Two articles testing

Order Description

Chose Two articles testing strain theory OR two articles testing learning theory
This paper assignments are designed to teach you how to accurately identify, locate, read, analyze, and evaluate contemporary, scholarly criminal justice research articles, in order to stay abreast of new developments in the field. In Paper 1, you learned how to identify articles that are considered high quality by the academic community based on their peer review status. In Paper 2, you learned to critically evaluate the substance of a scholarly criminal justice article.

This Assignment is designed to teach you how to synthesize and compare material from multiple articles. You will read and evaluate two articles from the same theoretical tradition to compare and contrast their arguments and to synthesize their contributions to the field.

Follow the steps below to identify and evaluate two contemporary criminal justice research articles, empirically testing one of the theories covered in this course. Write a 5?6 page paper synthesizing and comparing the arguments of those articles and discussing how they contribute to the selected theoretical tradition.

Part 1: Using the CL

Search the College Library (CL) for two contemporary, empirical criminal justice research articles testing the same criminological theory; for instance, two articles testing strain theory OR two articles testing learning theory. One of the articles can be from the course syllabus or from the previous paper assignments, but the second article must be new. You can also choose to find two new articles for this assignment.

You should find articles from the year 2000 or later from the Library. Make sure the articles are peer-reviewed and high quality.

Part 2: Reading the articles

Repeat the steps that you used for Paper 2 and thoroughly read both research articles.

Part 3: Writing a Draft

Draft a 5?6 page paper that answers the following questions:
? What theory do both papers test? Describe the theory in your own words to demonstrate your thorough understanding of it.
? Compare and contrast the two empirical studies. What parts of the theory do they test? To what extent are their findings complementary or contradictory?
It is important that you actively compare and contrast the papers, rather than simply summarizing each one separately.
? Synthesize the main findings of both papers and discuss how they contribute to the advancement of the theory.
Part 4: Revising and Writing the Final Paper

Revise your draft into a final paper that is thorough, accurate, well organized, and interesting to read. Proofread your work carefully for spelling and grammar mistakes. Seek help with your writing before the paper deadline.
Writing quality is an important part of all graded assignments. In addition to using proper spelling and grammar, the words you choose and the tone of your writing should be the same as you would use in a business environment. You should use sophisticated vocabulary and avoid “text-speak” at all costs. You should also maintain a professional tone and avoid phrases that are too casual or colloquial for the business world.

When you cite use page numbers as well. Two references

Motion Picture Industry

Order Description

The motion picture industry is a competitive business. More than 50 studios produce a total of 300 to 400 new motion pictures each year, and the financial success of each motion picture varies considerably. Gross sales for the opening weekend, the total gross sales, the number of theaters the movie was shown in, and the number of weeks the motion picture was open are common variables used to measure the success of a motion picture. Data collected for a sample of 100 motion pictures produced in 20XX are contained in the file named Movies, linked at the bottom of the page. Use all 100 data points.
Managerial Report
Prepare a report (see below) using the numerical methods of descriptive statistics presented in this module to learn how each of the variables contributes to the success of a motion picture. Be sure to include the following three (3) items in your report.
Descriptive statistics (mean, median, range, and standard deviation) for each of the four variables along with an explanation of what the descriptive statistics tell us about the motion picture industry.
Use the z-score to determine which movies, if any, should be considered high-performance outliers in each of the four variables. If there are any outliers in any category, please list them and state for which category they are an outlier. Describe which method you used to make your determination.
Descriptive statistics (correlation coefficient) showing the relationship between total gross sales and each of the other three variables. Evaluate the relationships between total gross sales and each of the other three variables. Use tables, charts, graphs, or visual dashboards to support your conclusions.
Write a report that adheres to the Written Assignment Requirements under the heading ?Expectations for CSU-Global Written Assignments? found in the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements. As with all written assignments at CSU-Global, you should have in-text citations and a reference page. An example paper is provided in the MTH410 Guide to Writing with Statistics, linked at the bottom of the page.
Your report must contain the following:
A title page in APA style.
An introduction that summarizes the problem.
The body of the paper should answer the questions posed in the problem by communicating the results of your analysis. Include results of calculations, as well as charts and graphs, where appropriate.
A conclusion paragraph that addresses your findings and what you have determined from the data and your analysis.
Submit your Excel file in addition to your report.

To what degree does Realist thought contribute to bringing about ongoing conditions of conflict, competition, and war in global politics, rather than simply describing them?

Order Description

This essay is part of a theories of international politics module, so a real engagement with the realist school of thought is required. The module convenor has explicitly stated she doesn’t want a history of realist thought ( of course if its relevant to a point you are making go ahead!) but an actual argument/ stance that answers the question.

An engagement with typical Realist thinkers will be essential- Morgenthau, Waltz, Walt, Claus von Clausewitz etc.

If possible I would like an angle from Robert Jervis and Stephen van Evera who are both defensive realists.

The module convenor has produced an essay checklist which may be useful:

? Have you directly answered the question that has been set?
? Does your essay put forward and justify a cohesive argument
in response to the question set?
? Is all of the material you have included in the essay relevant
for making your argument?
? Does your opening paragraph provide an indication of how
the rest of the essay will answer the question?
? Does your essay meet the word limit?
? Does your essay have a clear and logical structure?
? Does your conclusion summarise the material in the
preceding sections of your essay?
? Have you considered all the relevant arguments in response
to the question set?
? Have you enclosed all quotations within quotation marks and
provided references for them?
? Is your essay based on wide reading?
? Have you included a bibliography including all of the
chapters/articles/other material that you have drawn on for
the essay?
? Have you engaged critically with the literature? (ie. are you
doing more than just describing the contending scholarly
works?)

Slef Determination and struggle for Justice in Afrcan American Literature

entails tracing a literary genealogy of Between the World and Me?i.e., writing an essay that argues for a particular set of formal and thematic influences on Ta-Nehisi Coates. To write your paper, you will draw on our shared reading, and you will be in conversation with others who have written about Between the World and Me.
Audience and Rhetorical Situation: The actual, real audience for this essay is me, Kathryn Warren, your professional ssor. I am grading your work on this assignment and will take into account how well you execute the requirements listed below.
The impliedlimagined audience for your paper is general readers of a mainstream but semi-scholarly publication such as The New York Review of Books. Your readers will likely be familiar with Coates and may be conversant in the language of critical race theory.
What Should You Write?: They Say, I Say
Your task is to join a conversation about Between the World and Me, adding something new to what others have said. Below are three unique takes on the book. Read them all. You must engage with at least one of them in your paper.
? Brit Bennett, “Ta-Nehisi Coates and a Generation Waking Up,” The New Yorker, 15 July 2015 ? David Brooks, “Listening to Ta-Nehisi Coates While White,” The New York Times, 17 July 2015 ? Darryl Pinckney, “The Anger of Ta-Nehisi Coates,” The New York Review of Books, 11 Feb. 2016.
What do you have to contribute? You are a literary scholar; you have your knowledge of African-American literature. The major premise of this assignment is that no work of literature, no matter how contemporary, is purely presentist. Every feat of writing arises from what came before. Coates’s memoir is made possible, you could say, by a host of predecessors, and his memoir picks up threads?both thematic and formal?that one can trace all the way back to the beginning of African-American literature. (He isn’t influenced by African-American writers alone, I should say. But that’s what our focus is in this course.)
So, in this essay, you will be tracing the book’s literary genealogy in order to engage with a question, a criticism, or a response that another thinker has had when reading Between the World and Me. A few options for threads you could trace include: ? Religionlidealism v. materialism ? Autonomy, both bodily and spiritual ? Passive resistance v. violent or active uprising ? Prioritizing among economic, social, and political rights ? Feminism and gender roles ? Role of white allies in the struggle for African-American civil rights ? Essentialism v. constructionism with respect to race ? “Good intentions” ? Individual v. systemic racism ? Justice: what it means, how to get it ? Role of education
You must make an argument. Part of it will be arguing for a particular set of formal and thematic influences on Coates, but don’t stop there: your paper should also have a clear position on the importance of the thread you’re tracing to Coates’s book, a position that engages with one of the people who’s written about Between the World and Me.
Minimum Requirements
? The essay must be between 5 and 10 complete pages in length, double spaced (-10 Minimum Requirements
? The essay must be between 5 and 10 complete pages in length, double spaced points if this condition is not met). ? The essay must include quotations from ? Between the World and Me o your main interlocutor o at least three texts from our shared reading ? You must analyze the quotations you include. ? You must make an argument. ? The essay must engage with what someone else has said when writing about Between the World and Me. ? Your tone, diction, and style should be appropriate to the audience and genre. T isn’t stuffy academic writing you’re doing, but it isn’t Facebook-level informality, either. Take your cue from the three sources above. ? No Works Cited page is necessary, but please include page numbers for your in-text citations, like this (2).
