Research Based Argument Essay
.

Assignment Description: This essay will put forth an argument on a topic of your choice that you support with research. The specific number of paragraphs is not important as long as the essay meets the length requirement and includes the key features listed in Writing for Success: Argument. This essay allows for limited first person pronouns. A minimum of three sources from JTCC library databases are required.

In choosing your topic, you will want to be very careful. Make sure that it can be debated and that more than one point of view exists about it; is manageable in its scope (can be covered in some depth in a short essay); concerns something that you have some knowledge about and experience with and does not require you to do extensive research for background and material; and interests you, something that you believe to be important.

Overall, your Research Based Argument essay should—

present a focused and debatable thesis that is clearly stated;

support and develop thesis with strong reasons and evidence;

deliver a coherent argument with an effective organization strategy and transitions;

address at least one counterargument; and

effectively integrate material obtained through at least three outside sources from JTCC library databases.

The purpose of this assignment is threefold: to familiarize you with using JTCC library databases to identify and document source material; to integrate credible outside source material in your own writing; to demonstrate your ability to support and develop a claim in a readable manuscript appropriate for a post-secondary academic community.

A note about research requirements

You are required to use a minimum of three sources from JTCC library databases. JTCC library databases are accessible from home via the Internet.

The library databases you are encouraged to use include Academic Search Complete and QuickSearch. You are encouraged to use these databases because they are great resources for accessing free, credible, and useful information online. Also, course instruction for documenting sources according to MLA guidelines will focus on these databases. No Wikipedia, standard encyclopedia, or dictionary entries are allowed as part of your three sources.

Length: 1500 words minimum

Format requirements:

File type must be .doc, or .docx

MLA guidelines must be followed (including font, page layout, headings, spacing, and citation)

Use a title that does not include the name of or description of the assignment, or the name of the text being analyzed, but rather offers something – an additional perspective on or point of interest in the essay itself.

My professor had the following to say to me once he approved the essay topic choice:

There is the biological side and sociological, both have been studied. You have to make sure you are clear on which society in research and your thesis. You can compare American society to others, but you will have to be clear if American society is the focus. It also has one of the greater disparities between bio and sociological.

The links between African American and African activists in the apartheid era.

 
The paper must contain the following: i) a thorough description of a particular issue, ii) a focus on solutions rather than simply describing a list of problems. The paper must contain some sort of referencing system, or the writer must be able to formally present his or her source material in a way that discusses the nature of the source material and the writer’s own assessment of the validity or otherwise of the source. The format of the paper will be a research paper. Other formats are possible with permission of the instructor but in all cases the paper must address the three areas described above in i) – ii). Paper topics are OPEN, but the paper must address a particular social issue and must describe the efforts of organizations or groups (or in some specific cases individuals), particularly ones led by and organized by Africans themselves to address these issues. You cannot do a paper on the UN Food Project for instance or Doctors Without Borders since these are international NGOs. However, you COULD do a paper on the local workers employed by DWB for example, and discuss the importance of those workers in the efforts of the NGO. The paper must speak about The links between African American and African activists in the apartheid era and how the apartheid inspired the African american community and vise versaless

focus on the role of colonialism in shaping racism and how it created a impoverished economic conditions and social status of african making them degraded to white race .

focus more on the role of african rather than american and how they contributed to the american activist and “black conscience” as they were the inspiration , speak about how religion played a role in activism(slightly) + the role of african NGO’s and organization that contributed more to the case of apartheid

I will upload a file of pervious order done by my the writer in order #81546940 and I want him to do the paper since he did it before and knows what to add and how to extended it.

The file will have notes on the previous paper which the writer should take into consideration and also a name of a book suggested to be put as a source

COLONIAL AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

The purpose of these essays is not to improve your writing skills but to
stimulate thinking about issues, questions, and problems raised by your study of American history from colonial
times to the Civil War. The goal is for you to discover, develop, and clarify your own ideas. You should do the
appropriate reading and reflecting; then write in response to the question for 30-35 minutes. You will not be
judged on things like spelling, organization, and grammar. But we will be looking for evidence that you are
thinking seriously about history. Your essays should show that you are wrestling with concepts explained in the
reading, in lectures and films shown in class, and that you have done your reading and reflection before
attempting your essays. For the most part, you will be rewarded for the process of thinking rather than the act of
composing
Assume that you have the heavy if unhappy responsibility to be King George III’s political advisor. The colonists
have sent along documents including the Resolution for Independence, an excerpt from Paine’s Common Sense,
and a copy of the Declaration of Independence found posted in a PDF file on the course Blackboard site and sent to
you as an email attachment. Your responsibility is to draft a two-page rebuttal to the general points made in those
documents. King George will incorporate your arguments into a speech to Parliament in which he will declare his
thirteen colonies in revolt and call on the House of Commons and House of Lords to support a military effort to put
down the rebellion. If he fails because your rebuttal is not persuasive, you will find yourself chained up in the
Tower of London among the rats, waiting to be broken on the rack and trying in vain to make your peace with your
God.
