Argumentative Research Paper

INSTRUCTIONS
Topic: Argumentative Research Paper
Identify a problem that is occurring in your city, workplace, or neighborhood. What is your connection to the problem? How does it impact your family and you or your coworkers and you?  How does it impact the broader community and who does it tend to impact the most? What are some possible solutions to the problem that you might research and write about?

Identify a problem that is occurring in your state or profession/industry. Make sure your reader knows where the issue is located. For instance, if you are writing about an industry, identify the industry. What is your connection to the problem? How does it impact your state or profession/industry, and who does it tend to impact the most?

Kenneth Burke writes: Imagine that you enter a parlor. You come late. When you arrive, others have long preceded you, and they are engaged in a heated discussion, a discussion too heated for them to pause and tell you exactly what it is about. In fact, the discussion had already begun long before any of them got there, so that no one present is qualified to retrace for you all the steps that had gone before. You listen for a while, until you decide that you have caught the tenor of the argument; then you put in your oar. Someone answers; you answer him; another comes to your defense; another aligns himself against you, to either the embarrassment or gratification of your opponent, depending upon the quality of your ally’s assistance. However, the discussion is interminable. The hour grows late, you must depart. And you do depart, with the discussion still vigorously in progress.

Identify and explain a moment in life or work where you entered into a Burkian conversation that might form the basis for an academic persuasive essay. Who was the conversation with, a family member or coworker, for instance, and what prompted you to get involved in the discussion? Based on the discussion you had, what remains of interest to you about the topic? What do you want to learn more about? As you research, where do you want your oars to take you? What is your interest in the topic, personal, academic, or social, and what are some arguments that you might make about the topic?

Guidelines
Argumentative research paper supporting your solution or argument. Keep in mind, your goal as a writer is to defend your claim through scholarly research and convince your reader that your solution or argument is a logical and supported one.

Stakeholder Analysis

Instructions for Susan Bond
Client:
Your client is Susan Bond who currently works for Empire Globe; it is not Empire Globe itself. That may or may not be significant to your analysis.

Deliverables:
Please prepare and submit the following for Susan to consider:

A Stakeholder Analysis – any style you wish – that will help sort out the importance of stakeholders and how their influence/opinions/reactions might impact the decisions.
An analysis of the situation using any organizing framework you think will be most useful. You can use a model introduced in class or find one outside if you wish.

Must contain:
1.Stakeholder Diagrams
2.Organizing Frameworks in an abstract Situation (ethical decision making)
3.Visual Presentation – hoping for at least 1 extra layer of information beyond the baseline.

Global Homework Instructions:
1. This assignment (and all others from now on) must be done using Powerpoint or a similar program that will produce the graphical images. I greatly prefer you use Powerpoint since I know what it can and can’t do and I have adapted the assignments for those limitations, but you can use something else if you want to be adventurous. Turn in the assignments as slides in a Powerpoint file or save the document to .pdf if you are using another format. One file with multiple slides is fine.  All information relevant to each slide should fit on that slide, no notes or explanations elsewhere. Most weekly assignments will require only 2 or 3 slides, and it’s not necessary to include a title slide unless you want to. Please, however, put your name and the date in very small font in either the header or footer of each slide.

2. All graphics for these slides (except for clipart) must be created by you from scratch every time. The SmartArt function in Powerpoint is your friend here. You can mimic formats that you have seen elsewhere, but you must recreate them yourself for assignments for this class. The point of these assignments is allowing you to think about the visual choices you are making, not just using something designed by someone else. You can use any clipart or photos you want however to augment your framework. You have full artistic license when creating your graphics, just try to be purposeful in amplifying your content.

General Rules for an “A” Paper (check your paper against this list)

    1,000 words

    Original work; plagiarism score of less than 10% (90% original work)

    Double-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins

    Covers all 6 tasks

    Spellchecked

    College-level grammar

    Cite your article APA style (author & year within body of paper; full reference at end)

    No abstract, no cover

    Place your name and reference number on the first page. Use page numbers.

Submit the paper by the deadline in the Schedule and also in the Calendar. The box will open at the beginning of the semester so that you have time to submit your paper, review the originality report, and resubmit your paper if necessary until you have a plagiarism score of under 10%. Be sure to use the Turnitin Grammar Checker to ensure that your paper is well written and ensure that you have spellchecked everything. If you resubmit your paper, note that it takes 24 hours for your new score to show up in the Turnitin Drop Box.

Submission to Turnitin Drop Box

The Turnitin Drop Box is in Blackboard. You do NOT have to go to Turnitin to submit your paper. Turnitin is a plagiarism checking software. It checks to see if your work is original. I have set the Turnitin Drop Box so you can submit your paper as many times as you want until the due date. That will allow you to check your plagiarism score and see where your work is not original. You can then rephrase that section and put it into your own words. The expectation in this course is that your paper scores no more than 10% in plagiarism (90% original work). You will be able to resubmit your paper as many times as you need to in order to get it right until the Due Date. You will NOT be able to resubmit after the Due Date. Note that it takes 24 hours to see your new plagiarism score after resubmission. No more than 2 or 3 quotes in the entire paper, please.

Avoiding Plagiarism

You must be careful not to copy someone else’s ideas and not to copy and paste ideas from the sources you find. Copying and pasting from someone else’s work is considered plagiarism. You may use other people’s ideas, but you have to put them in your own words and reference the source. Putting things in your own words is called “paraphrasing.” And you must put the reference right after the idea. Needless to say, submitting plagiarized papers, including those copied from one of the Web sites that have “free” papers or even papers you can buy, will result in a penalty. That penalty in this course is that your grade will be reduced by the percentage of plagiarism over 10%. In other words, the less plagiarism, the higher your score; the more plagiarism, the lower your score. The paper is worth 10% of your grade in this course. Don’t risk it!

APA Style and References

One thing you will need to do in college is learn how to find and use references. References support your ideas. College-level work must be supported by research. You are expected to do that for this paper. You will research, locate, and use one reputable source from the literature on the topic of epigenetics/epigenesis. The “literature” is composed of studies that have been conducted in a scholarly way to support ideas. Scholarly sources can be found in journals or in some Web sites, especially those that come from .edu domains (.edu is short for “educational” Web sites) or .gov domains (.gov are government sites). The College Libraries have dozens of good journals you can use. You will be using the College Library for this paper. You may do the research in person or use the Web to access our library. See your librarian for more information on finding credible sources.

In APA style, you cite a source in two places: within the body of the paper where you use the idea or words of the author of the paper; and again in the Reference List at the end of the paper. For example, you might say, “According to Researcher A (2011)…epigenetics is…” What you must do is supply the researcher’s name within a sentence or at the end of a sentence in parenthesis (Smith, 2011). Then you give the full information for locating the study in the Reference List. That’s what Reference Lists are for: they allow the person reading your paper to look up your source if they want to. So remember, citing references APA style, requires two things: 1) that you cite the reference within the body of the paper, and 2) that you list the full reference at the end in the Reference List.

APA Tutorial

There are multiple tutorials and other training sources on APA style at the APA Web site. You do NOT have to buy the APA Manual to do this paper.
