Project 3 Written Argument Early Draft should be an 800-1000 word draft that a) educates an audience of non-engaged stakeholders about the issue or topic; b) engages the audience by convincing them that they should care about this issue or topic; and c) empowers the audience to take action in some way.

This draft should include a thesis, major points, and evidence to support these points, including in-text citations from appropriate sources, and a Works Cited page.

I have two stakeholders in my previous paper which you will choose one and write this paper about. I have attached the paper so you can have an idea of the background or argument of each stakeh

Hate Group

What criteria should be present in order for a group to be considered a “hate” group or a terrorist organization? Is it proper to label a group as a “hate” group simply because its members advocate a political opinion? What if the group does not itself engage in violence but supports another that does through fund-raising or recruiting?

In your classroom reading this week, you learned that the FBI considers the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) to be a domestic terror organization. Do you agree with this assessment? Why or why not? In order to discuss this question, you will need to research the ALF’s activities as well as the FBI’s position.

Recent years have seen a rise in domestic terror incidents. Fortunately, many of them have been interrupted before any damage was done, such as the attempted bombing in New York’s Times Square. These incidents have brought attention to the difficulty of identifying potential individual terrorists. Most recently, a group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has been recruiting individuals from western countries, including the United States, to join their fight. Officials are concerned that in addition to recruiting people to travel to the Middle East to join their fight, ISIS might be persuading Americans to commit acts of terror at home.

For this final part of the week’s discussion, examine the methods that ISIS uses to gain new recruits. Are any particular people more vulnerable to being recruited? Why do people living comfortable, safe lives in America and other western countries volunteer to give up those comforts in order to travel to Syria to fight for this group? What can be done to prevent the ISIS and other radical groups from recruiting new members?

Thinking back on the last few months, consider a time when you encountered a friend or business associate who promised or agreed to do something but did not follow through. For example, did someone agree to sell you something but at the last minute changed the price? Or did someone agree to perform a service, but then later said he or she was too busy?

Relate the facts of your example. Then, based on the materials in the reading and lecture, explain why the facts you presented did or did not meet the legal requirements for a contract. Be sure to support your response.

1.Even without television advertising and Press Secretaries, ancient Near Eastern rulers did a fine job of self-promotion. Which examples of art do you feel best communicated the rulers’ power to their people? What leadership qualities did they present in their imagery?

2.In this chapter we have depictions of gods along with humans. Use examples from the chapter to explain how works of art embody the different and varied roles of humans and their gods within the ancient near east.

3.Your textbook mentions that many world religions employ buildings that reach up into the sky, illustrating their belief that deities inhabit the heavens. What other purpose may lie behind the interest in building large religious structures? Pick two examples and relate them in terms of their physical form and their function within society. (Compare and contrast the formal strategies. Identify the features their architecture share.
Explain the significance of scale and height in the art and architecture.

4.Let’s think about geography and technology and art. How is the frequent political instability visible in ancient Near Eastern art and architecture? Describe at least three different building technologies employed by architects working in the ancient Near East.

5.Take a moment to think about what life must have been like before cuneiform writing first recorded such mundane information as trade records and bureaucratic documents. Why do you think these routine documents had such a profound impact on early civilizations? How does writing influence our understanding and interpretation of the art in this chapter? Pick an exemplary work of art that displays this relation between text and image.

One misconception is that naturalism in depicting the human form is evidence of a more advanced civilization. Even though the Standard of Ur shows rather stylized and un-naturalistic depictions of the human figure, argue for its indication of an advanced civilization based on the conventions utilized within it. What do you think is the most important development in visual communication within the artwork?
After the discovery of the Royal Cemetery in the 1920’s and the uncovering of nearby monuments, there was a flood of interest in the near-east and a complete rethinking of the culture and time period. Previously ancient Egypt was thought to be the oldest advanced civilization and now that honor belonged to the Sumerians.

1. Find the website on at the Metropolitan Museum in New York titled “ART OF THE FIRST CITIES”. http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/trdm/hd_trdm.htm
   Then take a look at the British Museum’s virtual exhibition of Ancient Near Eastern art. Currently this I found by clicking on the explore then galleries tab from the top toolbar of the website and scrolling down to the middle east. What are the most useful aspects of each website? If you were in charge of web development, what would you develop? Briefly outline a resource that you think would be helpful for students of art history for this chapter.

1. What are pteropods? How will ocean acidification affect them and why is it important for oceans?

2. What changes occurred the last time the oceans acidified (65 million years ago) (? (Dr. Caldeira discusses this). What percent of GDP would be lost by addressing the carbon problem?

3. What technology is being used by Norway to generate energy without releasing CO₂?

4. How is Google going solar? How much power are they generating?

5. What does the film have to say about the occurrence of songs/singing in nature (the evolutionary selection of song/singing)? Why was the singing of humpback whales important for the moratorium on commercial whaling by the IWC?

6 If you were the USA government (its current policy is to end whaling), how would you entice, embarrass, harass, coerce or otherwise convince other counties to reject whaling? (there is no wrong answer to this, and I’m not saying its the “correct” policy. I’m only curious. Just be somewhat thoughtful).
