Watch the film “Eating Animals”. Then summarize it and write your reaction to it. The video is free on the Tubi app. Use the essay “Case for Animal Rights” to support the point of the video. I will attach the prompted essay below. The paper must be 3 pages double spaced and only needs cites from the film and essay.

Introduce your essay by briefly distinguishing the two different types of the “problem” of
evil (the first two sections in Dew & Gould’s chapter) and creating a one-sentence
summary of their “answer” for each. (Keep this brief.)
2. Which of Dew & Gould’s answers could be supported by Pruitt’s arguments, and how?
Explain your reasoning. (300 word minimum.)
3. What stood out to you as the most intriguing (or strongest) argument that Dumsday
offers? Explain your reasoning. (300 word minimum.)
4. Dew & Gould offer a fairly general answer to the problem of “divine hiddenness.” How
does Dumsday’s contribution fit in there? In other words, how could Dew & Gould’s
section on divine hiddenness be supported by Dumsday’s arguments? (300 word
minimum.)
5. All things considered, what effect do your conclusions regarding the problem of evil have
on your view of the case for God’s existence? Explain how and why

Please read the attached file below it should be in a letter form writing to a “close friend” about any argument listed on the instructions!!

Attached below are two different papers I have already done. Please read over them and combine the actual research paper and bibliography. I ask the final paper to be rewritten and proofread. 
The paper should be 7-8 pages long. Please stay on the topic of my argument based on the research paper. 

Chicago format, my focus for the paper is to choose a  philosopher from the pre Socratic period. I must have 3 or more outside academic sources I am going to write about the philosopher “Xenophane”

Consider the following situation: 
A woman, Y, was born and raised in Japan. She left her mother in Japan for the US to study at the age of 21.
During 3 years of studying in the US, Y learned some different values, and attempted to bring them into her
relationship with her mother. One day, Y said to her mother, “I have always tried to be a good daughter,
trying to meet your expectations and avoiding any conflicts with you. But now, I believe that having an open
conversation where we communicate our true, honest thoughts and feelings with each other is the key to a
good relationship, even if it might sometimes cause conflicts between us.” To this, her mother replied, “no,
no, I would like to continue to have what we have had: no conflicts, no quarrels, no problems between us.
We have been having a good, harmonious relationship. That is all I want.” After this conversation, Y was sad
and upset to the point that she became so resentful toward her mother that she didn’t go back to Japan or
even call her mother for the following 4 years. 
Kongzi and Laozi share the same goal to achieve in our society: harmony and peace. However, they have
different insights into the sources/causes of discord and problems in our society, and thus hold different
views on how to bring harmony and peace among us. 
Q: How would Kongzi and Laozi analyze the situation between Y and her mother?
More specifically, (1) what was the problem with their initial relationship before the conversation,
according to them? (2) Why didn’t the conversation go well? (3) What faults would Kongzi and Laozi
see with both Y and her mother in the whole situation? (4) What are the causes/sources of the
discord between them? (4) How could they achieve a better, harmonious relationship, according to
Kongzi and Laozi? 
Q: Given that their analyses and recommendations are different, who do you agree with more? Kongzi?
Laozi? Neither? A mixture of their views? (ç Remember that this is the most important question for this
essay!) 
•Be as specific and concrete about particular behaviors and acts you are analyzing, as well as Kongzi’s
and Laozi’s analyses of them, as you can. 
• You must present direct passages from the Analects and the Daodejing in our text, “Readings in
Classical Chinese Philosophy,” (not any other translations of the Analects and the Daodejing) as
textual evidence to support your analyses. 
• In your essay, you should take the following ideas/notions/concepts into account (and explain):
For Kongzi: social roles and proper action/ritual, virtues, and self-cultivation.
For Laozi: categorization/labelling/naming, non-action, and the value of spontaneity/naturalness

Write a 1,500-2,000-word essay using at least four resources. 
Begin your paper with an appropriate introduction, including a thesis statement to introduce the purpose of the paper. Present the gospel essentials (nature of God, nature of humanity, nature of Jesus, and restoration), the Christian foundation, and an analysis of the implications of the Christian worldview.
Use the “Gospel Essentials Essay Template.” Based on the Christian worldview, write at least one paragraph for each of the following components. 
Nature of God: What is the triune God like? What are God’s characteristics? What is his creation?
Nature of Humanity: What is human nature? What is human purpose? What is the root cause of human problems?
Nature of Jesus: What is Jesus’s true identity? What was Jesus’s kingdom purpose? Why is Jesus’s identity and work significant for the Christian worldview?
Restoration: What is the solution to human problems according to the Christian worldview? What role do grace, faith, and repentance play in Christian salvation? How do Christians think that the transformation of self and society happen?
Christian Foundation: Summarize how the concepts of the gospel essentials (nature of God, nature of humanity, nature of Jesus, and restoration) constitute the foundation of the Christian worldview. In other words, how are these concepts essential to the Christian worldview?
Analysis of the Implications of the Christian Worldview: Based on the previous five prompts, analyze the implications of the Christian worldview by addressing each of the following questions:
What are the benefits or strengths of the Christian worldview as it relates to human value and dignity?
Compare the Christian concept of salvation in contrast to any other worldview perspective.
How does the Christian worldview influence a person’s thinking and behavior?
What do people find troublesome or confusing about Christianity and why?
Conclusion: Synthesize the main points, pulling the ideas of the paper together.

I need a 2 page, single spaced argumentative essay. The essay must be written from an ethical standpoint. The topic I have been assigned is Capital Punishment. I must argue against the death penalty, while acknowledging opposing arguments. I have a full outline and 2 sources, but if you feel like one more would help I would appreciate it. The essay must be completely free of any AI or plagiarism.  

The semester-long project for this course is the term paper on one of the minority identities discussed in the textbook. In this paper, you will want to address the issues facing the particular minority group, theoretical perspectives on minority status, and policy suggestions based on political ideology to create racial equity. This assignment will assist the students with developing a greater understanding of how minority status affects individuals in society.
Your final submission for the Term Paper assignment should a 10 page APA format paper that answers the following questions:
•    Why is this identity a minority identity? In other words what prejudices, discriminations, and stereotypes are members of this group subject to?
•    What is the history of this group in US society? How have they assimilated or remained separate?
•    Which sociological theories can help frame the experiences of members of this group?
•    Which government policies affect members of this group, and which have been targeted at members of this group?
Guidelines:
This paper should be 10 pages in length and follow APA format.
The final submission should include a title page, an abstract page, a reference page for sources in APA format, page numbering, a running header, and any visual representations (graphs, charts, etc) necessary to understand the topic.
All of these items are to be included in the page count.
Your annotated bibliography will not be included in this submission. Please remove the annotations to create the reference page.
Each of the three components of the Term Paper will be submitted through its own individual assignment. All three components must be submitted to achieve potentially full points; i.e. if the final submission is the only submission, students will not receive points for the first two components. Refer to the Term Paper Final Submission rubric for further information on grading requirements.
