Political Party Paper

You need to create a political party.  Info on your party should include

​-your party’s name

-a good description of your own party’s platform (list of things they want to get done).  Your platform should include AT LEAST four agenda items

​​-a list of the people who would likely support your party.  Some examples are:

​​​-race

​​​-age

​​​-social class

​​​-education level (etc…you may use others that you find elsewhere)

-media outlets that would likely support your party (I want specific examples. Fox News is a media outlet.  You should include two media outlets and should also explain why they would likely support your party

-you need to identify if your party is mainstream (one that tons of people would support like the Republicans or Democrats) or extreme (one that only a select group of people will support – like the American Nazi Party)

-you have to pick a party mascot (example: Republicans are elephants and Democrats are donkeys) – feel free to be creative but don’t be gross

-you have to choose a presidential candidate and tell me why you chose them (your candidate CANNOT be you or a family member).  They can be real people, cartoon characters, or people on TV

-make up a party slogan (a catchy phrase that will attract people to your cause)

-write a short campaign speech from your presidential candidate trying to get people to vote for them (since that’s what political parties care about most)

This paper is designed to encourage creativity while working with what you know about political parties.  Your parties can be ‘fun’ and ‘nontraditional.’ I like creative party names and slogans.  They don’t have to be anything close to what we have.  Try to stay away from names like (Republicrat, Democan, etc).  I want you to THINK about this.  As long as your party is somehow applicable to American politics, game on!  Good luck and HAVE FUN WITH THIS!!

Paper needs to be 4-5 FUL double spaced pages (and that DOES NOT include any pictures/title pages/etc.).

Times New Roman, 12 point font, 1 inch margins.

Assignment 1: Discussion—The Power of Groups

Groups may be both a boon (for example, they statistically outperform individuals) and a bane (for example, they take too long) of decision making. While they can systematically outperform individuals, groups are also prey to systematic bias and organizational skewing.

Consider the systematic decision-making processes of your own organization. Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following:

• What are the group decision-making processes and structures in place at your current or with a previous employer that were designed to eliminate bias, create structure, and cultivate consistently better decisions?
• Were the processes successful? Why, or why not?
• How may the structure have facilitated organizational skewing?

By the due date assigned, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through the end of the module, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses.

Write your initial response in 300–500 words. Your response should be thorough and address all components of the discussion question in detail, include citations of all sources, where needed, according to the APA Style, and demonstrate accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation

Do the following when responding to your peers:

• Read your peers’ answers.
• Provide substantive comments by
  • contributing new, relevant information from course readings, Web sites, or other sources;
  • building on the remarks or questions of others; or
  • sharing practical examples of key concepts from your professional or personal experiences
• Respond to feedback on your posting and provide feedback to other students on their ideas.
• Make sure your writing
  • is clear, concise, and organized;
  • demonstrates ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and
  • displays accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

World Literature Essay #2

Choose two of the texts listed below:

• Frederick Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
• Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilyich
• Thomas Mann, Death in Venice
• Zhang Ailing, “Sealed Off”
• Any poem from the final two weeks of class

In your essay, respond to one of the following prompts:

1. What do the texts you have selected suggest about the value of literacy, literature, art, or beauty?
2. What do the texts you have selected suggest about the human propensity to distract oneself from significant issues, such as mortality?

Tips for Getting Started:

1. Once you have made your selections above, you must examine the texts to arrive at a thesis, which will be your statement about what you think these works suggest about your theme.
2. Each body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that pertains to your thesis.
3. Each body paragraph should include quotations from both texts.
4. In your interpretation and work with these quotations, you should aim to show how these texts achieve what you have claimed is their comment on your theme.
5. Quote the text directly and draw out meaning by paying close attention to wording, images, metaphors, dialogue, or characterization. You do need to address all of these things. I simply offer them as a few valuable approaches.
6. Offer a title that encapsulates your argument.
