What is your argument essay topic?
SOURCES ARE NOT COUNTED IN 1400 WORDS
ANSWER ME IN 2 DAYS: What is your argument essay topic? Why did you choose this topic? Your journal entry should be one paragraph in length (7-10 sentences). All journal entries should follow MLA formatting.
Your final essay in this course will be an argument essay. The purpose of any given argument is to convince others that your point of view is the best point of view. A developed argument essay requires significant work and time, so choosing a topic in which you’re interested is very important. For your final essay, you will take a position on a topic (choose from the list below). Your job is to provide facts, evidence, statistics, and examples to support your position. This essay will follow the above guidelines for written assignments in this class, and will be 1400-1500 words in length with a works cited page of 5 sources. Your essay should include the following:
Introduction (introduce your topic including your thesis statement)
Body (provide evidence to support your claim, including a topic sentence for each paragraph)
Conclusion (summarize and end the essay)
Topics
Here are some sample topics that have been used in the past. You do not have to use these, they are only examples: (See Canvas for additional topics)
Paying College Athletes (they should or should not be paid)
Open carry on college campuses (it should or should not be allowed)
Drinking age (should be lowered or remain the same)
Smoking in restaurants (should or should not be banned)
Random drug testing for baseball players (either they should or should not be tested)
Vaccinations (either kids should or should not be vaccinated)
Gun Control
Additional student parking should be added to the Southeast Campus.
Homeschooling is a more effective approach to learning.
Topics that are banned for this essay include the following:
Abortion
Death Penalty
Sexuality (transgender, same sex, etc)
Politics
Religion
Euthanasia
These topics cannot be argued because they are based on personal emotions and moral values.
EXAMPLES ARE ATTACHED BELOW.
examine two plays, Fences by August Wilsonband A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, in relation to the idea of the “American Dream” (as James Truslow Adams) first step should be to understand the characters’ explicit or implicit understanding of and relationship to the “American Dream” and how those differences cause conflicts in the plays, or you might say

something about how the dramatists (Wilson and Hansberry) examine the ways that the “American Dream” is “deferred” for
black Americans in the 1950s.
Explain “what you were going for” in your poem and WHY you decided to present it the way you did.
Over the semester, you have explored the concept of “community” as it is represented in research, on film, and in the minds of those who live, work, and go to school in the cities, towns, neighborhoods, and sub-groups in the Volusia-Flagler area. For this assignment, you are challenged to expand your view and represent your entire generation and its place(s) in the community of your choice—as well as the problem(s) that plague it (such as homelessness, poverty, drug abuse, apathy, racism, etc.)—in an epic (very long) poem in free verse, a la Allen Ginsberg’s Howl. In addition, the poem should be followed by an analysis that explains in detail your original poem: What is there? How is it presented? WHY is it presented that way?
Your poem should be inspired by (but does not necessarily have to “match,” exactly, line by line) Howl, which is considered the symbol of The Beat generation / members of the Counterculture Movement of the 1950’s and 1960’s. The only requirement here is that your first line must begin with “I saw the best minds of my generation . . .” The rest is up to you, but you should not use rhyme in this poem. Think imagery. Think local color. Think word choice. Think allusion. Think you and your “peeps.”
The last two pages of the paper should be an analysis that explains “what you were going for” in your poem and WHY you decided to present it the way you did. For instance, although Ginsberg provides hints, he never explains in the poem who Carl Solomon is. If Ginsberg were in our class, he would be required to explain who Carl Solomon was and WHY he dedicated his text to him, as well as WHY he chose to feature an ancient Canaanite god in the middle of post-World- War-II America. In your explanation / analysis, you should refer to the research you have conducted and the texts we have covered this semester—and even this year—in Quanta. For example, several of you have noted how Nietzsche, Ayad Akhtar, etc. inspired you to think of yourself (and now, perhaps, your generation) in a new way. If so, quote and cite these writers in APA format, which means you must include a References page at the end of your paper. Unlike in MLA, APA requires you to list those references that influenced or informed your choices—even though you may not have actually quoted them, directly, in your paper. Your analysis should talk about your sources, too, and WHY / how they helped you craft your poem.
Explain why the actual experiment does not need to be completed but the data requested should be fairly realistic.

Read each case study below and write an essay to your supervisor describing your diagnosis and treatment plan for each patient.

What is your treatment plan? Describe this treatment(s), according to the text. Why did you choose this treatment plan? (Make sure to reference the textbook). *See Chapter 16
Please write your essay as if you are writing to your supervisor and explaining the diagnosis and treatment plan of each of these patients. For each choice you have made, you must defend yourself by referencing the case and the text. Your essay should include…
Paragraph 1: Introduction (Briefly introduce the three cases (mention the patients by name) and what you plan to discuss).

I expect details and examples from the cases and the text. Please elaborate and show me that you understand your patient, the diagnosis, and the treatment well.
Case 1 – Morris
Morris has been referred to you for psychotherapy following a suicide attempt. When you interview him he is very teary. He speaks slowly and looks down at the ground as he speaks. He reports difficulty in falling asleep and staying asleep for the past month. Morris states that he hasn’t had much of an appetite and has lost 15 pounds. He reports that things he used to like just don’t seem enjoyable anymore, and he thinks that life is not worth living. Morris doesn’t expect things to improve in the future, which is why he tried to kill himself.
Case 2 – Jack
Jack graduated from high school and got a job working in a video store. After working for about 6 months Jack began to hear voices that told him he was no good. He also began to believe that his boss was planting small video cameras in the returned tapes to catch him making mistakes. Jack became increasingly agitated at work, particularly during busy times, and began “talking strangely” to customers. For example, one customer asked for a tape to be reserved and Jack indicated that that tape may not be available because it had “surveillance photos of him that were being reviewed by the CIA”. After about a year Jack quit his job one night, yelling at his boss that he couldn’t take the constant abuse of being watched by all the TV screens in the store and even in his own home.
Case 3 – Tom
Tom, an 11-year old boy institutes the following ceremonial before going to bed. He did not sleep until he had told his mother every last detail of the events that occurred that day; there must be no scraps of paper or other rubbish on the carpet of the bedroom; the bed must be pushed right to the wall; three chairs must stand by it and the pillows must lie in a particular way. In order to get to sleep, he must first kick out a certain number of times with both legs and then lie on his side.
Reminders…
This is a writing emphasis course which means you are required to successfully write essays throughout the course. As you should have noticed on the syllabus, these writing assignments make up a large percentage of your final grade in this course and it is important to put forth your best effort.
*You are expected to cite all sources you use in these essays and to use APA format. See “APA Guidelines” and “APA Tip Sheet” to understand how to properly cite sources in APA format. You can also use the APA template. These documents are also located in the course files, as well as a sample APA essay.
*Please see the rubric below and make sure you understand PSC’s general writing requirements for writing emphasis courses. Ask me if you have any questions.
I will mark down for formatting, spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. so please pay attention to these aspects of your writing. I highly suggest using the PSC Writing Center for help if you struggled on the first three essays.
