  • “Narratives and the Nation: Exploring Fiction and Non-Fiction Works in Relation to Social and Political Contexts”

    Hello!
    Please edit my essay by:
    -fitting the prompt (make sure it answers and covers everything, include key words)
    -making sure quotes are used and analyzed the best way (change, add or remove if needed, id prefer if you added quotes or analysis, or nothing, not remove as the professor loves quotes for evidence) 
    -change the in text citations: (…, p. …) to (…, Page ….)
    -make it fit the word counts (3500 words)
    -humanize it where it sounds like AI as I have used ChatGPT to write it (submit it through turn it in and AI detector once done)
    -you can rearrange and do whatever, just make sure to keep the content
    Here is the essay prompt:
    The premise of this course is that ‘narratives’ (defined in a very broad sense) are critical to ‘imagining’ and ‘disseminating’ and possibly also ‘deconstructing’ the nation. For your final term paper identify two works – one fictional and one non-fictional – that can be related to this theme and critically explore them within the following parameters.
    1.    Both the works need to be from a single context so that they can be related to each other. The works can be from any genre – film, theater, text (prose or poetry).
    2.    Both works need to be ‘substantial’ – substance here does not necessarily mean length but should have significance in relation to the broad theme outlined above and should have the potential to yield an insightful discussion.
    3.    It is expected that you will do research in to the works you have selected and reference their social and political context and history. There needs to be evidence that you consulted secondary sources (such sources can be a range of things – books, academic articles, newspaper articles, blog entries and even discussion on social media).
    4.    As in the second presentation you completed for this course, you are expected to critically explore the “performative” as aspects of the texts you chose. How do they “imagine” the nation? What allusions and metaphors do they deploy? What are the “aesthetic” qualities of the texts? How to they figuratively imagine the nation? This is not an extensive list but simply a set of prompts to get you thinking.
    5.    You are also welcome to explore how the these texts/narratives might also be demonstrating ways of thinking ‘beyond the nation’. In other words how they might be imagining ways of being in the world that are not limited to an exclusively national framework. 
    6.    This assignment will be judged primarily on your ability to build a cogent and logical extended argument and therefore the written essay must clearly be structured and organized.

  • Title: Regional Perspectives on Contemporary Issues: An Integrative Analysis of Four Articles from Reputable News Sources

    For this paper, you will search, read, analyze, and write based on articles from reputable mainstream news sources about various political, environmental, economic, or cultural topics that cover at least one region (and at least two countries from the region) from the eleven major regions we are exploring in this course. Check these important guidelines below:
    At least four articles should be considered for this paper. 
    The articles selected should have been published no more than six months before the course began. Ideally, you should identify interconnections between events, as well as highlight some of the regional characteristics you read about from the course content that can be hinted at in the articles.  
    The final paper should be submitted in Word or PDF format. 
    It should contain about 1000 words, excluding references.
    Articles must be referenced and cited using either MLALinks to an external site. or APALinks to an external site. format (consult the library website in case you need more info). Remember that a URL alone is not a proper citation. You must use in-text citations (for direct quotes and paraphrasing) AND works cited page.
    Use appropriate articles. The articles should be from reputable mainstream news sources, such as The Conversation, The New York Times, the BBC, CNN, Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, etc.
    What to write —
    The paper should analyze the four articles integratively – compare their perspectives on the issue of your choice, their scopes of agreement and disagreement, the limits of their argument, etc. 
    As far as the structure of the paper, I would suggest, in about 400 words, introducing the topic based on the articles and synthesizing them. In the remaining 600 words, do an integrated analysis of all these pieces from a regional perspective. Consider the following when doing the analysis: 
    – Show how your chosen articles relate to one or more of the themes we have touched on in this course.
    – Identify spatial interrelationships. Highlight how your chosen topic/event occurring in a particular place and time might be influencing other spaces/countries/regions/landscapes/peoples, not necessarily from the other articles but in general. How is one event occurring in one place affecting other places? This is a good exercise to learn to identify the interconnections between locales.
    – Demonstrate and apply how the concepts we learned through the course material help to analyze/expand your understanding of the topic/theme? Does the course material lead you to question some of the statements or assumptions in the articles or to see them in a more organized way?
    – Think about how the articles add to what we learned in this course– does it add detail? Does it show how generalizations about the whole region may or may not apply to specific places within it?

  • Title: “Analyzing a Peer-Reviewed Journal Article on the Impact of Climate Change on Biodiversity”

    For this assignment, you will be reading and reviewing an article from a peer reviewed journal. You will then be analyzing the article and writing a summary of your findings. Complete the attached assignment and submit it to the assignment folder.
    Read the article, taking notes or highlighting to suit your needs.
    Write a paper analyzing your article. Write this as a guide to the article. It should be in the form of a bulleted list or something similar; it’s not a full essay. In the guide, you should do the following:
    Evaluate the source. Not all peer-reviewed material is reliable. Predatory journals and just poor work by reviewers can lead to problems with these articles. Research your source and confirm that it is a reputable journal. In your guide, give 1 or 2 bits of evidence that it is or isn’t. Also, research the authors and find out whether they are qualified to write this paper, whether they are the actual researcher, and so on. Again, include a couple points on your guide. Some websites to help you with this:
    Evaluating Information Sources: What Is A Peer-Reviewed Article?
    Nature
    Beall’s list of predatory journals and publishers
    Directory of open access journals
    State the question being asked and the hypothesis being proposed. What are the scientists trying to figure out?
    List any assumptions and evaluate their validity. Note that the hypothesis is not an assumption. Assumptions are not things you test, they’re things you already believe to be true. If there’s solid scientific evidence already backing up an idea, it’s not an assumption. You may not be able to find anything for this point but look closely.
    Describe the research methods and materials.
    Describe the research results and evidence collected.
    State the conclusion the authors come to. This should be brief and decisive in your guide. What did they come up with?
    Discuss whether the results support the conclusion. Does the evidence given in the paper support the claim the authors are making? Is there some other questions you’d like answered or did they cover all the possibilities? Is there some other conclusion that a reasonable person might come to based on this experiment?
    Discuss possible errors. Do not include “human error,” “tools that didn’t work,” or “math errors.” These things can happen, and everybody knows that, but it’s not what you mention in error analysis. Look for things built into the method or data that might skew the results.
    Discuss the importance of the research to society and the connection to what we’re covering in class.
    Include a citation for your article and for any other source you used.
    You’ll need to keep all the above fairly brief, so the idea is to analyze the article for key points and main ideas rather than just including all the information in your guide. Don’t summarize, analyze. Pick out what matters. Try to keep your guide under a page or so in length. A bullet list is acceptable here. This doesn’t need to be an essay.

    Textbook Author: Huber, et al.
    Chapters 11 & 12
    Overview
    The topic of Chapter 11 is an introduction to real estate principles. This chapter covers four important concepts for the real estate student. First, the real estate licensing in California is discussed, along with the real estate market. Second, the historical influence of real property is examined. Third, the difference between real property and personal property is spelled out clearly. And last, the chapter concludes by analyzing various methods of land description. These concepts are important because they may be on the real estate exam for licensees.
    Key Concept from Chapter 11
    I learned that real estate can be a profitable professional (p. 4). One of the reasons it can be profitable is because the compensation to agents is based on the sales price of the house. In California, real estate values are typically high, which translates into a high commission. The commission is always paid to the broker, but the real estate salesperson receives a portion. Many real estate agents are using social media to promote their services.
    Key Concept from Chapter 12
    The second thing I learned is that property owners have a “bundle of rights” (p. 5). It means they have control of certain things because they own the real estate. Generally, people view it as a bundle of sticks, with each one of them being a “right” the owner has. Their types of rights vary based on their level of ownership. For example, homeowners have the right to possess (live in) their houses – unless they rent out the house to tenants. In that case, the tenant now has the right to possess the house.
    Key Concept from Chapter 11 or 12
    The third concept I learned is the definition of real property (p. 6). There are four things that define real property: land, affixed to the land, appurtenant to the land, or immovable. These items “tests” are what separates real property from personal property. For example, a refrigerator can be moved out of the house, so it is considered personal property. However, a fence is permanently dug into the ground so it becomes part of the real property, along with the land and the house.
    Summary
    This was an interesting chapter and I learned a lot about real estate. Real estate has a long and colorful history in California. There are several types of land description methods, which will probably be on the state real estate exam. I know I will have to study some of the concepts further, such as the MARIA acronym of determining personal versus real property. In addition to the knowledge of concepts, real estate involves math calculations.

  • “Navigating the Storm: A Reflection on the Impact of University Strikes”

    This paper is regarding a strike that happened, at my university York University. This is my second strike, as the first strike was back in 2018 and it really turned my world upside down as I had never been through a strike and did not know how to handle it. I ended up dropping my courses and had to basically start all over again the following semester. So when this strike happen on my final year I was stressed but then was brought to a calmer state after the professor reassured me that I had nothing to worry about. This reflection should also talk about everything else that is on the instructions that I have uploaded on here. I have lecture notes uploaded here to along side lecture PowerPoint to give you something to go off.
