Asian American identity was born in the late 1960s and early 1970s in relation to the Ethnic Studies Movement and the Third World Liberation Front (TWLF) strikes in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Review the demands of the TWLF and the experiences of student activists during the strikes. Why did Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinx American university students go on strike at SF State, UC Berkeley, and Sacramento State? What were their demands, and how did their movement help develop Asian American identity and community activism?

“Case Study Analysis: Supporting an Individual with Dual Diagnosis in a Residential Setting”
Hello Writer
the assignment is sort of a case study with question that need to be answered in essay format.
Here’s the case and the questions are at the end:
You have been working with Gerry, a 26-year-old in Moss Park Residence. He has Trisomy 21 and Type 2 diabetes. Gerry works at a button factory where he and others from Moss Park Residence package buttons. He completed grade 7 last year and refused to go back to school.
Last week, some of the staff had asked for a consultation with the psychiatrist because they felt that he was depressed. His appointment is in two weeks. You will be accompanying Gerry
The team has convened a conference to discuss Gerry’s case, as the existing documentation is insufficient. Your team leader has requested everyone share their observations to enhance their understanding of Gerry’s situation.
The psychiatrist has written the diagnosis as Dual Diagnosis (Trisomy 21, Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder)
Questions:
1. Based on Gerry’s diagnoses, what issues should the DSW be concerned about? Explain your rationale.
2. Name some factors that may have contributed to your identified issues.
3. What observations would be significant to share with the psychiatrist? Why are they important?
4. What strategies would be helpful to assist Gerry? Provide a rationale for each strategy. -

Title: The Value of Summer Jobs for Teenagers: A Critical Analysis of Sasse, Morrison, and Adkison’s Perspectives.
Re-read the article What to Do With Kids This Summer? Put ‘Em to Work.” by Ben Sasse.
Re-read The Work You Do, the Person You Are by Toni Morrison.
Re-read Drowning in Dishes, but Finding a Home by Danial Adkison.
Carefully consider all of Sasse’s points as well as the opinions put forth by Morrison and Adkison.
Compose a thesis statement for your essay that provides YOUR opinion on whether or not teenagers should get summer jobs.
Write the topic sentence for each of your three body paragraphs
Write an introductory paragraph that incorporates a quote that relates to your thesis statement. DO NOT use a quote from any of the three articles provided. You will need to find one of your own.
Make sure the quote is integrated into the paragraph using the three part source integration discussed in the fall.
Put the Introductory paragraph and the topic sentences for the three body paragraphs in the correct order and format them using MLA formatting.
9. You are only required to do the introductory paragraph, follower with the 3 topic sentences as an outline for the next 3 paragraphs
Prompt:
You just read about how Ben Sasse feels teenagers should spend their summer vacations. As a teenager, what is your reaction to Sasse’s recommendations? How do you feel about his suggestions and assumptions? Do you mostly agree, mostly disagree, or agree with some parts but disagree with others? Over the next few days you will compose an introductory paragraph, thesis statements and topic sentences for an argument essay that defends challenges, or qualifies Sasse’s overall claim that summer employment is the best way to build self-reliance among teenagers. Your position should be based on evidence from personal experience, and evidence from all three essays. -
“The Influence of Pop Culture on Society: An Analysis of the Idol Phenomenon” “The Influence of Popular Culture on Society: Analyzing the Message of Merchants of Cool and Generation Like”
My topic is this “The Idol” (these are the sources to watch)
Please watch the video and read the arcticle

Essay #5-Academic Research Paper: Pop Culture and Society
Length: 6-8 pages. Worth 150 pts.
Write an essay that examines an aspect of today’s popular culture (movies, music, television, etc.) through the lens of society (race, culture, class, sexuality, gender, etc.), and create an argument about how you believe that area of pop culture has an effect on reality. The essay must incorporate ideas presented by the Merchants of Cool and/or the Generation Like videos seen in class and must include at least four outside sources (not including the information from the video). Choose an aspect which interests you or that you perhaps know a certain amount about.
Sources
You must quote, paraphrase, refer to, or summarize ideas from at least 4 sources in your essay, and you must use MLA style documentation. Of these 4 or more sources, do not cite general encyclopedias (especially Wikipedia!). You may use specialized encyclopedias sparingly (like The Encyclopedia of Psychology.) At least two of your sources must be peer reviewed academic journal sources (for instance The Journal of Popular Film and Television or any other such sources).
Even more so with this essay, I encourage you not to use too many sources from the Internet.
Use sources to back up or explain your own ideas. Do not rely too heavily on one or two sources, simply regurgitating what they’ve told you. Rather, you must characterize your concept in an original way and use other people’s facts/opinions to lend authority to your idea. In general, paraphrasing other people’s ideas is preferable to quoting too much. Remember, your thesis should be your own.
Choosing a Topic/Argument
To begin, move towards an area of popular culture that you find most interesting. For instance, if you are a music buff, you might want to analyze a genre of music or perhaps the body of work of an artist; if you are known for your great knowledge of movies, gravitate around a particular movie or movies, a director’s work, or a cinema genre, etc. You’ll need to focus on a specific example or two within the pop culture area you choose to focus your analysis carefully. Your focus must also be on CURRENT pop culture (of at least the last twenty years or so) – analyzing, for instance, movies of the 1950’s is interesting, but unless you are doing it in lesser contrast to current movies, it does not apply to this paper. I’m more interested in your appraisal of current society and pop culture.
After finding your area of pop culture analysis, next look closely at it and choose the societal viewpoint(s) that you wish to analyze it from. How is an area of society represented in your pop culture example(s)? Try to limit your viewpoints – a paper looking at the cultural, sexual, racial, and class structure aspects of Keeping Up With the Kardashians is definitely trying to do too much. Limit your analysis to one (or at MOST two) of the cultural viewpoints. We will talk more about this in class.
Finally, craft a specific argument related to the last two elements. Explain how you believe your area of popular culture reflects some area of society, but also discuss those effects and how far-reaching they are, either positive or negative (or both?). For instance, discussing the racial aspects of a movie like Get Out and identifying how the movie discusses race is one thing, but you must go further and talk about how the movie connects to society and how it might go “beyond the screen” to the viewing audience. In what measureable way does your topic relate to, affect, or influence reality? Does the media make a statement or present a specific message about society, either purposefully or otherwise? How or why?
You must view the Merchants of Cool and Generation Like videos to help understand this essay! Your research should be varied and you must incorporate terms or ideas presented by the video – even if you disagree with them. We will discuss these in class after viewing.
This paper should not be autobiographical! Don’t fall into the trap of retelling your own encounters with racial or gender prejudice – you are analyzing popular culture in general. You can talk about how you fit into society personally, but it shouldn’t go further than that.
Successful papers will:
Have a limited enough scope (both in terms of choice of subject and analysis) to be thorough
Offer a thoughtful analysis of the pop culture aspect and attempt to bring something new to the table
Craft a specific argument covering your area of pop culture, related to how your area of society within your area of pop culture is discussed/presented and explain how it has an effect on the real world
Utilize your detailed research information to lend credibility and specifics to your existing argument
The worst papers…
…don’t focus carefully enough. Be sure you are confident with your thesis before diving in
…only focus on a basic concept – Be sure you get your topic approved – this is a multi-dimensional paper.
…merely regurgitate a superficial website or other such source. Websites are often written by nonexperts or simply offer very introductory, superficial information. They’re a good place to find introductory material and references, but unless the website is accredited or highly specialized, it’s likely not a good source to rely upon.
Grading Breakdown
100 points for the essay.
As always, your writing is graded for thesis, thoughtfulness, organization, and sentence-level excellence. You must meet the minimum page count requirement to get a “C”.
25 points for evidence of intelligent research.
Remember 4 sources is a minimum; more helps. However, finding a few excellent sources that are particularly relevant to your topic is better than finding 20 silly, superficial references. At least 2 of your sources must be from peer reviewed journals related to your topic and/or argument. Think outside of the bulls eye of your argument and find some sources that allow you to bring new connections or ideas to your topic! I grade research based on evidence of the following:
o Depth: excellent, meticulous research on one subject, drawing from cutting edge, sophisticated sources such as the latest research journals. How far beyond superficial facts did you get?
o Creativity: resourceful and innovative research; perhaps even information from unusual sources including interviews, local experts, podcasts, documentaries…?
o Scope: research that’s impressive for its sheer volume of appropriately used sources. If you gather material from far and wide, that’s an impressive display of research scope. However, if your research all comes from Time magazine, for instance, that’s not very impressive.
25 points for correct use of MLA style.
Be meticulous about following the CURRENT MLA guidelines for both in-text references and in your Works Cited page. Open your textbook and copy the format exactly. Plan to spend a couple of hours on this. Most students do not cite sources enough. ANY idea that is not “general knowledge” must be cited; any wording you borrow you must quote and cite. Even your paraphrased material MUST be cited. Every page in your paper will probably have several in-text citations. As before, PLEASE come to me with any questions on this! -

“Exploring Perspectives on Central America: A Critical Analysis”
For the paper topic, please use the file titled “433A Paper Topic_Question on Central America.”
Everything you need for the first section should be under that same file. You can add to the introduction as needed.
Please use the sources listed in the same file. I have requested seven sources, all included in the file. If you need to add more sources, add only two more.
The first one for the paper-based passage has already been done and is linked under “433A paper passage 1.”
For the second paper-based passage, I have added another file with instructions on how to create it.
It is the file named “Instructions on Passage Based Paper.”
Please let me know if I have left anything unclear or can’t access the files and sources.
Thank you.
Your final paper will be a compilation of the sections you have worked on so far as well as three new sections.
The final paper should be five pages, single-spaced, 12″ font.
Here is an outline of sections that will need to be included in this paper:
Introduction:
Begin with a clear introduction that defines your topic, emphasizes its importance, presents your research question, and states your thesis. Use what you have written in your initial assignment (Paper topic/question) to craft this introduction.
Paper-based Passage 1:
Present and analyze a passage from one of your sources that aligns with your research question. Discuss the perspectives and arguments presented in this passage. (Use what you have written in your Paper Based Passage in this section.)
(DO NOT INCLUDE THE TRANSCRIPT OF YOUR ARTICLE IN YOUR FINAL PAPER.)
Paper-based Passage 2:
Analyze a paragraph from another source that offers an opposing or different viewpoint compared to your first paper-based passage. Evaluate the contrasting perspectives and their implications for addressing your research question.
Critical Conversation:
Based on the insights gained from analyzing Paper-based Passage 1 and Passage 2, as well as any additional research you have conducted, present and argue your position on the research question. Support your argument with evidence and logical reasoning.
Conclusion:
Summarize your argument and explain why your position is the most effective in addressing your research question. Provide a concise recap of the key points discussed in the paper.
Works Cited:
This will be your final works cited page, which goes at the end of your paper and is revised to include any new sources used. Remember that your works cited must be properly formatted (format fonts, margins, make sure it is left justified, alphabetized) and all citations must be APA.
PLEASE NOTE:
DO NOT INCLUDE the section headers listed above in the final paper; they are provided here solely for organizational purposes. -

Title: “Examining and Evaluating Fricker’s Concept of Testimonial Injustice”
In this essay, you will engage with one (or two) of the essays we read in the second half of the course. You can pick the topic.
A philosophy essay involves at least two parts: explaining the argument with which you are engaging and evaluating that argument/adding your own position to the debate.
This is an argumentative essay, so you need to have a thesis statement and defend it throughout the paper.
In other words, in this essay, explain the argument in the essay you’ve chosen, for example, how does Fricker define testimonial injustice? Then engage with her argument. Do you agree with her concept?
An example thesis statement: In this essay, I will argue that X because Y.
Here are some guides for writing a philosophy paper:
