Comparative Politics – Are norms and values more important in determining how a given political system looks and functions or are institutions and incentives more important?

Write an essay on the following topic:

Are norms and values more important in determining how a given political system looks
and functions or are institutions and incentives more important? Explain why with
reference to 1-3 concrete examples. Be sure to describe how your choice of explanation

Overall, focus on making a clearly stated and well-supported argument. Be creative and read
widely! Don’t worry about being “right” so much as making your case in a clear, reasoned
manner. Don’t try to do too much or argue too much—stay focused and concise. Good essays must have a clear thesis statement in the
introduction section and a well-organized structure of the body of the essay to support your
argument. Your thoughts and analysis are important, not summarization of the readings. Essays
should use good grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Please use English-language spellcheck.

Community Organisation, Sustainability And Development

1. A report of approximately 3,000 words. This will take the form of an extended Case
Study about a selected Social Purpose Organisation. Workshops and seminars will help
to create a framework for analysing and presenting these case studies. It is intended that
the student will contribute to the production of this framework using the input provided by
tutors through the formal taught sessions and as a direct result of their wider reading and
research on this topic. This case study has 3 sections (which will each be separately
graded)
– Part 1 – A description of the organisation itself [30%]
– Part 2 – An analysis of the work (impactful activity) of the organisation [30%]
– Part 3 – Critical Reflection on the Management issues encountered within this
case and the impact on global social issues (e.g. addressing climate emergency,
COVID or one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals) [30%]
– References and quality of evidence sources [10%]

2. A report of approximately 2,000 words will accompany this which will report on the
experience of researching this organisation and the management lessons learnt from
this.
Full assessment details are available in Appendix 2.

“Quiet American Imperialism : Euro-American masculinity, interracial desire, and the logic of masculinist protection in The Quiet American”

It is for a History course, Decolonization: History through film. The main source for the paper is based on the film
‘The Quiet American’ from 2002 directed by Phillip Noyce. We have been directed to watch this film and then choose something of
interest to investigate further – related to the history of southeast Asia and the Vietnam war, but we are able to take the paper in a
further direction/research of our choice. I want the paper to pick up on the fetishization and objectification of Asian women
(main character, Phuong) that is present and in the film, and bring it to a contemporary conversation of this topic.

The paper must have 6 sources, 5 can be sourced from anywhere, 1 must be from the following list and incorporated somehow:
Read “The Cold War, Local Collaborators, and the Slowing Pace of Change,” pp. 26-29
Read and analyse Document #3 – Ho Chi Minh (September 2, 1945), Declaration of Independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
Read and analyse Document #4 – An Appeal of the Vietnamese Bishops in Favor of the Independence of Their Country, September 23, 1945.
Read and analyze Document #8 – First Afro-Asian Conference (April 24, 1955), Final Communique.
Read and analyze Document #9 – Richard Wright (1956), The Color Curtain: A Report on the Bandung Conference.

Addressing Stress Disorders in Service Users

Scenario:You are working for the housing services department for your county. On Sunday there was a fire in a public housing apartment building.

Bobbie Ann Mason’s “Shiloh”

Analysis of the short story, four full pages of analytical writing plus a “Works Cited” page (five pages total)

Cooke, Stewart J. “Mason’s Shiloh.” Explicator 51.3 (1993):
196-201. EBSCO/Academic Search Elite. Web. 16 June 2014. (2 quotes/citation from this source)

The central question upon which to concentrate is how and why the Moffit’s marriage changes so radically when Leroy is no longer
working and is at home full-time.

▪ Some ideas that may help form your argument are to consider if the marriage
was, in the first place, rooted in a strong foundation and how Leroy’s (former)
frequent absences as a truck driver might have, ironically, been one of the
only things that kept the marriage alive. Your aim is to present a thesis
argument that is connected to and supported throughout the essay.

Title
Give your paper a title that is not “Essay One” or “Shiloh” (Get creative!)

Introduction/thesis paragraph
Use the opening paragraph to invite your readers into the work of the paper. You might consider presenting a metaphor, an analogy, or a quote from the story that will aid in introducing the reader to your ideas. The thesis argument for this short essay should appear at the end of the introduction paragraph (usually the first or second paragraph of the paper). You must take a position so your reader knows what the paper will analyze and discuss.

Body paragraphs
The body of the paper must present and analyze evidence, in the form of quotes and your own thinking/analysis. Quotes will come from the story and the two academic journal articles listed on the first page of this assignment. Strong papers will contain clear topic sentences, quotes from all three sources throughout, a thorough explanation/exploration of the quotes, and consistent links between body paragraphs and your thesis argument. Keep in mind that simply providing quotes without exploration is not analysis; you need to “unpack” the evidence and consider how it supports your thesis argument. Use They Say/I Say for assistance with all aspects of this essay! Do not waste space discussing material that isn’t pertinent to supporting your thesis argument; assume your readers are already knowledgeable about the story’s plot and do not simply write a summary of the plot and action. Modern Language Style (MLA) > Also consult the brief guide on the last page of this assignment and our “Writing Aid” module. We will use a writing citation style called Modern Language Association, or MLA style. Many of you probably have some practice with APA, which is the usual style used in the social sciences. MLA is used in the fields of composition, literature, and sometimes the humanities. Think of MLA style as thus: it is simply the way in which you inform your readers where your information comes from and how they may find it themselves. The sample paper for this assignment contains examples of how to quote in MLA style, so pay close attention to how quotes are handled. And keep in mind … following MLA style is not some great intellectual and critical thinking feat – it’s simply familiarizing yourself with the style’s vocabulary then using our resources to follow the style’s rules (but still feel free to perform great intellectual
feats!)

Conclusion
The paper’s conclusion will “wrap up” your thinking. Tell your readers what has been
covered in the paper and allude back to the thesis argument (without just repeating the
argument). This is your chance to showcase your thinking that has occurred throughout
the paper and leave your readers with a strong final impression of your smart work!
