  • “Comparing Characters in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar: An Exploration of Thinkers and Orators”

    research paper on shakespeare julius cesar, but with this option you can choose to do a comparison/contrast paper. For example, you might compare Anthony to Brutus as a thinker and orator. Or, if you’ve read other Shakespeare plays, you could compare two characters from two plays, something like exploring Othello’s flaws as a critical thinker to a character in JC. Or, if you see a really strong connection, compare a character from JC to any other character in another book, play, or movie that you’ve read. Argue, for example, that Portia is comparable to Jane Eyre (ok, that example is a stretch, but you get the point).

  • 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.

    A Post-Writing Statement is a piece of writing that reflects about a project that you recently completed. In your Post-Writing Statement, you should discuss the ways that theories of writing influenced your writing choices.
    Review your Pre-Writing Statement. Review your Revision Statement. Review your Final Draft. Review your Reading Notes. Think about how your Final Draft connects to our theories of writing. I suggest brainstorming answers to these questions:

    How did theories of writing influence my choices? Make sure to include the name of the theory, the writer who expressed it, and a brief explanation of the theory (you can include a quotation if you would like).
    I have attached my final draft to use for this.

  • Title: Navigating Foreign Cultures: Lessons from The Alchemist

    Read the book: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
    One major point of the novella is Santiago’s navigation of a foreign culture. Initially, his naiveté hinders his ability succeed, and it costs him dearly in the purse. However, he perseveres by learning about the culture he is navigating, and his hard work pays off as he continues to follow his personal legend. What does the text say about learning about foreign cultures?  Does the text encourage cultural travelers to assimilate to the culture they live in, encourage them to only navigate the foreign culture for survival, or does the text suggest a hybrid of these approaches? Be sure to use evidence from both the text and your own navigation within cultures; remember that the U.S. is a country built on the inclusion of diverse cultures, and we can see that in the Chicago/Downstate divide, city/country, farmer/factory worker.
