Kurdish Self-determination and Territorial Rights

/in /by

Kurdish Self-determination and Territorial Rights. Examine the Kurdish attempts towards greater self-determination within the context of the Stanford definition of Secession and Territorial rights.

For example, look at the recent referendum for secession in Iraq, the prior establishment of the KRG in Iraq, and attempts at building a ‘Rojava’ across the region.

Also, draw from information from the source attached.

Include a comparison between Choice and Nationalist theories of secession in the Kurdish context. (Can be a small section but would provide a relevant link to course material).

For outside sources, please use articles published in peer-reviewed scholarly journals.

I have also attached 3 copies of my own work from another course to help guide in the writing style.

General Advice on Writing Philosophy Essays
1. I’m looking for knowledge of the relevant course material, understanding and evaluation of the arguments involved, and some original and coherent thinking. Style is relevant. This involves such things as clarity, organization, grammar, and spelling.
2. The essay is a defence of your own position regarding a question of ethical significance. To give your position a worthy defence, imagine that your reader is skeptical about your conclusion but sympathetic to well formulated arguments. When arguing against a position, imagine how your opponent would reply.
3. Strong argumentation and originality of thought are highly valued in philosophy papers. This could involve subtle and detailed analysis of an issue, concept, or author, and it could involve comparing or connecting different ideas in order to develop your own view. Accuracy in your treatment of texts is also important. As a reader, I want you to give me the most for the least – that is, to make lots of points, defend them adequately, back them up with appropriate attention to course material, and to do this without padding or repetition.
4. Marks will be deducted for poor writing (paragraph organization, grammar and diction), so proofread carefully. I also come down hard on papers that clearly misread an author, that are self-contradictory, or that say little in a vague way.
5. All ideas taken from someone else should be referenced in MLA or APA format, even if they are not direct quotations. Page references should be given for all direct quotations from a printed source.

I have provided course notes for you as an attachment to use and reference to help write this essay, you are to reference them properly using APA format when you use them in the essay. You are required to use additional secondary sources as well to write this.

Global health crisis

Respond to the questions in two separate argumentative essays • In these 2 argumentative essays, you must use one ethical theory to justify your thesis and respond to the questions. Then, use a second (i.edifferent) ethical theory to raise objections to your view, to show that there is another perspective to consider. Be sure to offer a response to the objections in order to provide more support to your argument. (Since this is the first argumentative essay, I’ve provided this argumentative structure to help you.• You will be assessed on the persuasiveness of your moral argument, the clarity of your writing, and the ability to incorporate relevant course readings.• Both of these questions are complex and involve more than one issue/topic from the course. You should select what you think are the most relevant issues for each question.

• Avoid direct quotations. Paraphrase to express the ideas in your own words. Indicate the author’s name and page number for the idea that you are
paraphrasing.
• Question: What were Boisjoly’s ethical obligations in this case and did he fulfill
them? Does he share any of the responsibility for the disaster? Is there
anything else he should have done?
(Please refer to Case 6 and Module 2 Moral Theories for essay 1)

Question: Should the solution to a global health crisis, like a pandemic, be
driven by the market? Do you think companies are morally justified in insisting
on no price controls for the Covid-19 vaccine once it is developed?

Knowledge of a social justice issue

/in /by

Considering this assignment requires you to demonstrate your knowledge of a social justice issue (which covers course material for last weeks of class) AND to demonstrate your knowledge of course content through engagement and critical analysis with course material. This assignment is worth 30% of your final grade. For this assignment, you are asked to research an example of how people have engaged in the world to challenge injustice, to transform social relations and to create social change, while demonstrating the knowledge, understanding and critical skills you have gained in this course. You are asked to research your example of “feminism” in practice, to describe the issue and activism involved, and how this example relates to key terms/your learning in this course. This is an opportunity to apply course materials by engaging with concepts, vocabulary, theories and themes of the course that help you describe and understand a social issue and the movement, person, or example of individuals working collectively to bring about social change. Conduct research to learn about your assigned topic, and then to write a report that demonstrates what you have learned while engaging in critical analysis on why the issue exists, its history, who is impacted, what social relations give rise to this issue, and the ways people have worked together to address it and create change. Questions that should be directly addressed in your research project: 1.What is the issue, person and/or movement you were assigned?2.What is the social justice issue here? Can you make sense of it/explain why it exists through use of course materials and reference to larger social relations?
3.What form(s) of social activism do you see being engaged in here?4.Which voices are speaking, from what perspective, who are they speaking to and what are they saying/trying to do?
5.What has this example taught you about social activism and social change? Has it inspired you in some way? How might you incorporate these lessons this example has to teach you into your daily life and relationships? You are also expected to incorporate two assigned readings in your textbook to make sense of the social issue and activism you are describing (cite in MLA format, author and page number). A reading can be chosen because it tells you something about your topic/issue, the historical background knowledge required to understand why this issue exists, or one that helps you develop a critical analysis or understanding of the social relations involved. You will be assessed on the research you do to demonstrate knowledge on your issue/topic and to what extent to critically analyzed this topic through engagement with course materials (two scholarly sources from your textbook). Be sure to answer all the questions posed above, succinctly.

Legal Environment of Business

BUL4310: Legal Environment of Business

Write a brief paper reacting to a law journal article. Almost any law journal article associated with a university publisher will be acceptable. Any of my articles at
(Links to an external site.)
are certainly acceptable as something to which you react.
The very beginning of the paper should have (1) your name, (2) your UFID, (3) the title – “Reaction Paper to ______ (the article’s title) by (the article’s author), (4) the journal name – e.g., American Business Law Journal, and – if possible – an URL, i.e., web address, for the article), and (5) the length, in pages or word totals, of the article to which you are reacting. PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR PAPER USING WORD.
In the body of your paper, you should briefly describe the article and then offer your questions or comments; feel free to bring in concepts or ideas you have learned from the class lectures, the Law, Society, and Business text, the Barron’s textbook, or other courses or life itself! Normally, the article should be at least 5 or 6 pages long, but could be as long as 100 or more pages. You need not read the entire article and react to it, but you should either deal with the entirety of it all or at least some part to which you can intelligibly react.
You are free to quote from the article, but do NOT make your paper a cut-and-paste job, or anything where more than, say, a quarter of your paper consists of quoting or paraphrasing the article. I want your reaction. You could write about points you learned from the article, questions that an article raised in your mind, comparisons to matters you have learned elsewhere (in this class, in another course, from life), other things the article reminds you of or that could be in some way analogized to or related to points/sources in the article.

Should politicians get their hands dirty?

/in /by

Should politicians get their hands dirty? If they should get their hands dirty, should democratic citizens blame them and punish them for their dirty hands? If politicians should not get their hands

The topic didn’t fit in the topic area, but the topic is as follows:
Should politicians get their hands dirty? If they should get their hands dirty, should democratic citizens blame them and punish them for their dirty hands? If politicians should not get their hands dirty, can they be effective political actors, or is the lesson to avoid politics?

Note that a clear thesis must be defended, and must provide at least one argument in defense of the thesis; and must deal with at least one important objection.)

Must be based on the readings of one or all of the following: The prince by Machiavelli, The “Dirty Hands” play in No exit by Sarte, Kagan’s normative ethics chapters 2 “The good” and 3 ” Doing harm”, and Albert Camus “The Just Assassins” in Caligula and Three Other Plays, all of which I’ve attached.

For Camus i was unable to find a PDF but I was able to find this link: http://www.segnbora.com/justes/

Moreover, Kagan and Machiavelli books were too large to upload.

The meanings & differences between these political systems

/in /by

Be aware of the meanings & differences between these political systems: democracy (government by the people), autocracy ( government by a single individual), and oligarchy (government by the few).

I ask that you include the definition of democracy in your essay.

The following is not a subject that students discuss. Students do not write about whether Texas operates within a democratic republic, representative democracy, or indirect or direct democracy: all of these are democracies. That is not the point of this video assignment.

Rather, a student may frame her/his thesis in this way: if a student believes that Texas does operate as a democracy, then focus on a single idea and use primary and secondary research that supports your viewpoint that Texas does operate as a democracy.

On the other hand, a student may frame her/his thesis in this way: if a student believes that Texas does not operate as a democracy, then focus on a single idea and use primary and secondary research that supports your viewpoint that Texas does not operate as a democracy.
Structure your essay within four paragraphs: the 1st paragraph includes a hook and a strong thesis statement; 2nd and 3rd paragraphs are your arguments and they support your thesis; while the 4th paragraph provides a strong conclusion.
A student must use both primary and secondary research to support the thesis. Do not use popular magazines, Wikipedia, or other online encyclopedias.

Paragraph 1 includes a Thesis Statement: make sure that your thesis is placed into the first or second sentence of your first paragraph (points are deducted if not placed where required). A thesis provides your viewpoint and a mini-outline.

Paragraphs 2 and 3 Provide “The Arguments Which Are Supported By Research.” A student must use both primary and secondary research to support the thesis. If both primary and secondary research are not included, points are lost. To understand what are primary and secondary research, see the links below

Paragraph 4 Provides The Conclusion: the thesis viewpoint is tied to the primary & secondary research.
