One conservative argument against Medicare andSocial Securitystates that calling these programs “entitlement programs” is a misnomer and that they are actually the biggest income redistribution programs from the rich to the poor in the United States. Other conservatives state that stronger entitlement programs are nothing more than schemes for younger taxpayers to fund retirees. Proponents argue that Social Security benefits matter in the overall federal deficit reduction, and still others support privatization as the key to stabilizing the troubled system.

In a four- to five-page paper, address the following federal and state issues with entitlement programs:

  1. Are Social Security taxes a good investment?
  2. Evaluate the current funding process for Social Security and Medicare.
  3. In looking through the National budget entitlement programs such as Medicare and Medicaid represent the biggest threat to the U.S. budget deficit. What reforms do you suggest to help avoid an unsustainable increase to the debt?
  4. Do you think the federal government should increase spending on Social Security and Medicare for the elderly? If not, should the elderly fund retirement and medical costs?
  5. Do you believe government efforts to manage Social Security and Medicaid has made things worse or better? Provide research support for your position (in the summary of the paper).
  6. Discuss your recommendations to deal with the rising costs of Social Security and Medicare as well as the Welfare Reform Act of 1996.

Overview

We know that stakeholder organizations use various website elements and techniques such as media (images, videos, infographics, photographs, graphics, etc.), text, color, organization of content and pages, links and supporting evidence, etc.), to move their target audience toward their desired purpose (to inform, persuade, entertain, take a specific action, or a combination of purposes). When we analyze a stakeholder’s website, we critically interpret, explain, and evaluate what we see. The process of critically interpreting and evaluating a stakeholder’s website means determining how the stakeholder attempts to align and support its goal (interests, mission, and/or message) through its website elements and techniques.

Skills & Strategies

This Part 2 Assignment will help you to

  • build on the preliminary response analysis developed in Part 1
  • identify a stakeholder’s desired purpose and goals
  • interpret, explain, and evaluate how stakeholder organizations use various website elements and techniques to move their target audience toward their desired purpose and goal

Description

By completing your Part 1 Preliminary Response, you’ve used your observational skills in identifying what you see as the stakeholder’s purpose and goal, intended audience, and tone, and you have pointed to and described the stakeholder’s use of media, evidence, and content organization. Now you are ready, in Part 2, to advance your analysis by writing your intermediate Project 2 draft.

This Part 2 assignment asks you (1) to interpret your observations by explaining and evaluating how the stakeholder organization uses the website elements and techniques you addressed in Part 1 to move its intended audience toward its desired purpose and goal and (2) to analyze how well these website elements and techniques accomplish this objective. To narrow the focus of your 1,000 – 1,200-word intermediate essay, you will choose 4-6 elements and/or techniques that are complex enough to spend an entire essay analyzing.

In your analysis, you will identify the stakeholder’s desired purpose and website choices (elements and techniques), consider the stakeholder’s possible intentions in making these choices, and provide explanations and evidence to support your evaluation of the stakeholder’s effectiveness in using these website elements and techniques to move its intended audience toward its desired purpose and goal.

In addition to drawing evidence from the website (your primary source), use two sources from Project 1, your textbook, or from additional research to support your analysis.

Step-by-Step

The following steps will help you to further develop your Part 2 Intermediate Draft:

  1. Begin with a creative title that reflects your analysis of the stakeholder’s website.
  2. Your introduction should identify the stakeholder organization that addresses the selected topic you’ve been exploring, the stakeholder’s intended audience, desired purpose (e.g., to inform, persuade, entertain, take a specific action, or a combination of purposes), and goals (e.g., interests, mission, and/or message), the 4-6 elements and techniques you will include in your analysis, and your thesis: the one or two sentences that evaluate the stakeholder’s effectiveness in using the website elements and techniques to move its intended audience toward its desired purpose and goal.
  3. Organize the body of your analysis into key elements and techniques. Introduce each key element and technique with a topic sentence that explains and evaluates how well the stakeholder organization uses the element/technique toward its desired purpose and goal. Describe the element/technique, and consider the stakeholder’s possible intention in using this element/technique. Follow each topic sentence with supporting evidence from the website to support your claim. Should you determine a stakeholder’s use of a website element/technique does not effectively move its intended audience toward its desired purpose and goal, suggest the ways in which this stakeholder’s choice might have been more effective. Additionally, integrate appropriate evidence from your 2 sources as it applies.
  4. Be sure to use clear transitions as you introduce key elements and techniques.
  5. Provide source citations according to the required guidelines.
  6. Write a conclusion to your analysis that highlights your main points, including the thesis and major claims from the body paragraphs. You should end your conclusion with realistic forward thinking ideas about how your analysis of the stakeholder’s website might demonstrate any possibilities for future research/action.
  7. Proofread your Part 2 analysis.

Helpful Hints

  1. Balance your analysis so that you are interpreting what you see by explaining and evaluating how the stakeholder organization uses the website elements and techniques to move its intended audience toward its desired purpose and goal AND demonstrating how well these website elements and techniques accomplish this objective.
  2. Review the topic sentences of each paragraph to be sure that they link back to your thesis and demonstrate a logical progression of ideas and evidence from beginning to end.

Review the Power Point for Aristotle’s Poetics.

Pay particular attention to the order in which the importance of play constructions is spelled out by the ancient Greek teacher. The order of Poetics and their six part structure could not have been any more important for Aristotle.

Over the centuries that the essay has been written, many playwrights and storytellers have broken from this method of play structure but you can always see the six elements within any story when we look. This includes television and film.

It is important that we begin to see how film, Theatre and TV, tend to fall into categories that help us engage with that storytelling medium. As we move through the course of our semester we will see how understanding Genre, Style and Poetics as an approach help us gain a fuller insight into what our film-makers, play-makers and storytellers want to us receive and react to when they tell their stories. In this way tragedy, cultural background, sociopolitical, class, race, relationship issues can be raised and addressed in a clearer way.

For this exercise you are to choose a favorite film of yours and decide how that movie is arranged with the main six categories that Aristotle gives us. Why does this movies fall within its specific category? What about the nature of the storytelling tells you that this movie is a plot driven movie, a character driven movie, an idea movie, a story that is about the language, a story that is rooted and driven with music or a story that is driven by its spectacle.

Make sure you answer ALL parts of the question, and BE SPECIFIC!! Minimum 200 words.
