Make a case for how potential problems in port cities may be at least partially offset with potential benefits from higher temperatures in the Arctic and Arctic Ocean.

Given the area’s natural resources, emerging agriculture and potential new trade routes, make a case for how potential problems in port cities may be at least partially offset with potential benefits from higher temperatures in the Arctic and make a case for how potential problems in port cities may be at least partially offset with potential benefits from higher temperatures in the Arctic and Arctic Ocean..

Provide a detailed critical review of the A&B study – their rationale, hypotheses, methods, results,and discussion.

INTRODUCTION
Outlines the issues and/or position you are arguing for. Your grade will reflect how clearly and completely the argument is outlined.
BODY OF ESSAY
Relevance and understanding
All information in your essay should be relevant to the question you have been asked. There should be examples that clearly illustrate a theory, model or approach to understanding the topic.
Discussion and Critique
You should include a clear discussion often where two or more opposing approaches, theories or pieces of evidence are evaluated. Your critique should be supported by citations.
CONCLUSION
Your conclusion will draw on the threads of your argument together and link back to your original outline of what you said you would do in the Introduction. By the end of the Discussion you will have answered the question posed in the essay title.
ADVICE:
The aim of the essay is to apply what you have learned in lectures, tutorials and in your readings to everyday life. The essay should therefore explain and evaluate theories and evidence you have come across. Be careful of including lots of theories or concepts as your essay may end up looking like a kind of list. However, if you just pick one or two you won’t have the chance to show off how much you know.
Your introduction should set out how you will be tackling the essay question – i.e., your thesis – what you are arguing for.
Most typical comments from previous years:
• Do not simply list studies. For example, too often we see “A&B (Year) conducted a study to look at [TOPIC] and found that [RESULT]. C&D (Year) also looked at this, and found similar results…”. You should provide a detailed critical review of the A&B study – their rationale, hypotheses, methods, results, discussion, before going on to do the same thing for C&D, possibly in a new paragraph.
• Most comments referred to aspects that were poorly written and unclear.
• Next came the use of examples: some did not seem to relate well to the theories being discussed or how they related was not made clear.
• The thread of the argument gets lost – there is no flow to the argument so the reader can’t follow where the essay is going.
In-text references aren’t in the Reference section and vice versa
• No evidence of any research having been carried out to write the essay.
• Lots of theories but very little use of examples to illustrate them or lots of examples and very little theory.
• Make sure that by the end of the essay you have clearly answered the essay question. Try to relate each piece of evidence back to the specific essay question asked – do not just write about everything you can find on the topic.

Select one of the five key changes Barno and Bensahel claim will shape the choices and decisions awaiting Pentagon leaders.

David Barno and Nora Bensahel, “Five Ways the U.S. Military Will Change after the Pandemic,” War on the Rocks, April 28, 2020, https://warontherocks.com/2020/04/five-ways-the-u-s-military-will-change-after- the-pandemic/.
The authors assert: “The ultimate damage [from COVID-19] will be so great that after the pandemic, the urgent need to defend the American people from devastating threats inside the homeland will quickly displace foreign threats atop the hierarchy of national security concerns.” Moreover, they claim the U.S. military will need to make at least five key changes that will shape the strategic choices and decisions senior DoD leaders will be forced to make. First, “cyber and space will be higher priorities than land, sea, and air.” Second, “reliance on forward presence will diminish.” Third, “the reserve component will become much more important [than in the past].” Fourth, “legacy programs and end strength will be cut — by a lot.” And, fifth, “the prestige of the U.S. military will be dimmed.”2

Briefly describe and explain at least four features of the service which you can also use the textbook to explain.

Choosing a Video:

For this project you will be asked to observe a religious activity and write an essay out your experience. Due to social distancing concerns you are asked to find and watch a video of a religious service, ritual, or holiday online to write this report about. Your video should be at least ten minutes long and it should ideally be either a live stream or a recording or a live stream of the rite, service, or holiday. Finally, it must be from a religion other than your own religion. For example, if you are Catholic or Protestant, you should encounter a religion other than another kind of Christianity. The same goes for Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and so on. This may involve some effort ahead of time to find a place of worship or meet someone of another faith.

Essay Instructions:

Your essay should be 3-4 pages long. It should have an introduction to the video and a very brief overview of the religion in your observation. In the body of the essay you should briefly describe and explain at least four features of the service which you can also use the textbook to explain. For example, if you are watching a Muslim prayer service you might note the direction people are facing when they pray and note that the textbook explains that Muslims pray facing Mecca (Brodd, et. al., 2019; p. 531). You will need to cite the textbook for these four references, as well as for any other instances in which you quote or paraphrase the textbook.

A good outline to follow for the essay is:

1. Introduction: introduce the video and the religion the video is from

2. Body: four paragraphs identifying features of the video and referencing the textbook for these features

3. Conclusion

4. References: include a citation and URL for the video as well as a citation for the textbook and any other sources you consulted.

Submitting the assignment:

Submit this assignment as a Word document or Google Doc (in this case, upload a link). If you use other file formats there is a chance it may be ungradeable. Cite sources using either MLA or APA format and remember to cite sources used , quoted, and/or paraphrased.

How do they define a “miracle”

Instructions: Write 300-400 words (just over one double-spaced page) on the weekly prompt. The journal assignments are meant to guide your reading comprehension, inspire reflection, create a personal connection, and encourage you to have new philosophical experiences. In writing the journal, be sure to respond to all aspects of the prompt.

Watch the following video. Clearly, the Insane Clown Posse believes in miracles, but let’s go into more detail.

First, what are they even talking about? How do they define a “miracle”? Do you agree with this definition? (Notice that you don’t have to believe that miracles exist in order to define what a miracle is. For example, most people don’t think that unicorns exist, but we all know what a unicorn is.)

Second, what are ICP’s reasons for believing in miracles? What is the argument in this video? What are its premises? Is this a deductive or inductive argument? Is this argument valid/strong? Or sound/cogent? Finally, do you agree with the conclusion?

What would happen if that was no longer illegal.

Think of something that is currently classified as illegal in the United States. Now, consider what would happen if that was no longer illegal. What are the possible consequences? Be creative and don’t take the easy way out. For example, marijuana is not the best example here as many states are taking steps to legalize or decriminalize marijuana usage. Be sure you include research to support your posts. For example, what do other countries do? How does public policy differ? How might it impact institutions in society: law enforcement, prisons, education, communities, the environment, etc. Your paper should address how this change might impact individuals based on their race, class, and/or gender.
