  • “Fear and Its Impact on Communities: An Argumentative Research Project”

    The following is an argumentative
    research assignment designed to marry the worlds of explanatory
    research, literary analysis, and real-world idea application. This formal
    research assignment culminates in a formal presentation, which also includes a
    Works Cited.
    The Objectives
    Through the completion of
    this project, students will:
    – successfully summarize,
    paraphrase, and directly quote from primary and secondary
    source material
    using MLA guidelines
    – integrate real-world
    research and literary works as evidence for their own ideas
    – engage with literature
    as cultural artifact
    – create an original
    assertion
    – support claims with
    factual and interpretive evidence
    – organize ideas into a
    presentation (you will create a PowerPoint, Prezi, Canva, etc) answering the
    questions below, which will be demonstrating organic progression of thoughts
    – evaluate source
    material
    – create accurate
    bibliographic citations
    – hypothesize solutions
    to complex problems
    Essential Questions
    In
    completing this assignment you will answer the following questions:
    ·        
    What am I and/or my community afraid of?
    ·        
    How does fear influence communities and/or
    decisions made by communities?
    ·        
    How does fear prohibit progress within a
    community or individual?
    ·        
    How can we overcome fear and encourage healing
    and unity in communities?
    (Use literature from
    class, movies, news, political rhetoric, etc. to address the questions above).
    You are also required to complete an annotated bibliography (below):
    Length:  10 entries
    An annotated
    bibliography is a way for researchers to evaluate source material, and
    when done properly it can be a useful tool in the construction of a research
    assignment.  It includes a very brief summary of the source, and then goes
    on to include notes on the text that could be useful either to yourself (while
    writing your paper), or to someone else who might potentially use the same
    source.
    Your annotated
    bibliography must have a minimum of 10 sources. You do not
    have to use all sources in your presentation. That said, all source material
    found in your presentation must come from your annotated
    bibliography. Any source material found in your presentation that is not in
    your bibliography will cost you 10 points per source.
    Your annotations should
    be concise and include the following:
    Brief paragraph (150-300
    words) in which you concisely evaluate the article, summarize central
    theme or idea, assess the authority or background of the
    author, remark on intended audience, compare/contrast the
    work with another article(s) you have cited, and explain how
    it illuminates your topic.
    Each column of the rubric
    corresponds to one annotated source. The bibliographic entry, while required,
    is not included in grading. You will lose points for an absent or incorrect
    citation, but you will not gain points for that portion of your annotation.
    Each category is worth 1 point, and will be marked based on the following
    scale:
    1 = exceeds expectations – Annotation categories earning a score of 1 are
    exceptionally well done, thoughtful, contain no errors of fact or usage, and
    are especially full or apt.
    .8 = meets expectations – Annotation categories earning a score of .8 are
    satisfactory, but may contain errors of fact or grammar, and may not represent
    a full answer.
    .65 = below expectation – Annotation categories earning a score of a .65 may be
    implicitly discussed, or severely deficient in explanation.
    0 = not present – Annotation categories earning a score of a 0 are absent from
    the annotation.
    ** Points will be deducted for grammatical and spelling errors.

  • “The Construction of Depression in Hong Kong Online English News during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Critical Discourse Analysis”

    2000 words. Topic: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Depression in Hong Kong Online English News under COVID -19
    [i will give you my data set and you have to use antconc 4.2.4 to generate data for Corpus analysis and CDA; 2000 words; no AI used]
    The study aims to explore how Hong Kong online news media depict depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. By analyzing the language used in online news reports on depression conveyed by media outlets from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022, the research seeks to uncover the underlying ideologies embedded within the discourse in two English online newspapers over the same pandemic period. This study intends to shed light on how depression is framed and discussed during times of crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, the following research question has been identified in accordance with the objectives of this study:
    (1) What linguistic patterns being used in news reports about depression in Hong Kong online English newspapers during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 to 2022?
    (2) How do these linguistic features in news reports about depression in Hong Kong online English newspapers during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 to 2022 reveal or reinforce the underlying social ideologies?
    [TBC, to fit your analysis content]
    for your reference:
    Data for this study was collected from two prominent Hong Kong online English newspapers, namely the South China Morning Post and the Hong Kong Free Press, accessible throughout their website. The first stage of the data collection process involved a keyword search, yielding a total of 278 newspaper articles from the first selection. All included newspaper articles contain two inclusion criteria: (1) the presence of the major search term “depression”, and (2) publication within the two years from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022. In the second stage, the data filtration process was conducted by eliminating any irrelevant content and news features, leaving only 64 of them to be used as the data. For specificity, all the newspaper articles were filtrated and any of them were found not to primarily contain keywords of (1) “depress”; (2) “COVID”, “pandemic”, “epidemic” or “coronavirus”, and (3) “mental” was excluded. At the same time, newspaper articles with the exclusion criteria were also eliminated: (1) guest-written posts from the News feature of Opinion and Common/Letters; (2) non-local articles covering only China; (3) articles with an entertainment feature like Style magazine; and (4) articles with irrelevant search term usage in the content of this topic like Business, Economy and Law and Crime, as they may only use depression to express a specific crime case, economic situation or person that is not related to the research topic of mental health issue during COVID-19. This yielded a number of 214 news articles excluded, leaving 64 newspapers for inclusion in the database. Among these, 80% were from the South China Morning Post and 20% from the Hong Kong Free Press. At last, before uploading the data into Antconc 4.2.4, all the articles were manually copied and pasted into plain text format (.txt) as a raw document and a text clean-up in order to remove extratextual information such as advertisement and repeated content.

  • Title: General Electric’s Corporate Strategy: Navigating Challenges and Creating Value for its Business Units

    The “World’s Most Admired Company” In this module, the role of the corporate headquarters in a multibusiness company — in particular, how the corporate headquarters can create value for the individual businesses. This necessitates examining the role of the corporate headquarters and its relations with individual businesses. For this week’s assignment, review CASE 13
    How Do You Solve a Problem Like General Electric?, Chapter 13 (in your textbook). Remember: A case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific case study questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps:
    Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the principles and concepts of the course module, which apply to the situation described in the case study.
    Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the module. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current course module. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers.
    Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situation.
    Consider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life examples or cases from textbooks.
    Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already have the answers to the questions but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case.
    Case Study Questions:
    What were the key challenges faced by General Electric in the early 2000s, and how did the company respond to these challenges?
    How did General Electric’s corporate strategy change under the leadership of Jeff Immelt, and what were the implications of these changes for the company’s various business units?
    What role did divestitures play in General Electric’s corporate strategy, and how did the company decide which businesses to sell off?
    How did General Electric allocate resources across its various business units, and what factors influenced these resource allocation decisions?
    How did General Electric leverage synergies across its different businesses, and what benefits did this approach offer the company?
    Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:
    Be 4 to 5 pages in length, which does not include the required title and reference pages, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.
    Use academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.
    Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles unless the assignment calls for more.

  • The Impact of Time Magazine on American Culture: A Historical Analysis Introduction Print publications have played a significant role in shaping public opinion and influencing cultural norms throughout history. One such publication that has stood the test of time and continues to impact American society

    Please select a prominent nationally or internationally circulated print publication, either a newspaper or magazine, and research its history.
    Then, write an essay of at least 500 words. Please compose the essay as a double-spaced Word document. Assignment submissions in other formats are not accepted for credit.
    Begin with a title page at the front of your document showing the correct assignment title, the course name, your name, and the date consistent with APA format for title pages. Do not use font larger than 12-point, please. Follow the guidelines for essay title pages as shown in The Center for Writing Excellence (linked below).
    Start the body of the paper’s narrative with a paragraph to introduce the topic and preview what the paper will cover. This introductory paragraph gets the reader “up to speed” with the topic and the key points being addressed.
    Then, follow with an essay focusing on the history of your selected nationally or internationally circulated publication and the evolution of that type of medium.
    When was the publication first published?
    Who founded the publication and where was it first published?
    Who was the original intended audience?
    How has the content (e.g., photos, articles, advertisements) changed over time?
    How widely circulated is this publication? Publications with more readership tend to have greater impact.
    What impact, if any, has the publication had on American culture? How do you know this for sure?
    What are your predictions for how the publication will survive or advance in the future?
    Conclude the narrative of the essay with a paragraph or so that summarizes the key points of your paper. Tell why this information is important for people who want to understand the impact of a particular print publication on society.
    Cite at least two references to support your ideas. These references should align with specific examples of how media have influenced culture in the past 50 years or so. List the sources on a References page at the end of the assignment submission. APA format in-text reference citations are required. For help with APA format, contact Dr. Swanson and/or see the information to follow below.
