NO WORK CITED PAGE NECESSARYPROMPTChoose any of the following angles or questions to write a thoughtful closing statement about happiness in a massively interlinked society of 8 billion people who all equally matter as much as the relatively few Americans . Out of the approximately 8 billion people, there are 331 million people in the USA (that’s like one-third of a billion), which makes us the third most populous nation in the world, says this article, which also notes some key demographic shifts to come in your lifetime: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/3-ways-that-the-u-s-population-will-change-over-the-next-decade#:~:text=The%20U.S.%20population%20today%2C%20at,just%20under%201.4%20billion%2C%20respectively (Links to an external site.).Since the global population is expected to grow to about 10 billion people within your lifespan, it seems urgent for you to consider how much you value happiness and opportunity for all people — not just for yourself, your family, or those who live in the USA. For all angles of approach here, consider what  you are willing to do to help others — and yourself — to a share of whatever you deem as true happiness. You don’t have to use Aristotle’s notion of virtues (the greater good) and the Golden Mean if you think you have a better definition or more workable system of happiness, but please do reflect on how serving mostly one’s own personal interest has led to “collapse” according to a number of our assigned authors throughout varying historical periods.• Given the possibility that your century is expected to see perhaps 20,000 years of change, what changes might you and your community make to contribute to greater happiness for yourself and others?• How is this pace or rate of change likely to impact or shape things you and your community care about?• How are your chances at personal and collective happiness helped or undermined by such an inevitable rate of change brought about by technological improvements and societal needs and demands?• What role do you personally have in ensuring the pursuit of happiness continues beyond your own personal interests?• What key facts about local, national, or global population or demographics suggest that things will get better, worse, or stay about the same for you, your community, or your nation?

An introduction that briefly outlines the issue along with the major arguments that define it (context and text) and makes a claim about what how importance of understanding the issue and/or proposes a course of action (thesis). This section should contain only one or two citations just for the sake of establishment of the issue and its importance. (200-300 words.)A brief causal history that establishes what factors either contributed or directly led to the issue becoming such (Causal Analysis). The purpose of this section is to place the issue in an historical context and demonstrate how the formation of the issue was the result of a series of factors that need to be addressed in varying degree. Most of the citations in this section will be mostly informative, mostly claims of fact. Think of this section as a summary of the issue’s emergence within a causal context, or how it came to be an issue. Any argumentative content in this section will relate to causal relationships. (250-300 words.)A literature review/methodology/rhetorical analysis that establishes how the paper or research project addressed the issue. Use of research methodologies, critiques of major arguments, or designation of prior work that circumscribes the particular focus of the final project’s thesis should be presented here. The degree and quantity of each of these concerns depends on the nature of project’s thesis, i.e.—if the thesis proposes a legislative change, then rhetorical analysis of arguments and data from established scientific research will be the only tools needed for this section; if, however, your own thesis is a claim of fact (scientific and/or social scientific), based on observations and previous studies,  then a methodology that outlines methods of inquiry, experimentation, data collection and interpretation will be necessary. This section provides the groundwork upon which the actual disputation, or argument, of the thesis can built. (350-400 words)Presentation of argument/counterargument of the thesis should occupy the major portion of the research paper. This section should fully address the specific stance that project took. It might include the full proposal of a legislative argument, or it might present the initial findings from primary research. Whichever it may be, this section serves the locus, or center, of the research project that fulfills the argument the thesis proposed in the introduction. It must clearly outline what its claims mean and how they are specific to the thesis. It must also address possible objections to its claims and demonstrate in what contexts such objections might be valid. It must also draw on sources that help create a logical argument backed by solid evidence and reasoning. (350-400 words)A conclusion that summarizes not only the issue but also the major points made throughout the paper. It must re-affirm the issue’s importance and include the reader in any call to action. It must also give the reader further thought, opening the particular context of the thesis back to the general subject from which it is derived, i.e.—re-establish how the thesis fits into the big picture. This section should not include presentation of new sources. (250-300 words)Research Requirements:The final project should have at least 10-12 sources to be considered minimally researched. Most of the sources can be drawn from general periodicals found in the databases or other venues. At least three sources have to be scholarly in nature. At least two sources have to be longer than 10 pages long. One source must be multi-media.

Assignment Description: A synthesized analysis of OthelloOthello is a rich tragedy, filled with intrigue and spite and horror. The many ideas and ideals explored by the play have not left the human experience in the 400 years since the first performance in London. In fact, these considerations are still some of the most important in human experience. In class, we have discussed some of the major themes Othello explores: Jealousy, Reputation, Identity, Loyalty, Friendship, Misogyny, Miscegenation, Sexuality, Social and Cultural Rules/Norms (among others). Synthesize a discussion of the play around two thematic aspects or understandings. This synthesis must include 3 things: the text of Othello, your own experience or understanding of the theme/idea under consideration, and the ideas of one or more critics of Shakespeare and Othello.This is a writing exercise meant as exploration, using your own background knowledge and understanding of the world, along with the text of Othello. Integrate three aspects of writing- literary analysis, integration of outside texts and personal writing.Explain how Iago uses his power of persuasion with Roderigo, Brabantio, and Othello to create his scheme to undo the Moor.
