Resreach Paper

Each student will write a research paper with a policy focus examining a specific social justice-related topic. The paper is to be scholarly in nature (i.e., not a ‘reflection’ paper). Students must incorporate at least 8 scholarly journal articles into the paper. Direct quotations are not allowed; however, students will need to paraphrase material. Paraphrasing requires proper APA citations. Students are not permitted to reuse any course work from a previous or current course for the purposes of this paper.

The purpose of this paper is not to specifically test knowledge, but to force critical thinking about a social justice issue. This paper should be no more than about 2,000 words (not including the cover page and references); however, it is expected to be a 7 to 8 page paper.

Integrated Marketing – Market Segments and Target Audiences

Product to use is the Lexus UX!

Marketing managers should not assume everyone wants their products. People have differences, and marketing managers will need to separate consumers into groups with similarities. This process not only helps marketers in creating appropriate messages, the grouping will help with forecasting and efficient use of limited budgets. There is an abundance of secondary information to support marketers when making segmenting decisions. A good understanding of variables and how they relate to a product is key to marketing management effective planning.

Using the same product (Lexus UX) selected in the Unit 1 Assignment, profile the market segments that should be targeted. Using the consumer decision-making process — provide a list of potential consumer steps that would be common when they consider using your chosen product. This Assignment should be 2–3 pages in length using APA format. Since you are using market data to describe your target markets, your sources must be cited and references.

Eng1101 essay

In a paper of three to five pages (minimum 650 words), create an argument that evaluates in a negative way essays, books, and/or web sites that advance ideas that most experts in the particular field believe to be false. In other words, you are making a fairly easy argument: what is the truth as most of the world knows it? E.g., There are people who, like Kyrie Irving and others lately somehow, will insist that the world is flat despite the fact that Twitter, as part of the Internet, is utterly dependent on GPS navigation satellites!

To complete the paper, you need at least one outside source. You must quote from this source directly, not just paraphrase/summarize it. Your goal is to show through a careful examination of causes and effects why these false ideas are clearly false despite being bandied about as true.

In short: Evaluate the claims being set out and show why they are fallacious. The idea in question should be utterly, absolutely, without question, ridiculous and false, not in any way up for debate. Perhaps comically so—there are people who believe that the Earth is hollow and that a whole race of beings live there; there are others who insist that the Apollo Moon landings were faked on a sound stage in Hollywood or that the Moon is made of green cheese. Other false ideas are more dangerous—there are many who believe that the Holocaust did not occur, that pseudoscience like “Intelligent Design” should be taught in science classes, or that AIDS was created in a laboratory to destroy groups of people deemed “unacceptable.” Your goal is to write a counter-argument that shows why these ideas are false. The more ridiculous the idea, the better—therefore, do not engage ideas that are being debated or that are not definitively settled—check with me first if you’re not sure about a potential topic.

Assignment 2: Combining Content, Argument, and Structure—The Workshop

The workplace has become increasingly diverse and global. This diversity has dramatically changed the dynamic of the workplace over the last 50 years. Regardless of race, ethnicity, and gender, people want to be treated fairly.

Research workplace harassment using the following resources:

Suppose you work for an organization that currently does not have an antiharassment policy. You are going to develop an antiharassment policy for the organization and persuade the CEO to adopt it. Create a PowerPoint presentation to convince the CEO of the need for such a policy. Use the speaker notes area to write explanations and arguments and to cite sources. Address the following in your presentation:

  1. What is the purpose of your proposed antiharassment policy?
  2. Why would implementing this policy be beneficial for the CEO? What’s in it for him or her?
  3. Why is it important to have such a policy in place? If the basic purpose is to stop harassing behavior, why is that important? Why is harassment detrimental to an organization?
  4. What is your communication plan? How should the CEO present the policy to the staff? What specific communication methods do you recommend, and what will the communication say?

Develop an eight- to ten-slide presentation in PowerPoint format. Apply APA standards where appropriate for references. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.ppt.

You must answer numbers 1 and 2. Then select and respond to #3 or 4. In all, you will have three questions answered.

All responses should in essay format with complete sentences and paragraphs. Be sure to provide evidence and examples to support your assertions. There is no specific page requirement; write as fully and completely as possible and until you have nothing more to say for each question. When appropriate, use as many references to course ideas and course material (i.e., film, documentaries, short stories, reading excerpts, class discussion/lectures). Only use texts that have been covered or assigned. Also, try not to double up on the use of texts too much. You want to demonstrate a good awareness of multiple readings/films. Less credit will be given if you reference the same text in multiple answers.

You must answer # 1 and 2

1.How does hubris play a part in the film Eight Men Out? Compare and contrast it with another one of the texts (either from the Best American Sports Writing text or one of the examples we viewed in class). How does the hubris in this story play out in comparison (similarities or differences) to Eight Men Out?

2.Read the article “Mourning Glory” (see the link below and also under “Midterm Exam” on our ULearn page). There are aspects of this story that can connect to Joseph Campbell’s explanation of “the hero’s journey.” Analyze the journey of the Williamsport High School baseball team and highlight some (not all 12) aspects that connect to Campbell’s definition. Also, make some connections or point out differences between this journey and the journey of the U.S. Women’s World Cup Soccer Team, as shown in the film Dare to Dream (links are under “Midterm Exam” on our Ulearn page). Focus on how these two stories have similar themes but present them in different ways. Be sure to use ideas and terms from the course.

Leadership is either formal or informal, and it is important to discover which one is a better fit for you as you grow in your career. Your company leaders are asking you to identify a specific leadership role that you would someday like to fill (e.g., Supervisor, Manager, Vice President, Individual Contributor, etc.). Once you have determined the type of leader you would like to become, create an action plan for your career to achieve such a position.

  • In order to successfully determine the type of leader you want to become, answer the following questions in one to two pages:
    • Would you describe yourself as a formal or informal leader (and explain traits you possess that would make you a successful formal or informal leader)?
    • What are some skills you should develop and tactics you should use to be an effective leader?
  • Create a one-page action plan that addresses the following questions:
    • Who will you work with as a mentor (just identify the position of a potential mentor) to help you grow into this leadership position and why?
    • What steps will you take to become the type of leader you want to be in your career and how will you achieve your action plan?
