Assignment 1: Essay

Due Week 4 and worth 100 points

Choose one (1) of the three (3) reading selections from the list of topic choices below. The focus is on brief but important primary source material written by major authors. Read the selections as identified with each topic below. Write a three to four (3-4) paragraph essay (250 words minimum) which analyzes the “surprise ending” of the reading selection.

Topic Choices

Reading selection from Descartes’ Discourse on the Method (Part IV). Descartes begins with a proof of one basic conclusion and ends with a proof of something much grander. Remember to focus on the surprise and point of realization, not the details of the philosophical argument. Read Part IV of the Discourse on the Method located at http://www.earlymoderntexts.com/assets/pdfs/descartes1637.pdf (then scroll down to Part 4, pp. 14-18). This is only four or five (4 or 5) pages of the larger work.

Reading selection of Swift’s A Modest Proposal. It is essential to recognize the genre of this work, as discussed in our class text, which you should consult and cite. Swift promotes a radical solution, but subtle options are mentioned. You are looking for surprise and a point of realization. Read and focus on A Modest Proposal located at http://www.victorianweb.org/previctorian/swift/modest.html.

Two (2) reading selections from Voltaire’s Candide. Consider how these readings start and end in terms of the action and the beliefs. You are looking for surprise and a point of realization. These selections can be found on pp. 840-841 in the textbook. In addition, consult the class text at pp. 824-825.

For the reading selection you choose:

Clearly state in your own words the “surprise ending” in the reading you selected. Clearly identify the point in the reading when you realized that there were elements in the reading that surprised you. Not all of the surprises come at the end.

Evaluate how successful the author was in convincing you to accept the validity of the “surprise ending” that was different from what you expected.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA Style format.

Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Use the source(s) identified above for the topic you choose, focusing on the main primary source of that author. You may use additional sources also if they are of good academic quality for college papers (Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify). Use proper APA style in-text citing and also a matching APA style References list at the end.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

Explain how key social, cultural, and artistic contributions contribute to historical changes.

Explain the importance of situating a society’s cultural and artistic expressions within a historical context.

Choose one (1) of the topics from the list of topic choices below. Read the topic carefully. Write a three to four (3-4) page paper (750-1,000 words) that responds to each of the items described in the topic.

For the topic you choose:

Support your ideas with specific, illustrative examples. If there are questions or points associated with your chosen topic, be sure to answer all of the listed questions and address all of the items in that topic. If your topic asks you to do several things related to the topic, be sure to do each of the things listed.

Explain why each piece is considered to be historically significant.

Explain how each piece “fits” your company’s overall (or desired) corporate image. Keep in mind that a piece of art is supposed to “say” something about the owner, so describe what would these pieces of art say about your company.

Describes each author’s role and importance within the Harlem Renaissance.

Answer the following question in a short one paragraph essay.

Write a personal account on how scarcity affected your life in the last week? Provide several examples of items you had to do without over the last week because of limited resources and explain how you adjusted to the situation. For an example on how your report should look, view the example below:

Example

My name is John and I am a 21 year old full-time college student who lives alone and works part-time as a fitness trainer. At the beginning of every week I plan my budget, and last week I had to buy groceries, gas, pay my electric, and cell phone bills and I had just enough money to cover each one. Most often, I make pretty good decisions regarding how I spend my money, but sometimes I can be impulsive. Last week, I bought groceries, gas and paid my electric bill and I went to one of my cell phone carrier’s store locations in the mall to pay my cell phone bill. While there, I did everything but pay the bill. On impulse, I spent the money I had aside for my cell phone bill on two final sale outfits and some new training shoes. My new outfits and shoes looked great but I didn’t have any money left to pay my cell phone bill so I was not able to. The next day, I awoke and tried to contact a client to personal train later that day, but my phone services was disconnected due to nonpayment. At that point, I was out of money and unable to return the final sale items to get the money back from, so I had to borrow money from my parents to pay the cell phone bill. As result, I was able to pay my phone bill and get my services reconnected but now I was in debt to my parents.

Examining the Example

Now, you do not have to add this to your assignment, but lets take a look at ways John encountered scarcity in this example:

1. Scarcity- He had limited funds- This is shown because he had to plan a budget, and only had money for his weekly budget expenses.

2. The situation- He had limited funds to sufficiently satisfy his impulsive purchases and pay his weekly budget expenses at the same time.

3. Item John went without- The cell phone service.

4. John’s way of adjusting to the situation- He chose to spend the money set aside for his cell phone bill which caused the phone services to get disconnected. He borrowed money from his parents to pay his phone bill and willingly went into debt to them.

Side Note: Similar situations like John’s occur often, like for many Americans who cannot afford a house and take out loans to buy one but they go into debt by doing so.

John’s limited funds= limited resources—>to cover every want (impulsive purchases & cell phone bill)–>scarcity

In the scenarios and resulting simulations, Robert Donovan, a Jurisville probation officer, discusses the intricacies of probation. Kris, the defendant, is offered an intensive supervised probation plan to follow. Brennan Brooke, a senior criminologist, discusses the tailoring of the inmate to the appropriate facility. Finally, Orlando Boyce, a sergeant at the fictional Deephall correctional facility, discusses measures that could conceivably make prison life effective and thus decrease the likelihood of recidivism.

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

1. Outline your findings from your review of the file of Kris, for whom Robert is considering probation. State whether or not your results from the file review match Robert’s. Explain two (2) instances in which your views and those of Robert are both similar and different.
2. Develop a profile of the so-called perfect candidate to participate in an intensive supervised probation program. The profile should contain at least three (3) attributes that you believe make this defendant the perfect candidate for this type of probation.
3. Defend or critique the strategy of matching the inmate to the correctional facility as a response to the legal concept of cruel and unusual punishment. Provide a rationale for your position with concrete examples.
4. Defend or critique whether programs and amenities geared to making prison life effective—which run the gamut from hiring extra officers, to counseling and therapy, to building a garden—are time and taxpayer money well spent.
5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
