The web is used for a number of different things these days. It has influenced the way people communicate, the way
they do business, and the way they see the world.
Choose one aspect of our society that you feel has been most affected by the web. You can look at any part of
society: communication, information sharing, file sharing, social networking, dating, etc. How has our dependence
on the web changed how people think, act, and interact? How has it affected or changed people’s views of what goes on in the world?
Note: Though the list is by no means exhaustive, you may use any of practices listed on the “15 Most Popular Uses of the Web” handout as a topic for this essay (though be sure to focus on just ONE of these practices); however, you are not limited to just what is found on that list. You may use another topic if you wish. This essay is a research based essay exploring the changes that have happened in society because of the expansion of the web. It should not focus so much on arguing whether the web was good or bad for society, but instead should discuss how people’s actions and practices- even expectations- are now different because of the use of the web. You may want to think of this essay as a compare/contrast essay- comparing how life was before the web/how people acted before the web, and how it is different now.
The essay should be written in MLA format:
12 pt font
1 Inch margins
Times New Roman
Header with last name and page number (Griffith 1) on top right hand corner of page
Heading on top left hand corner of page (Name, Instructor, Class, Date)

For this week’s discussion, we will use the research of anti-racist scholar and educator, Tim Wise in his documentary film White Like Me. You may access this film on Kanopy, on the page provided on this module or here. After you watch the film, please participate in this discussion by answering the following questions. According to Tim Wise’s research, what does it mean to be White in American society?
What are some of the historical structural advantages the have benefited White people and how do they continue to play a role in racial inequality today? Must name at least three and describe how they operated for credit
Based on Tim Wise and others interviewed in this film, what are some solutions to addressing racial inequality in our society?
Reflect on how you experienced watching this film and any lessons you believe are of value.
Give feedback to at least two classmates. Please make sure that for the first three question, you provide answers directly borrowing from the work of Tim Wise and others in this film. The only place to offer your personal position on the work presented by Tim Wise and others should be on your answer to number 4. To help me see your direct answers for each question, please number each paragraph 1-4. If this is not clearly organized in this order, your grade may be impacted.Finally and as usual, no feedback to classmates, no grade.
THESE ARE THE DIRECTIONS BUT I FOUND THE ANSWERS ON CHEGG WHAT I NEED YOU TO DO IS CHANGE THE WORDS AND MAKE IT UNLIKE THE ONE I GOT OFF CHEGG
1.According to Tim Wise’s research, being white in American society means having privilege and power due to the systemic and historical advantages that white people have had over other racial groups. White people have had access to better education, job opportunities, housing, and healthcare, and have not faced the same level of discrimination and prejudice as people of color.
2.Some of the historical structural advantages that have benefited white people include slavery, Jim Crow laws, and redlining. Slavery allowed white people to build wealth and power off the labor of Black people, while Jim Crow laws enforced segregation and limited opportunities for people of color. Redlining was a discriminatory housing policy that prevented people of color from buying homes in certain areas, which contributed to the racial wealth gap and segregation in neighborhoods. These policies continue to play a role in racial inequality today by creating generational wealth disparities and limiting access to opportunities for people of color.
3.Solutions to addressing racial inequality in our society include acknowledging and addressing systemic racism, investing in education and job training programs for people of color, implementing policies to address the racial wealth gap, reforming the criminal justice system, and promoting diversity and inclusion in all areas of society. It is also important for individuals to engage in anti-racist education and activism, and to challenge their own biases and privilege.
I ALSO NEED YOU TO ANSWER NUMBER 4 AND 5 BUT I CAN GIVE YOU NUMBER 5 AFTER YOU FINISH 1-4. ALSO FOLLOW THE DIRECTION GIVEN

Why Information Technology Is So Important Today

The purpose of this Research Paper is to write a Literary Critique of Kate Chopin’s “The Awakening” that features a mix of your own analysis and information from outside sources. The specific “lens” through which you will critique the book is up to you as are the particular areas of focus for the paper. The list of types of critiques that you can choose from are: psychological, moralist, biological, Marxist, formalist, historical, feminist, and deconstructionist critique. You will certainly have to summarize portions of Chopin’s book to give context to the reader, but remember this is not a summarizing activity. The goal of this paper is to use both your own ideas and information from your research to shed light on “The Awakening” in a formal critique of any type you choose. The research should lead you to a minimum of five outside sources for the paper (not including “The Awakening”). These sources should include a mixture of primary and secondary (if applicable), a variety of types (i.e. biographies, personal interviews for reader-response, magazines, books, films, websites, newspapers, etc.), should be timely and relevant to your subject, and could possibly even include a variety of opinions on the issues you are researching. Making sure that you include a wide variety of sources will help the essay to stay lively and engaging, versus writing a dry paper that has a “Wikipedia” feel to it. It is required that all five sources be used and properly cited at some point in the research essay, along with “The Awakening”. All of them must be cited in your Works Cited as well. 

our literary essay is your interpretation and documented analysis of a particular text. It is supported by documentation from primary and secondary sources. To write the essay, you should explore the themes, language, and characters in the text. You should reflect on the writer’s point of view, what the text reveals to children about the society we live in, and what the text reveals about human nature and literacy. You should then decide how these ideas could be used to construct a thesis about the text EVALUATING HOW THE AUTHOR USED AT LEAST 3 LITERARY DEVICES TO PRESENT A THEME (SEE VOCAB LIST). Your thesis will serve as your guiding point for developing an outline and composing your paper. Make sure you revise and edit your paper for content, documentation, style, grammar, and sentence structure.
All literary essays must follow MLA style of documentation. Papers should be approximately four double-spaced pages and should have the following structure: (1) an introduction, stating the purpose of the essay or the problem to be addressed in the essay, the rationale for the topic, and the literary text(s) and/or author(s) on which the essay will focus; (2) a main section, with at least three key points, clearly marshaled and illustrated with reference to the chosen text(s) and relevant secondary, critical sources; (3) a concluding section, summing up the key points of the essay and calling attention to the main thrust of its argument, and (4) Correct in-text citation and Works Cited page or, presented in strict adherence to the MLA style of documentation.
Please note that a Works Cited page is obligatory and you are required to make use of no less than two secondary sources in addition to the main text.  

read a short story from
Why I Live at the P.O.
Short story by Eudora Welty
And write an essay in which you consider the behavior of the characters and
how their actions can contribute to your own sense of self-awareness/introspection.
The steps:
1. As you read, think about the character behavior and the
consequences for their actions. These types of decisions have real world analogues and
probably are relevant to your life.
2. Reflect on how you might internalize/relate to the content of the story. Analysis
is the  foundation of self-awareness. Looking at the world around you helps you to conceptualize your own life; you can apply lessons from fiction to yourself.
There is a paragraph-by-paragraph writing guide. 
Requirements:
1. MLA formatting
2. Introductory paragraph that grabs the readers’ attention and ends with a thesis that
articulates your main point.
3. A paragraph that summarizes the story you read, following our usual 4-part formula.
part 1- what is the story’s message ? the first sentence should include;
The author
The title
The genre (story, novel, play, poem etc.)
What the story is teaching us.
part 2- what are the major plots points ? This part should be 2-3 sentences max. They should cover major
plot points. After reading the first 2-3 sentences, your reader should
have a basic idea of what happened in the literature.
part 3 – why did the author write the story ?Explain why the author is using fiction to teach us a lesson.
part 4 – Address the audience? , The final sentence should address:
Who is the target audience?
What should the audience think or do? OR How should the
audience change their perspective?
4. A paragraph analyzing the choice or behavior of a character in the story. Focus on aparticular incident. Cite the story.
5. A paragraph comparing the decision the character made (and the one you analyzed) to one you’ve made in your own life.
6. A paragraph explaining how you might internalize a lesson from this character/story to avoid making bad decisions or keep making good decisions.
7. A conclusion that restates the thesis and leaves the reader something to think about
These stories come from a book; when you cite them, please put the page number whence they came in parentheses after the quote 
There should be a WC(work cited)  page for the story and any other source you use

Research Paper #2 is a resubmission of Paper #1, with two main components that you will be evaluated on. 
First, you must go through and edit/revise your paper with an eye for fixing the issues I highlight in my comments and that you notice now that you have a second chance to look at your previous work. You may change as much or as little of your paper as you choose, but know that a portion of this resubmission will be evaluated based on the improvements you have made from your first submission. Improvements can consist of simple fixes to language, grammar, punctuation, format, etc., as well as larger issues like structure, argumentation, organization, evidence, and supporting commentary. Even if you received an A on your original submission, take some time to ensure that your writing is as flawless as possible before resubmitting.
Second, you must find and include (2) additional secondary sources in this submission in your second draft/submission. This step allows you to add in work and argumentation that you might now have had time for or the comprehension to include in the first draft, or perhaps to shore up a point or two that was a bit thin in the first submission. There are a few good ways to incorporate these new sources, ranging from simply adding more content to the argument you are already making to providing alternative approaches that you might not have had time to include, to introducing oppositional views on the ideas you have provided from the first submission. Whichever path you choose, please be sure to make the inclusion of these new sources as seamless as possible- your essay should not feel like two paragraphs have been stuck on the end, for example, but rather than these sources were a part of the paper from the start.
