Suppose you want to bring about a change in your organization. Do you really know how to go about making that change? You may use some type of strategy to convey the change process. You may also focus on the impact of the change and how it will benefit the organization. However, some employees might resist this change, so you need to have a backup plan to convince these employees.

Unit 8 Discussion: *A Raisin in the Sun* topic choice, thesis, and research

/in /by

Answer all of the following about “A Raisin in the sun”

1) Which question are you going to write about for A Raisin in the Sun?

– Hansberry is often viewed as a visionary because of her ability to predict many of the relevant issues to the African-American community today. Identify some of these issues and explain how they are the same or different from how Hansberry portrayed them.

– What statement does Hansberry seem to be making about race? Does she make more than one statement? If so, do these statements conflict with each other?

– Within the Younger household, there are three generations of women. Compare and contrast how the characters each form their unique identities.

– Although the play’s setting is likely the late 1940s, A Raisin in the Sun may best be understood in relation to the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Discuss this context for the play.

2) What is your working thesis statement? 

3) What information do you want to find in your sources that will help support your thesis? (For instance, if you’re writing about the civil rights question, you would likely look up sources that corroborate the key tenets of the civil rights movement with the key ideas about racism and the need for civil rights in Hansberry’s play–which, note, was written before the civil rights movement started).

policy memorandum

Policy Action Memorandum – FINAL SUBMISSION

Submit all parts of your Policy Action Memorandum, including your Conclusion.

  • The Policy Memorandum should be written to the head of a law enforcement or government agency advising them on a crime prevention or security issue.  The memorandum should be a minimum of three (3) pages and maximum of four (4) pages in length, single space, 12-point, Time New Roman font.
  • Policy Memorandums should be based on published sources (e.g., media or academic journal articles).  A list of the subject sources used for the Policy Memorandum should be a attached as a separate Endnotes page that is not part of the memo but allows the instructor to see the materials that formed the Policy Memorandum’s facts and arguments.  The Endnote page should list the sources in proper APA citation format.
  • You can choose your role in this assignment.  For example, as a consultant, you should argue for a specific policy/action even while weighing the choices.  On the other hand, an intelligence memo avoids taking a position but tried to present options or concerns without recommending a specific action.  Students will be evaluated with. rubric that includes presentation skills, organization, and in-depth knowledge of the presented content.
  • A Policy Action Memorandum is a practical, professionally written document that can vary in length from one page to over one hundred pages.  it provides analysis and/or recommendations directed to a predetermined audience regarding a specific situation, topic, or issue.
  • A Policy Action Memorandum is a practical, professionally written document that can vary in length from one page to over one hundred pages.  it provides analysis and/or recommendations directed to a predetermined audience regarding a specific situation, topic, or issue.
  • A well-written policy memo reflects attention to the research problem.  It is well organized and structured in a clear and concise style that assumes the reader possesses limited knowledge of, as well as little time to conduct research about, the topic of concern.  There is no thesis statement or overall theoretical framework underpinning the document; the focus is on describing one or more specific policy recommendations and their supporting action items.
  • You should not approach writing policy memo in the same way as you would an academic research paper.  Yes, there are certain commonalities in how the content is presented but the overarching objective of a policy memo is not to discover or create new knowledge.  it is focused on providing a pre-determined group of readers the rationale for choosing a particular policy alternative or specific course of action.  In this sense, most policy memos possess a component of advocacy and advice intended to promote evidence-based dialog about an issue.

5-7 Page Research Paper

/in /by

Your research project will be about a cultural family type.  Your family type will either need to be from another place in the world or it can be from an indigenous group from the U.S. or anywhere.  I have attached some indigenous cultures from around the world that you may use.

You will need to write some context about the cultural family type – give some history of the culture; the common religion in that culture; why might that family type be important within that religion, culture, or environment. The paper should also describe what a “typical” family might look like in that culture. 

For example:  In an American nuclear family, a typical family might be a mother, father, and two children. In an American nuclear family paper, I might write about how nuclear families use to have many more children because it was better for the family to have more hands to help around the house or farm. However, in the modern day, having fewer children allows the parents to provide more for their children.  (you will not be able to use the “American nuclear family.”)

The paper is worth 100 points.  Review the specifics below.

Requirements for the paper:

  • 5-7 pages long
  • Times 12-point or Arial 11-point (or similar)
  • At least 5 quality references – these must be academic resources (Wikipedia is not an academic source)
  • Must include:
    • Introduction and Conclusion
    • Cultural Context
    • History
    • Religion
    • Typical Family
    • Anything else that is relevant to your specific topic
