Write a well-organized essay of 1000 words on ONE of the topics listed below. The purpose of the essay is to compare the research of two scholars on selected topics. When preparing this essay, begin by deciding whether the similarities or differences between their research dominate. For example, if differences are more significant than the similarities, then much of your essay will be taken up with the contrasts between the two articles. In this case, begin with a discussion of the similarities. You should include all the similarities. Once this is out of the way, you can then get down to the major part of your essay, the different approaches the authors have chosen to take. It is key in this assignment to demonstrate that you have thoroughly and carefully read and understood the articles.

February 15th, 2021 Chicago / Turabian, Law Comments Off on Deconstructing the Documentary Peer Discussion (Blackboard) Deconstructing the Documentary Peer Discussion (Blackboard)
Deconstructing the Documentary Peer Discussion (Blackboard). Documentaries have long been a source of educational entertainment. However, often there is no connection to the literature spanning the academic field. In this activity, your task is to draw connections between the assigned readings and documentary films. Specifically, you will assess the academic worthiness of the documentary by specifically highlighting segments within the film. You will then explain how the documentary connects to our material.
I evaluate your participation by looking at your overall analysis. I am assessing your ability to analyze and critique the documentary. Do not merely summarize the documentary. I should be able to clearly see the analysis of the documentary through an academic lens. If you only summarize the documentary, you have not completed the activity correctly. You need to share with the class if the documentary is accurate, elaborate on the issues presented, and set the documentary to the current literature on the topic. Think of it this way; answer this question Does this documentary help us and if so, how. If a friend was having a difficult time with one of the books, which documentary would you tell them to watch? Your purpose is to write a discussion post explaining why you believe this documentary best stands for a selected book or why it does not. The discussion submission will be at least 350 words.

February 15th, 2021 Chicago / Turabian, Religion / Theology Comments Off on Social Contract Theory and the Revelational Christian Ethic Social Contract Theory and the Revelational Christian Ethic
Your reply must be 500600 words. You will be penalized for falling short or exceeding the word count. Any quotes or information used from sources other than yourself (including your classmates thread) must be cited using footnotes in current Turabian format and will not count towards the total word count.
Within this thread, I will discuss both the Social Contract Theory and the Revelational Christian Ethic. The goal is to define both terms and go in-depth about what is considered the good in each of these. The point I want to pursue, and describe is both the key differences and similarities. I will close my thoughts up with what I feel is the strongest ethical theory.
The Social Contract Theory is an unspoken agreement amongst individuals in a community. Our text says, Social Contract Theory argues that our idea of what is moral is the result of an implicit agreement between the members of a society that facilitates the functioning of that society. Thomas Hobbes spoke about the Social Contract Theory in his book the Leviathan. He says that people are naturally feuding and contesting one another. The U.S. Constitution, in my eyes, is the best-known example of a Social Contract Theory. It sets forth what the government can and cannot do.
The text says that, each society has its own social contract, and that the contract of one society may differ significantly from that of another. Maybe, certain rules in California are unwritten rules that are not relatable to someone who lives in Alaska. Another relatable subject for me is each military service branch has rules and regulations that mirror one another and the wording within each is the same. Even though everyone is serving in the military we frequently see disagreements on how we conduct business, especially within the joint operational environment. It does not expound upon the location of the good in this theory.
The Revelational Christian Ethic can be found predominantly in the Bible. The text says, the best route to a satisfactory ethical system is a reasoned, intelligent study of the bible together with philosophical ethical theory in pursuit. God sent us his son Jesus so that we could learn from his ways. Jesus taught, showed, and revealed the power and wisdom of God while living in our sinful world. His ways and life gave us a living word that is still quite relevant today.
Both theories present various compelling arguments to both believers and non-believers. The faith that I have in my Lord and Savior is great. By no means am I perfect or living without sin in any part of my life. The love God has for us shows through his son. John 3:16 sums that up completely, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. The stronger ethical theory is Revelational Ethical theory. I say this because God has shown me many wonders and everyday miracles, that He has done not only for me but for others.
There are many other reasons I believe Revelational Christian Theory is stronger, one being the Historical truths that I have discovered from reading the Bible. I have seen those truths firsthand. The current world in which we live will continue to have evil in it. There have been multiple false prophets who have come and gone within my current life span. Daily Bible study and devotions will help everyone educate themselves on the meaning as well as the time that the text was written so that it can be put into perspective of where the world currently is. Rules and guidelines can and do work well within certain social areas but that same set of rules may not work well around other societies around the world.

HISTORY
During the mid-18th Century, English colonists appealed to the metropole for redress of various grievances. In this essay, I want you to consider the ethics and civics of the elite members of colonial society seeking change (later known to us as the Patriots). Who were these Patriots? What methods did they use to further their goals through civic engagement? What ethical considerations did they take into account in seeking redress of their grievances? How did they fail in the creation of the first American government under the Articles of Confederation? Did the second government under the Constitution address their grievances or did they simply remove the imperial government and placed themselves in that position? Note 1: Successful responses will consider a broad range of evidence in support of arguments. Take a few moments to consider how you would respond by making a list of both “ethics” and “civics” related to the colonists and their grievances. Be sure to have a mixture of big/broad ideas and specific/detailed evidence in your argument. If you are confused about the definitions of “ethics” or “civics” go back and look at previous “ethical discussions” that were participation choices in previous units – you need not have participated to read through the conversation. If you are still confused, contact your coach. Note 2: We DO NOT want summaries. Summaries will not earn a high grade. “A papers” utilize rule of three analysis (including strong rule of three thesis statements in the introduction and each paragraph of the body), specific and detailed historical facts as evidence, analysis instead of summary, consider change over time and historical geography (as necessary in response to the prompt), and properly cite both primary and secondary sources. Note 3: Required length is 2-3 pages (introduction, 3 paragraphs of the body, conclusion). RULE OF THREE THESES – Do you have a well thought out and clear overall thesis in your introduction? Do you have a thesis statement for each of your three paragraphs of the body? Do the paragraphs of the body follow the overall thesis statement? EVIDENCE – You must have solid evidence for each point you raise in the thesis. Evidence is not simply a statement, there must be an explanation of how that evidence supports the thesis statement. Example: If you were writing a paragraph on the causes of the Cold War, you might use the Baruch Plan as an example. Simply writing “the Baruch Plan was a cause of the Cold War” in your paragraph would not be enough and would not be analytical. However, the following sentences do provide a good analysis of this piece of evidence: “One cause of the Cold War was the failure of the United States and the Soviet Union to agree upon a plan for nuclear disarmament after World War II. The Baruch Plan, presented by the US, would maintain the American atomic weapon advantage for the foreseeable future. This played into Stalin’s suspicions of the Americans’ true motivations toward the USSR.” Did you use the minimum number of primary sources? secondary sources? HISTORICAL ACCURACY, CLARITY, AND LOGIC Did you analyze (not summarize)? Is your argument clear and does it make sense? Is it historically accurate? Does your evidence prove your point? Does your analysis answer the prompt? Have you considered the concepts of ethics and civics, change over time, and any historical geography factors in your essay? PROPER CITATION Have you properly cited? Have you used Turabian/Chicago? You must also FOOTNOTE. Parenthetical cites are NOT allowed. GRAMMAR, SPELLING AND MECHANICS Is the essay up to college standards for grammar and spelling? Is it an analytical essay? Does it meet minimum length and formatting requirements?
also must be run through a plagiarism checker with proof!!!
