Research paper on tragic heroes

/in /by

Format: essay should be a minimum of 1800 words (note well: the bibliography will not be included in that word count) written in MLA format, which requires 1 inch margins and 12 pt double-spaced Times New Roman Font. Choose 2 of the following characters – Hamlet, Laertes, Antigone, Blanche Dubois, Torvald Helmer, Troy Maxson, Rose Maxson- and argue whether or not they should be considered tragic heroes and why you came to your conclusion. NOTE: You cannot choose to write on two characters from the same play. You must choose characters from different plays. For this paper, you will be required to use five (5) secondary sources that are appropriate for an academic paper to bolster your argument. At least two (2) of those sources must be from a print book. ‘Use’ here means that the secondary sources must be quoted or paraphrased and cited in-text within the essay; sources listed on a bibliography but not cited within the essay will not count towards the research requirements. Remember to INCLUDE a bibliography of your research with your work, either within the same word document as your paper or as a separate attachment. Also remember that the story you’re analyzing is a primary source, and does not count as a secondary source (for the purposes of this paper, anything in your textbook will be considered a primary source and won’t ‘count’ towards your secondary research requirement). N.B.: Sparknotes, Wikipedia, Shmoop, 123helpme, Yahoo Voices, Gradesaver, the Dictionary, etc are not considered appropriate academic sources. If you use them to help brainstorm make sure to cite them on your bibliography, but they will not count towards your 5 required sources.

Your selections are not required to be neighboring states. o Once the list appears based on your selected state (under the matching hospitals menu), click on the arrow icon next to the hospital to add them to the box on the right (“add to report”).

Modern men and women asserting their dignity in the present

/in /by

MIDTERM PAPER ANALYTICAL ESSAY – adduce the proper supporting evidence to substantiate the claims being made. NEEDS TO HAVE A CLEAR ARGUMENT. Prompt: Political theorist Marshall Berman has argued that modernity must be understood as “one process: modern men and women asserting their dignity in the present – even a wretched and oppressive present – and their right to control their future; striving to make a place for themselves in the modern world; a place where they can feel at home”. To what extent do you feel that this characterization of modernity captures various lived experiences of the major political, social, intellectual, and cultural transformations that the Middle East underwent during the long-nineteenth century?” Think about global modernity compared to the readings (I will be providing); discourse from people below (aka peasents, etc.) and ordinary lives and people in the changing empire. I will be providing a lot of source material, not all of it needs to be used. Go through it and see which would be good for this prompt. ONLY use the documents provided as sources. I need this by November 22nd, 7:00am EST.

White Collar Crime and Organized Crime research articles

/in /by

1. Summarize each article in 450 words or more —meaning, no less than 450 words per article summary (summary titles & reference information is not included in the 450-word requirement). You will NOT receive partial credit for partial work. Partial work is a failed requirement. You get zero credit for failed requirements. 2. Each summary should include a discussion of the goal of the article (what the researchers were trying to do find – what are the article hypotheses?), the literature review (past research), the research methods (the steps taken to conduct the research study –data, population, sampling type, statistical techniques – ANOVA, ANCOVA, Logistic regression, etc.), the results (what they found), and the discussion/conclusions of the research article (were the findings consistent with the hypotheses?, why what they found is important to the particular field of study, etc.). It is tremendously important to discuss the policy implications/directions for future research/limitations of each article. It is recommended that you outline each article with all of the components you are responsible for providing (see page 3). 3. All pertinent Journal, Article, & Author information (article title, author name(s), journal name, date, journal volume #, issue #, page #s) must be provided in the REFERENCE page. 4. Each article summary should be well written and in NO way mirror the abstract. This WILL result in severe penalties. In other words, paraphrase—read the article and summarize the information using your own words, do not just copy and paste. 5. Do NOT use any quotes—you must paraphrase the information from each article (use your own words). If you use quotes (even if they are properly cited) you will be severely penalized. 6. You will only need ONE cover page for the entire assignment, with your name, the class name, and the date. 1 7. Each subsequent research article summary should be separated from the last by using the “Insert” and “Page Break” feature provided by your word processor (“Insert” function using Microsoft Word). 8. A “peer reviewed” journal article is not a magazine article. Do NOT get the two confused. A general rule of thumb is that peer-reviewed academic journal articles are usually over 10 pages in length, they do not have pictures/ads (aside from tables), and they all start with an “abstract.” 9. You need to provide a cover page and only use: (a) double-spacing, (b) Times New Roman font, (c) 12 font size, and (d) 1” margins. 10. APA Format is required. 11. I will NOT accept any paper that exceeds 20% replication (this is essentially reserved for references). Be absolutely sure you are paraphrasing. 12. I do NOT want to know your opinion on the research article summaries. This is a research project, not an opinion piece. You will be penalized 25 points on every article that includes your opinion. 13. You are required to submit your paper in WORD (or a word processor) format. Do NOT submit your paper in PDF (or any other non-WORD) format. Failure to meet this requirement will result in a 25-point penalty. 14. There will be a 25-point penalty if you submit the incorrect file. Make sure you are submitting your final product. 15. If you need an extension on your research paper, you must request a research paper extension. There is a 10-point daily penalty for late research papers (2 days maximum). Receiving a research paper extension does NOT preclude a research paper from being penalized, it is simply giving you permission to submit a late paper. If a student does NOT request and/or receive a research paper extension, and they subsequently submit a late research paper, that research paper will NOT be graded, and the student will earn a failing grade. A research paper extension request must be in writing (email will suffice). Being granted a research paper extension request must also be in writing.

Appropriate and inappropriate behavior that we can judge from the outside

/in , /by

Aristotle stressed that virtues led to excellence in human behaviour.

This implies that there is appropriate and inappropriate behaviour that we can judge from the outside, as part of the social context. But implicit in this idea is the perspective that we can understand what life calls for (a sense of purpose), that change is progressive, and that most experiences can be predicted. Do you think that everyday life has a purpose? If so, what is that purpose and how do you know it? If not, what guides your sense of excellence, of better rather than worse in human behaviour? In either case, what do you think are the indicators of virtue that suggest a person is excellent (or on their way to excellence)? Quotation and or paraphrase with explanation from Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics is required for students seeking a top grade.
