Proposal Argument Essay

My Topic: How to Improve Classroom Participation.
Problem: Students don’t participate in class discussions because they are already getting participation points for just showing up to class.
Solution: Give the students extra participation points if they participate in class discussions or ask questions in class.

Write a 1,500-1,750-word proposal using five to seven academic resources. Follow your instructor’s guidance as to whether it should be a policy or a practical proposal and as to the range of topics allowed. The voice and style of your argument should be aimed at your target audience. Remember to not use first person pronouns (I, me, us, we, our, my, mine) or second person pronouns (you, your, yours), unless given permission by your instructor. Your proposal should have the following features:
Identify the problem of why students don’t participate in class.
Persuade the audience that you have selected that this is a problem that needs solving; give it presence.
Propose action offering specific details to show how the actions will help alleviate the problem.
Justify your solution(giving the students extra credit for participating in class) by providing the reasons why your audience should accept your proposal and act on it.

This essay is NOT simply a persuasive essay. It is an argumentative proposal that offers a practical and justifiable solution to a problem.

Practical Proposal Argument
This essay presents a solution to local or immediate problems. Make sure you are not addressing a global problem, as that is too broad and you will not be able to discuss effectively in 1500 words. (All topics should be approved by 3/31)
7th edition APA format must be followed. 5-7 resources are required, and 3 of these resources MUST be peer reviewed journal articles. If you do not meet this requirement, you will lose format points.
Outline for this proposal argument:
Introduction
1. Hook
2. Background – this time it actually will be about your topic!
3. Thesis statement – this MUST be the last sentence of introduction and should follow the model of Who should do what (Who refers to members of the audience who can implement a solution and what is your actual proposed solution. This has to be specific!

Define Problem 1
1. Topic Sentence
2. What is the problem
3. For whom is it a problem? You will want to make sure you explain how this affects your audience. If it is more of an individual problem or does not affect more than a handful of people, it will not be defined effectively as a problem

Define Problem 2
1. Topic Sentence
2. Why should audience care about the problem
3. Why has the problem not been solved.

Propose Solution 1
1. Topic sentence (Simply state what your solution is)
2. Explain ALL the steps necessary to make the solution work

Propose Solution 2
1. Topic sentence
2. Costs associated with the problem. Do not limit this to merely the financial costs associated with making solution work. What other types of costs will be part of the solution?

Justification Positive
1. Topic Sentence
2. Benefits of implementing the solution. Make sure to explain how and why they are beneficial.

Justification Negative
1. Topic Sentence
2. Negative consequences associated with implementing the solution. I would caution stating that there are not any negative consequences. Your audience will be skeptical of this.

Conclusion
1. Re-emphasize main points. No more than 2-3 sentences
2. Call to action. Why should your audience care about this solution?
3. Concluding sentence: reference back to hook.

Crime is at an all-time high in the City of Crimetown, USA. City Officials are determined to reduce crime and have already allocated money for more police officers. They have additional funds and want to allocate a portion to he functions of the unit and why this unit would be the most helpful in solving crime.

Select one (1) specialized unit within a contemporary crime lab and prepare an 8 page paper (content) addressing the functions of the unit, the importance of the particular forensic examinations within the unit, and how the unit will help investigators solve crime. I recommend using real life case examples and statistics to bolster your argument.

What was the typical childhood of a Puritan like and what role did parental expectations/societal influences play in shaping Puritan childhood? How does the Puritan childhood experience differ from childhood in modern times? How do you evaluate the choices Puritan parents and Puritan society made in rearing Puritan children and how are these similar or different to modern times?

What the most important characteristics of childhood were; including what expectations and values shaped the childhood experience of a Puritan and what role parental/expectations/societal influences played. Make sure to address the reasons why Puritan children were raised this way and include discussion of all parenting techniques including the role religion, fear, Puritan law, home structure (including living conditions), and Puritan society played in how a Puritan child was parented and raised.
Do you agree or disagree with the way Puritan parents and the Puritan society reared the Puritan children? What choices did they make in regards to how the child was raised and would you have made the same choice if you were a Puritan; why or why not?
What are the main reasons for the differences in modern child-rearing practices and those of Puritan times? Does our society face the same decisions in rearing children as the Puritan society did; why or why not? You can use specific examples from your childhood or if you are a parent yourself, you can use your own parenting experiences to compare and contrast with the Puritan childhood.

A. In his letter to James Madison on December 20, 1787, Thomas Jefferson wrote: “Let me add that a bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular.” Is that how the Supreme Court interpreted the Constitution in the 19th Century (ie the 1800s)? Please discuss at least three readings/cases across at least three different weeks on the syllabus as evidence to support your answer. [No need to talk about the 20th century in this answer, since that will be covered by the other questions. However, you may refer to 20th century opinions if they bolster your argument about the 19th]. (700-800 words)

cases/pdf
– Miranda v AZ
– Mapp v Oh
– Texas v Johnson
– madison/Jefferson
– alien and sedition
– U.S constitution
– slaughterhouse cases (a good one)
or any other case i provided you think in the files you think good for this question

B. What do Constitutional law scholars mean when they refer to the “Lochner era” and how is it connected to the doctrine of substantive due process? Please discuss at least three cases across at least three different weeks on the syllabus as evidence to support your answer. (700-800 words)

Cases
– Locher v N.Y
– Allgeger v LA
– West Coast hotel vs Parish
-Buchanan v. Warley
– Adkins vs children’s hospital

C. In your opinion, which was the best of the various approaches that Supreme Court justices advocated for incorporating the Bill of Rights and applying it to the states, and why? In answering the question, please clearly explain the different approaches using at least three cases across at least three weeks on the syllabus. (700-800 words)

Cases
– Gitlow v N.Y
– Mcdonald v. Chicago
– Mapp v. Ohio
– Gideon v wainwright
– Powell v Alabama

A few tips:

1. Note: the word range is not a suggestion, it is a requirement. Essays that are shorter than 700 or longer than 800 words will have points deducted.

2. Make sure you answer the question directly and succinctly in the first few sentences, in something akin to a thesis statement. Then move on to presenting evidence to support your argument.

3. Don’t spend too many words explaining the background and facts of the cases. You don’t need to explain the case beyond what is necessary for your argument. You need to conserve your words to have enough to make a really strong argument.

4. It’s totally and completely fine to cite and/or quote dissents to support your argument. Just be clear that the argument you are talking about was not the one that carried the day in that case.

5. When you quote the readings or cite a specific idea from them, you must include the page number in parentheses at the end of the sentence.

6. These questions are designed so that you don’t need to do outside research and can focus on analyzing the readings that we have discussed together in class. If, for some reason you end up doing outside research, you must cite your source fully using a footnote.

7. Please proofread your responses carefully. We do take clarity and organization, as well as spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. into account.

Assessment:

Each question is worth 33 points (x 3 = 99 + one point for writing your name).

We will assign points based on the following rubric.

33: The response is well-written and has a creative and ambitious argument that is made clearly up front and carried through to the end. Makes good use of the course concepts and readings to back that argument up. Shows clear understanding of concepts and readings.

31: The response is well-written and has a solid (but not necessarily ambitious) argument which is sustained throughout the paper. Makes good use of the course concepts and readings to back that argument up, but may have some organizational problems.

29: The response is generally well-written, and has a clear argument by the end, but it not necessarily clear at the beginning. Shows a solid understanding of the majority of key concepts and readings, but does not always make good use of the cases and readings to support the argument.

27: The response demonstrates a pretty good understanding of the cases and concepts, but does not use course material to build a clear argument. It may have an argument at the beginning and/or the end, but not carry that argument through the analysis, OR the argument itself may reveal some confusion about a key concept.

25: Either states an argument but does not build support for the argument using cases and readings from the course, OR does not state a clear argument but seems to reach one by the end. In both cases, discussion may reveal some confusion about a key concept.

23: The response does not state a clear argument, and the analysis of the cases and readings either demonstrates confusion about some concepts, or has problems with presentation, organization, and writing.

21: The paper lacks a clear argument and has some problems with presentation, organization, and writing. It also suggests some misunderstandings of key concepts or readings.

19: The paper has major problems with presentation, organization, and writing, and demonstrates major misunderstandings of key concepts or readings.

We all have opinions. Opinions are not wrong – though at times people like to tell us that our
opinion of something is wrong. Especially on a “hot” topic. The purpose of this assignment is for
to explore some of the opinions you hold surrounding several of today’s hot topics. You will not
be graded on whether or not you picked the right side – rather, on how well you can defend your
position. Remember, you must use hard evidence (i.e., research, statistics, data). Religious texts
can be used to support a position, but it must be used in tandem with hard evidence.

You will have 1 single-spaced page to make your defense (max of 1.25 pages). APA format –
remember to cite your sources! You will need a reference page (see Purdue OWL APA for
guidance on APA).

You must choose a topic from the list below. If you have a topic that you would like to write
about, please see Sam for approval prior to writing your paper. You will find a description of the
topic in italics below.

Instructions:
1. Give an overview of the topic that you are discussing
2. Briefly discuss the opposing view (the side you aren’t taking) – discuss their viewpoint
since it is good to know both sides
3. Discuss your view in detail – bring in at least 2 peer-reviewed sources (journal articles,
books, etc. – no Wikipedia or opinion pages. Remember you need data!).
Grading:
Description Points
Overview of topic to be discussed (2-4 sentences) 5
Opposing view (4-6 sentences, good to include data here) 5
Your view (10+ sentences – include empirical sources, also good to discuss
why you disagree with the opposing view) 25
At least 2 empirical sources & reference page 10
Grammar, spelling, APA 5

Topics to Choose From:
1. Pornography: Empowering or degrading?
Is pornography empowering to women or does it demean them into more subservient
roles that cannot function without a man?
2. BDSM kink: Teaching men to assault women? Or partners subservient to the other?
BDSM is the erotic practice or roleplaying that involves types of bondage, dominance
and submission, discipline, sadism, and masochism. Some instances are mild in which
someone may just be handcuffed or tied up. Other instances are more extreme – involving
inflicting/receiving physical pain. For individuals who are interested in BDSM activities,
is it teaching men that it is okay to assault women? Or vice versa? For same sex couples,
is it possibly teaching one partner to be subservient to the other?
3. Transgender bathroom rights
Should transgender individuals have the right to use the bathroom of their choice? Or
should they be forced to use the bathroom aligned with their genitals?
4. Should individuals with Intellectual and Development Disabilities (IDD) be able to
engage in sexual behaviors?
Individuals with IDD typically are not permitted to engage in any kind of sexual behavior
because they are told they do not have the mental capacity to full comprehend what they
are about to engage in. However, they are developing human beings so they feel the same
urges we do. Should they be allowed to engage in sexual behaviors like we do?
5. At what age should transgender individuals be allowed to transition? When is it too soon?
As our world becomes more accepting of diverse populations of people (and that people
are able to access more information sooner), we are seeing more and more children and
adolescents identifying as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. One of the hardest
questions to ask though, is when is it too soon for transgender individuals to transition?
Should adolescents be allowed to transition or should they wait until they are legally able
to make that decision on their own (age 18)?
6. Transgender Athletes: Should they be allowed to compete?
Recently, we have seen a lot of allegations against transgender women competing in
sports – many claiming it is unfair. Biologically, we know that men are just a bit stronger
than women. Despite undergoing reassignment surgery and hormone therapies,
transgender women are still being berated for competing in their gender classes. Should
transgender athletes be allowed to compete in their gender classes? Or should there be
an alternative?
7. Should we legalize sex work?
Currently, it is illegal in the United States to engage in sex work (a.k.a. prostitution).
Those in favor of decriminalization say that it will promote health and human rights of
sex workers, their families, and their communities. Those who oppose it say human
trafficking, pimping, and other similar crimes will increase. Which side do you choose?
8. Should we still be pushing for abstaining from sex before marriage?
Whether or not to engage in sex before marriage is a personal choice. Founded in
religious beliefs and morals, society has pushed abstention. However, in recently, it
seems as if everyone is having sex whenever they want. Some have sex with those they
will marry, while others engage in one-night stands. With a society that may not place as
much value on sex, should we still push abstaining from sex before marriage?
9. Should LGBTQ+ members be allowed to donate blood and organs?
Most people are not aware that LGBTQ+ members are not allowed to donate blood and
organs due to living what is known as a “high-risk lifestyle.” Some of this comes from the
stigma that HIV is a LGBTQ+ disease, and not one that affects all sexual orientations.
Even though all blood and organs are tested for diseases prior to transfusion or
transplantation, LGBTQ+ members are still denied the ability to donate. Weighing all
the options, should LGBTQ+ individuals be allowed to donate blood and organs?
10. Are child beauty pageants sexualizing children?
We have all seen a beauty pageant – whether in person or on television. They can be
highly sexualized affairs (I mean come on, it’s in the title). Over the years, child beauty
pageants have become more popular, especially with shows like Toddlers and Tiaras. In
these pageants, children undergo the same (or similar) activities that someone in an
older beauty pageant would participate in. So are beauty pageants sexualizing children?
11. How inclusive should we be?
Inclusion is a great thing! Everyone deserves the same chance to succeed in this world.
But are there instances in which we have gone too far? Should there be a limit on how
inclusive we should be? Or should we be even more inclusive?
12. Should there be a Pride Parade for heterosexuals?
June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month. This month is to remember the riots that started at
Stonewall Inn in New York City between June 28 and July 3, 1969, as well as celebrate
the inclusion of LGBTQ+ culture into the mainstream culture. While allies
(heterosexuals who support LGBTQ+ culture) have always been accepted at Pride
events, recent discussions have surfaced focused around celebrating “straight pride.”
Should there be a pride celebration for heterosexuals?
13. Should we force men into fatherhood?
We’ve all heard of a woman’s right to choose about what to do with her body. Every
political season brings up the debate about pro-choice or pro-life. But the one thing we
never hear about is a father’s right to choose. In non-committal relationships (aka a one-
night stand or casual fling), should a man be forced to pay child support for a child that
he may not want (if the woman chooses to carry the child to full term)? Or what about if
the woman chooses to terminate the pregnancy, but the father wants the child – should
the woman be “forced” to carry the child to term for the father?
14. Should same-sex couples be allowed to adopt children?
Much like abortion, this topic seems to make the political rounds each election cycle.
Within the last few years, we have seen states pass legislation allowing adoption agencies
to refuse placing children with same-sex couples because they may believe homosexuality
is morally wrong. Weighing all the options, should same-sex couples be allowed to adopt
and/or raise children?
