Essay topic

Discuss why and in what ways the Facebook brand has lost trust and endured a number of crises since the Cambridge Analytica ‘scandal’. Back up your account by reference to news accounts across a range of trade papers and news outlets, Ensure you also draw on some academic scholarship, especially on branding, in answering this question.

 

1.2 What is an essay about?

Writing an essay provides you with opportunity to:

  • demonstrate what you have learnt over the term;
  • research and explore a topic in more depth;
  • develop a range of skills, including presenting the views and concepts of those you have read with clarity, offering your own argument based on  analysis of material you have gathered, and working with the ideas from authors;
  • develop the clarity and fluency of your writing.

The specific Learning Outcomes are:

  • Identify and evaluate key academic debates about the place and status of advertising in contemporary society;
  • Explain and deploy relevant theoretical frameworks and concepts to understand particular facets of advertising;
  • Demonstrate skills of presentation, synthesis of ideas, analysis and argumentation in written communication.

1.3 Essentials for this essay:

  • Every essay must have a small ‘case study’ or ‘research focus’, i.e. you discuss your chosen essay question in relation to a particular set of materials that you have gathered (ie. you should not only discuss ads that other authors have considered or just discuss reading). You need to test out ideas on your own
  • All essay questions are about ‘opening up’ discussion on your selected topic.

2          How to proceed

  • Look closely at a few possible questions: what do you think they are suggesting you should/could focus on? Discuss with fellow students to start with and then your tutor. It’s a good idea to speak with your tutor sooner rather than later! They can also help you with the following:
    • How to focus your essay.
    • What reading from the module you can draw on to engage with this essay question, before you start looking for further reading.
    • What case study or research material to gather and discuss in your essay. This may often be ads themselves, contemporary or historical, online/offline, commercial/charity/political. It may be ads in their media context whether online or offline; comment and discourses about advertising in the trade press, news, blogs, or by consumers on social media. It could be interviews.

3          Essay plan

  • An essay plan is your road map of how to get from A (introduction) to Z (conclusion). It should be developed through several stages from ideas you write down initially to something more worked out and linear in which you detail what will be included in each section or group of paragraphs.
  • Initially, so that your tutor can better support your essay writing, try to do the following (using the template headings at the end of this document, p.6):
  • List one (or two essay titles) you’re interested in.
  • Indicate what you think the title is asking you to do
  • Indicate at least 2 core readings you think might be relevant to each title and explain why you think their argument/ideas or content are relevant.
  • Highlight what case study/research material you think you could collect and focus on in order to engage with each of these questions.
  • Any worries or concerns or questions you have at this point?

4          Essay content

  • Roughly half of your essay (the first half) will draw on and discuss the reading you have done.
  • Your account of the case study/research material, when written up, constitutes at least 30-40% of your essay and it may be up to 50% of the essay,
  • A strong essay will use reading to help contextualize, understand and analyze your case study/ research material.
  • Your essay will need an introduction explaining how you are tackling the essay question (don’t assume the title speaks for itself) and pointing to the case study/research material you are gathering/engaging with.
  • It will also need a conclusion. Remember a conclusion does not have to be definitive and close off discussion. It can summarise and highlight what you have found out and what you have argued. It can also raise further questions, unsettling what you might have initially thought was a simple or clear cut debate.
  • You may use some sub-headings in your essay in order to provide structure and signposting. But limit to 6 maximum, including Introduction and Conclusion; ; otherwise the essay is likely to become ‘bitty’ with argument not developed in a sustained way.

5          Essay structure

  • Introduction: This needs to address how you are approaching the essay title. It may include explaining and/or historically contextualizing your topic. (250 words, maybe longer if includes latter).
  • A section highlighting and discussing ideas you are drawing on from core (and other) reading and (if relevant) how other scholars might have approached the topic you are pursuing (approx 800-1000 words).
  • In the second half, it may be appropriate (depending on your Intro to essay) to provide a description of your case study/research material (approx 250 words).
  • You may then perhaps have two sections (with sub-headings) looking at your material in two slightly different ways. You will be using some ideas from the first half of the essay but also other authors to engage with, analyse, understand your material  and develop your arguments  (approx 800-1000 words)
  • Conclusion (approx 150-200 words)
  • Appendices (optional). These – an example might be the ASA regulation on alcohol advertising, and bibliography do not count as part of your word length.
  • List of visual material you have used (if any) providing web links and date you accessed if retrieved electronically. If you have taken photos or retrieved material from magazines etc, then give source, again including date. Keep this separate from:
  • Bibliography, listed alphabetically by author/editor’s last name. MFM usually advise the Harvard method (author, year, title, place of publication, publisher) but so long as you are consistent any method is acceptable.

6          Presentation of essay

– Double space (as in this paragraph)

– Use a font which is at least 11 point, preferably 12 point

– If including copies of print ads/screen shots of video/social media pages, ensure that the images are big enough to see everything that you comment on and any copy (ie. words) can easily be read without the marker having to zoom in (and then out again). This may mean they need to fill a page.  Integrate images into the essay rather than put at the end; they will better contribute to your essay (and ease  electronic marking).

– Provide a caption and label images, Figure 1, 2 etc and refer to them in your essay as you make a point  ‘In the BMW ad (see Figure 1)…’

Indicate what you think each title is asking you to do

Indicate at least 2 core readings you think might be relevant to each essay title

Indicate why you think the argument/ideas or content in these two readings are relevant (selecting a few relevant  quotes from these articles  would be a good way of tackling this)

Highlight what case study/research material you think you could collect and focus on in order to engage with each of these questions.

Explain why mitigating risk and making better decisions are essential to operational efficiency.

/in /by

Using scholarly material, explain how Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems mitigate risk and assist in organizational decision making. In addition, explain why mitigating risk and making better decisions are essential to operational efficiency. Also, discuss how ERP is helping to manage projects better. Remember to support your statements with factual information (i.e., attribution/citations). In addition, material from the course textbook or the textbook’s author(s) cannot comprise more than 25% of the sourced and/or quoted material.

The paper must follow the formatting guidelines in The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2010), (6th ed., 7th printing), and contain a title page, five scholarly references, three to five pages of content, and a reference page. In addition, the paper will be submitted through the Turnitin originality-checking tool. More APA assistance can be found at the Purdue University Online Writing Lab (Links to an external site.)

CRIM 2012 Final Assessment Contemporary Issues in Police Leadership and Management

Case Study of Policing and Disaster Prevention and Response

Background

Walmington-on-Sea is a village in a very popular south coast tourist resort with sightseeing locations by the sea. The resort draws hundreds of thousands of people from around the world, and the UK in particular, during peak seasons. It has a lot of local day visitors and those who rent accommodation or stay in nearby hotels for longer periods.

The location is also popular with boating and fishing enthusiasts and those who enjoy waterborne activities. As a consequence both the seaside and surrounding shops and restaurants are packed with visitors and locals going about their business. One of the attractions of the place for many visitors is that the sea is close to many local communities which facilitates a good interaction between these two groups.

Particular unique features of local towns generally and those leading to the seaside are worthy of mention. Most of the roads in and out of the towns are usually old and very narrow roads which struggle to manage the heavy traffic, particularly coaches and buses going to the seaside. Some of the roads are in quite poor condition. As a consequence traffic is slow and often congested for a few miles until the dual carriageway links onto the main motorways which takes you to the major cities.

Similar to Leicestershire the location has an elaborate waterway system which consists of lakes, rivers, and canals and is below sea level which means it  periodically experiences quite serious flooding. Over the last couple of years this seems to be becoming more regular. On one of these occasions, over two billion litres of water rushed down the valley straight into Walmington-on-Sea. Floodwater gushed into houses, shops and pubs. Cars, walls and even bridges were washed away. The church was filled with six feet of mud and water. Trees were uprooted and swept into peoples’ gardens. The weight of water eroded river banks, damaged gardens and pavements.

The UK Government Environment Agency has a made an announcement that a further potentially heavy storm and rain system appears to be heading for the south coast, which is currently identified as a category three storm, but may increase to an unprecedented category four when it hits landfall. The storm is expected to hit landfall on Friday 10th April 2020 and could last for anything from two to three days if not more. This leaves the police and relevant agencies seven days (from date of your assessment) before the storm is expected to hit the South Coast potentially causing serious issues.

Police Role

The police may be the lead agency (at least in the first instance) for major incidents and unforeseen events of this kind. You are advisors based in the local area attached to the police Operational and Planning Division. As the advisor your role is to assist the development of good practice in major operations and planning.

Your task is to help develop a good and sound operational plan for disaster prevention and response to the oncoming storm. As the police and other agencies will have their traditional ways of responding to such emergencies, you will need to consider the most effective personal leadership style or approach that can be utilised in order for you to influence key individuals and groups within the police and beyond it, if and when required. You do not possess command and line authority.

Use the Joint Decision Making Model/ NDM to consider this contemporary issue. Consider the range of resources required and potential additional resources such as voluntary organisations, and charitable associations among others who can be called upon. Resources can also include technical tools and aids that you may require. Your plan (in essay form) must demonstrate consideration of clear lines of responsibility, accountability and communication. Given the impending disaster ensure you research the effectiveness of key agencies, such as the police, military or defence forces, health service, resilience forums and other organisations/institutions and the potential challenges and possible deficiencies which have to be taken into consideration.

Finally, it is important to stress even though there is a seven day window before the storm hits landfall, this is the best technical estimate, but in reality this could occur earlier. Your planning should take this into consideration.

Assessment

An individual 2500 word essay answering the following:

Considering major incidents and partnership responsibilities develop a comprehensive plan for the police’s role in reducing the impact of the oncoming storm and its implications, identifying the limits of the police responsibilities and the role of other key partners.

Assignment

The assignment will report and critically discuss the findings of an investigational study of one issue undertaken in relation to an aspect of Early Years practice or provision.

Guidance

The research project will run as you have planned over the year and you will write your introduction, literature review, methods and methodology as we have already discussed.

When you come to what should be the data analysis section, you will write a critical discussion about one method of data collection. You will have covered this more briefly when discussing it in your methods section alongside the other methods you were planning to use, but now you will write about it in much more depth.

An example of this is below:

Observation

In order to acquire this information, observation was a significant method of data collection.  I needed to develop an overall picture of the practice, demands and expectations, gaining a first-hand experience of the subtle innuendoes and real life experiences that occur in a setting. Observation allowed me the option of removing myself from participating in activities with the children and allowed me to record freely without becoming engaged in discussion (Stringer, 2013). Dawson (2009) also discussed direct observation, as used by psychologists where no interaction takes place between the observer and observee.  I would then be able to record what the actual lived experience is like as opposed to obtaining second-hand experiences of those events from another’s perspective (Cohen et al., 2011). This would enable me to use all my senses to understand behaviours and relationships (Marshall & Rossman, 2010), allowing different types of information to be recorded than would be in questionnaires or interviews. However, I realised that this approach would not always be appropriate for the project, as the curious nature of young children makes some of them want to engage with new adults and include them in their play. Observations can be conducted in a variety of ways and a more interactive approach would be participant observation, in which the observer is part of the activity and all of the relationships and behaviours involved in order to fully embrace the experience, which was much more appropriate. Cohen et al. (2011) and Rugg and Petre (2007) explained how this can be further divided depending on the degrees of interaction between the observer and the participants. In both the initial methodology of action research and the eventual case study approach I adopted, observation was an essential method. I required them to be detailed and to demonstrate what was really happening in the setting, relying less on prescriptive foci and more on recording the natural ebb and flow of an early years classroom (Stringer, 2013). Observation is a natural process we engage with constantly; an experienced observer can engage with this in a non-intrusive manner which does not make staff or children nervous and they are more likely to act in their usual way (Koshy et al., 2010). An advantage to this is the flexibility to vary what is being observed as well as creating an in-depth picture of what is occurring, enabling the observer to gather qualitative data which identifies reactions, expressions and other subtle indicators of what is actually occurring. However, there is also a risk of recording too much information, irrelevant information, changing the way people behave because they are being observed (ibid.).

You can then discuss your findings from the literature review and how it all fits in with your question. In your conclusion/discussion explain issues encountered and how you would change your approach if you were to do this again.

If you have any questions, please e mail me

Jacqui

There are a number of different of observations types, what you can’t do is make it broad and just say you’ll do 30 mins in the home corner, narrow down the focus, chose one child to observe for 3 – 10 minute intervals, long enough for you, how are you going to capture the observation, are you going to video it/permissions.. replay the video, take as long as you like to replay and analyse. More exciting, on google, methods to use, observation, lots of stuff online, time sampling, incident sampling, how many time a child uses a particular phrase or does a certain action. Chose one child or chose several children to observe over a period of a week that a time that’s convininet, might not be the child your looking at but the practitioner or it could be both. Filming interactions, talk about it in ethics form, parents consent, managers consent, practitioners individual consent so they are willing participants. Richness of the data, challenge is how your going to sift through the observations to discuss record.
