Find the topic sentence in two paragraphs. Explain how these topic sentences relate to the thesis. Remember, a topic sentence is a sentence that gives the primary purpose of that paragraph. Find two paragraphs that have solid topic sentences and explain why they work so well.
Find specific evidence from the paragraphs where you selected the topic sentence and explain how it supports the thesis or proves the point in the topic sentence.
Finally, what could the author have done to make this a more effective article?
Remember to cite the source within your paragraph by either mentioning the author’s name and title (in italics) somewhere in the paragraph OR by using a parenthetical citation at the end.

Worksite Wellness

Many employers offer worksite wellness programs that include opportunities for employees to be physically active or participate in other health promotion programs. In this week’s discussion, please address the following questions:

What are some of the benefits an employer might experience by offering a worksite wellness program? What are some of the benefits to the individual employee?

Many employers offer robust wellness programs and generous incentives to employees who participate. Sadly, the majority of employees do not participate.
Why do you think participation is low and what, if anything, would encourage more employees to engage in wellness programs?

How do you think the pandemic has shifted worksite wellness programming and why?

Canadian Landscape Art and its Historical Significance

Sexual Violence and Assualt Amongst Sex Workers.

An Argumentative Essay
Please follow instructions carefully.

Thesis Statement – In this essay I will argue that because of the criminalization of sex work, sex workers around the world are subject to sexual violence and assault, which violates their inherent right, in the course of their work, and how such violence against sex workers can be reduced by decriminalizing sex work.

Note:
1. Can you research the different regulatory models – models how to regulate sex work.
2. I am opposed to the Nordic Model – The Nordic model is a Feminist model – Decriminalize sex workers themselves but maintain criminal sanction of clients. Which inadvertently targeting and negatively affecting sex workers. This model re-criminalizes sex worker without violating their constitutional rights. Canada and Sweden– Nordic Model – explain why this model is not a good one.
3. My solution to this problem is to decriminalize sex work. And treat sex work as a legitimate industry then all the laws that applies that we already have in place can be applied to sex workers… and theoretically that will regulate the industry.

Please explain the difference between Legalization of Sex Work, and the Decriminalization of Sex Work. In explaining the difference, please use Amsterdam as a country that legalized sex work.

NB. Looking at New Zealand, the country that has come closest to fully Decriminalization of Sex Work, and advocating that Canada does the same.

Sarah Hunt – Indigenous Scholar who is arguing for the decolonization of sex work. Factor this in, in arguing for the decriminalization of sex work.
