Research and Writing Project: Project -- Historical research necessitates utilization of primary sources such as newspapers. From colonial times, newspapers in this country have been important in reporting, interpreting, and sometimes shaping events. For this project, locate two newspapers from the time period of our course of study (after 1877). You may find your newspapers at the public libraries (such as the downtown Nashville public libary or Archives), but you will likely choose to do your research on the internet. Our own NSCC library has the New York Times archives from 1850, as well as archives of some other newspapers. You should not use sources online that you have to pay for. If you are asked to pay for access to the newspapers, do not do so, just continue your research and find materials that are free. NEWSPAPERS must be used for this project, not magazines, books or other sources, nor books about newspapers. Read and review articles from each of the two newspapers, describing what the articles are about and your own reaction to them. Prepare a typewritten paper of at least 2 full pages of text, double spaced, font size 12, standard one inch margins, on each newspaper (for a total of at least 4 pages of text for the project in addition to the cover page (The cover page should have your name on it and the course name, though be as creative as you like.) .and a works cited page..so six pages total). Be certain to include the NAME AND DATE of each of the newspapers you are reviewing. There will be a significant reduction in your grade if the name and date of the newspapers are not included in your papers. Also prepare a cover page with your name, the course name, and the date. You may choose to research an event such as D-Day, Pearl Harbor, the sinking of the Titanic, the day after President John Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., or John Lennon were killed; the events after September 11, etc. Or you may choose to look up a particular date, such as the day you were born; or research the record of your favorite sports team or athlete in years past. The newspapers may both be, for example, the New York Times or the Tennessean, but should not be on the same date.

ASSIGNMENT: In this course, you learned that forming or joining interest groups is one way that Americans can participate in the U.S. political system. Recall that interest groups are formal associations of individuals or organizations that act to advance a shared interest and often attempt to influence government decision-making and public policy. For this assignment, you will create a hypothetical interest group around a cause or issue that is of interest to you. You will establish policy goals and strategize to meet those goals. By doing so, you will apply what you’ve learned about how the U.S. political system functions and about interest group formation, strategies, and incentives. To complete the assignment, download the Create an Interest Group template and follow the directions below. You will return the completed template as your Touchstone submission. Create an Interest Group Template Example Create an Interest Group Submission (PDF) In order to foster learning and growth, all essays you submit must be newly written specifically for this course. Any plagiarized or recycled work will result in a Plagiarism Detected alert. Review this tutorial for more about plagiarism and the Plagiarism Detected alert: Touchstones: Academic Integrity Guidelines. For guidance on the use of generative AI technology, review Ethical Standards and Appropriate Use of AI. A. Directions Step 1: Select an issue or cause that is of interest to you, and prepare to create a hypothetical interest group that will advocate for the interest. The issue or cause could be big and national in scope (for example, gun safety); it could be small and local in scope (for example, cleanliness of the public park in your town); or anywhere in between. Note: Submissions that analyze existing, real-world interest groups will be returned ungraded. hint Review the Role of Interest Groups in Democracy tutorial and the Types of Interest Groups tutorial to help you reflect on the functions of interest groups. Once you’ve selected an issue or cause, think about your goals and what you would want your interest group to accomplish. Talk to friends, family, or community members, or research on the Internet to learn more about the issue. Step 2: Download the Create an Interest Group template and review the prompts. Think about the specific policy and membership goals of your hypothetical interest group, the barriers to achieving those goals, and the strategies that would best lead you to success. hint Keep in mind that the best strategies may be different for different interest groups, and may depend on how much public or political support exists for your goals, the membership base for your interest group, and how much money and political influence your group is likely to have.  hint Prepare to respond to the prompts by reviewing the Interest Group Strategies tutorial and the Factors that Influence the Power of Interest Groups tutorial. Step 3: Fill in the Create an Interest Group template. You will respond to the following prompts. Remember to include in-text citations when summarizing, quoting, paraphrasing, or including statistics or data from outside information sources! Your Interest Group  In approximately 6-8 sentences, give your hypothetical interest group a name, and describe the issue or cause it supports or opposes and why. What type of interest group is it? Goals  What are your specific policy goals? Specify at least 2. Which level(s) of government and which government branch(es) will you target, and why?

An essential part of understanding history (or any event, for that matter) is a thorough awareness of context. Re-read the section in the text about the European context of "Thinking Globally, The Age of Empire," page 642 of Chapter 27. How did the U.S. fit into this larger picture? Compare European colonization efforts, such as those on the continent of Africa, to America’s involvement with places like Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii.

Please write a 6-8 page (~2000 word) paper in which you respond to one(1) of the following prompts: 1. Compare and contrast what men and women had to do to be to be admired and respected in Renaissance Italy. Please draw from multiple sources in your answer to this question including, but not limited to, Boccaccio, Machiavelli, and Alberti. OR 2. In 1516 Lorenzo II de Medici (grandson of Lorenzo from the Pazzi Conspiracy) captured the city of Urbino at the head of a papal army. He installed himself as prince of the city, but his rule was insecure. Pretend that you are Niccolo Machiavelli and asked for advice on how to rule Urbino. Write an essay--or letter-- in which you give advice to Lorenzo on how best to rule his new city. Please keep in mind the historical context of both Italy and Urbino. Use Machiavelli, the lectures, and any other sources you think necessary to answer the question. Remember also that Machiavelli was tortured at the hands of the Medici family, so would he actually provide good advice or would he seek his revenge? A rubric for this essay has been posted to Canvas. In general, you will be graded on whether you have a strong argument well supported by the primary source texts and relevant historical background. To do this, you will need to adduce a clear thesis and cite each of the texts regularly as evidence for your claims. You should use evidence from a minimum of three (3) different texts from the class in making your argument. Format for your paper: Please format your papers to be double-spaced in Times New Roman 12-point font. Please use a 1” margin on all sides of your page. Please include a title. At the top of the page you should indicate your name. Citations: Please use footnotes to indicate your source whenever you cite in this paper. Failure to give credit to an author for his or her ideas is plagiarism. In this class we will use the Chicago Manual of Style format (http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html). Here is an example using Machiavelli's The Prince.Machiavelli asserts that "“you will find men are always wicked, unless you give them no alternative but to be good.”1 For a second citation, you need only to include the author’s last name and page number: Machiavelli avoids talking about republics in The Prince, stating that he has discussed them elsewhere. 2 Essay Writing Guidelines Start with a clear, concise introduction. Long introductions seldom work. For this relatively short writing assignment, your introduction should: 1) introduce the paper’s topic, including why your topic is important, what is at stake in it; 2) present your thesis/argument and briefly map out the logic of how your paper will prove your thesis. To accomplish this, you should need, at most, half of a double-spaced page (which is a bit on the long side.) Be sure that each paragraph furthers your overall argument. Your paper should have a logical structure, with strong topic sentences for each paragraph, and strong paragraphs that successively contribute to your overarching argument. Strive to write analytical, sustained sentences and paragraphs that follow an overall argument. By the time you reach the conclusion, you should have amply proven your thesis/argument with strong, relevant points and evidence. Write a strong conclusion. You should restate your thesis in a synthetic, bringing-it-all-back- together way. You should also push your argument to a broader implication. Ask yourself after you’ve proved your thesis, “So what?” Provide adequate historical context. Situate authors and texts in their specific contexts. State circumstances under which certain perspectives and sources emerged, such as their geographical location, time period, audience/critics, and so on. You, as the author, must be the judge when and how much context is necessary in specific cases. Avoid too many broad generalizations. Statements like “Throughout history people have been identified by their ancestry” or “The Renaissance was a period of change” are vague and not very useful. Not that they are not true, but such generalizations are often better replaced by more specific arguments/topic sentences that state how, when, and why change occurred. Use summaries carefully and productively. As with your treatment of historical context, be careful not to get bogged down or lost in lengthy summaries that are not really critical for the purposes of your discussion. You may at times find it necessary to briefly summarize a source, the best uses of summary usually only introduce those aspects of a source that are relevant to your essay’s arguments. 1 Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince, trans. David Wooton (Indianapolis: Hackett Publishing, 1995), 73. 2 Machiavelli, 6.PREPARE before writing. Making outlines or sketching out arguments in whatever way works best for you really makes a difference in the quality and persuasiveness of an essay. Good preparation is the key to effective essay writing. Leave enough time to edit and proofread. Editing requires more than a spell-check. All papers, no matter how good, can benefit from subsequent drafts to polish up one’s writing and express ideas more clearly. Sometimes, reading papers aloud and correcting as you go along helps, to catch awkward sentence constructions, sentence fragments, and so on. The more time you give your paper, the better it will inevitably be. MAKE SURE TO USE RUBRIC FOR GUIDANCE. Let me know if you need anything.

The purpose of forensic assessment is distinct from that of traditional therapeutic assessments. The settings in which forensic evaluations occur are vast, including law enforcement, correctional, and civil and criminal court settings. Assessments in forensic psychology are used for numerous applications, clinical, judicial, and consulting. The decision about how and when to use a test as part of a forensic assessment involves consideration of the relevance of the test to the legal question or to the psychological construct that underlies the legal issue. Create a PowerPoint of 6 to 8 slides (not including the title page or reference slide), that addresses the following prompts: Identify one risk assessment used in family, civil, and criminal courts (three risk assessments total). Describe the application, purpose, population assessed, and differences for gender and age for each of the three assessments. The presentation should include three to four references. The presentation should include detailed speaker notes that represent what would be said if giving the presentation in person. Each slide should have a minimum of 150-200 words (the title and references slides do not require speaker notes). While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. Refer to the resource, "Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations," located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style.
