Cyber Security (Would you give up your privacy for safer country)

After viewing the videos and commentary on the six cities, and the article on Lebanon, select one of these seven cities to research.  You will need to add to your knowledge by searching out articles and commentaries that further discuss the waste problem in “your” city.  Many good articles about these contemporary problems can be found in the New York Times and The Washington Post.  You can go to those sites and use their search engines to look for articles on “your” city and its waste problem.  You should also use other databases as well.  Even Google may help you find some good information.  Or try National Geographic. Or the databases at any library. Your essay on the waste problems of the city you choose should do all of the following: discuss the extent of the problem(s): its severity, its effects, etc. discuss the history (e.g. growth) of the city that has led to the severity of the waste problem(s) discuss the ways in which government officials are trying to deal with the waste problem(s) discuss the ways (if any) individuals are trying to deal with the waste problem(s) discuss the obstacles in the way of successfully dealing with the waste problem(s).  For example, are the incentives to change stronger than letting the waste conditions continue?  Who benefits or at least isn’t harmed by the waste problem(s)?  In other words, follow the money?  Who profits from so much waste? discuss how the waste problems of cities and countries are not isolated but related to the lifestyles and actions of other people in other cities and countries. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/world/global-waste/?utm_term=.7a69b52c9245 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Two and a half pages 12 point font Double spaced This week we are continuing on Essay 3.  It will be based on the essay, “What Life Asks of Us” by David Brooks.  Last week we wrote a list summary, then a paragraph summary, and then a brief response.   First, a little background: Brooks says there are two ways of approaching life, as an institutional person, or as an individual.  He says both are ok, but he sees institutional thinking on the decline.  An institutional person might be connected to family, or religion, or profession, or organizations.  An individual thinker is a go-your-own-way type of person.  Institutions pass information and skills and rules down from one generation to the next.  But individualists don’t always feel beholden to those past rules.  Do you see yourself as an institutional type of person or a free thinker?  You’d want an accountant to be institutional, but an artist to be an individualist.  Then, the question: “Which approach to life discussed by David Brooks do you think is better suited to you as a person.  Think of institutions you have belonged to and how they have affected you.  These might serve as examples to develop your essay. Your essay should contain: 1. An Introduction with background information, a main idea that answers the question, and key points that would help you to focus, structure, and develop your response. 2. A clear, complete, accurate paragraph summary of Brooks’ essay, “What Life Asks of Us.”  This should be your second paragraph. 3. Body paragraphs that develop your theme or key points. 4. A conclusion. Your impression is your main idea, always.  That’s very important.  “Impression,” here, is just another word for main idea.  William Raspberry’s impression of college majors is that they don’t matter that much.  Someone else might have a different impression, might disagree with Raspberry.  Lynda Barry’s impression of school is that it is important for kids from troubled homes and should be properly funded.  Again, someone else might have a completely different impression.  The main idea will be what your paper is about.  It will help you to focus your essay. Your main idea and key points will go in your introduction, with one more important element: Background information.  This is extremely important because it allows the reader to understand the context of what is going on. When you have your introduction, develop your key points into paragraphs.  Use a topic sentence to focus each paragraph on a specific point.  Use examples and short stories–anecdotes–to develop your body paragraphs.  Give details and description of people and places.   When you have developed the body paragraphs–and I’m not certain how many you will have, end the essay with a conclusion.   Edit.  First, check for content.  Make sure everything belongs there and that the paper is focused on what the main idea says it is about.  Then, check for paragraphs.  Make sure you have paragraphs, and that they are focused on the information in the topic sentence.  Finally, read over each sentence carefully.  Make sure they are complete thoughts.  Make sure they are clear.  Read one sentence at a time.  Check as well for minor “surface” errors,  spelling, commas, subject/verb agreement, verb tense, things that slip through.  Also check for using using the same word using the same word twice.  Also, check for repetition and edit to eliminate repetition.  In that last sentence, switch the second “repetition” to “it.”

Think about going to live and work in another country. Discuss where you would go and what you would do for living there?

ALICE WALKER: EVERYDAY USE Compose an analytical essay of at least 1,200 words in which you offer an interpretation of a literary element in one of the assigned short stories. Write your analysis focusing on one of the following elements in one of the assigned stories: Character Theme Symbolism Imagery Setting Start by selecting one of the short stories assigned by your instructor. Brainstorm to identify the literary element that you would like to explore in the story. Choose from character, theme, symbolism, imagery, or setting. Then, develop a thesis that offers a specific interpretation of this element. If you have trouble coming up with a thesis, contact your instructor, who will help you. Do not do any outside research at this point. When finished, the draft should be at least 1,200 words (approximately four double-spaced pages). Use APA formatting and citations. NOTE: Your instructor may allow you to combine two literary elements in your thesis statement if they work together to support your point. Also, your instructor may allow you to compare or contrast some element in two of the assigned stories (e.g., the grandmother characters in “A Worn Path” and “A Good Man Is Hard to Find”). Ask for approval before beginning one of these approaches.  Tips for the Essay Open your introduction with an engaging opener, such as a question, quote from the story, or interesting idea. Then, connect to the short story and mention the title and the author. End your introduction with a thesis statement that interprets a literary element of the story. The body paragraphs should support your thesis. Present specific aspects of the short story that help to illustrate your points. Make sure to quote from the story and analyze specific lines that support your argument. Body paragraphs typically have at least two short quotations each as supporting evidence. Include a strong concluding paragraph that summarizes your main points and explains the significance of the thesis. Finish this paragraph with a strong and satisfying ending. APA Reminder Use APA style for formatting the essay and for source citations. Begin with a title page and use proper font and spacing. End with a separate references page.
