Bernie Madoff essay.  Where is the Money?

Times New Roman 12 Inch Type/ double space/ No more than 30% Turn it in.

 

For this essay, please consider what Madoff did with the billions of dollars that he stole.  Where is it?  Some of the money has been recovered, but most of it has not.  Look at the facts and come to a logical conclusion of three  ways he used the money, and where all of it went.  For example:  Does his family have it?   Is it hidden?  Does he have hidden assets overseas?  Does he have confederates here in the United States who have it?  How did he spend the money?  Your logic is just as valid as another’s logic.  Think about it.

If you wish to arrange the paragraphs differently you may do so, but you must have and introduction and conclusion.    You cannot just say the money is gone.  I want you to think about it.  Develop you paragraphs.  Two sentences are not a paragraph.  You must have parentheses with documentation.  Example (Biography.com)( or (Encyclopedia Britannica.org)

  1. Introduction  = Background of Madoff and what he did before he started his investment firm.  Define and describe a Ponzi Scheme.  This must be documented.
  2. Paragraph II   =  What people and institutions did he get money from?  How Much Money Did Madoff Embezzle?  Give specific examples of people and institutions  document

III.  Paragraph  III = What  did  Madoff do  with the money that we know about and can document.  For example, where did he live?  What did he buy?  (document)

  1. Where is the remainder of the money.  Give specific example of where you think the money is now.  Madoff is in prison, but they have not recovered all the money
  2. Summarize the four paragraphs, and then explain where you think the money is and why you think it is there?  This is a supposition.  No one really knows so far.
  3. Works Cited Page.  This must match your in-text citations.  If you have only two sources, then you can only have two in your works cited page.  This is a separate page.

Words You must use  in the essay:

Con

Con Man

Ponzi Scheme

Hedge Fund

Embezzle

Discuss the social justice and equity issues related to the treatment of Curtis Flowers from a criminal and civil law perspective

The symbol of Justice

The symbol of Justice is traditionally Lady Justice blindfolded and holding a set of weighing scales dangling on her left hand, and a double-edged sword on her right. The scales depict the unbiased judgment in measuring the merits of the case and the opposition. The sword is the symbol of power of the decision of Justice over the case.

However, African-Americans, especially men, and other people of color have often been treated more harshly both as the accused and as victims in our American justice system,

Write a short (3 pages) analysis on Carmilla and the theme of repression discussing Laura’s relationship with Carmilla both before the discovery of her vampirism, as well as after.

/in /by

Camilla

Essay Question:

As discussed in class, Le Fanu’s novella Carmilla presents the potential theme of repression. We have discussed how this theme manifests into the physical, through the horrendous attacks of the vampire, which often are described through descriptors often associated with illness, specifically symptoms of female hysteria. Furthermore, we have related the structure of Carmilla through the written retelling by our narrator Laura, as a kind of “transference” of the story, in other words, an act done in order to self-analyze. We have discussed the importance of dreams in the text and Laura’s related experiences as a child in relation to her experiences with Carmilla as an adult. Such modes and tools of storytelling were of particular interest to the study of the brain, specifically in the emerging field of psychology and psychoanalysis.

Write a short (3 pages) analysis on Carmilla and the theme of repression discussing Laura’s relationship with Carmilla both before the discovery of her vampirism, as well as after. What does Laura, the narrator, reveal about Laura the character through this act of “transference”? This is a formal thesis driven academic paper.

Identify the fictional company and product you’ll write your class assignments for this term, identify a real-world competitor to your company and its product, and introduce yourself to us all personally.

Technical Writing

Discussion 1 asks us to do four things at once: It asks us to do some research about technical writing in the school library, identify the fictional company and product you’ll write your class assignments for this term, identify a real-world competitor to your company and its product, and introduce yourself to us all personally.

Follow these FOUR steps, then, as you complete Discussion 1:

Step 1:

Find an article in the APUS Trefry Library that pertains to the role of technical writing in companies; read it and make note of its author, title, and publication information so you can use it in your initial forum post. Report out to the group what you’ve learned about technical writing from this article.

Tech Writing Treasure Hunt Note: There is no textbook for this class! Class readings come from the library, instead. You’ll be responsible for researching articles relevant to the week’s writing objectives and reporting on them to your peers in class discussion forums. Doing this will give you some good practice using the AMU / APUS Trefry Library and will familiarize you with academic technical writing journals. The class will basically conduct a technical writing treasure hunt each week, then, instead of looking at a traditional textbook.

Step 2:

Choose the fictional company name, company details, and a web hosting service for the class company you’ll be developing this term. Tell us the name of your company, the name of your product, and the URL of the website (this website can be hosted via a free service like Wix or WordPress and so on) you’ll be building for the company.

Step 3:

Find the website and / or app of a real-world competitor for your class product and critique it. This will be the 3rd paragraph of your post. Answer some of these questions in your critique (you do not need to answer them all):

Describe the interaction between the company and its customers. How active is each social media page? Does the company respond to complaints? What sort of posts are made to their Facebook page, for example? Are the social media pages easy to use, useful, and does the writing style reflect the needs of customers who use these platforms?

If the company has an app, what are its features? Is it easy to use? What information does the app provide for customers? Do they offer coupons? Sales ads? In what ways can the consumer interact with the app features?

Does the company’s site and / or app fit well on a smartphone or tablet screen? Describe the content, presentation and links, color, graphics, and writing style of the website. Is it easy to navigate?

Who is the company’s target audience? How do they appeal to this audience on their sites and app?

Step 4:

Your current understanding of technical writing, as informed by the library article you read.

Your chosen company name, along with any other relevant details you think we should know about it.
