literary analyses essay

/in /by

Literary analyses are
essays in which we examine literary texts closely to understand their messages,
and interpret their meanings, and appreciate their writers’ techniques”
(Bullock, Brody, and Weinberg 62). In a traditional literary analysis, you
respond to a poem, novel, play, or short story. That response can be
analytical, looking at them, plot, structure, characters, genre, style, and so
on. Or it can be critical, theoretical, or evaluative—locating works within
their social, political, historic, and even philosophic neighborhoods. Or you
might approach a literary work expressively, describing how you connect with it
intellectually and emotionally. Or you can combine these approaches or imagine
alternative ones—perhaps reflecting new attitudes and assumptions about media.
Other potential genres for analysis include films, TV offerings, popular music,
comic books and games.

  • Gerald Graff begins his essay with the view that we generally associate “book smarts” with intellectualism and “street smarts” with anti-intellectualism. Graff then provides an extended example from his early life to counter this viewpoint. What do you think of his argument that boyhood conversations about sports provided a solid foundation for his later intellectual life? What support does he provide, and how persuasive is it?

Critical Summary Analysis Essay

/in /by

Summary: Your first paragraph should contain both a brief introduction to the article as well as your summary of the article. Your summary should immediately follow your introduction; in other words, your first paragraph, if standing alone, would essentially be an annotation of the article. Your summary should include identifying the publication context as well as the author.

Analysis: The next 2-3 paragraphs of your essay should be a critical analysis of that article. In other words, you will use rigorous, thoughtful, detailed analysis to examine and critique this article. Analysis happens when you break a text, object, or system down into its constituent parts and examine how those parts work together. So your task is to identify the article’s main purpose, carefully explore how the article works to achieve that purpose, and assess how well it does so. What aspects of the article are effective, and how so? What is less effective, or less convincing, and why? Be as specific as possible not only to illuminate various aspects of the article for your reader, but to show them what particularly about the article made your respond the way you did.

Essay should be 400-600 words in length, and should contain at least four well-organized paragraphs. Student name, assignment title, class number, instructor’s name, and the date should appear on the upper left corner of the first page (the first page header). You should also include a “Works Cited” page that provides the bibliographical information about your article.

POINTERS:

  • Perform all the necessary steps.
  • Be both general and specific. When summarizing, one naturally must be general. But when analyzing, one must be as specific as possible. Summarize, paraphrase, and quote specific moments from the article. Always follow your paraphrases and quotations with analysis.
  • Don’t hold yourself accountable for every minute aspect of the article.Your analysis is not expected to account for every single word or sentence of the article. It’s more important to carefully select textual evidence to support your particular critique. Your analysis should both examine and assess the article’s notable features, the author’s key “moves,” and finished product’s successes and failures—those that that YOU deem significant.
  • During your “prewriting” or “invention” stage of drafting, be sure you step back and allow yourself to describe the article to yourself before you attempt to analyze it. Composing a reverse outline will help you to get a mental “snapshot” of the article and digest both its content and its organization before you begin writing your formal essay.
  • You also should attempt to objectively analyze the article before you begin writing your critique. What decisions does the author make? How is the article organized? Does it use examples? Subheadings? To what effect? How does the author use information, rhetoric, and organization to make his or her point?

Ethical dilemma 7 to 10 pages of content

/in /by

Needs to be 7 to 10 pages with 8 to 10 supporting in text citations and 8 to 10 references.  I did the abstract and there needs to be an intro page and all of the questions have to be answered. Need supporting evidence for and against.  The scenario I am using is below as well

The Ethical Dilemma Paper (due at the end of Unit 7) should focus on a real-life example from your own work. This should be a true ethical dilemma for you –not a simple black & white decision, not a decision that your client or a colleague has to make, and not something prescribed by your supervisor or agency.

An ethical dilemma is where you are making a decision about your own course of action, in a situation of great moral/ethical ambiguity, often including unavoidable conflicts between important values.

One of the most important aspects of the assignment is to make sure that the problem that you come up with is actually a true ethical dilemma.  Many students come up with examples that are ethical problems, but not ethical dilemmas.  One of the keys to recognizing whether or not a problem is truly an ethical dilemma has to do with the level of moral ambiguity.  Ethical dilemmas are high in moral ambiguity.  Let me point you to two sections in the text that may be of some help.  On pages 59-60, Linzer discusses the concept of “moral traces”.  He states: “The concept ‘moral traces’ refers to the consequences of having chosen one path, as opposed to the other path in an ethical dilemma.  Since both choices are ethical, the decision to act on one creates the feeling of having violated the other.  There is no winner in ethical decision making” (p. 60 italics added).  One of the observations that Dr. Linzer made in his lectures was that in a true ethical dilemma you never know whether or not you made the “right” decision because both arguments are compelling and you will never know the outcome of the option that you did not choose and you will always wonder if you make the right decision.  That is the “moral trace”.

The second section that you should read is on pages 204 to 207.  Linzer notes: “In circumstances pervaded by ethical ambiguity, the key is to acknowledge the complexity of the issues and the pull of contradictory moral imperatives” (p. 205).  Read that section and if you want to be sure that your scenario is a true ethical dilemma you can check with me.  I don’t want you to spend a lot of time developing and writing the paper only for me to tell you that it is not an ethical dilemma.  It is much easier if you have any doubts to contact me directly and describe the scenario.  And remember, in an ethical dilemma it is you and not the client who has to make the decision.

 When writing your paper, please follow this outline:

1.  Briefly describe your agency’s services and setting.

2.  Present a conflict situation from your own human service work that involves any number of parties, including yourself (you must be a part of the conflict/dilemma), the client, the family, the agency, the board, the funding agency, etc.  Summarize the conflict in one paragraph.

3.  Clearly state the ethical dilemma.  Discuss what makes this an ethical dilemma.  It would be excellent if you can identify the values that are in conflict (For more on this please see the mini-lecture on Beauchamp and Childress). Analyze the conflict from the value perspective of each of the parties.  (You could use Levy’s classification of values to do this.)

4.  Offer your resolution of this dilemma and the reasoning behind your decision.  Your decision should be theoretically justified.  (You cannot simply say that I decided to do this based on my own personal values.) Be sure to substantiate your rationale with the relevant literature.

Abstract

Throughout the career of any individual working in the human services field they are bound to be confronted with some type of ethical dilemma.  An ethical dilemma can be defined as any situation that presents choices and behaviors considered disagreeable to the decision maker based on the potential negative consequences.  Because there are unwanted consequences no matter what choice is made, it makes difficult the decision maker to make a clear cut decision of what is the right or wrong course of action.  The following will be a presentation of such a dilemma. A discussion will be made as to what makes this scenario an ethical dilemma, along with analyzing of the dilemma, resolution and reasoning behind the final decision to be made.   

The agency that I worked for provided services for behaviorally challenged children and served families and children who have found themselves in crisis due to substance abuse, mental health issues or other debilitating issues (Holy Family Institute, 2014). The children in this program were generally housed with this agency under the direction of Children Protective Services and/or Juvenile Justice.  This program also provided family programs to assist those families that were having difficulties with neglect, poverty and abuse.   Direct care and oversight was given to these children 24 hours 7 days a week while residing at the facility.  Many of these children attended school on the facilities main campus however many were afforded the privileged of attending school off facility grounds in their own school districts. 

Scenerio:  I am employed at an adolescent facility.  I have been assigned the girls unit.  Upon their return from school the girls are sitting in the main room discussing their day at school.  One of he girls discloses to the other girls that she is attracted to one of the clients on the boys unit.  I am concerned of her interest in this particular boy because he is diagnosed with HIV.  I pull the girl into the office to discuss the relationship she has with this particular boy.  She discloses to me that they were in fact sexually active and she has on occasion had sexual intercourse with him without condoms.  My concern is that this young girl may have been unknowingly infected with HIV.  Because of HIPPA laws and the confidentiality I am unable to disclose to the client that she may have been infected.  Later I conduct a meeting with the male client.  He reminds me that confidentiality forbids me from disclosing his medical condition.  My dilemma is whether or not I disclose to the girl and her parents that she may have been exposed to HIV.

Answer the three case questions

/in /by

Adams was assigned to develop a human resource plan that would meet the imposed staff levels for the entire base while ensuring that the base was still able to perform the operational tasks it had been given. Faced with this daunting task, Adams conducted an extensive review of all of the relevant orders concerning the base transformation, and he familiarized himself with all of the rules concerning the early-retirement program. after a series of initial meetings with the other base branch chiefs, he laid out a plan that could be accomplished by the established deadlines. at the same time, he chaired a number of meetings with his own staff about how to meet the mandated reductions within his own branch. after considering the target figures for the early-retirement program, it was clear that the mandated numbers could not be reached. Simply allowing everyone who had applied for early retirement to leave was not considered an option because doing so would devastate entire sections of the base. More job cuts were required, and choices had to be made as to who would stay, why, and in what areas. Adams met stiff resistance in the meetings to determine what sections would bear the brunt of the additional cutbacks. Adams conducted his own independent analysis of his own branch before consulting with his staff. Based on his thorough examination of the data, he mandated further reductions in his sections. Specifically targeted were personnel in base housing, single-person accommodations, family services, and recreational sections. he also mandated a further 10% cut of military positions in his sections. after meeting the mandated reduction targets, Lieutenant colonel Adams was informed that the federal government would accept all personnel who applied for early retirement, which was an unexpected decision. When superimposed on the already mandated reductions, this move caused critical shortages in key areas. Within weeks of implementation of the plan, the base commander was receiving mounting complaints from both civilian and military members over the implementation of the plan. incidents of stress, frustration, and discontent rose dramatically. Families trying to move found support services cut back or nonexistent. Members of the transition staff were forced to work evenings and weekends. Family support services were swamped and asking for additional help. despite spending a large amount of overtime trying to address the diverse issues both base-wide and within his branch, Adams found himself struggling to keep his head above water. To make matters worse, the base was having difficulty meeting its operational mission, and vital sections were critically understaffed. The base commander wanted answers. When pressed, Adams stated that his plan met all of the required deadlines and targets, and the plan conformed to all of the guidelines of the early retirement programs. “Maybe so,” replied the base commander, “but you forgot about the bigger picture.”

Questions

1. Based on the skills model, how would you assess Lt. col. John Adams’s ability to meet the challenges of the base administration position? 2. how would you assess his ability to meet the additional tasks he faced regarding the conversion of the base? 3. if you were to coach Adams on how he could improve his leadership, what would you tell him?
