First Draft-Senior Legal Seminar Paper

 
In Bluebook format

Now that the Course Book outline has been approved, each of you are responsible for submitting a fully developed first draft of your respective chapter.

This week’s editor is responsible for collecting, and editing as appropriate, the chapter first drafts from each participant. The primary editing purposes are to ensure that each of the chapters will be, when completed:

– of sufficient analytical depth when reviewed against the Writing Rubric;

– are supported by high quality resources such as statutes, case law and law review articles; and

– that the chapters will dovetail with each other well so that the Class Book will coherently flow from one to the next and contain a coherent introduction and conclusion.

Written pathways paper #4

 
Please use same Criteria as previous order. I am attaching the previous paper. PLEASE READ VERY WELL and adjust after reading all comments. THEN add a page or 2 for part #4.
————————————–
Part#4. Discussion/recommendations: offer a solution or suggestions for improving how to ameliorate the impact on the health condition in the population, in both countries or at least in the low income country. Discuss public health work you propose that could change the patterns of the population health indicators of the health condition in the future. (1-2 pages)
——–
The whole paper Criteria : 1. Introduction of the globalization pathway: introduce it, describe it, define it, and explain how it is measured. Justify its relevance to global public health. Explain why you chose to work with it. Read Chapter 9 in the Birn et al. textbook. It contains a list of major globalization pathways, and has a discussion of how those pathways are linked to health issues. There are many combinations of pathways and health status indicators. Think of a pathway that interests you, for example, one pathway that “generates health inequities” is “environmental damage” (p. 426): as an example, it can result from agricultural issues which may affect a nutrition related health indicator, or you could use some aspect of water and relate that to an appropriate health outcome for which you have health status data. Some examples from last year: fast food proliferation and rates of death from cardiac disease, population migration and changing Chagas Disease rates and distribution, health technology proliferation and quality of health services. (1-2 pages)
2. Choose at least one health condition (and its population indicators) that is impacted through the pathway. Define the health condition, and how it is measured at the population level using epidemiologic or other numeric indicators (rates per xx population; proportions; incidence and prevalence, ratios) and define the indicators you will use. Discuss the assumptions needed to use the indicators. This is part of critical thinking, learning to critique the measures that you are using. Explain the source of the data, and whether it is valid and how you know that. We are accepting a broad definition of “Health condition”, for example, diseases, health care delivery system markers, access issues, pharmaceuticals, the context that creates vulnerability to non-optimal health status, unhealthy behaviors. You need quantitative evidence as part of your health status impact. Explain why you chose this health condition for this pathway. (1 – 2 pages)
3. Explain how the pathway impacts the health condition in a high income country and a low income country. Compare and contrast the countries. Show data verifying the HIC and LIC status of each country. Tables and graphs might be useful to compare patterns in the two countries. Critically discuss how the pathway affects the population levels of the health condition. Explain reasons why the patterns/effects exist in the two countries. Tell us why you chose these two countries to compare. (2-4 pages)
4. Discussion/recommendations: offer a solution or suggestions for improving how to ameliorate the impact on the health condition in the population, in both countries or at least in the low income country. Discuss public health work you propose that could change the patterns of the population health indicators of the health condition in the future. (1-2 pages)

Organization and Format of the Paper
The numbers of pages per part are suggestions, but the paper should be about 6-10 pages excluding references. There should be at least 10 references, mainly from professional peer-reviewed journals. Limit references to websites to less than 1/4 of all references, and include the name and date of the web site you accessed.
Pages must be 1.5 spaced with paragraphs indented but no lines skipped between paragraphs.
The final copy of your paper will be accompanied by your “Turn It In” report (an app on Canvas) detailing the percentage of your paper that copies other people’s work. Instructions will be given to you about how to use this program. You will have the ability to submit your paper to “Turn It In” as part of your own drafting and revising process. The instructor needs to see the report of your final complete version, the one you submit for grading.
Put your name in the document not just in the file name, that way you are showing me that you take responsibility for your work.
Put the date of submission in the document.
Put your last name (family name) in the filename of the document you submit, preferably something like Lastname-part1, Lastname-part 2, etc.
Please use section headings that clearly indicate the 4 parts of your paper.
Include page numbers in the document.
Submit each part electronically to Canvas at the place set up by the TA to receive them.
Provide a professionally prepared list of references for your paper.
Referencing Guidelines for Global Health Overview Pathways Paper
Scientific reports often assume that “the scientist knows nothing” and must reference each fact as it appears in the paper. Other scientists want to know where you got your information, so they can check it for authenticity and see if they accept the facts you present.
The following example shows unclear and incomplete referencing for stated facts: “Recent rates of breastfeeding (ever) are 73.9% in the United States and 90.3% in Canada, compared to 97.1% in Kenya and 98.5% in Peru (data from the CDC and WHO).” Which reference belongs to which rate? Each fact/number needs its own reference: for example, “73.9% in the United States (reference A) and 90.3% in Canada (reference B)”.
8
GHO-task-guidelines-2015, bjs, aje, 9/14/2015 4:15 PM
Accurate information means referencing where the facts you use came from. Statements like “Studies show…” or “1 billion people in the world are undernourished” need references.
If a whole paragraph of information is derived from the same source, please put the reference at the start of the paragraph with a sentence like: “The following information comes from Jones et al. (2015).” The style of having the reference for an entire paragraph of data at the end is not acceptable. If information comes from different sources in the paragraph, then put each reference in place for each piece of information.
Anything obtained from a web site needs the accessed Internet address and the date when the accessing occurred, not just the date of the source document.
Writing Style
Avoid journalistic (subjective) writing using words like “tremendous”, “horrible”, “large”, “many”, and provide data instead with comparisons to show how big a difference there is between some standard reference (or what is considered “optimal”) and the “non-normative”. For example, “exclusive breastfeeding rates for the first 6 months of life are 4 times higher in Peru than in the USA (reference C).” For a scientific paper – you need references for subjective thoughts, and if you are quoting, then use quotation marks, or use data to make the case along with proper citation for the data.
For scientific writing we are advocating that students use a style where the “point” or “bottom line” is the first sentence in the paragraph, and the sentences in the rest of the paragraph provide information in support of the assertion. I want to read the main point, and then fact, fact, fact, in support of that point…each with its own reference at the point of stating the facts (if they each come from a different source). Here’s a good example: “Typically the problem of domestic violence is more pronounced for women, but it is a problem for both men and women. According to the CDC, about 24.3% of women and 13.8% of men “have experienced severe physical violence by an intimate partner…at some point in their lifetime” (“Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence”, 2013). Furthermore, “9.4% of women have been raped by an intimate partner” and about twice as many women (16.9%) than men (8.0%) have experienced some other form of sexual violence (“Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence”, 2013). Finally, one third of “female homicide victims [are] murdered by their current or former partner (“Domestic Violence: Statistics & Facts”, 2015).”
————————
FINALLY VERY IMPORTANT!The final version needs to be accompanied by an assessment of the “copying” using “Turn It In”. . According to some experts you should strive for <20% copying, but that depends on how many references you have, which should be exactly like what exists on the Internet. Anything that is quoted with quote marks is also acceptable, as long as it is properly referenced. It is best if you finish your final version and run it through Turn It In as a draft, to see for yourself what the program considers “copied”, then revise, if needed, and submit for a final run. That final run is what we need to see. If there is “too much” copying we will ask you to revise the paper, which could result in a grade of “incomplete”. So plan ahead, and check for yourself first by assessing a draft version of the final complete paper

Assignment 3-4

 
This is an essay exam and should not be organized like an academic paper. I suggest answering each question with your word processor then carefully proofreading before copy/pasting into the boxes provided. Quote correctly from the texts when necessary to back up your assertions and show your understanding.

Part of what I�m doing here is checking to see if you know how to introduce and comment on quotations, and if you know how to select appropriate quotations that support the point you�re trying to make. Here is a copy/paste from the Virtual Salt website.

1. Introduce your quotations. A quotation should never suddenly appear out of nowhere. Some kind of information about the quotation is needed. Name the author, give his or her credentials, name the source, give a summary. You won’t do all of these each time, but you should usually name the author. For example:

a. But John Jones disagrees with this point, saying, “Such a product would not sell.”

b. In an article in Time Fred Jackson writes that frogs vary in the degree of shyness they exhibit: “The arboreal tree frogs seem to be especially. . . .”

2. Discuss your quotations. Do not quote someone and then leave the words hanging as if they were self-explanatory. What does the quotation mean and how does it help establish the point you are making? What is your interpretation or opinion of it? Quotations are like examples: discuss them to show how they fit in with your thesis and with the ideas you are presenting. Remember: quotations support or illustrate your own points. They are not substitutes for your ideas and they do not stand by themselves.

It is often useful to apply some interpretive phrasing after a quotation, to show the reader that the you are explaining the quotation and that it supports your argument:

�Here we see that

�This statement shows

�Clearly, then,

�We can conclude from this that

�This tells us that

�From this we can understand that
Below is the rubric I will use in evaluating your paper.

Quality: A good response will have a focus that will interest the reader and will not be totally obvious. It will go beyond class discussion and show evidence of your own thought.
20

Accuracy: You should not distort the works or conveniently leave out evidence that doesn�t fit your purpose. While varying interpretations are possible, you must be correct about the factual details of the works.
20

Clarity: I must be able to understand what you’re saying, and your rationale for your rankings must be developed in enough detail that I can understand you.
20

Quotation: You must refer to the texts by direct quotation and paraphrase in order to back up your assertions. You must incorporate quotations gracefully into your discussion, introducing them and commenting on their significance. Remember that the quotation doesn�t speak for itself � you are the interpreter. If you are unsure about how to do this, see “Using Quotations Effectively” below.
20

Format and Editing: Your work must be spell-checked and carefully proofread. You must have a reasonable command of the conventions of formal academic writing Name your file Lastname,Assn 3. Include a Works Cited page in MLA format, in which you list all sources referred to in your paper

Robert Frost “Mending Wall” and “The Road Not Taken”

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Mending Wall
Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun;
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
The work of hunters is another thing:
I have come after them and made repair
Where they have left not one stone on a stone,
But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,
No one has seen them made or heard them made,
But at spring mending-time we find them there.
I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
And on a day we meet to walk the line
And set the wall between us once again.
We keep the wall between us as we go.
To each the boulders that have fallen to each.
And some are loaves and some so nearly balls
We have to use a spell to make them balance:
‘Stay where you are until our backs are turned!’
We wear our fingers rough with handling them.
Oh, just another kind of outdoor game,
One on a side. It comes to little more:
There where it is we do not need the wall:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
If I could put a notion in his head:
‘Why do they make good neighbors? Isn’t it
Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.
Before I built a wall I’d ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
That wants it down.’ I could say ‘Elves’ to him,
But it’s not elves exactly, and I’d rather
He said it for himself. I see him there
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father’s saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
