a longer paper, balancing summary and background information with proper analysis and acknowledgment of the scholarly conversation is going to be crucial. A key component of participating in academic discourse through this piece will be incorporating and rebutting a counterargument. You must also pay special care to the rhetorical considerations of the paper, such as your audience of academics and educated readers concerned with music and contemporary social issues.
An excellent research paper will:
● Follow a clear organizational structure centered on a strong, concise thesis statement
● Integrate sources and research into your argument
● Respond to a broader conversation about your topic as represented in your sources
● Display an awareness of your audience and rhetorical situation
● Follow proper MLA formatting
● Use an academic style and tone effectively in addition to your own voice

Paper #3. “My Sociological
Life” Application and Analysis Paper (Socioautobiography): The purpose of this assignment is to
encourage you to think sociologically about your life. A “socio-autobiography” is a story about you
that focuses on how your interactions with society have shaped you to be the
person you are.
The
paper should be 2 – 3 full pages (no more
than 3); the assignment page limit requirements are not flexible; it is
important that you avoid excessive wordiness, redundant sentences and phrases.
Do not repeat the same thing a different way.

Follow
APA, 6th edition guidelines. Correctly format per APA, 6th
edition guidelines the cover page, (there
is no abstract for the reflection paper) in-text citations
and References page. Use Times New Roman, 12-point font, double spaced (including references on the Reference page).
Do not use contractions, spell both words.

This paper is a comprehensive
assignment incorporating issues discussed throughout the course. You will be
analyzing, applying, and synthesizing different topics/ issues that were
covered in the lectures and textbook to your life. The assignment will involve
incorporating application (terms, concepts, theories, and data from class
lecture and the textbook), analysis (from a sociological standpoint; describe,
explain, and predict the outcomes), and synthesis (bring related issues
together; show the cause and effect patterns) to your personal life
experience. Correctly use a minimum of three
sociological concepts covered in the weekly readings.
An example: consider whether racial tension in your
society shaped how you view people who are different from you or whether a
community value of hard work in your neighborhood helped shape your attitude
towards academics.

What have been the main issues that have made the demonstration of our organisational impact on society challenging and what is the strength of the evidence to indicate that the organisation has had an impact on civil society and public affairs?

This assignment requires students to develop their role as a Policy and Evaluation Advisor by writing an extended policy and practice report on the work and context of the organisation that you chose for assignment 1.
Students should regard the target audience for the report to be the Corporate Management Team (CMT) of their chosen civil society organisation. The scenario is that you have been tasked with undertaking an improvement project given that CMT are being asked difficult questions about what evidence there is that the organisation makes a contribution to civil society and public affairs. CMT have requested that you make this project a major aspect of your work programme. Your task is to address the following question:
What have been the main issues that have made the demonstration of our organisational impact on society challenging and what is the strength of the evidence to indicate that the organisation has had an impact on civil society and public affairs?

During this course, you have developed
a purpose statement and a
corresponding research question,
evaluated quantitative and qualitative research
studies, identified a research
design that you could use to address your research question, and
