  • “The Complexities of Immigration: Understanding the Ongoing Debate and Finding Common Ground”

    The Assignment: 
    In an argumentative essay of 2,000 words or more, address the following prompt. This essay should feature a well-developed thesis and appropriate evidence to support your claims. You must engage and cite at least one essays from in this class (either one I assigned, one you found for a homework assignment, or one found by one of your peers), and three outside nonfiction articles. Be sure to provide thorough analysis of all quotes and examples, and include your own argument based on your perspective on the topic.
    The Prompt:
    Pick an ongoing or recent social issue, political event, or newsworthy situation to focus on. Provide some context for this issue. Describe the situation, who is affected, and why it is occurring. Describe the different perspectives or stances on this topic. Why do people feel the way they do? What is your stance? Use examples from articles and your own experiences, observations, or perspective to support your claims. Please do not use the same topic you used for Essay #1.
    Research:
    The outside sources can be any nonfiction essays of your choice. You may choose to use news articles, personal essays, research essays, academic articles from the DVC Library database, or any combination that relates to your topic. The outside essays may bring a new perspective on the topic, present a counter-argument to the assigned text(s), or provide an example that supports your claims. If you choose to cite news articles, your sources should be legitimate news outlets that adhere to journalistic standards. (Note that this does not mean that the source is unbiased; all writing has some form of bias.) I recommend news sites like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Democracy Now, NPR, BBC,  The Nation, The Atlantic, The Guardian, The Economist, etc. (You are not required to use these; they are simply suggestions.) It would be most helpful if your articles are in-depth rather than a few brief paragraphs. You may also use opinion pieces but be sure to be aware of the author’s intention.
    Formatting:
    This essay will be in MLA format. This means it will be typed, double-spaced, in 12-point font (I prefer Times New Roman), with page numbers and your last name on each page, and a header on the first page. Your title should be original, and you must include a Works Cited page. Be sure to include in-text citations in the body of the essay. For help with MLA formatting and citations, please see the handouts on Canvas in “Resources for Essays.”

  • “Andrew Jackson’s Legacy: A Controversial Success”

     Respond to the following: 
    I believe Andrew Jackson would consider himself a success. His presidency left the U.S. with a big impact that would change history for better or for worse. Andrew Jackson did many things such as sign the Indian Removal Act in 1830. This act basically forced Native Americans off their own land. This eventually created the Trail of Tears, which was the movement of about 5 Native tribes. There tribes were told to leave America and told to go anywhere else but America. This left a tremendous impact on the Native population, but also Jackson as well. Jackson now seemed that his presidency was unethical as he forced other people off their land that they owned and controlled. I think Jackson would still think he made a conscious and right decision but the overwhelmingly majority of people think that Jackson committed a crime. As of 2018, About 59 percent of Americans believe Jackson committed genocide against the Natives (Inbody 2018). Others like Parton, believed that Jackson did more good than bad. To be more specific, he thinks Jackson had little to no responsibility of his actions because it is the citizens fault for electing him as president (Morse 155). I believe this is a very manipulative and irresponsible way of thinking.

    Coping Assignment
    Richard Lazarus (1984) delineated two types of coping strategies—emotion-focused and problem-focused. Both strategies include cognitive and behavioral strategies.

Discuss which strategy—emotion-focused or problem-focused—you personally think is more helpful in coping with stress. Support your answer with examples and reasoning.
