Exploring Two Sides of an Issue Essay
For Essay 2, you will write a research paper that objectively describes and analyzes both sides of a social controversy. You’re not yet making an argument about the issue itself.
Getting Started: Think of current issues: for example, human cloning, genetic engineering, etc. Create a “should” question. Ex) Should we test on animals for medical research? Yes, because___, No because___.
This is a research paper. After reading several essays, articles, and/or books on the topic, determine different arguments/sides of the issue. The paper will identify and explain the two sides of the issue.
You should have 2 sources (1 Pro/For and 1 Con/Against) to evaluate about your topic. Remember to fully explain all your evidence within the body paragraphs. You should have in-text citations (author’s last name and page number) and a work’s cited page. Consider the Opposing Viewpoints Database or Academic Search Complete to get started.
This is NOT an argumentative paper. You’re objectively describing and evaluating the major arguments that currently surround the issue—not choosing a side. Therefore, you should use phrases that distance yourself from your claim: “Supporters of affirmative action contend that it is necessary for achieving diversity…” “Critics of affirmative action argue that it is no longer a necessary policy.” Such phrases show that you’re referring to the opinions of others.
Your thesis might be as follows: In discussions of animal testing, there are those who support it because it finds cures for diseases. However, there are those who oppose it because it is cruel to animals. (You will then objectively describe the arguments put forth by both sides.)

Paper Requirements:
Proper Heading (Name, Class, Date) & Proper Header (Last name, pg # in upper right corner)
3-5 pages
Double spaced
12 point font Time New Roman
Works Cited Page 2 sources (Opposing Viewpoint or Academic Search Complete from the library)

Zine Format & Sections:
Your zine should be a minimum of twelve pages and contain the following elements and sections:

Cover: A cover that includes a title that is descriptive enough to give your audience clues about its content and includes your name.
Introduction Section: An introductory section that describes your intended audience your purpose. This section should also introduce your topic and purpose in the form of a thesis statement.
Several Sections Sharing your Research: The bulk of your zine will be pages in which you share your research on the topic. You must include some narrative writing that incorporates quotes, paraphrased information and/or summarized information from your sources. Every time you utilize a source, you should include an accurate in-text citation (usually author’s last name and year). Some ideas of ways you might present information.
Written paragraphs
Creative non-fiction
Poetry or stories
Lists of bulleted information
Images with descriptions
Drawings or other artifacts created by you
Further Resources: A section that includes further resources on your topic that you suggest your audience explore if they’d like to learn more about the topic. This could be books, articles, websites, videos, anything you think is credible and relevant (based on 5W criteria). This section must include:
At least five sources that are different from the sources you use to create your zine
A short description (in your own words) of the resource so your audience knows why they might want to explore it
References: A References section that includes an APA citation for each of the sources you used to create your zine. You must use at least five sources, though you might find you need to use more than five sources to fully explain your topic. Remember, these should be different from the sources you include in your Further Resources section.
A Note about Sources
There are no restrictions on the types of sources you must use for your zine. You will choose the types of sources based on your intended audience and your purpose. You should be choosing sources that you think your intended audience will value and respond to so that your zine will have the most impact on that intended audience. Regardless of type, you should be choosing high-quality sources based on the 5Ws of source evaluation and your critical reading. You will be responsible for articulating this in part two of the assignment in the annotated bibliography.

On a separate document that will be turned in separately from the zine, you will complete some self-reflection writing on the assignment and complete an annotated bibliography. Your self-reflection should be a minimum of two pages (not including your annotated bibliography). It should be double spaced and include the following elements (in any order you choose – your self reflection does not need to be in the same order listed):

Describe Your Topic Choice: A description of your reasons for choosing the topic. Why did you want to explore this topic further?
Describe Your Audience: A description of your reasons for choosing your intended audience. Why do you think it’s important this audience hear what you have to say about this topic?
Describe Your Research Environment: A description of the research environment you used. Why do you think the types of sources you choose will have a greater impact on your intended audience? Do you think they value the types of sources you choose more than they’d value other types of sources? Why?
Describe Your Research Process: A description of your research process including searching techniques, the search terms that got you the best results, and the resources (e.g. specific library database or search engine) that helped you find sources to create your zine and connect with your audience.
Describe Your Feelings: A description of your feelings toward the topic both before and after you completed the zine. Did your feelings change after doing your research and completing the bulk of the assignment? Did what you learn and share make you feel scared? angry? hopeful? something else? What do you wish others knew about the topic?
Annotated Bibliography
After you’ve written at least two pages of self reflection, you must include an annotated references section that includes the five sources you used to create your zine. You may decide you need more than five sources to fully explain your topic. You will choose the types of sources based on your intended audience and your purpose. Follow these guidelines for your annotated references section:

Each source should be listed in alphabetical order and cited in APA format. APA format applies to the citation part not the annotation. You already did this to include in the actual zine, so this part should be easy.
Each annotation should be at least five sentences and include:
A summary (in your own words) of the information included in the source
An explanation of how you used this source (use your critical reading skills to decide). Examples: It gave me a good foundational background on the topic. Or, It gave me good evidence to back up claims in my thesis. Or, it helped me present the lived experience of those affected by my topic.
An explanation of why you think this is a high-quality source (use the 5 Ws).
An explanation of the rhetorical style you used in your zine (ethos, pathos, logos). In other words, how are you trying to appeal to the reader? Did you use an ethical appeal , emotional appeal, logical appeal, some combination? Give some specific examples.
Submitting the Self Reflection/Annotated Bibliography and Accessing the Grading Rubric
When you are finished, you should do the following:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SOCPSY 2YY3 PAPERFor this assignment, you will need to read the first 17 pages of the Puhl and Brownell (2003; pages 53-70,everything up until the “Methodological Issues” section). You can skip page 13/66(the section titled Losing Weight).The article alludes to various psychological theories, models, andconcepts, that contribute to weight stigma and/or affect how people cope with it, but the specific names of the theories, models, andconcepts are not necessarily indicatedin the article, meaning that you may need to figure out which theory, model, or concept they are referring to. There are 3 partsto this assignment, each of which are described below, followed by a list of expectations for the paper (e.g., page length, etc). The paper is due on November 19that 5:30 pmPart 1Select two of the following theories, models, or concepts below.

•Social Identity Theory

•Social Exclusion Theory

•Identity Negotiation Theory•Looking Glass Theory

•Social Comparison Theory

•Stereotype Content Model

•Actor Observer Bias

•Attribution Theory

•Fundamental Attribution ErrorFor each one, you will need to:(1)identify a section in the Puhl and Brownell (2003) paper where they allude to the theory, model, or concept you have selectedusing the page number on the document (e.g., p. 53-70)(2)define or explain it in YOUR OWN WORDS. To do this, you can use information from the article as well as from the lectures or other journal articles, but it must be in your own words, and (3)explain, using an example, how the theory, model, or concept can beused to explain or understand why people have negative views towards overweight people, how people are affected by weight stigma, and/or how people cope with weight stigma. By example, I mean write about a specific hypothetical scenario.Part 2 Select ONE of the nine factors mentioned in the paper that may affect copingand (1)formulate a hypothesis about its effect on, or relationship with, coping based on the information in the articleor a theory, model, or concept discussed in lectures(2)explain the rationale for your hypothesisThe order in which you write these does not matter. You can explain your rationale and then write the hypothesis or vice versa. Part 3Find a research article (this means that it is not a “review” paper or a paper that summarizes other papers –it should have its own methods and results section, indicating that research was conducted) that supports the hypothesis you formulated in Part 2.It does not have to relate to weight stigma specifically(e.g., could be about racism or sexism or stigma, prejudice, or stereotyping more generally) and have a finding that can be extrapolatedto support your hypothesis. You can use an article that is cited in the Puhl and Brownell (2003) paper, but would be expected to find the cited paper and read it.Write a sentence linking this study to the hypothesis in Part 2 and brief summary of the paper including the following information: research aim/question+ hypothesis (if there was one), methods, results, and implications.Provide a reference for the article you select in your reference listin APA format.

Expectation for this assignment-This paper should be in APA format (this includes things like running head, page numbers, in-text citations, references, etc). -Use headers (as per APA format) to in

HCAD 701 –FALL2020Mid-Term AssignmentBelow are your guidelines for your Mid-term assignment. This assignment will require devoted inquiry, assimilation, reflection, and refinement in order to achieve the highest possible score. This is only one of your two major grades and your quality of work needs to reflect the importance of the assignment. You will have the opportunity to choose from the following topics. HOWEVER, you ONLY PICK and WRITE about ONE.This paper will be your unique, scholarly contribution. It is up to you to address thetopic but support it with empirical facts, theory, and a persuasive argument that is appropriate for a Master’s level program. Remember that this paper is a THEORETICALPAPER. This class is all about theory. If you FAIL TO GROUND YOUR PAPER IN A THEORETICALFRAMEWORK –you have not met the goals of this paper. This paper is supposed to answer one of the questions below –THROUGH THE USE OF THEORY. it is not enough to address one of the options below. It has to be substantiated through theory and peer-reviewed resources. Your opinions do not constitute a research paper. Option 1: In Chapter 2, we explored topics of diversity and the challenges of diversity in the healthcare sector. In this case, you have been asked to join the hospital’s task force for developing a plan to increase the organization’s workforce diversity from its current 10 percent level to 30 percent over the next five years. What recommendations would you make as a member of the task force?Possible Deliverables for Option 1:-Summarize the existing landscape as it relates to diversity in healthcare and in the US in general-Explore why healthcare organizations may not be as diverse as they should be -What is diversity today (i.e. sex, gender, race, ethnicity, education, culture)-Find some theories to substantiate your work on improving diversity-Explore some of the challenges and opportunities as it relates to diversity-These are only ideas –that if I was writing the paper, I may try to address. I am just trying to give you ideas.Option 2:In Chapter 3, we explored topics of attitudes and perceptions. More importantly, we discussed how attitudes are formed and changed. We then explored through Attribution Theory how we may equate certain qualities to individuals that may or may not be based in reality. There was recent research from Harvard about “Exploring the Challenges Facing Women Leaders in Health Care,” that shared some insights into the discrepancy of women in leadership roles in health care.In this assignment, you are tasked with helping young women enter into leadership roles in your healthcare setting. In this paper tell them what the environment looks like for women; what are some of the biases surrounding female leaders, and using theoretical justification what strategies they can use to overcome some of these barriers. Possible Deliverables for Option 2:

HCAD 701 –FALL2020Mid-Term Assignment-What does the healthcare environment look like for women?-What are some of the bias or attitudes toward women leaders?-What benefits do women bring to leadership roles?-Identify strategies to increase women in leadership roles –using established theories-Address the case inquiries in full, being absolutely certain to do so not as a layperson, but as a healthcare organizational behavior expert, making sure to reference theory, findings in scholarly articles, etc. to justify your positions. Merely providing personal opinions which are unsupported is insufficient and will be grounds for failing this assignment. You must use the tools offered in your readings, coupled with those acquired by additional research, to address the case professionally.Option 3: Chapter 3 & 4, explores general concepts of organizational behavior, including the all-important area of workplace communication. We all know that communications excellence is essential for productive institutional operations, so it is fitting for this to serve as the focus of our practitioner application. Specifically, you are to place yourself in the role of Administrator for a soon-to-be-established primary care practice. Your CEO has asked you to lay the foundation for successful administrative operations. Among other things, it has been requested that you direct attention to designing a workplace communications framework which will facilitate for productive operations. As you are the administrative expert, specific decisions are your responsibility. Your task is to design and describe in detail this workplace communications framework.Possible Deliverables for Option 3:-Explore the importance and challenges of communication in a healthcare setting-Describe the process of communication using a theoretical basis-Find unique ways that communication could be improved (i.e. if you only write about memo’s you will not do well on this paper)-Explore barriers to communication and how you will address and overcome these issues-Address the case inquiries in full, being absolutely certain to do so not as a layperson, but as a healthcare organizational behavior expert, making sure to reference theory, findings in scholarly articles, etc. to justify your positions. Merely providing personal opinions which are unsupported is insufficient and will be grounds for failing this assignment. You must use the tools offered in your readings, coupled with those acquired by additional research, to address the case professionally.Option 4:Chapter 4, we explored various theories of motivation (Maslow’s Hierarchyof Needs, Alderfer’s ERG theory, Herzberg’s Two Factor Theory, McClelland’s Three Needs Model), which is something that’s important for you to understand as a healthcare executive. We also explored job design and employee satisfaction. In this option, you are Chief Operating Officer of a local not-for profit hospital. The tension in your facility is at an all-time high due to pressures to discharge patients early, lack of professional staff, financial constraints, and an upcoming accreditation. With all this going on, you notice that one of your super-star employees who has always been great is starting to slip. Over the past three months, you have noticed that this employee is not as productive; is auguringwith the treating physicians, and they are audibly complaining that “no one listens to me” or “I don’t get paid enough to deal with this *&^%.”

HCAD 701 –FALL2020Mid-Term AssignmentThis employee was once a highly motivated, productive member of your staff. The environment is more stressful than it has ever been but what can be done to motivate this employee to their prior “self” Within the principles of the content theories of Maslow, Herzberg, and Alderfer, develop a motivation plan. Possible Deliverables for Option 4:-Address the case inquiries in full, being absolutely certain to do so not as a layperson, but as a healthcare organizational behavior expert,making sure to reference theory, findings in scholarly articles, etc. to justify your positions. Merely providing personal opinions which are unsupported is insufficient and will be grounds for failing this assignment. You must use the tools offered in your readings, coupled with those acquired by additional research, to address the case professionally.Option 5:Chapter 6, we discussed Expectancy Theory and how it can impact an individual’s level of motivation. We also explored Equity Theory in conjunction with Satisfaction-Performance Theory. Lastly, Goal-Setting Theory and Reinforcement Theory were introduced to show motivate and change behavior. In this case, you are the administrator of a local hospital. You are trying to implement a new process in the hospital and for the most part everyone has accepted the change EXCEPT for this small group of doctors. This group of doctors don’t seem willing to understand the importance of your change. When you have spoken with them, they often state that they will try harder to be compliant, but ultimately don’t change their behavior. Frustrated by the lack of cooperation, you are exploring theories on motivation and behavior change. Develop recommendations (based on a sound theoretical understanding) to motivate these physicians to improve their compliance. -Address the case inquiries in full, being absolutely certain to do so not as a layperson, but as a healthcare organizational behavior expert, making sure to reference theory, findings in scholarly articles, etc. to justify your positions. Merely providing personal opinions which are unsupported is insufficient and will be grounds for failing this assignment. You must use the tools offered in your readings, coupled with those acquired by additional research, to address the case professionally.Option 6:Finally, Chapter 7. In this chapter we introduced attribution theory and attribution styles as it related to motivating employees. In this case, you are hired into a department and one of your first assignmentsis to conducted performance reviews. When you review your predecessor’s work –all employees had relatively strong evaluations (so there were no low performers and no superstars). You have decided to allocate the raises equally to among all your employees. These raises will probably be disappointingly small. You are deciding to break the news to your staff in the least demotivational way possible and you have the following options:1)Explain to the staff that they deserve larger raises but based on the budget –this was the best you could do2)Explain to the staff that you could have gotten them larger raises is their performance levels had been higher3)Explain to the staff that they deserve larger raises but that their previous manager had failed them by rating them all equally

HCAD 701 –FALL2020Mid-Term Assignment4)Explain to the staff that these small raises are fair, given the equal performance raisesIn this paper, you have to explain what attributions are being communicated in each of these explanations. These explanations need to delve into whether they were internal or external, stable or unstable, ect. From a motivational standpoint, you have to explain the pros and cons of each of these explanations. Finally, you have to justify which response or combination of responses would be the least demotivational for the staff.
