Follow rubric and additional instruction 
I already have a topic memo completed ( has thesis statetment and bib) which is your base for this essay, encourgarged to use only the provided resources but if you really need to change it then let me know and no more then 11 resources. 
Each student will write a research paper based upon the Topic Selection Memo outlined above and the peer review feedback from Eli Review. Strong papers should have a clear research question, state a clear falsifiable argument or thesis, and provide evidence to support the argument and counter alternative arguments. The final paper should be at least 2,500 words long (and no more than 3,750 words), not including the bibliography 
The structure of the essay is fairly straightforward — it’s a standard argumentative essay: question, thesis, evidence and analysis, and rebuttals to counterarguments. • Question: What is the research question and why is it important? • Thesis: What is your primary argument regarding the question? • Evidence: What evidence do you have to support your claim? Be sure to define key terms, provide information from the literature that supports your argument. Since you’ll be drawing on existing papers for evidence, cite extensively to make it clear which papers each piece of evidence is drawn from. • Argument/Analysis: Cite specific pieces of evidence (facts, data, interpretation) from the articles you’ve gathered to make and support your argument • Rebuttals to Counterarguments: If you argue that X caused Y, consider whether there are reasonable claims that some other factor Z caused Y. If you argue that X is increasing, consider reasonable perspectives that X is not increasing or is decreasing. If you argue that X was successful, make a good effort to present why someone might argue that X was not successful. If possible, consider the validity of 2-3 three alternative answers to your research questions, drawing on the literature and citing research. Offer thoughts on the credibility of the alternative arguments. Explain why your argument still stands up in the light of these alternatives

Must be supported with comparative and empirical evidence.  use at least 3 quotes from the text attached.

La costituzione formale è il documento che sancisce il patto fondativo di uno Stato. La costituzione materiale è il modo in cui effettivamente le istituzioni funzionano; è la realtà concreta del vivere democratico.
Esiste in Italia un divario tra Costituzione formale e materiale? Relativamente a quali articoli? Perchè l’esistenza di un divario può essere pericolosa per la democrazia? Quali strategie le istituzioni, i partiti, i cittadini, la società civile devono attivare per ridurre tale divario?

Paper Prompt on China’s Future
For the following essay, write a five to seven page paper addressing one of the following prompts. Make sure to incorporate David Shambaugh’s China’s Future as well as the text’s arguments and evidence into your essays and address the main issues raised by the book.  Your essays will be due on May 23rd, 2024 on Canvas by the end of the day.  Please make sure your papers  follow these formatting guidelines:
•    Separate cover page
•    Standard 12 point Font such as Times, Times New Roman, or Helvetica
•    Normally spaced margins and double-spacing
•    Proper form of citation with a works cited page if using outside sources
•    A total of five to seven pages (not including cover page and works cited)
With respect to the four pathways referenced by Shambaugh, what will be China’s pathway? Why would that pathway be the most likely and how would it come about?  In your answer, refer to the economic, social, political, and global reasons why that pathway is the most probable. And explain why the other three pathways are less likely than the one you discuss.  Finally, compare and contrast your analysis with that of Shambaugh to explain how your outcome mirrors or differs from that of the author of China’s Future.   
Why has China not yet become a democracy?  Address the factors and features of China’s polity, society, and economy that explain why China has not adopted a democratic form of government.  What prevents its emergence and formation in China?  What encourages its emergence and formation?  Referring back to the Narrow Corridor, what keeps China outside the corridor?  Why hasn’t a red queen effect taken hold in China as of yet?    In your essay, address both the comparative understanding of democracy and the theory of modernization as well as the present day realities of contemporary China under Xi JInping and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP.   Will democracy and liberty ever emerge in China?  Why or why not?  
What has changed in the last nine years in China that alters Shambaugh’s assessment of China’s future from when he wrote this book in 2015?  What events, policies, shifts, and actions have altered China’s pathway?  Or have they, in fact, altered that pathway at all?  In your essay, address what Shambaugh explains has led China to the current pathway, and then engage why China has or has not deviated from that pathway.  Be sure to engage the political, economic, and social dimensions of what has happened in China in the last eight years by using at least four outside academic and/or journalistic sources.  
How has Xi Jinping altered China’s pathway?  What has he done as President and Chairman of the CCP that has shifted or adjusted the pathway on which China has been moving?  In your essay, address the nature of Marxist-Leninist system and China’s one party state and how Xi has impacted both party and state.  Also bring to bear in your analysis the ways Xi has tried to shape Chinese society and citizens.  What major initiatives has he pursued?  How have they been implemented?  How have these initiative shaped China’s present and future?  In addition to the book, please use at least four outside academic and/or journalistic sources.          This is the chinas future book. [archiveorg chinasfuture0000sham width=560 height=384 frameborder=0 webkitallowfullscreen=true mozallowfullscreen=true]

Give your paper a title
This is a three-part assignment. For full credit you must complete all parts.
Part 1 – Reflection essay, minimum 800 words – this should be broken down into at least three paragraphs
Part 2 – Complete full sugar gram research on all 6 categories of processed food (no word minimum in this section, but be sure to provide all of the required information)
Part 3 – List the top 5 ‘sugar gram containing’ foods that you consumed this week. The point of this is for you to read labels. This is not judgmental. This is educational. The “food” industry would prefer that consumers pay no attention to their sugar consumption. The experts featured in this film take the opposite position and issue cautionary warnings about unchecked sugar consumption.

Part I – Write a reflection on the politics of food that were presented in this film. Include detail on how the food industry operates to maximize profit at the expense of consumers. Include specific detail on the politicians who support This means at least 800 words on ‘Fed Up.’ Some things to consider: What did you learn? What surprised you?
Include responses to these questions:
What did you think of the Department of Agriculture’s conflict of interest to encourage Americans to eat what it characterizes as a “healthier diet” while also subsidizing the production of non-healthy food?
What did you think about the altering of the McGovern Report and the World Health Organization’s report?
Did you know that food lobbies, like ‘Big Sugar’ and ‘Big Dairy’ were so powerful? What lobbyist said that soft drinks could provide the daily recommended intake of liquid? What lobbyist talked about Ronald McDonald? What did she say? What lobbyist talked about soft drinks, and what did he say?
What did you think of food industry representatives as they insisted that their products were not harmful to consumers?
Who are the featured children in the film? Name them. How much does each of them weigh? What are their stories? How are their stories similar and how are they different? Who among them will undergo surgery (explain what kind of surgery) because of their obesity?
Include this: what politician worked to make pizza a vegetable? (Hint: she ran for president)
A question for you to consider: how much processed food do you consume on a daily/weekly/monthly basis? Do you rely on fast food and processed food? Or, do you cook? Some of both?
Part II – Do you read labels? You will for this assignment. In your local grocery store, corner market, 7-11, wherever packaged and processed food is sold, you will do some research find these items and report on their nutritional content. You can also go online to find labels:
5 different cereals – give the actual brand name and product name and list the sugar content per serving
Example: General Mills, Trix, 10grams
5 different juices (only100% juice products, that is no sugar added juices and no artificial sweeteners added) – give the actual brand name and product name and list the sugar content per serving
Example: Martinelli’s, apple juice, 39 grams
DO NOT LIST PUNCH – Punch is NOT juice. If you list any type of punch, you will not receive credit for that entry. If you are not sure, email me and ask.
JUICE DEFINITION: 100% liquid extract from plants –– only fruits or vegetables or a combination of both – NOTHING else is added (except ascorbic acid, which is Vitamin C, used as a preservative). No water, flavorings, colorings, etc.
5 different canned fruits 100% fruit:
No ADDED sugar – NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS
– give the brand name and product name and list the sugar content per serving
5 different types of sugared soda (No diet sodas! No artificial sweeteners! No Stevia-sweetened sodas!) – give the brand name and product name and list the sugar content per serving
5 different baby food items no-sugar added fruits or vegetables or juices (no meats or cereals or crackers or yogurt allowed here), packaged in a jar or pouch or bottle –– give the brand name and product name and list the amount of sugar per serving.
One brand of baby formula – list the first ingredient and the grams of sugar per serving and the carbohydrates per serving. Baby formula manufacturers are getting very sneaky, and laws allowing them to hide sugar on the labels are becoming common. Many formulas hide the sugar under ‘carbohydrates.’ We now know that corn syrup or high fructose corn syrup are sugars. Many baby formulas list corn syrup or lactose as the first ingredient, then claim 0 grams of sugar. These sugars are listed as carbohydrates to make it appear that the product contains no sugar.
Part III – The third part of this assignment is to keep track of what you eat for one week. Start reading labels and noting the sugar content. The sugar content in 100% juice products may shock you. When fruits are processed (cooked) this chemical process radically increases the sugar content. As you will learn from the film, when the fiber is removed from fresh fruits and vegetables and these are turned into juices, the sugar content soars.
For this section, list the top five sugar-containing foods you consumed this week. List the item and the grams of sugar it contained:
Example:
Yoplait Strawberry yogurt: 20g of sugar
Food 1/sugar content:
Food 2/sugar content:
Food 3/sugar content:
Food 4/sugar content:
Food 5/sugar content:  

• Choose ONE policy issue from the list below. If a policy issue is addressed on one of the party platforms but not the other, then
you must investigate the candidate’s other speeches for evidence of a position on
the issue. Sometimes, a missing position statement indicates something *wink* • Identify and describe each political party’s political ideology and position on the issue (the “what”) o. In other words, what does the document state as their position? If a statement is missing, then attempt to explain why it is missing.

impact their understanding of the assigned issue (the “why”)
• Further examine each political party’s position on the issue by looking at ONE
application that best applies:
o Equality 
o Power
o Justice 
The suggested policy issue I have chosen is covid 19.
