Discuss the kinds of expectations-traps which face women candidates and leaders as explored by these various authors, whether the arguments in the articles (and videos) offered reinforce or conflict with other arguments, and possible ways women can avoid these traps

Women who run for and gain political office often have to deal with a series of double-binds, insofar as they may be judged as being both too masculine (insufficiently feminine) and not masculine enough (too feminine). Zamfirache, and Okimoto and Brescoll, as well as a number of the videos, take up the issue from a number of directions. Discuss the kinds of expectations-traps which face women candidates and leaders as explored by these various authors, whether the arguments in the articles (and videos) offered reinforce or conflict with other arguments, and possible ways women can avoid these traps. What of the arguments presented in Peters that the leadership of women might be superior? Finally, Elshtain has noted that, in the history of Western political and philosophical thought, the question of women’s “being” (or identity) and virtues has long been in question; how much does her work help to make sense of what can be expected from women politicians?

Write a five-paragraph synthesis essay, illustrating your command of the English language, your ability to synthesize numerous texts, and your mastery of appropriate in-text citations.

Write a five-paragraph synthesis essay, illustrating your command of the English language, your ability to synthesize numerous texts, and your mastery of appropriate in-text citations. The goal is for you to demonstrate your understanding of several of the works from our reading list and your ability to recognize common themes among them.

Directions:

  • View: The synthesis essay
  • Choose a common theme running among three or four of the works from our reading list (select a topic that sparks insightful thinking).
  • Identify three sub-topics that support the development of that theme (these may become the topics for your body paragraphs).
  • Draft a thesis (you may construct an essay map or an umbrella-type thesis).
  • Identify the concept/topic for each body paragraph that supports the thematic connection among two of the texts:

o TextA&TextB

o TextA&TextC

o TextB&TextC

  • From each text, find appropriate passages, lines, or words that support the connections and then determine if the exact wording (quoting) or a paraphrase will best communicate the comparison or contrast between the texts (you will need at least one citation from each source discussed in the paragraph; thus, you will need a minimum of two in-text citations—either quotation or paraphrase per body paragraph). You do not need to cite all three texts in each body paragraph, but you must cite a minimum of two texts for each paragraph.
  • Draft tentative topic sentences and/or a sentence outline.
  • Consider the logical arrangement of the material in the paragraph (reasons, examples, names, numbers, & senses) and the essay.
  • Develop strongly worded introductory and concluding paragraphs (Introduce all the works and authors in the introduction; conclude the essay with thoughtful commentary).
  • Draft a Works Cited page (see LBH).
  • Try to incorporate more than one author within a citation (see LBH) to indicate scholarly ability to synthesize.

Background: Liberty needs to do a presentation for a client from Parsons manufacturing company to explain whether the client has a valid case. The client will be accompanied by in-house counsel from Parsons, so Liberty wants the presentation to be comprehensive in covering all contract law technicalities but must also be easy to understand.

Liberty has asked you to create a PowerPoint to explain and summarize the information to be presented to the client at the meeting.

Facts: Parsons’ manufacturing company is in the business of building chairs. Quality Furniture Company (QFC) sent a Purchase Order to Parsons for 200 chairs at $50.00 per chair. The QFC purchase order was silent as to a warranty.

Parsons responded by sending its acknowledgement form that stated 100 chairs were to be purchased at $50.00 per chair. Preprinted on a Parsons sales form was the statement that “all chairs are warranted for 60 days as to defects and workmanship.”

Parsons sent the 200 chairs and QFC accepted them and paid in full. Thirty days later, QFC noticed that the chairs were splintering due to faulty workmanship. QFC has consulted with Liberty to determine whether it had a valid contract with Parsons,
