Premium Writing

Before you begin to write the paper, there are some important issues that must be followed for this course. Your APA-style written project will have a Cover Page, an Abstract Page, the Body of the Paper, and a References page. Here are some overall rules that must be followed:
• You may not use any of your class textbooks as reference sources for this research paper. Rather, you are to look up new sources via PsychInfo or PsychArticles or ProQuest Psychology Journals found here on the Iona University website: http://guides.iona.edu/az.php?s=11398
• Your paper must have a minimum of 3 reference sources (minimum of 2 of must come from psychological journals). The preferred types of reference source materials will come from psychological journals.
• Wikipedia, About.com, and similar generic websites may never be used as a reference source. If you have a question about the source, please contact Dr. Theodore.
• The entire paper must be 12 point font, Arial style, double-spaced, with 1 inch borders all around.

The entire Body of the paper is expected to be paraphrased. That is, there will be NO quotes allowed in this paper whatsoever. Every paragraph in the paper’s Body, from the first paragraph to the last paragraph, must be paraphrased and must contain in-text citations (in correct APA format) to let the reader know where you acquired the information that you paraphrased. Personal opinion, and personal reflection, are not to be conveyed in this type of paper. Rather, you are to convey ONLY the findings published by other authors through paraphrasing their work and placing an APA-style in-text citation in each and every paragraph of the Body of your paper to let the reader know where you got the information. Since you are summarizing literature in this literature review, this paper WILL NOT have sections in the Body that resemble a scientific experiment (so, for example, there will be NO separate Methods sections, and NO separate Results section, because you are not writing-up an experiment). You are simply writing a review of the literature that exists on the topic you chose.

NOTE: Do the Abstract page as the very last thing you write for the paper, as it summarizes in 100 to 200 words the entire Body of the Paper. So, once you have written the Body of the paper, you will only then be able to construct the Abstract (summary) of the paper written.

Illustration Essay Draft
Write a two-page essay. Select one aspect of a topic to argue in detail, using specific examples to illustrate your side of the argument. Your essay should avoid opinion and focus on persuading your audience with detailed explanations and factual evidence from at least two reliable sources. Begin your argument by stating a generalization about the topic. Then support that generalization (in the form of a thesis statement) by choosing to write a single-example illustration essay or a multiple-example illustration essay (see Unit V, Lesson 2). The essay should be written in the style and form described within Unit V.
Sample Topic Choices:
Lebron James is the greatest basketball player of all time.
Kenny Rogers is a country music icon.
Major League Baseball should eliminate the use of designated hitters.
Dark chocolate is superior to all other chocolates.

The purpose of this assignment is to measure your mastery of those conventions by putting your knowledge to practice. In a larger context, the purpose of writing an illustration essay is to convey an idea to the reader by providing illustrations (examples) that will provide readers with a clear picture of your stand on a specific topic.
Process: For the illustration essay, you will complete the following steps:
Choose a topic: See the methods for developing a topic and the suggested list of topics in Unit V, Lesso

Stylistic details: All essays must meet the following requirements:
Write in Times New Roman, 12-point font.
Include one-inch margins on all sides.
Use double spacing (top-to-bottom every page, to include above and below titles and centered words).

You have been given $1,000,000 (can be £1,000,000. Your choice) to invest and are tasked with creating a portfolio of between 5 and 10 individual assets. These assets can include fixed income, equity, ETFs, or cash, and must be listed in a publication where they can be tracked and measured. investing in the stocks or ETF listed on the US market due to the “Portfolio optimization tool”.

The portfolio should be monitored, analysed, and reported on. The report should include an analysis of your chosen investments, with detailed reasoning for your selection, taking into account all risk factors involved, and a brief assessment of your expectations. It is important to note that this assessment is based ability to thoughtfully construct and justify a portfolio, and your ability to report and analyse its performance professionally. External research should be conducted, and your answers should be well-explained..

You are asked to develop a 5 – 7 minute oral presentation in which you will impart information you have learned through research about a specific exotic culture. Keep in mind that this class is titled Issues in Literature and Culture – not Geography or History. Your presentation should encompass information about the country’s language(s), foods, clothes, art, music, dance, traditions, morals, values, etc. It is ok to point to the area on a map, but not to expound on the region’s size, terrain, demographics, or historical relevance, UNLESS any of those things relate to or have affected the area’s culture. The same holds true for mentioning historical facts without making the data the focus of your presentation.
Think about what language(s) are spoken there. What are their typical or staple foods? Are there any special holiday celebrations that are noteworthy? Who are its artists, and what type of art is produced? Is there a specific type of dance that originated in the country? What type of music is listened to? How are women and children valued? Is there a major religion/belief? If it’s a region you are covering, don’t just talk about 1 or 2 countries, try to cover a more comprehensive area. Give us a “taste” of the country/region.
Time will be a factor. Be sure your time is organized properly, shouldn’t be too long nor too short. Time seems to always be the aspect that hurts the person the most. The information and how clearly it is delivered is part of the grade.
Make sure to introduce what region/country you’re presenting. A simple mention of what culture you’re going to be talking about is fine, something at least to smooth into the presentation, rather than just a cold jump into the presentation.
You’re welcome to be creative with your presentation. Don’t let the other media speak for YOU! The media is used to enhance your information. If you use a video make sure it’s no longer than 30 seconds; if you want to show something longer then you should mute the volume and talk over the scenes. And, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not read the PowerPoint slides to us. We can read for ourselves. You can refer to the slides and read some of the information on it, but don’t make it your script. If you’re going to read, use note cards or regular paper for your information. Also, don’t forget you have an audience. Look up every so often; try to make the presentation as natural as possible.

PATIENT I went to the emergency department last week, because I was feeling like I was dying from a heart attack, and they did one of those, what do you call it? Ah, an EKG. And it was normal. But I was sweating and I was having trouble like catching my own breath. And my heart was pounding really, really hard. And I, and I just felt like my, my heart was just going to explode out of my chest. It almost felt like, um, like when your… I don’t know, when you’re in the woods. Uh, alone and, and you… you, feel like someone is, is following or, or chasing you. Or something like that. I, I just, I just my heart felt like it was about to leap out of my chest. I… And uh… I don’t know, probably twelve, fifteen minutes went by and, and the feeling just went away. It just passed. But then… the next day, it was the very same thing and I, for no reason at all. Just all of a sudden, I was making coffee and then WAM, that, that, that tightness in my chest came back and I was sweating and my heart was pounding, same exact feeling. Twelve, fifteen minutes, and then it just went it away. It was like… almost it was almost like my mother, I remember she would get the same thing, probably three to four times a week. It’s just sheer panic for no particular reason at all.

Society influences our personality traits and who we are. Using your Sociological Perspective, and the Symbolic Interactionism method (p.16) discuss how both your physical environment (URBS) and your mental environment (CIVITAS) have made you who you are today. Explain this cause/effect relationship, and give specific examples.

Think about the different places/cultures you have been exposed to over your lifetime, and which ones have the greatest influence on who you are today. Think about how your current neighborhood influences who you are in preparation for your final paper. We will discuss further in class.

My neighborhood is composed of a lot of teens/ adults who do nothing honest.
They smoke
They don’t like to work
They steal
They hurt
They are always there “day and nigh”
they know everyone, know me the girl in a hurry always, and always say good morning, good afternoon and good night
When death takes place no big deal because it was somehow expected and it is expected to happen to anyone living in that neighborhood.
The police are always walking around, inspecting without really doing anything meaningfull. I believe in God, and their behavior makes me fear, in the terms of not wanting their behavior to affect mine, making me lose interest in what I value as moral principle. Although studying them while staying away has only one purpose which is, protecting my spiritual health, nevertheless, it affects me in a way that i accurates to explain, but I can give details of the way it makes me behave, and think, and feel. Such, I struggle with social anxiety, Struggle to trust people I meet in any neighborhood I meet that looks like mine. I’m always scared, sometimes I get scared of everyone, and always forget to explain to my therapist because I don’t know how to explain that without looking like someone who is judgy when I’m just afraid of being the next victim of a community, my community in my neighborhood who will not like you doesn’t matter. Since they never hesitate to betray, take down their own friends for no reason. Then, they will be the first ones calling out the police for shooting a black person. Killing people is wrong, doesn’t matter the reason. But I don’t like so many in my community, the hypocrisy. I agree being black in America makes you unsafe, makes you the victim, but i were to draw a conclusion about my neighbor, it would be black people is its own enemy. Saying this makes me feel I’m betraying my community, but this is my observation from what I have noticed through the way, they pretend to have each other’s back as long as one isn’t progressing, trying to get out of a situation.

How does Kuhn explain scientific progress? Do you think his answer is better than the traditional picture of science as progressing by drawing closer to the truth about the way things are? Why or why not? (500 words, 1 in text cite, APA)
