THE TOPIC FOR THIS PAPER IS OBESITY

The descriptive epidemiology paper should focus on the epidemiology of a specific outcome variable (disease or possibly a health problem) that impacts a population.  Examples of acceptable topics include a communicable or infectious disease, a chronic disease or condition such as one of the leading causes of mortality in the United States, or a disease or condition that is of personal interest to the student. Note that this assignment should not give extensive clinical information about a health condition, but should provide a data-based focus on its distribution in the population. Your chosen topic should be defined as narrowly as possible, for example, hepatitis C. Avoid a broad topic such as stress and health or heart disease.

 

The Descriptive Epidemiology of a Selected Health Problem assignment

  • Should describe
    • the extent of the problem (e.g., mortality, morbidity, or economic impact);
    • the agent of disease (e.g., bacterium, virus, or other agent);
    • the physical condition (briefly describe the clinical symptoms);
    • the mechanisms that are used to control the problem or spread of disease;
    • the host factors that make people vulnerable to the problem (e.g., race, sex, gender, age, nativity, and marital status);
    • the environmental factors (e.g., geographic location) and socioeconomic factors (e.g., income, housing, occupation, education, family structure, and cultural background) that make people vulnerable to the problem;
    • the problem’s temporal variation (seasonal trends, cyclic, epidemic, endemic, or pandemic);
    • the additional epidemiologic variables that pertain to your topic,
    • and the gaps in knowledge about the disease (e.g., reporting gaps and insufficient knowledge of the disease). Has previous research failed to address any pressing issues regarding the disease or problem in question?
  • Should also include:
    • A list of transmission modes (if caused by an infectious agent);
    • a summary of any current hypotheses that have been proposed to explain the observed distribution or problem;
    • identification of any existing and/or proposed policies to address the issue or health problem;
    • a discussion of the significance and implications of the policies identified above,
    • suggested areas for further epidemiologic research.

 

  • Topic selection can be based on health problems given priority by  the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (cdc.gov), the World Health Organization (WHO.org).

 

  • Must include supportive data presented in at least five charts and tables attached to the appendix of the paper. Each of these must have a citation on the item itself and a call-out in the text so that the instructor can identify them.

TC Argument essay

TC Argument essay

True Crime is a problematic, divisive, and controversial subject. Critical conversations regarding the genre of True Crime are developing in real time, and this is your opportunity to weigh in and contribute your unique and informed opinions.

 

For Essay #2, we are writing an argumentative essay with a stance on one topic related to True Crime.

 

This essay is written for a target audience of true crime fans, which relieves you from having to introduce and explain the true crime genre and its recent surge in popularity.

Instead, you get to assert your stance/thesis, support your arguments using 2-3 specific sources/cases/outcomes (research), acknowledge other stances/nuances regarding this specific issue, and then leave your reader with a clear call to action to address/mitigate this problem.

 

To convince and persuade your interested True Crime fan reader, you will utilize all three rhetorical strategies:

 

To establish ETHOS, you will write with clarity, confidence, and command of the genre and topic(s).

 

To establish PATHOS, you will write with voice, story, and compassion regarding the case/victims you cite in support of your claims.

 

To establish LOGOS, you will introduce, share and cite, and unpack relevant evidence/research in support of your key claims and arguments.

 

PROCESS:

  1. You will choose and articulate a clear stance on one specific issue related to True Crime.

-You may choose one umbrella argument about what’s wrong with True Crime as a whole (and use a specific case/documentary to illustrate it)

OR

-You may dive into a specific case/documentary such as the

Murdaugh Murders or the Cult of Sarah Lawrence (and craft a case-specific stance/argument)

 

  1. Then, you will choose one+ case/crime/character/outcome to use to illustrate and support your stance regarding this specific issue in True Crime

 

  1. You will research and gather the strongest, most relevant sources to support your stance/arguments

 

  1. Finally, you will outline and draft your thesis, topic sentence claims, supporting evidence, and closing remarks

 

ADVICE:

These are SHORT, op-ed or news column-style essays. The challenge is to choose a topic you are passionate and knowledgeable about, and to narrow that topic down into a manageable focus/specific example, and to pinpoint only your strongest claims and evidence to swiftly persuade your reader to share in your concerns and calls to action.

Research Essay Outline with Descriptions and Sentence Starters

Directions: Complete the essay plan to help you organize your topics and evidence for the essay you will write in unit 7.

 

Introduction Paragraph
A. Hook:  Engage the reader with a question, shocking statistic, or interesting fact. 

 

B. Background Information: Explain what the topic is about. What do we need to know beforehand? Why should we care about this topic? Provide definitions, general facts, history, and multiple perspectives on the topic.

 

C. Thesis Statement: Make a statement, or claim that details the three main ideas your research essay will cover.

  1. What if we could greatly reduce the amount of deaths caused by an overdose, just by supplying a test strip to the public?
  2.   Over 100,000 people died because of drug overdoses last year, and a staggering amount of those deaths were related to Fentanyl use. A majority of those that died due to Fentanyl use didn’t even mean to take it. A new product has hit the market which could prevent the majority of these deaths- A fentanyl test strip.
  3.  While some argue that fentanyl test strips promote drug use, I argue that they encourage awareness and safety.

 

BODY PARAGRAPH 1 – set up explaining the danger of fentanyl
A. TOPIC SENTENCE: This is the first portion of your thesis statement.

 

B. ELABORATION: Explain and clarify your point. Provide some information from your research to describe the claim made in your topic sentence.

 

Sentence Starters: Particularly… In particular… In fact… More specifically… More precisely… To be more precise… Namely… In other words…

 

C. EVIDENCE: Identifies and contextualizes evidence that supports your topic sentence. This is where you add specific quotes from research.

●        Sentence Starters: For example… For instance… According to… Based on… As stated in/by… In the article… (Make sure to add the author’s last name in parenthesis at the end of the quote.)

 

D. EVIDENCE: Add a second piece of evidence from research.

●        Sentence Starters: To further illustrate, this research also illustrates that… For instance… According to… Based on… As stated in/by… (Make sure to add the author’s last name in parenthesis at the end of the quote.)

  1.  Most people have heard of fentanyl, but very few are aware of just how dangerous the drug truly is.
  2.   Fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine and needs only a few grains to kill someone. It is also more resistant to the life-saving drug Narcan.
  3.  As stated by the CDC, “Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. It is a major contributor to fatal and nonfatal overdoses in the U.S.”
  4.  As also presented by Stat,” It’s deadly because it’s so much stronger than heroin, as shown by the photograph above, which was taken at the New Hampshire State Police Forensic Laboratory. On the left is a lethal dose of heroin, equivalent to about 30 milligrams; on the right is a 3-milligram dose of fentanyl, enough to kill an average-sized adult male.”
BODY PARAGRAPH 2 – how/why fentanyl is in the market
A. TOPIC SENTENCE: This is the first portion of your thesis statement.

 

B. ELABORATION: Explain and clarify your point. Provide some information from your research to describe the claim made in your topic sentence.

 

Sentence Starters: Particularly… In particular… In fact… More specifically… More precisely… To be more precise… Namely… In other words…

 

C. EVIDENCE: Identifies and contextualizes evidence that supports your topic sentence. This is where you add specific quotes from research.

●        Sentence Starters: For example… For instance… According to… Based on… As stated in/by… In the article… (Make sure to add the author’s last name in parenthesis at the end of the quote.)

 

D. EVIDENCE: Add a second piece of evidence from research.

Sentence Starters: To further illustrate, this research also illustrates that… For instance… According to… Based on… As stated in/by… (Make sure to add the author’s last name in parenthesis at the end of the quote.)

  1.  The question is: Why would distributors put fentanyl into their drugs if it is so deadly? Because it is so addictive
  2.  Fentanyl is both cheaper to make and harder to track than heroin, making it far more appealing for those in the drug market to both create and distribute. Producing more addicting substance creates more addicted customers, increasing the money made by those drug cartels.
  3.   As presented by the National Institute of Drug Abuse: “Yes. Fentanyl is addictive because of its potency. A person taking prescription fentanyl as instructed by a doctor can experience dependence, which is characterized by withdrawal symptoms when the drug is stopped…”
  4.   As stated in a podcast episode by the Wall Street Journal: “Mexican cartels started buying what are called precursor chemicals, they’re the ingredients to make fentanyl, from Chinese factories…” Secondary, “The amount you’d need to produce a kilogram of heroin would be like $6,000. With the precursor chemicals that you can get from China, that same amount of fentanyl might cost $200 or less.”

 

 

 

BODY PARAGRAPH 3 – fentanyl test strips, their use and why its outlawed in some area vs its practical application
A. TOPIC SENTENCE: This is the first portion of your thesis statement.

 

B. ELABORATION: Explain and clarify your point. Provide some information from your research to describe the claim made in your topic sentence.

 

Sentence Starters: Particularly… In particular… In fact… More specifically… More precisely… To be more precise… Namely… In other words…

 

C. EVIDENCE: Identifies and contextualizes evidence that supports your topic sentence. This is where you add specific quotes from research.

●        Sentence Starters: For example… For instance… According to… Based on… As stated in/by… In the article… (Make sure to add the author’s last name in parenthesis at the end of the quote.)

Sentence Starters: To further illustrate, this research also illustrates that… For instance… According to… Based on… As stated in/by… (Make sure to add the author’s last name in parenthesis at the end of the quote.)

 

  1. The idea of a test strip that can detect Fentanyl in a drug before the user takes it- therefore preventing accidental consumption and potential death- seems too good to be true. But is it?
  2.  The test strip is as simple as a pregnancy or COVID test with the purpose to detect Fentanyl in a users urine, or in the drug the user is about to consume. This could greatly decrease the amount of people who accidentally take fentanyl, therefore potentially decreasing the amount of deaths directly related to fentanyl-caused overdoses. It could also prevent the number of people who use drugs.
  3.  As presented by the CDC, “Fentanyl test strips (FTS) are a low-cost method of helping prevent drug overdoses and reducing harm. FTS are small strips of paper that can detect the presence of fentanyl in all different kinds of drugs (cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, etc.) and drug forms (pills, powder, and injectables).”
  4. As proven in a study done in North Carolina, “81% of those with access to FTS routinely tested their drugs before use. Those with a positive test result were five times more likely to change their drug use behavior to reduce the risk of overdose.”

 

CONCLUSION PARAGRAPH – review of why test strips should be provided everywhere and how they can be used + reminder of the danger/numbers related to fentanyl deaths
A.      RESTATE THESIS:  Rewrite your thesis statement in a new and interesting way.

 

B. RELEVANCE: Explain why teens your age should care about the topics you discussed in your essay. How does learning about these topics impact our lives? Demonstrate how this essay relates to the world and the future of our planet.

 

C. NOW WHAT?/CLINCHER: State what readers can do now that they have an understanding of this topic.

  1.  While some may still argue that fentanyl test strips promote frequent drug use, it is proven that access to FTS not only prevent Fentanyl related deaths, but also reduce overall drug use
  2.  Many teens use drugs such as Marijuana and mushrooms, assuming that it is safer than heroin. While that is true overall, fentanyl can be put into most other drugs. An unsuspecting teenager looking for a good time may turn into a life-long drug user without intending to ever partake in the extremely dangerous substance. The distribution of fentanyl test strips could not only prevent unsuspecting users from becoming addicts, but also help current users make an informed decision in the drugs they choose to consume.
  3. It is important to stay informed and act. While FTS are criminalized as drug paraphernalia in some states, they are legal to purchase in Arizona. I encourage you to buy a pack of them and always keep one on your person. If you ever find yourself in a situation where drug use is present, you may find it useful to ensure said drugs are not laced with a more deadly substance than you initially signed up for.

Compare and contrast of the husband and wife from cathedral by raymond carver and how they interact with the blind man

A paper that compares and contrasts. A comparison and contrast of two poems or stories
or plays that share at least one common feature leads to a better understanding of both.
Two characters either from the same literary work or found in a different work, share
some common traits may also be compared and contrasted. You may not compare works
composed from different literary genres (ex. A poem and a play). Be careful not to point
out the obvious, but strive to discover what may not at first appear obvious. Also, two
opposing critical views of a particular work or character may be discussed. Examining
and evaluating what opposing critics have to say about a work often leads to a much
enriched understanding of the work or character.
In addition to the primary source(s), the essay must include a minimum of three secondary
sources of information from vetted academic source material that is related to arguing t
he
topic at hand (psychology, history, literary, etc.) Encyclopedias, Wikipedia, dictionaries, and
any open source website are not counted as proper academic sources and will not be accepted.

Comparative Global Media Organization/Content Study

/in /by

Comparative Global Media Organization/Content Study

For my topic, I choose to write compare and contrast movie genres: mystery and action using Sherlock Holmes as a mystery example and the Bourne series as an action example. You can add more of the example based on the instructions below. Please refer to the instruction below and you can use 3 sources from the files I attached below and 3 secondary sources (browse from internet) and 3 primary sources (browse from internet), so the total would be 9 sources.

Overview
• 7-9 pages excluding references page
• APA citation format
• Minimum source requirements:
o 3 class sources (peer-reviewed scholarly readings from class)
o 3 outside secondary sources (peer-reviewed scholarly articles not from class readings)
o 3 primary sources institution/organization profile sources (assets of the producers of the 2 global media you are comparing, e.g. annual reports, websites, government reports)
– 4-6 total media texts, examples (content analyzed varies from topic to topic; see GSI)

Instructions

Students will develop their proposals into a comparative analysis of regional/national media. For example, one might compare specific content (e.g. US’s Washington Post, Israel’s Haaretz coverage of Covid-19), media policies (Chinese vs. Saudi media regulations) or a genre (satire, romantic comedies, etc.) that operate in a transnational context.

Writers will use secondary and primary sources (see definitions in Addendum 1).

Secondary research from scholars will provide background information for the reader. Writers will make their own comparative analysis with primary research.

Primary sources for comparative analysis are often two types:

1. Institutional/organizational: e.g. major corporations, government agencies, advertising firms, and related revenue figures, government policy documents, media imports/export numbers, etc.
2. content analysis of media texts (media examples): e.g. themes in national advertising campaigns, film adaptations, the role of gender in two similar shows, how news organizations cover a topic, etc.

The paper should touch on both types of analysis, but the writer may choose which type (Institutional vs. content analysis) for the focus of the paper. You should aim to inform the reader on relevant media system context. A comparative paper on The Simpsons adaptation in Saudi Arabia, for example, would likely note the changes introduced to the show in light of the religious sensibilities of Arabic audiences.

Paper Organization and Structure

The paper will have roughly four main sections, though there is flexibility in how writers structure the paper. All page numbers suggestions are approximate and will shrink or grow as you focus on elements of your comparison.

1. Introduction (1-2 pgs.)

Introduce the media outlets/programs/content you will be comparing and which aspects you will be comparing. For example, you could compare  similar news shows, reality TV, children’s programs, documentaries, etc. in two countries. Your “cases” should be comparable in as many ways as possible (similar genre, similar audience, similar medium) so that any differences you find can be linked to the regional media system in which they function. Justify the comparison in relation to globalization theories (what general questions does this case study comparison contribute to?).  Explain how you will investigate your question (what methods and primary sources will you be using?).

2. Media organization/programming profiles (2-4 pgs.)

2a. Drawing on relevant course readings and additional secondary and primary sources, situate your media organizations in their national/regional context. For example, if you were comparing Al Jazeera and CNN, you would would be smart to provide some information on the contrasting free speech laws in Arab and western media systems. Focus your reader’s attention on the most important elements for your comparison.

2b. Provide specific background on the media organizations related to your topic (e.g. TV Globo, Gibli Studios, a particular telenovela or set of Bollywood films). Fruitful information for this section may include the following elements: historical background, ownership, funding, audience, and mission statement of an organization.

3. Content (text/image/format) analysis (2-4 pgs.)

3a. Draw a sample of at least 3 “texts” from each media outlet/program (6 texts total)

3b. Conduct a close reading of these texts to draw out similarities/differences of the “output” of the media outlets/programs/genre you are investigating.

3c. Support your interpretations with evidence (quoted passages, captured images, statistics – e.g., numbers of times in which certain themes, frames, characterizations, images appear in each sample).

4. Conclusion (1-2 pgs.)
Summarize what you have learned from this study. Link your findings to globalization theories and concepts. Reflect on the research process: what worked well? What might you do differently next time? What kinds of future research might extend or qualify this study?

Provide a APA citation and bibliography listing all primary and secondary source materials.
