Description Write an original research paper thesis (identified as such) and associated keyword, description of the specific site, and a synopsis of the projects. Your proposal should identify a specific site (a website, a hashtag, a television episode, a small photography series, or ...) and a focused thesis so that we can best support your project. Please see the pinned description of a thesis. I have listed full instructions but the bold is all I need. Please remember that the site that you identify will remain the object of analysis for the paper The research paper must be at least 5 full pages and numbered (6 with the required cover sheet) and no longer than 10 pages. They should be double-spaced using Times New Roman 12, one-inch borders, and no long or block quotes. Papers should employ at least seven academic sources, including at least five academic sources not in the syllabus. At least one of your academic sources not in the syllabus should come from the journals listed below.At least one of your academic sources not in the syllabus should come from the following journals that are available through the Tulane ejournals and that offer excellent texts on our areas of examination: Feminist Media Histories Feminist Media Studies Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies Information, Communication & Society New Media & Society Television & New Media Instructions: Research a hashtag or other social media intervention that conveys a particular position on the body. You should define the key term in your research project while maintaining a focused thesis. Remember to provide particular quotes and brief descriptions of this social media practice as they are related to the aspect of the body that you are studying. Make sure that you have a well-constructed argument about this media text and provide a thesis and detailed analysis rather than briefly discussing many topics. You should also use a variety of academic research sources to support your argument and explain how the body is portrayed. Paper assessment: Course Goals and Learning Outcomes: i. Critically understand conceptions of the body and related theories. ii. Upon completion of the course, students will research a communication topic, form, or theme from a variety of perspectives or levels of analysis and present the results in a coherent, effective, and meaningful form. Your paper will be assessed on how it meets the learning outcomes and assignment (correct number of pages, correct font and other formatting expectations, correct citation practices, correct number of academic citations). Your paper will also be assessed based on the following successful practices: Well-crafted thesis Good use of citations Thoughtful analysis throughout Successful use of textual analysis Effective organization of paragraphs and ideas Academic literature is well organized and incorporated into arguments Referenced authors are used to develop ideas and textual analysis Your paper will also be assessed based on characteristics that can be improved. Reading these criteria while writing your paper may help you to improve it: Confusing or missing thesis Did not address suggestions made on proposal Not enough academic citations or citations are of a poor quality (thesis, proceedings, and random online material instead of published journal articles and books from scholars with PhDs). Quotations should be brief and employed to extend your argument Academic literature could be better organized and incorporated into arguments Develop argument beyond that of referenced author Check correct formatting for citations Typos, grammatical errors, and awkward or confusing sentence construction Avoid repeating same argument Remember to connect arguments and ideas and focus on a few examples Does not meet page limit A successful research paper is organized and offers clear indications of your subject and argument. Your paper should include the following components in the order outlined: 1. A cover page with the paper title and the same thesis that is stated in the research paper. 2. An opening paragraph or two where you describe the site as it relates to your argument and introduce your thesis. A thesis is the focused main research paper argument and should not include disparate elements or a list of ideas. 3. Two or three paragraphs where you outline and connect the critical literature on the topic. This “literature review” should include brief mentions of or notations about how it relates to your site of examination and argument. These referenced academic texts can be on the same site as your research study (research on eBay would cite the scholarship on eBay). It can also be literature on the critical concept you are examining (research on community would cite the scholarship on community). There does not have to be scholarship on your exact site or idea. You can critically engage scholarship or use a section of an article to develop your idea. 4. A series of paragraphs where you develop but do not repeat your arguments. These paragraphs should employ close reading and academic literature as a means of supporting your thesis. They should develop the idea in a connected and organized fashion.
Description Assignment 4: IDEAs: Due Sunday 11:59 pm (EST) Last week you narrowed your list to a specific few topics and you created brief elevator speeches designed to elicit feedback from your colleagues as to the feasibility of each prospective topic. For this week and with everyone’s feedback in hand, consider if you want to keep, dismiss, or modify any of those topics. For each one, create an IDEA paper. See attached for a sample IDEA paper from a different course and note the headings and description for each section (below). In a separate document for each topic, create corresponding IDEA papers that are about the length you see in the sample. - Title: This is a direct, engaging, and representative title, typically not more than 10-15 words. - Problem Statement: This is likely to be the largest section, potentially taking up to half of your paper. The first sentence should immediately grasp the reader's attention. Tell your audience immediately the core component driving the potential study. The rest of the first paragraph should be a balance of basic reference material supporting your assertion that what you said in the first sentence really matters. You will then use another one or two paragraphs to go into some more depth about the topic with the perspective that you need to convince your reader that this is an important topic. Keep in mind that this isn't intended to be a comprehensive literature review--just a highlight of the main points with perhaps a small bit of historical context. In a full research proposal, what you are putting in this section now will transform into a comprehensive literature review. - Project Goals: This section should be an itemized list of goals for the project. You are conveying to your reader what you hope to get out of the process of potentially conducting a study on this topic. If you can only come up with one goal, you probably haven't thought enough about the topic (or it's a poor topic and you should consider revising it). If you are identifying more than five or so goals, you might think about combining goals that are similar or removing goals that might be valid, but not necessarily helpful for the vision you are laying out for this potential study. When you transition to a full research proposal, these goals can be used to help guide the formal development of research questions and hypotheses. - Relevance / Significance: Elaborating on the "why should I care" points for your reader in this section and speak to how your itemized goals relate to a real-world issue or concern. This should be about one, and not more than two paragraphs at most. - Research Approach: This section is a brief statement that is likely to be a paragraph at most that details how you might go about conducting a study on the topic you are writing about and with the goals you indicated. This is not intended to be a comprehensive overview of an entire sampling procedure and research methodology-- its purpose is to quickly explore opportunities to conduct this potential research. If you cannot identify a research approach that seems valid and feasible now, consider how difficult it will be to develop specific, objective, and measurable goals in the formal research proposal.

Description there are 2 examples of 2 students giving there opinions in regards to the questions What are some examples of unlawful questions? Why are they considered unlawful? If asked an unlawful question, what is the best way to respond? Please respond to each student supporting their discussion stating if you agree and please use citation and a reference for response in APA format. response should be 4-5 sentence for each response. student 1.Unlawful questions are questions that are illegal to ask during an interview. One example of an unlawful question is asking someone "where are you from?" (Yale University N.D.). Another example of an unlawful question is asking some one "what race are you" (Beebe & Mottet, 2013). As an interviewer it's important to be mindful of these types of questions. These types of questions are considered unlawful because they may come off as bias. Not only that but everyone knows it's illegal to discriminate during the hiring process for race, age, gender, etc. If someone didn't get the job and felt it was in wrong doing they can use unlawful questions asked in the interview against the company. If asked an unlawful question I think it's important to determine why you may have been asked the question. Sometimes you may be in good conversation with the interviewer and they ask you personal questions based off of the topic of conversation. In this case, I would say it's ok to answer as long as you're ok with doing so. However if this is a question that was brought up out of the blue I think asking the interview the purpose of the question would be in your best interest. student 2. Unlawful questions are any questions that lean toward discrimination of applicant based on race, ethnicity, sex / gender identification, age, or disability. Unlawful questions not only can bring on discrimination, but could be interpreted as disrespectful and problematic. Examples of unlawful questions can seem very simple but show some bias. For age, these examples may seem innocent but are unlawful, such as "How old are you?" or "When did you graduate from high school?". Or specific questions geared toward personal health status such as, "Have you had any major illnesses in the last 4 years?", or "Do you plan to have any children?" are unlawful and frowned upon. If an applicant is confronted with an unlawful question, the Yale University Office of Career Strategy's web article offers two simple suggestions. One option is to "Side-step it. You could discretely refuse to answer the question but address the concerns that they raise.". And the web article provides another option, "Question the relevance. You can ask your interviewer how the question relates to the position you’re interviewing for. This may alert them to the inappropriate nature of their question." However, if an applicant chooses to answer a perceived unlawful question, "answer all of the interviewer's questions honestly". (Beebe & Mottet, 2013, p.167) When answering any question applicants should remain truthful, avoid any misrepresentations, and steer clear of any manipulation.
