PROMPT B: EXTENDED DEFINITION: Define or redefine one of the following words:

Family
Success
Courage
Art
Beauty

In your draft, briefly explain how society, or the dictionary, defines the word you’ve selected, and then explain your unique or extended definition of the word. Provide examples and explanations to support your definition. Your thesis must inform your readers of your new definition and, because you are writing in the informative mode, you must use objective language.

Begin by choosing a topic for your comparison/contrast essay. You are free to select your own topic, or you may use one of the sample topics listed below. However, you should choose a topic that you have knowledge of so that you have sufficient points of comparison or contrast to discuss in your essay. You will need to compare or contrast two or three primary points about the two subjects you choose to write about, resulting in an essay with either four or six body paragraphs, an introductory paragraph, and a conclusion.

In order to foster learning and growth, all essays you submit must be newly written specifically for this course. Any recycled work will be sent back with a 0, and you will be given one attempt to redo the touchstone.

Sample Topic Ideas:

Compare or contrast two cities youve visited or that youve lived in
Compare or contrast two members of your family
Compare or contrast two sources of news
Compare or contrast two singers in different music genres
Compare or contrast two historical figures
Compare or contrast two artists (for example, Vincent van Gogh and Pablo Picasso or Keith Haring and Andy Warhol)
Compare or contrast two eras in time
Compare or contrast two television series
Compare or contrast two types of technologies (for example, Android and Apple phones or PlayStation and Xbox)
Compare or contrast two medical topics (for example, traditional medicine and modern medicine or doctors and midwives)

Remember that the two subjects you choose should have a meaningful connection so that you can draw comparisons or contrasts between the two.
Your thesis should convey the main idea of the essay and clearly articulate what two topics you are comparing/contrasting. Because you are writing in the informative mode for this essay, you should use objective language. Remember that for this essay, you are not trying to persuade or convince the audience that one thing is better or worse than the other; you are instead informing the reader about the similarities or differences between the two subjects in an objective manner.

Examine Case 6-The Promotion Decision and answer the following questions:
1.    Evaluate Ms. Hopkinss performance in the crisis.
2.    Was hiring the finance specialist a good decision on the part of the corporation?
3.    What message was being sent by this decision?
4.    What are some of the possible costs of this decision?

We could, you know. We can live any way we want. People take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience–even of silence–by choice. The thing is to stalk your calling in a certain skilled and supple way, to locate the most tender and live spot and plug into that pulse. This is yielding, not fighting. A weasel doesn’t “attack” anything; a weasel lives as he’s meant to, yielding at every moment to the perfect freedom of single necessity.

I think it would be well, and proper, and obedient, and pure, to grasp your one necessity and not let it go, to dangle from it limp wherever it takes you. Then even death, where you’re going no matter how you live, cannot you part. Seize it and let it seize you up aloft even, till your eyes burn out and drop; let your musky flesh fall off in shreds, and let your very bones unhinge and scatter, loosened over fields, over fields and woods, lightly, thoughtless, from any height at all, from as high as eagles.

answer this question
Dillard urges her readers tostalk your calling by plug[ging] into your purpose – yet she describes this process as yielding, not fighting. What message is she trying to convey in the final two paragraphs of her essay with these words?

There are three questions. For the 1st and 2nd question, there is one article you need to read. For the 3rd question, you need to read two articles to answer the question. Please provide minimum 275 words for each answer. You can directly answer the question without any format. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Please read these instructions and follow them to the letter. Points will be deducted for improper format and not meeting the three-page rule.
A suggested strategy for completing this assignment and ensuring maximum points would be to answer the following questions:
1. What foundations helped shape modern law enforcement (eras of policing)?
2. What law enforcement structures grew from those foundations?
3. What are some new strategies employed by modern law enforcement agencies today?
***Write one page (5 paragraphs) in answering each question. 
Directions: Write a 3 page APA style paper (remember I am looking for critical thinking and discernment of information to equal a unique work of your own, giving proper credit to reference sources).  There must be three pages of content (the title and reference page do not count toward the required number of content pages)!  NO ABSTRACT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS PAPER!
Reference requirements a minimum of 3 references are required for this paper (journals and books – no Wikipedia) 
Presentation Style – This paper must be written in APA style (research margin, heading, double spaced and reference requirements, etc.).
*You may use 6th Edition APA Guidelines

The final paper should be 10 double-spaced pages in length, exclusive of title page, abstract, should you wish to include it, and any end note and bibliography pages. It is preferred that you use Microsoft Word if possible, one (1) inch margins on all sides.  The font should be Times New Roman. The finished paper will use both primary and secondary sources to demonstrate the plausibility of a clearly-stated, analytical thesis.

The Introduction section should clearly state the thesis within the first 1-2 paragraphs. The thesis must be relevant and appropriate to the argument and demonstrate an accurate and complete understanding of the question(s). It should do more than restate the question(s) and offer a brief response and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.

The Argument section should incorporate pertinent details from assigned coursework and outside readings as indicated in your Annotated Bibliography.  The section must provide relevant historical evidence to support the thesis and the key claims made in the argument as needed. It should maintain focus and avoid getting sidetracked. it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.

The Conclusion section should be in the last part of your paper within the last 1-2 paragraphs. It should briefly restate the thesis and summarize the main points of the argument. It should also demonstrate insight and understanding regarding the question(s) asked and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.

I will include the thesis, abstract, and annotated bibliography.
