Final Paper: Students will write a Research Paper on “Fashion and/as Culture in Italy.” This is simply a broad subject area. When beginning to write the paper, students will need to narrow their investigation and choose their specific topic within the broad subject area. For example:
Based on the art and fashion’s long-standing relationship, explore the influence of the great Italian Art on the Italian men’s and women’s way of dressing.
Considering Fashion a mirror of our times, explore how Italian Fashion reflects the way of life of the Italians;
Compare and contrast the development of Italian Fashion with fashion from another country.
Paper must include a title, a clear thesis statement, a Work Cited list, and a Bibliography.
Students are required to locate independently and use at least 4 sources relevant to their proposed research paper topic (documentaries, books, articles, etc.) One of those 4 sources must be a peer-reviewed article.
Thesis: It is because of Italy’s rich social and artistic culture that they have a distinct and influential fashion industry, one that continues to influence western standards and pop culture.

“Building Sustainable Communities: Applying a Preliminary Model for Community Capacity in the Wichita-Sedgwick County Region” “Exploring the Relationship between X and Y: A Statistical Analysis using SPSS” Introduction In statistical analysis, correlation refers to the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. It is an important tool in understanding the association between different variables and
Sustainable communities are the product of strategic decisions,
actions and investments guided by an underlying theory that can be tested through
empirical evidence and adjusted (Bridge between Theory and Practice) to more
accurately reflect reality. Models are
often contextual in nature and must either, be modified for each context or
model builders must strive for generalizability. For the third paper, you are part of a policy
team that advises key community leaders and public officials of the Wichita-Sedgwick
County region on the Preliminary Model for
Building Community Capacity in preparation for the Perfect Storm. The
intent of the policy team is to test the proposed model and to provide insight
about possible actions and investments consistent with a sustainable community.

The critical appraisal is a formal writing assignment, and you are to submit a formal paper. It needs to both look and sound scholarly. You will need a title page and a reference page, but you do not need an abstract. Your paper will need an introductory paragraph (at least three sentences by definition), the body of the paper which is the appraisal part, and a conclusion (again, at least a three-sentence paragraph). Please note that the introduction should introduce the reader to your document and there should not be much information about the published article in the introduction.
You will use APA format for the title page, headings, citations (citing references in the text), quotations, references, page numbering, font, line spacing, margins, and other items.
You will need to elaborate on each section. Do not just say, “Yes, the title is a good one” or “No, the abstract does not summarize well.” Be specific and give examples as appropriate. It is fine to say that the article’s content does not meet expectations and should have included this, that, and the other. The appraisal needs to address both the strengths and weaknesses of the research report. If information is missing, then say so. -
“Thought Experiments: Using Valid and Sound Arguments to Address Philosophical and Social Issues” “Building Trust in Arguments: An Annotated Bibliography and Self-Assessment of 3-Line Arguments”
his assignment works in tandem with our other assignments.
Overview
Your task is to write a short argument paper that addresses a problem a thought experiment can help us think through.
We want you to build a sound argument, one that is both valid and has true premises. The most interesting arguments are ones that propose imaginative but coherent solutions to questions we don’t have a census on yet. Sound arguments are ones that are both:
Have a valid form
Have premises that are true.
By valid form, all we mean is that the structure of the argument supports the conclusion. We always want to use and be able to show that our claims are true and that they reasonably reflect the best of what we think is going on in the world. Here, you’ll show that by providing citations and telling us why the citation is a good one.
Finally, arguments are not trophies, they are instances of communication between real and thoughtful people. Have that guide your work; imagine your reader is really curious about what you have to say and actually wants to collaborate with you on the problem.
Be curious!
Directions.
1. Think of some interesting philosophical question or social issue this class might help illuminate. You’ll be using one of the many thought experiments from the Choosing a Thought Experiment assignment to frame and reply to the question you select, so make sure they vibe well together.
2. Complete the Annotated Bibliography Entries 1 and 2 Worksheet and Annotated Bibliography Entries 3 and 4 Worksheet assignments to get a basic level of understanding the issues and concerns that your thought experiment might help us think through.
3. Complete Validity of Standard Argument to develop your own solution. (Do not cop out and leave it at “people disagree” or “it’s hard, so… yeah.” levels of analysis. Be bold and make a good and reasoned proposal.)
4. With all the core work out of the way, it is time to write your paper! You need to use the following template:
Paper-Short Argument Template-v.1.0-FA23.09.docxDownload Paper-Short Argument Template-v.1.0-FA23.09.docx
5. With that loaded, watch the video directions:
Required Outline
You will need to use the following structure in your paper. You will be graded on each component.
Components 1-4 are worth 25% of the assignment points.
Introduction
Sketch out what we are talking about and what’s at stake by writing out a few paragraphs that cover the following:
What thought experiment are you using?
What makes it interesting to you?
What area of philosophy or society does the thought experiment help us think about? What themes does the thought experiment address?
What difficulty in philosophy or problem in society do you want to address with the thought experiment?
What is the solution, otherwise known as the conclusion, to your argument?
How does the thought experiment help address the difficulty or problem?
The 3-line argument itself
Now you need to list your argument in what’s known as standard form. This will let us create and verify a valid deductive argument, one that is true any time you plug true premises into. All you’ll have is a three-line argument or a chain of three-line arguments, where you re-use the conclusion of the first argument as a premise in the next.
So, all you need to do is list the
2 premises and
Conclusion
Explanation of Soundness
Pull out your Validity of Standard Argument. In it, you used the chapter from Weston on deductive arguments Download chapter from Weston on deductive arguments.
Write up a paragraph or two explaining how the argument form you used above has the same structure as one of the valid forms he lists. The emphasis is on form and structure, not content. Take note of how the premises and conclusions are worded in each example from Weston.
Explanation of True Premises
The other part of a sound argument is that the premises are true. You have already done the legwork here by completing the Selecting a Thought Experiment, Annotated Bibliography Entries 1 and 2 Worksheet and Annotated Bibliography Entries 3 and 4 Worksheet assignments.
So, your task in this section of the paper is to explain how the reader can trust your premises from your argument.
You will need to cite robustly from the readings here. Remember, you need to convince an uninformed reader that they should accept the claims you make in a three-line argument.
Bibliography
This is a simple list of all sources you touched, thought about, quoted, and referenced while doing this assignment, both the ones listed below and the ones used to support your claims. Alphabetize these by author.
Self-Assessment
Thoughtfully and critically reflect on your work. How good is it? Is it good enough? Is it excellent?

Self and Peer Assessment
You and two peers will assess your work. If there is a broad and reasonable consensus, I’ll go with one or an average of your scores. I may judge a different score is warranted for the final grade.
Criteria to Assess
Is the 3-line argument itself a sound (valid + true premises) argument?
Is the form explained with references to the valid form used?
Is the trustworthiness of the sources both accurate as well as thoughtfully reflected upon?
If this was given to a thoughtful friend of yours, would they learn something?
Here is how I want you to think through assessing work.
Grade Tier Level Notes
A (100%) Excellent This is reserved for work of exceptional quality. Think about the meaningful length, cleverness, critical and sound thinking, carefully examining evidence or reflecting upon claims.
B (85%) Pretty Good Work that goes well beyond merely meeting the requirements. This can be in terms of prose, clarity, wit, depth, extra research, etc
C (74%) Just Fine This is your baseline. Work that meets the requirements and does so reasonably well with sufficient depth to cover the basics of the assignment earns this grade. Make sure there are no major problems.
D (62%) Meh Something is wrong. Most of the work isn’t bad, but there’s a problem. Maybe it is a lot of rhetorical questions in a row, wordy prose, etc.
High F (50%) Doesn’t Cut It Work that gets at the core of the assignment but is incomplete, incoherent, or has multiple significant problems.
Looooow F (0%) Can’t Even Work that is missing, plagiarized, or has extreme problems. -

The Negative Influence of Peer Pressure on Students “The Temptation and Consequences of Peer Pressure: Examining its Impact on Behavior and Self-Esteem”
Peer Pressure
Do you think there are
influencers who may affect a person negatively or positively? There are a lot
of people influence people in so different ways like the close people to us,
such as family, friends and even the society . These people greatly influence
our decisions, thoughts and the way we act in life. One of the biggest
influences is peer pressure. Peer pressure is a silent force capable of
steering individuals toward actions they might otherwise avoid, highlighting
the complex interplay between social desires and personal choices. This
research will shed light on how peer pressure has a negative influence on
students.
First, peer
pressure can make students develop some harmful and bad habits such as bullying
behaviors, drinking alcohol, drugs and cigarettes use and negative body image,
which may cause a lot of harm to others and the surroundings community. Students
may adopt the behaviors of their peers to integrate or be accepted, even if
those behaviors are harmful. According to a study published in Developmental
Psychology: “In adolescence, the presence of peers increases the likelihood of
engaging in risky behaviors such as substance use and dangerous driving”
(Gardner & Steinberg, 2005).
Another
reason why peer pressure has a negative influence on students is that peer
pressure affects students’ self-esteem. Peer
pressure may lead students to be dissatisfied with what they have and to make
frequent comparisons between themselves and their peers, leading to a change in
their behavior, personality and their attempt to please everyone at the expense
of themselves. This can lead to a constant desire to get more or better,
leaving students feeling powerless because they do not have what others have.
Additionally, pressure to conform to peer standards creates feelings of
inferiority, leading students to seek affirmation through material possessions
or accomplishments. To elaborate, psychological pressures can influence
students to seek a certain social status or popularity among their peers,
making them feel nihilistic if they see themselves as not exceeding
expectations. “Peer pressure can significantly impact students’ self-esteem,
often leading to feelings of inadequacy or low self-worth” (Brown, 2012).
On the other
hand, some people believe that peer pressure has more advantages than
disadvantages. To clarify, peer pressure can encourage students to participate
in extracurricular activities and develop new skills. For instance, a student
may join the school band because their friends are also members, and in the
process, discover a passion for music. Another example is a student being
motivated to try out for a sports team because their peers are involved,
leading to improved physical fitness and social skills. A study indicated
that:” Peer pressure is
not always negative. Sometimes, it inculcates new hobbies, habits, attitudes
health conscience or a strong urge to succeed amongst people and where this
happens, it is positive.” (Adeyemi Raphael, 2024). Another study indicated that: “Peer pressure
can contribute to developing students’ communication and teamwork skills,
enhancing their overall social abilities” (Lewis, 2019). Thus, peer pressure
can play a major role in encouraging students to participate in various
activities, highlighting the importance of positive peer influence in
educational environments. However, despite these advantages, I firmly stand by
the position that peer pressure has more drawbacks than advantages.
In
conclusion, peer pressure can have both advantages and disadvantages influences
on individuals, particularly students. While it can encourage participation in
extracurricular activities and enhance the development of new skills, it often
leads to the adoption of harmful behaviors and negatively impacts self-esteem.
The pressure to conform to peer standards can lead to dissatisfaction,
comparison, and a constant desire for more, ultimately affecting students’
sense of self-worth. Thus, while positive peer influences exist, the harmful
effects of peer pressure on behavior and self-esteem outweigh its benefits. -
