Within your essay, you are to provide at least two sources within your work that supports your thesis.
You must choose the essay option I have provided for this assignment . If you submit an essay that does not respond to one of the prompts, your essay will not be accepted as an appropriate response to this writing assignment; instead, you will be asked to write another essay that does respond to the prompt you were assigned.
Racial Politics
Im happy to tip a generous amount. The amount of the tip will reflect the feedback I get from the final product you compose. Please only choose this prompt if you have an in depth history of the racial injustices of this country- specifically black American history.
Please respond to the prompt below. You should cite at least 3 outside scholarly sources and you are encouraged but not required to cite non-scholarly sources that are relevant to your thinking as well (i.e., artistic, journalistic, or other non-academic sources). (This paper should be in support of creating a racially equal society in the U.S)
Minimum of 8 double spaced pages, APA style citing format
Prompt:
The first two paper prompts have asked you to consider the systemic, institutional, ideological, cultural, and other forms of racism that created and sustain racial inequality in the United States. In this paper, I would like you to consider how one might approach a reform or revolutionary agenda to durably halt the cycle of racial caste that Alexander identified in The New Jim Crow.
How does real change happen? Changing the culture? Reforming institutions? Tearing down old institutions and creating new ones? What might a real dismantling white supremacist systems look like to you? How do we achieve your vision?
In your response, please be sure to directly address the main proposal of the Coates essay, “The Case for Reparations,” in which he writes, “A crime that implicates the entire American people deserves its hearing in the legislative body that represents them. John Conyers’s HR 40 is the vehicle for that hearing.”
I specifically want to see engagement with the following sources in order for you to achieve full credit for the paper: Michelle Alexander The New Jim Crow Ch. 6, Ashley Jardina White Identity Politics, and Coates.
Peace-making initiatives
It could be a political science piece that analyzes different wars, different peace deals, conflict resolution strategies; or, for instance, it could be a historical analysis of certain peace-making initiatives in the past.
It stands out among other forms of paper by its vigor to “explain” a puzzle through some empirical data (either some survey data, or some historical data or some other legitimate form of scientific data that could be used for a research paper)
you will have to rely more on external sources. You will formulate a research question, show how to answer it by sharing your methodological choices, bring up empirical evidence to demonstrate your points and answer the research question to explain the conundrum you raised. Your paper will naturally be longer (10 pages, including bibliography).
need to specify a tangible research question.
Which dimension of Korean war you want to elucidate and how will you connect it with War and Peace? Do you consider the status quo as a peace (at the expense of having a divided country) or is it just a settlement that cannot last forever? Or are you going to analyze China’s motives? (Which is a lot harder). We cannot really go that far finding out the real motives of countries as it could be highly speculative.
Side note: try to avoid emotionally charged judgmental sentences such as “they will always be a disgrace to…”

Mail-in voting system
Compose a 1000- to 1200-word news article on a topic that is relevant to your local community.
Must be a multi-draft composition: it should be brainstormed, planned, drafted, redrafted, revised, and edited, and should appear in its final draft form as a fully realized, carefully crafted, and meticulously revised and edited composition.
Must write for your community or your campus, so you must choose a local story or a broader story with a local focus: this means you can cover a national story but from a local angle.
Must NOT use other news stories as sources for your own story. You must conduct your own interviews and dig up data and facts from primary sources on your own. In other words, you cannot build your news story off the legwork of other journalists, and since you are writing a local story, this should be easier than you think. Interview neighbors, city council members, participants, and so on and turn to government websites (like the Dallas County COVID website, for example), police reports, surveys, and so on.
Must be purely objective; in other words, you cannot express your opinion or judgment in any way. You must purely report the news.
