Women empowerment through microfinance – A case study of warangal district

Whichever topic you choose, your essay must make reference to materials and subjects covered in the first semester of the module. You are encouraged when writing your essay to make connections across the module, but don’t try to cover too much in one essay: keep it focussed. Try to put together an argument but don’t write a string of unsubstantiated opinions. Back up your opinions with appropriate audiovisual examples and avoid overly complex or long sentences. Try also to avoid short paragraphs (they suggest your thinking is not joined up) and remember to ensure that spelling, grammar and punctuation are correct. Your essay should use appropriate referencing, a full bibliography (and discography and filmography/videography if you have discussed examples in detail) and make it clear when any information you use is taken from other sources. Avoid overusing internet sources: we expect you to look at articles and scholarly books. An exception to this would be where you are using internet sources as primary sources for the purpose of discussing the mediation of popular music online; such distinctions should become clear to you during the module.

Background/Context Sontag ends her book with a discussion of Jeff Wall’s art piece, “Dead Troops Talk.”  (Links to an external site.)  The final section of her book begins with the question: “Is there an antidote to the perennial seductiveness of war?” (122). To which I would add: …and what role might images play in this antidote? The Jeff Wall picture seems to be one possible answer to her question–but why? What is it doing that other images in the book are not doing? Write an essay that argues for the importance/relevance of one or more of Sontag’s ideas about looking at images of pain and suffering.  Use research to establish the terms of your argument, and use a minimum of 8 quotes from Regarding to make your points/back up your claims. Explore and define the depictions—and implicit or explicit expectations of reaction that correspond to those depictions—of the pain of others in your general sphere of experience. The book is really about the effects (+/-) of the various common images of the outcomes of global violence. Which, if any, of these image types directly affect you?  Search for quotes that relate to your freewrites on the above bullet points. Three outside sources that cover distinctly different material (i.e. referring to three different social media sites to make one point does NOT constitute three sources). Cite all sources in MLA (and include a properly formatted Works Cited page—10 points). MLA document format: (see MLA Handbook and/or Purdue OWL link) typed, double-spaced, serif-font (Times New Roman or Cambria), 1” or 1.25” margins, name/pg.# on header.  our grade will be based, in large part, on the clarity of, and reasonable basis for, your claims (these claims will be contained in and/or explained in your reflections that can be part of this essay). It will also be based on how well you meet the requirements, and on syntax, grammar and structural integrity (paragraph-paragraph and sentence-sentence coherence). essays of sophisticated analysis and argumentation that reflect critical thinking in a style both rhetorically effective and conventionally correct . You will explore a line of inquiry and limit the topic appropriately, and you will establish and state a unifying thesis or proposition.  you will use examples, details, and other evidence to support or validate your thesis and other claims.

Instructions: This essay should be between 900 and 1000 words, excluding the required annotated bibliography. The Toulmin essay will help you practice what you have learned so far in this course. First, you will choose a topic of interest. Make sure that you choose a public debate with clear sides and staked. Then, you need to research that debate in order to narrow the topic’s scope, so it can be easily discussed in 1000 word essay. For example, you may be interested in learning more about traffic issues in the United States. However, that topic is too large to cover in a 1000 word essay. After researching peer reviewed articles that discuss US traffic issues in general, you may discover that the metro system in the District of Columbia is underfunded and underutilized. Through your research, you found that you could make a claim that more funds should be made available in order to upgrade the metro system, which would improve traffic issues in the District of Columbia. This would make for a stronger, specific argument. Attached below is a PDF on sides and stakes that can help with this process. This should be a thesis-driven essay, and it should be in the third person. This essay must include a minimum of five sources. Three should be peer-reviewed sources, preferably from the APUS databases. From the library welcome page, click on Advanced Search at the bottom of the page and then check the “peer reviewed” sources box filter. Library Link: https://www.apus.edu/apus-library/index.html I already looked up one peer-reviewed article: https://www-tandfonline-com.ezproxy1.apus.edu/doi/abs/10.1080/09546559708427402 The media and terrorism: A reassessment Paul Wilkinson Pages 51-64 | Published online: 21 Dec 2007 Download citation https://doi-org.ezproxy1.apus.edu/10.1080/09546559708427402 You may also use primary sources (interviews, statistics, etc); however, these primary sources should be obtained from experts within that field. Note: Consider your audience as laymen in the field with only general knowledge of your topic. Make sure to include the following sections in your essay: an introduction and claim, background, body, and a conclusion. Within the body of your essay, make sure to include the following in any order: support for your claim, opposing or alternate views, the strengths and weaknesses of your opponents’ claims, and your rebuttals of their claims. After you have written your essay, please make sure to revise the content of your essay. Lastly, be sure to edit your essay by checking grammar, format, and smaller technical details. Please make sure your essay is written in third person. The Annotated Bibliography An annotated Bibliography (AB) is due with your Toulmin essay. Using the MLA guide, list each source as it will appear on the Works Cited page of your essay. Summarize each source in two or three grammatically-correct sentences, and indicate how it will be useful to your project. These short discussions are the “annotations.” The following is a sample of an annotated bibliography entry: Clark, Irene L. The Genre of Argument. Fort Worth, TX: Harcourt Brace, 1998. Print. Clark’s textbook identifies the major steps to developing a well-researched and well-written argumentative essay. It is older, but still contains much useful material on process. Professional essays are included in the text as models. It will help me mostly with writing and organization, since internet research has changed since 1998. Also, on the first page needs an outline: Example: I Introduction and thesis II Background Info a. First example b. Second etc. III Support for Claim a. First example b. Second example, etc. IV Opposing View Discussion a. First possible opposition to claim b. Second, etc. V. Your rebuttal to all the points in IV VI. Conclusion
