Please review the thesis and outline you provided for order 81518534. I think there was a bit of misunderstanding on that order. Below are the instructions for the paper, and please the references from order 8158534 and more if need be.
The major project here is based on the development of a statement of rights for the fictional island of Tagg. Here are the basic facts concerning Tagg. It will be important throughout this course:
The Island Nation of Tagg is composed of five separate islands in the Pacific Ocean. The islands are located in a circular pattern. All of the islands are within 200 miles of each other. The largest island has a population of 350,000 people. The other four islands have a population of 100,000 people each. Tagg is more than 500 miles from land in all directions. In your Final Project, be sure to address how this Island Nation will organize and govern itself. The government organized under the Constitution of Tagg must provide for the representation and government of all people residing on any of the islands within Tagg.
About three months ago, the islands were visited for the first time by a geological survey ship blown off course by the winds of the Pacific. While at anchorage and while meeting the indigenous population (their language was similar although not as well evolved as other Pacific Islanders), some of the scientists on the ship conducted some preliminary surveys and found the beginnings of oil. The ship’s team convinced the island leader and the Council that it was a good thing to have an official team visit to check for oil deposits. A month later, the next ship arrived with a drill and discovered oil. That discovery brought a wave of folks to the island. The leader is very distraught about how to benefit from the discovery while not changing the wonderful aspects of their society.
You were on the first boat as a guest of the captain. You are a graduate student in a Legal Studies program at Kaplan University. The leader and the Council got to know you and believe that you had a good heart. That was always the guiding principle of decisions of the leader and the Council and the village chiefs who made decisions. You decided to come back on the second boat because you were interested in seeing what happens and you have some concerns about the indigenous people of Tagg.
Throughout this course, you will continue to interact with the people of Tagg and will work to develop a Statement of Rights for the citizens of Tagg. As you begin your work in this course, you should start thinking about which rights are most important. The Statement of rights will be your cumulative project for the course.
Final Project: Statement of Individual Rights
Your Final Project, the Statement of Individual Rights for the Island Nation of Tagg, is due at the end of this unit. The Final Project is to be organized into two parts and must be a comprehensive discussion of political philosophy and individual rights for the citizens of the Island Nation of Tagg. This final submission should incorporate and respond to comments received on the previously submitted draft.
Part One:
The Island Nation of Tagg has a very strong patriarchal tradition of “top-down” management. The Council of Elders and the Leader have been very prescriptive in determining the philosophy of the nation and what values it considers important. The Elders and the Leader nevertheless realize that, given Tagg’s increasingly diverse population, patriarchal control will come to an end and a more pluralistic and democratic society will emerge.
However, the Elders and the Leader are concerned about the influence of values from the outside with the arrival of outside people in connection with the discovery of oil. Given the material you have studied in the course and your own understanding, you need to provide an analysis and Statement of Individual Rights to guide the Island Nation in establishing its legal philosophy for the future.
Write an introductory supporting analysis that discusses the legal and political philosophical principles that should be adhered to by the Nation of Tagg and its political establishment, which reflect a very open process where the values and legal thinking are set through popular determination. The analysis should cover some of the principles you have covered in class like the natural law, and legal positivism, and draw on some of the historical events you have discussed as well. Additionally, examine how one’s perspective toward multiculturalism and diversity impacts might impact the Island Nation of Tagg senario. Remember that the analysis needs to be consistent with the Statement of Individual Rights that you will have identified in the second part of the Final Project.
Part Two:
Revisit the Statement of Individual Rights you created in Unit 2. Consider revising your list based on what you have learned this term. You should include a minimum of five individual rights and no more than ten individual rights. Please make the rights specific. Consider various texts: (U.S. Constitution, EU Constitution, and FDR’s proposed rights.)You should clearly state each right, followed by at least two paragraphs that describe the right and the understanding you have attached to the right.
The aim of the Final Project is designed to bring together the concepts of the historical and philosophical evolution of individual liberties and of justice. Your analytical section should include references to historical and philosophical material that you have read as to individual rights and liberties.
The analysis (Part One) should be 3-5 pages in length. The length of the body of your Statement of Individual Rights (Part Two) will vary based on the number of rights you identify and the support you offer for each, but should probably be an additional 2-3 pages in length. The entire Final Project should be between 5-8 pages, if you identify a minimum of five individual rights.

Internal and External Strengths and weaknesses
Discussion Questions based on possible weaknesses in methods
It has been said that host-governments ‘concedes’ control or sovereign rights over their countries’
natural resources to foreign oil companies.
Your task is to critically evaluate on whether this statement is still applicable in the present climate of the global oil and gas industry.
NB: Your evaluation must reveal evidence of sufficient reading and research, and, must refer to industry related academic journals and articles adequately.
Writing to Solve Problems
Assignment: Think about some problem in your community, such as litter that does not get picked up, gang violence, job losses, high housing prices, a lack of parks, or big-box stores moving in or closing down, propose a feasible solution to this problem, and justify your solution with reasons and evidence. To brainstorm ideas, think about what is problematic in your community or what seems to be a pressing problem, what has been done so far to resolve it, what solutions have been suggested, what your solution is to this problem, and why your solution is the best one.
Overused Topics: Unless you have a personal connection to the topic and have obtained permission from your instructor, don’t focus your project on any of following issues, as they either a) are too generic or common, b) don’t promote creative idea generation, or c) lack sufficient depth. Instead, challenge yourself to research and learn about a topic that you don’t know much about.
Abortion, death penalty, decriminalization of marijuana, euthanasia, eating disorders or body image, global warming, negative effects of the media, religion or God, stem cells or cloning, steroids, recycling, homelessness, gun control, sex education, animal testing, gay marriage, immigration, vaccination.
Part 1: Specifics of the Proposal:
1. Your argument should have the following features:
– Description of the problem (Persuade your audience that this is a genuine problem that needs solving; give it presence; explain why it is a serious problem that needs to be resolved.)
– Description of the best solution (a proposal for action) that will help alleviate the problem (Show your audience that your solution is logical, feasible, and practical; give details as to how it will be executed.)
– Justification of the solution (Give 2-3 reasons why your audience should accept your proposal and act on it; what reasons would they be more likely to accept?)
– Description of 2-3 alternative solutions that have been suggested by others previously, followed by an explanation of why yours is more effective than those in resolving the problem
– Summarization of the concerns and objections that your audience may bring up, followed by your rebuttal (Address 2-3 counter-arguments.)
2. Since proposals aim to bring about change, your audience should be decision-makers, people in power who can implement your solution and make that change happen. Remember that your voice, justifying reasons, and evidence should be geared towards this specific audience.
3. You must use at least 6 academic and credible sources to support your opinions. At least 3 of these sources should be from ASU library databases. They should be incorporated into the essay effectively by using signal phrases and cited correctly. (If you haven’t already, make sure to watch the videos in the “Research Help” and “Documenting Sources” modules for reference.)
Length: 1500-2000 words of typed text (excluding the References list) and in APA style. It must be submitted as a Word document as doc, docx, or rtf file — not pages or odt.
Note: For this project, besides an academic essay, you can also pick another genre that might be more suitable to present your proposal for the audience you are targeting. Possible genres are discussed in chapter 12; for example, you may consider writing it in the form of a letter, newspaper article/editorial, magazine article, detailed memo, etc. Think about your audience and their expectations to determine which form of text you need to use. Regardless of the genre you choose, the written text must meet the length, number of sources, and citation requirements.

Assignment Task
Energy Storage Systems
The oil and gas industries are already invested heavily in the renewable energy field, in general, and energy storage systems, in particular. Parallel to the above, development in Solar-PV and Wind- Turbine are progressing continuously in the form of higher efficiency, lower cost and wider commercial availability. However, the above two systems depend on energy storage systems (e.g. batteries) in order to provide continuous power supply.
As a consultant, you have been invited to examine energy storage systems, in general, and the connection to Solar-PV and Wind-Turbine, in particular, in order to report the following:
1. Storage systems – positive and negative aspects.
2. The commercial availability of energy storage systems which can be used to support some of the renewable energy applications, other than batteries.
3. The impacts on the environment during the usage of these energy systems, and the waste produced from some of these systems, if any, at the end of their life cycle.
4. Your cost-effective recommendations for an efficient energy storage for solar-PV and Wind-
Turbines systems
Order description: Assignment Brief
You are required to identify a specific focus (topic) from the programme and critically analyse the employee relations issue as they are manifest in your topic of choice.
You should identify and evaluate the ways in which the relevant actors*, that is, the state, employers and employees (including the trade unions) play a role in the employee relations issue that you have identified. It will also be appropriate and important to critically evaluate the way that these three sets of social actors impact on and influence the balance of power in the employee relations issue you have identified.
Your answer should draw on relevant theory and you should illustrate your work with appropriate organizational examples. You may if you wish draw on more than one national context to illustrate your answer.
*which of the specific ‘actors’ you should mostly focus on will depend on your choice of topic.
Guidance on the process of identifying a specific topic for your assignment
Try to identify an area/ topic of interest from the menu of topics in the programme. The topic may be something specific that we have not addressed directly in class but your answer will address the roles played by each set of social actors (the state, employees and their representatives and the employers) and will thus rely on the material that we have addressed throughout the module programme.
To get you thinking about possible topics these are some choices made in previous years:
• To what extent is it desirable and practical that statutory measures be used to curb strikes in key industries/occupations?
• Employee Relations in contemporary work settings (eg call centres, knowledge intensive firms)
• Diversity issues in Employee Relations
• Changing patterns of representation.
• The analysis of a current or recent industrial dispute? (Post Office Workers, Fire service, Morrisons, Prison officers, Local Government workers, British Airways workers, Teachers)
• What future is there for collective bargaining or collectivism in general?
• Changing patterns of pay determination
• Impact of Working Time Directive on working patterns
• Changing Trade Union agendas and priorities.
• An analysis of the situation of Chinese construction workers
• A critical evaluation of the role of the state in employee relations in China
• A critical evaluation of the role of Trade Unions in China
• An analysis of the labour market position of Eastern European migrant workers in the UK
In addressing your chosen topic please note the following assessment criteria
1 Demonstration of critical understanding of Employee Relations issues
2 Analysis of the roles of the state, employers and employees (and their trade unions) with regard to your identified topic as appropriate
3 Analysis of the balance of power between the actors (employees & their trade unions, employers and the state) as relevant to your topic
4 Integration of theory and practice (include examples of organizational or government policy and practice where relevant)
5 Effective written communication
6 Appropriate referencing to academic texts and journals
Presentation Format
The assignment shall be submitted in the form of an extended essay with appropriate sub-headings.
Assignments shall be 4,500 words in length. Good referencing should be evident throughout.
It is important to start early with this assignment as it constitutes 100% of the module marks. The submission of a 250 word synopsis in class on 26th October and the Assignment support sessions w/c 16th November are designed to enable you to keep ‘on track’ with these assessment requirements.

1. Abstract: Describe the content of your paper in 5-10 sentences
2. Introduction:
a. State the question you are examining and why it is worth studying
b. List the subtopics into which your paper is organized.
3. Description of Research.
Describe the methods investigators have used to study each subtopic. Summarize results, if any, between results from different studies, and try to suggest reasons for these conflicts. Cite studies by author and year in the body of your paper, not in footnotes at the bottom of the page or at the end of the paper. For example, “According to Yost and Sehft (1993), auditory processing in children develops…”. Avoid long words for word quotes from articles.
4. Conclusion: Summarize the important points raised in your paper. Discuss the theoretical and/or practical implications of the studies you have analyzed. Do the data support any broad hypothesis?
5. References: List all the articles and books to which you have referred in the body of the paper in this section.

– Journal Articles: Authors (date). Title. Journal, volume number, pages.
Make sure reference include at least one primary source in the last three years in a scientific journal.
Plus, I wrote my topic paragraph like this:
<Age Related Hearing Loss>
I plan to research the question of why we lose our hearing, as we get older. I will focus on the physiological methods used to study this issue. The journal article I have consulted so far is: Tesch Romer, C. (1997). Psychological Effects of Hearing Aid Using Older Adults. Journal of Gerotology: Psychological Sciences, 52B, 127-138
