2. Choose one paragraph in each essay or one section of the video. Describe any techniques the writers use to support their claims. Do they focus entirely on logical arguments (logos), ethical appeals (ethos), or symbolic and emotional language (pathos)?

3. Do the writers/speakers use any counterevidence in their essay/video? If so, provide examples. If not, what are the limitations of the writers’/speakers’ arguments? What might they say to counter these limitations?

4. Finally, what have you learned about argumentative writing from reading these essays or watching these videos? What approaches might you take in your own writing project?

The other 75 words please write a response to the discussions underneath. Do you agree, is it good, what are some points you took out of it, etc, normal responses?

“In the U.S. The Constitution talks about the Bill of Rights that extended to all Americans and it also talked about the Civil War. The countrys founding Americans were a multiethnic, polyglot mix of English, Dutch, Scots, Irsh, French, Swedes and etc. The Viriginians or New Yorkers then came when Americans were fighting in the Civil War. Virginia imprisoned the Quakers and Massachusetts whipped the Baptists. Government churches were very common, nonbelievers were denied basic civil and political rights to everything if they did not believe in God. For the pathos part- There was racism stuff happening to the Blacks, so in 2016 the students of the University of Missouri started a Black Lives Matter co-founder campaign. Black activists such as Martin Luther King Jr was a Black Panthers, wrote the law professor Dorothy E Roberts in 1997 was framed for their demands in the terms of constitutional rights. The writer establishes the texts by letting women and minorities have freedom of speech. The logos part- The claim is relevant todays time it goes from the 1990s to present. The writer does jump to conclusion and the writer does not have any logical fallacies. The ethos part- The writer is trustworthy he/ she seems to be telling the truth. The writer is knowledgeable and reasonable, he/she gives out good information on the topic. The writer compares it to the Civil War. the author does not have any counterevidence in this essay. What I learned is how to write an argumentative essay a little bit. I’m still kind of confused on how to come up with a topic and evidence, etc.. “

Risk Management Information System – Essay 2

March 1, 2021 Leave a comment Computer Science, Undergraduate

Instructions for Analysis Essay #2
Your essay must be at least 1500 words (approximately 2 pages long). Microsoft Word has a word count feature, and you can usually view the word count in the bar at the bottom of Word. If necessary, search Google for help on how to view the Word count in Microsoft Word.

Please write only in your own words. You are encouraged to read various sources to learn more about your information system, but due to the brief length of the essay, you are discouraged from directly quoting from your sources. Instead, explain what you learned from your research, and what you know from your own experience with the system, in your own words. Do not quote directly from your references, but do list the references you consulted in your research at the bottom of your essay.

In Analysis Essay #2, you will address the following:
1) a brief reminder of the name and purpose of your chosen information system,
2) server-side hardware requirements of your system,
3) server-side software requirements of your system,
4) client-side hardware requirements of your system,
5) client-side software requirements of your system,
6) competitive analysis of the system,
7) your recommendations for improving and enhancing your chosen information system
8) conclusion.

Begin with a brief paragraph reminding us of the full name of your information system and its primary purpose and uses. Do not copy this from your first essay, but briefly describe your system again in different words.

The next 2-3 paragraphs should address the positive and negative impacts your information system has on the users of the system. Positive impacts are benefits your information system has for the users. For business systems, this will include how it makes your business processes more effective and efficient. For home and personal systems, this will include how the system makes some task or tasks in your personal life more effective and efficient. Try to quantify some of the positive impacts in terms of savings of cost, time, and effort by the users, as compared to what the manual process of accomplishing the same tasks would be, if you did not have the computer-based information system.

Negative impacts may include overdependence on the information system. When there is a system outage, how does this impact the operations and productivity of your organization? Be sure to also discuss any contingency plans that the users of this system have for maintaining business continuity during system outages (for business systems) or for accomplishing the same tasks manually or via a different system (for home/personal systems).

In the rest of your essay, give at least 3 recommendations for improving your information system. This section of your essay should be at least 1 page long. Each recommendation should be at least one fully developed paragraph and should not just identify a problem with the system, but should offer a specific, concrete solution to that problem, along with a plan for how you would implement that solution. The types of recommendations I am looking for are improvements and enhancements to the computer-based information system itself. I am primarily looking for you to suggest new features and functions that could be added to the system to make it better. What additional functions would you like your information system to be able to do? I am looking for your own original ideas. Additional technical recommendations you could make include specific ways you would add additional back-up or redundancy capabilities, or specific hardware upgrades that might increase the speed of the system. Just make sure that each recommendation you make is for a technical improvement to the system itself, and not managerial or organizational recommendations, like additional training on the system. Also, be as specific as possible. For example, if you recommend that the layout of the systems graphical user interface be made more user-friendly, then describe exactly what you would change about the layout to improve the usability.

Your essay will automatically be checked for plagiarism by TurnItIn. There must be no more than 5% similarity to sources to receive credit for this assignment.

History

March 1, 2021 Leave a comment History, Not applicable

During the 1700s, the English colonies along the coast of North America developed into some of the wealthiest and most populated European colonies in the Western Hemisphere.  British domination of the world trade provided the American colonies with goods from around the world and very little government oversight from England.  Following the British victory in the French and Indian War in 1763 this began to change, ultimately ending British control of the colonies and resulting in the independence of the United States of America in 1776. 

Main Essay Question: How did the relationship between England and the American colonies start to change following 1763 and what were some of the issues that escalated the coming of the American Revolution?
 
Essay answers should be more than 300 words and provide at least three detailed specific examples of how the relationship between England and the colonies resulted in the American independence.  All examples should be dated between 1763-1776.
