Argumentative Essay: What is the Cause of the Current Political Polarization? (4-5 pg essay)
Step 1
Read the following prompt:
Our country is currently experiencing a socio-political polarization it has arguably not seen since the Civil War, as antipathy and outright animosity between people on opposite sides of the political spectrum has increased. While there are many causes-income inequality, demographic changes, extremist political ideologies-you will be asked to choose what you believe is the single greatest contributor to the current crisis is and make an argument. As this is not a history or political science class, you need not focus so much on whether your answer is right or wrong per say, but on how well you make your point. What rhetorical strategies will you employ (do not tell us what these are in your paper, by the way-a clever writer and speaker never reveals her tricks!) to persuade your readers? What evidence will you provide to support your claims? Step 2
Research your subject. You will need at least three sources (at least 1 must be from the readings in class). Make sure that your sources are credible. This link is for the chapter that you will be referring to as one of the sources. The chapter you will refer to is called “Why America is Self-Segregating”. This chapter is pg 219-228. https://archive.org/details/they-say-i-say-textboo…
Step 3
Write your essay.
Your essay should be about 4-5 pages and address the prompt above.
It should adhere to MLA format (double-spaced, use 12 font Calibri or Times New Roman) and cite authors accordingly.
The works cited page must be written on a separate page and include at least three sources (refer to MLA Format in the Week 2 Module).
MLA Format:
-Double-space the text of your paper
-12 pt. font, Calibri or Times New Roman
-1 inch margins on all sides
-Indent the first line of each paragraph one half-inch from the left margin
-How to Format the First Page
-In the upper left-hand corner of the first page, list your name, your instructor’s name, the course, and the date. Be sure to use double-spaced text.
-Double space again and center the title. Do not underline, italicize, or place your title in quotation marks. Do not write the entire title in capital letters (only the first letter of each major word).
-Double space between the title and the first line of the text.
-Create a header in the upper right-hand corner that includes your last name, followed by a space with a page number. How to Structure Your Essay:
Introduction (1-2 paragraphs)
Your introduction should do the following:
Introduce your argument. The stand you take should be clear. What is the single greatest problem causing our current socio-political crisis? Briefly state some of your reasons for believing this. Body (3-4 paragraphs) Your body paragraphs should do the following:
Discuss your specific claims. Each claim should be discussed in a separate paragraph. What specific evidence do you provide to back your argument and claims? Which texts or authors are you basing your arguments on? (Do not forget parenthetical citations)
Include your opponents’ counterarguments in one of your body paragraphs. How will you respond to those who disagree with you?
Conclusion (1-2 paragraphs)
Your conclusion should wrap everything up. You can briefly restate your thesis and emphasize why this subject matters. You could consider addressing the following questions:
Why does your argument or the subject itself, matter?
What should your audience further consider regarding your subject?
What possible solutions might you suggest to address the problem(s) facing our nation?
Try to end your paper on a strong note.

“Comparing the Efficacy of Compensatory and Rehabilitative Approaches in Dysphagia Treatment: A Case Study Analysis”
1.
An analysis of an empirical research study that
is 10 years or less in age and that provides support for either the
compensatory approach or the rehabilitative approach (given) that you select. This
section should be 3-4 pages in length.
Short-Term Goals
Compensatory
Approach (1 week):
§
Within one week, Ana
will utilize compensatory swallow strategies and maintain a chin-tuck posture
during oral intake to consume IDDSI level 4 (pureed) safely and adequately and
IDDSI level 3 (moderately liquids) with maximum assistance, thereby reducing
the risk of aspiration.
Rehabilitative
Approach (2 weeks):
Ana will
initiate oral motor exercises targeting lingual strengthening and
coordination within two weeks with maximum assistance.
Brief
Description of Treatment Approaches:
Compensatory
Approach: Focuses on adapting the environment or behavior to improve
safety and function without directly changing the underlying impairment.
For example, using a specific posture to reduce aspiration risk.
Rehabilitative
Approach: Aims to improve or restore function by directly addressing the
underlying impairment through exercises or therapies. For example,
targeting specific muscle groups for strengthening and coordination to
improve swallowing function.
Case Study information: 1. The IMPRESSIONS from the MBS report are
as follows:
a.
Severe dysphagia characterized by piecemeal oral
transfer of pudding consistency, delayed pharyngeal swallow response, impaired
laryngeal closure, and impaired pharyngeal motility
b.
Laryngeal penetration down to the level of the
folds secondary to impaired laryngeal closure and also due to impaired
pharyngeal motility. Over the course of several swallows, including dry
swallows, the penetrated material accumulated to the point of causing
aspiration up to the 5% level.
c.
No cough in response to laryngeal penetration
and aspiration.

Title: The Battle of Science vs. Faith: An Analysis of Hitchens and Craig’s Use of the Scientific Method and Good-Faith Argumentation in their Debate
Write an 6-page interpretive essay that demonstrates, using evidence from the debate itself, that either Hitchens or Craig–who both evoke science in their arguments–is the debater with the greatest allegiance to the scientific method, as we will come to define this in class, and to good-faith argumentation in the Socratic sense. You may not choose a middle ground and say that both sides are equally Sophistic and Socratic. It is up to you to choose how you make your determination, but your terms of analysis, your yardstick by which you make your decision, should be usefully clear in the first part of your thesis section.
You must have a paragraph that offers a road map—”In this essay I will. . .” in which you name your yardstick methodology and specifically name the aspects of bad-faith argumentation that you will be exploring. And then say that you will, in your conclusion, be addressing the likely negative consequences for engaging in this kind of bad-faith argumentation.
For a conclusion: make a forward-thinking case about the negative consequences in a pluralistic society for making bad-faith arguments in favor of science AND for faith. In other words, no matter who you think is making the better, good-faith case in this debate, use the conclusion to contemplate the negative consequences for those who debate in bad faith. For example: if you think Hitchens is the best “good-faith” debater, what would a “bad faith” argument in favor of science look like and what might the likely consequences of that be? Conversely, if you think Craig, a man of evident faith, is making a bad-faith argument, what would a better, good-faith argument look like? What are the negative consequences for Christianity when a Christian apologist ignores this? -
