Paper #2 Due April 2 at 11:59PM

Your second paper asks that you demonstrate your ability to understand an argument as well as understand how an argument works. You will select to speak about any one of the following essays outlined below. Your task in this essay is to tell me what the essay does and how the essay does it. For example, if we look at the essay of Lee and Grant, we might argue that the essay establishes America as a country of divided opinions as well as one of decency and respect. We might go on to argue that the essay illustrates this idea through the presentation of two drastically different and celebrated heroes of the Civil War. The remainder of my essay might continue to explain how the author drives his point home by using the final meeting of Lee and Grant to show that decency is the hallmark of a great country.

Please notice that although I am speaking about the text of Lee and Grant, I am not simply giving a summary of what the author said. I am explaining the agenda of this piece, and then I am explaining how the author went about presenting that agenda. Please also note that this essay should not be a summary of the text, although you will be required to summarize or quote a point or place in the text or in order to put your reader in context.

Your task for this paper is to select one of the essays below and to write a 2- page paper explaining what the piece does and how it does it. I do not want a research paper. Points will be deducted for research used, nor do I want a plagiarized paper from the Internet. I want your own words and your own thoughts about the what the text does and how it does it. I would like you to maintain a singular focus in your argument and connect your sentences so that they logically build from one another. I would like a mature and thoughtful discussion about what lies beneath the surface of the text.

Your essay must be an argument — not a list of facts — about the text. The point of this essay is to show that you are capable of developing a logical and reasonable argument based on facts and reason. You have been given discussions and examples that focus on how to examine a text. You will ask yourself what argument just the text make, and how the text makes that argument. You will explain the value of the text beyond the words on the page.

Questions to ask yourself:

1. What topic does this text explore?

2. What attitude does the author have about this issue? How does he express his opinion about this topic?

3. What evidence from the text can I use to support my argument?

4. How can I elaborate on this argument? In other words, what do I have to say that it’s important to relevant to this argument, without becoming too self-indulgent and making the text about me? What do I have to add to the topic expressed — not the plot.

* Please remember that I do not want a summary of the text. You might, however, use a summary for your introduction, so you can provide your reader with context before you move to your thesis and your analysis. I want you to explain to me the message that the text communicates and how he communicates that message.

Edition: 14th Edition – Year 2021
Publisher: Cengage
ISBN #: 13-978035730750
Summary
Historical and Social Perspectives
• From the beginning of recorded history, humankind has been concerned about birth control.
• Margaret Sanger opened the first birth control clinics in the United States at a time when it was illegal to provide birth control information and devices.
• Objections to contraception stem from Roman Catholic doctrine and far-right anti-contraception beliefs. However, most church members in the United States approve of and use some kind of artificial contraception.
Sharing Responsibility and Choosing a Birth Control Method
• A man can share contraceptive responsibility with his female partner by getting informed, asking a new partner about birth control, accompanying his partner to her exam, using condoms and/or coital abstinence if the couple chooses, and sharing the expense of the exam and contraceptive method.
• Comparison of convenience, safety, cost, and effectiveness may influence the choice of contraception.
• People who feel guilty, have negative attitudes about sexuality, and do not talk with their partners about contraception are less likely to use contraception effectively than are people who have positive attitudes about sexuality.
Hormone-Based Contraceptives
• Four types of oral contraceptives are available. The constant-dose combination pill contains steady doses of estrogen and progestin. The triphasic pill provides fluctuations of estrogen and progestin levels throughout the menstrual cycle. The extended-cycle pill reduces menstrual cycles to four per year. The progestin-only pill consists of low-dose progestin.
• Advantages of oral contraceptives include high effectiveness and lack of interference with sexual activity. Birth control pills are also associated with lower incidences of uterine, ovarian, and colon cancer. An additional advantage is reduction of menstrual flow and cramps. The advantage of the progestin-only pill is the reduced chance of side effects from estrogen. The vaginal ring (NuvaRing), the transdermal patch (Ortho Evra), and the injectable Depo-Provera are hormone-based contraceptives that do not require remembering to take a pill each day.
• Disadvantages of hormone-based contraceptives include possible side effects such as a slight increase in the likelihood of blood clots, an increase in migraine headaches, nausea, fluid retention, irregular bleeding, and reduced sexual interest. Disadvantages of the progestin-only pill include irregular bleeding and the possibility of additional side effects. In general, the health risks of oral contraceptives are far lower than those from pregnancy and birth.
• Depo-Provera is an injectable contraceptive that lasts for 3 months.
Barrier and Spermicide Methods
• Condoms are available in a variety of styles. Advantages include protection from sexually transmitted infections and availability as a backup method. Disadvantages include interruption of sexual activity if the couple do not incorporate its use into their sex play. A female condom has also been developed.
• Vaginal spermicides (including contraceptive foam, the sponge, vaginal suppositories, creams and jellies, and contraceptive film) are available without a prescription. Advantages of vaginal spermicides include lack of serious side effects and added lubrication. Disadvantages include low level of effectiveness unless used with a condom, possible irritation of genital tissues, and interruption of sexual activity.
• Advantages of cervical barrier methods include lack of side effects, high effectiveness with knowledgeable and consistent use, and possible promotion of vaginal health. Disadvantages include interruption of sexual activity, potential irritation from the spermicidal cream or jelly, and possible misplacement during insertion or intercourse.
Intrauterine Devices
• There is one non-hormonal IUD—ParaGard—and four hormonal IUDs—Mirena, Skyla, Kyleena, and Liletta—currently available in the United States. Advantages of the IUD include uninterrupted sexual interaction and simplicity of use. Disadvantages include the possibilities of increased cramping and spontaneous expulsion. Uterine perforation is rare. The IUD increases risk of pelvic inflammatory disease for women with multiple partners.
Emergency Contraception
• Plan B, oral contraceptives, and the ParaGard IUD can be used for emergency contraception when a woman has had unprotected intercourse.
Fertility Awareness Methods
• Contraceptive methods based on the menstrual cycle—including the calendar, standard days, mucus, basal body temperature, and symptothermal methods—help in planning intercourse to avoid a woman’s fertile period.
Sterilization
• At this time sterilization should be considered permanent. A decision to be sterilized should be carefully evaluated.
• Tubal implant is the sterilization procedure most commonly performed for women. It does not alter a woman’s hormone levels or menstrual cycle or the timing of menopause. There are recent concerns about side-effects that women should carefully consider.
• Vasectomy, the sterilization procedure for men, is not effective for birth control immediately after surgery because sperm remain in the vas deferens above the incision.
Less Reliable Methods
• The withdrawal method and douching are not reliable methods of contraception.
• The lactational amenorrhea method can be used by a woman in the first six months after childbirth if she is breastfeeding and has not restarted menstruation. Backup methods should also be considered.
New Directions in Contraception
• Possible contraceptive methods for males in the future include the use of hormones and nonhormonal methods to reduce the production and motility of sperm.
• Possible future contraceptive methods for females include nonhormonal contraception, variations of the IUD, and new methods for delivering hormones.
