The changes reflect changes in American cultural values

/in /by

According to your analysis of the ads, what do the advertisements suggest are required to have a good life? What specific American values and/ or desires is the company appealing to in their advertisements, and have their appeals changed over time? If not, why might they have stayed the same over time? If so, how might the changes reflect changes in American cultural values?
Organization:
This paper must include a full introduction paragraph that begins with a hook, introduces the topic (the company being analyzed), and the thesis and essay map. After the introduction, the paper must include multiple body paragraphs that follow the AXES; in each body paragraph, quotes (if the ads have words) and descriptions of the ads must be integrated to support the student’s claims. Each body paragraph should contain at least one quote or detailed description of the ads, and each must be cited! The paper must wrap up with a conclusion paragraph.

The best way to approach this paper’s organization is to explore the ads chronologically; this means you will likely have two to three body paragraphs on the old ads, followed by two to three body paragraphs on the new ads. Remember: compare the ads based on a shared theme to determine if the message has changed. Give equal attention to all four ads.

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.

This term paper is for a course on International Law with regards to Self Determination. The paper does not have to be an ‘A’ grade paper but I would like it to be at least a ‘B/B+’ grade. Thank you.

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.

Chronology of negotiation

/in /by

The quality of the analysis in a project is more important than the topic itself. Select a topic you find personally interesting. It is always easier to produce a good project on an atopic you find exciting and relevant. As with the individual papers, team projects should emphasize analysis rather than description or chronology of negotiation (which could be provided in an appendix). You will need to do some outside research for your analysis. You should always cite your sources in the paper and provide a reference section listing all sources. If you do interviews, you should turn in copies of interview questions. If you write a survey you will need to turn in copies of the survey.

Ethics for human and social services

/in /by

As you explored, ethical dilemmas are referred to as such because they involve conflicting values and are not easy to resolve. Furthermore, ethical standards and codes do not often give prescriptive advice for specific situations. For these situations, it is useful to employ ethical decision-making models. These models are frameworks that provide sequential steps to guide your research, thinking, and actions regarding dilemmas you may face.

Your course text presents one ethical decision-making model in detail, but it mentions several others. In your current or future roles as a human and social services professional, the organization for which you work may have adopted models they wish you to use, or you may be free to choose your own. As you become more familiar with the models available, you may wish to select models that closely align with your professional values and perspectives. Finally, remember that when you make ethical decisions in your professional practice, clients should be included in this process whenever possible.

For this Assignment, you apply the ethical decision-making model in your course text to a specific event or issue relevant to working within a family system.

To Prepare:

Select a current event or issue related to ethics for human and social services professionals working within a family system. It is not necessary to select an issue for this Assignment that contains cultural elements, although you may if you wish.
Review the “Ethical Decision Making Model” found in Chapter 3 of your course text Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions. Consider how you would apply this model to the event or issue you selected. If your selected issue does contain cultural elements, you may consider applying the transcultural integrative ethical decision-making model discussed in the article “A Transcultural Integrative Model for Ethical Decision Making in Counseling.”

Using the ethical decision-making model, write a paper in which you:

Describe your selected ethical event or issue related to working within a family system. Be concise yet specific about the ethical issues present.
Explain how you, as a professional, would resolve the dilemma using the steps of the ethical decision-making model. Use the NOHS standards as your relevant code of ethics to clarify the dilemma. For the step regarding consultation, explain what type of professional(s) you would need to contact for consultation
