“Severance” and “Exit West” characters and stories writing comparison

Must include close reading/textual analysis.
Prompt: Characters in both Severance and Exit West experience a strong sense of displacement and disruption brought about by the experience of immigration. How do these past experiences of displacement affect the characters’ state of mind, and shape their understandings of their future? Analyze and compare the way that each book considers or represents the ongoing effects of displacement. Make sure to address both thematic and formal elements (e.g. narrative techniques such as flash-forwards or flashbacks) in your analysis.

• Argument: Do you have a debatable thesis—are you making an argument about the
text(s)? Make sure that you are creating a thesis that delves into the subtext of the
work you are reading. Do not base your thesis on a summary of the plot.

• Analysis: Do you include close readings/textual analysis to support your points?
Remember, you should not only be including quotes from the novel(s) in your essay,
you need to explain how the imagery and/or language used in the passage helps to
illustrate your argument.

Ethical Issues in Employment Law

This assignment deals with Employment Law, but there was no option to select that subject.

Option #1: Ethical Issues in Employment Law
You have just been promoted to the Human Resources Department of a Fortune 500 company. Your director asks each of the HR employees to research an employment law issue and draft a memo that discusses that specific issue. Also, he wants to ensure that each employee has a clear understanding of the issue present. Therefore, you are to include in your memo either a specific case that supports this employment law or utilizes your own experience. This experience can stem from professional or personal situations in the business world as an employee or employer. Lastly, your director wants you to include any ethical issues that your company may be confronting in reference to this employment law. Consider employment law with wages and hours, OSHA, age, disabilities, and minors working.

Be sure that your focus is twofold: first, on an area of employment law and second, on a potential ethical issue within that area of law.

If you have not personally or professionally confronted an issue, consider an issue that could arise within the realm of employment law and describe it or search for a case on the internet.

Address the following in your memo:

Identify and clearly define the relevant law, either defining a legal doctrine, provisions of law, or elements of a specific cause of action.
Compare and contrast the applicable law to the employment law issue you identified.
Apply facts from your situation to the applicable law, doctrine, or cause of action studied.
Clearly summarize lessons learned from the week as they apply to your fact pattern and make links to the readings and/or module.
Include new thoughts or ideas based on the module information—this is your reflection/insight, which logically would flow from each information point presented. (Module readings for reference listed below)
Identify and briefly discuss any related ethical issues.
Your memo should be three to four pages in length, not including the title or references pages. Also, include three credible sources in your memo. Example memo to follow separately.
